3. How We Use Your Information
3.1 Healthcare Provision
Your health data is special category data under UK GDPR. We process it on the basis of your explicit consent (Article 9(2)(a)) and for the provision of health care (Article 9(2)(h)):
- Assess your eligibility for treatment
- Support qualified prescribers and the regulated pharmacy partner to prescribe and dispense appropriate medications
- Provide clinical consultations and ongoing care
- Monitor your treatment progress and safety

4. AI-Assisted Clinical Support
Where you give explicit consent, AI providers and cloud service providers may process your messages, assessment answers and relevant clinical information so Nuora can draft replies, summarise information and support clinical review. AI does not make prescribing or other clinical decisions. Appropriately authorised professionals retain responsibility for those decisions.
You can withdraw AI-processing consent in your care preferences. If you withdraw, AI-generated responses stop and your messages are handled by the pharmacist team without AI. For questions about the use of your personal data, contact privacy@nuorahealth.com.
Nuora asks AI providers not to store its requests where the provider supports this, but cannot guarantee zero retention by a provider. Some providers may process data outside the UK; where that happens, the safeguards described in section 10 apply.
5. Data Sharing
We may share your information with:
- Healthcare Professionals: Prescribers, pharmacists, and clinical staff involved in your care
- Your GP: With your consent, we may share relevant treatment information
- AI Technology Providers: Providers that process consented information to draft, summarise and support clinical review; they do not make clinical decisions
- Delivery Partners: To fulfil medication deliveries (limited to delivery information only)
- Payment Processors: To process secure payments (we do not store full card details)
- Regulatory Bodies: Relevant regulators and public authorities where disclosure is required by law
We will never sell your personal or health data to third parties for marketing purposes.
6. Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data, including:
- Secure transmission and storage controls appropriate to the service
- Secure, access-controlled cloud infrastructure
- Security review and monitoring appropriate to the systems and risks involved
- Strict access controls based on role requirements
7. Data Retention
We retain your data for the following periods:
- Clinical and Prescription Records: For the period required by applicable healthcare and pharmacy record-keeping rules
- Account and Service Information: For as long as needed to provide the service and meet legal or regulatory obligations

8. Your Rights
