Privacy Policy
Legal Documents
Effective Date: 1 December 2025
Last Updated: 26 November 2025
MedVoyage Global Ltd and its affiliated entities (together referred to as “MedVoyage”, “we”, “us”, “our”) are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your personal data in a transparent and lawful manner.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose and protect your personal data when you use our websites, mobile applications, platforms and related services (together, the “Services”), and explains the rights that may be available to you under applicable data protection and privacy laws. It does not apply to third-party websites, platforms, or services that may be accessible through MedVoyage. Each third-party service may have separate privacy policies that differ from ours.
By accessing or using the Services, or by providing your personal data to us, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you should not use the Services.
1. Who we are and scope of this Policy
For most processing activities described in this Policy, MedVoyage Global Ltd, headquartered in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, acts as the data controller. Certain healthcare providers, diagnostic laboratories, insurers and other partners with whom you interact through the Services may also act as independent or joint controllers in respect of your personal data when they provide services directly to you.
This Policy applies to personal data that we collect through:
- Our websites and web portals, including any MedVoyage branded domains and subdomains.
- Our mobile applications and other software made available by MedVoyage.
- Any digital products, online booking tools, telehealth or coordination services operated by MedVoyage.
Third party sites, applications or services that you access through the Services are governed by their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for their data practices.
Please note that if you use the Services on behalf of another individual, such as a child, dependent or family member, you confirm that you have the authority to do so and that you will ensure that they are aware of this Privacy Policy. That individual will also be a data subject in respect of the personal data that relates to them.
2. Personal data that we collect
For the purposes of this Policy, “personal data” means any information that identifies, relates to or can reasonably be linked to an identified or identifiable natural person. Some of this information will be sensitive or “special category” data under certain laws, including information relating to health.

MedVoyage operates internationally. Your personal data may be transferred to and processed in countries other than the one in which you are located, including the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, member states of the European Union, the United States, India, Turkey and Pakistan.
Some of these countries may have data protection laws that are different from those in your country and may not be recognised by regulators as providing an equivalent level of protection.
When we transfer personal data from the United Kingdom, the European Economic Area or other jurisdictions with data export requirements to a country that has not been recognised as providing an adequate level of protection, we implement appropriate safeguards, such as:
- Standard Contractual Clauses approved by relevant regulators.
- Contractual obligations requiring recipients to protect personal data in line with applicable standards.
- Technical and organisational measures, including encryption and access controls.
You may contact us using the details at the end of this Policy if you would like more information about the safeguards applied to international transfers.
8. Data retention
We retain personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements, and to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
Retention periods will vary depending on the type of data and the context in which it was collected. For example:
- Medical and clinical records are usually retained for a minimum period specified in local health and professional regulations.
- Transaction and billing records are typically retained for a minimum period required for tax and accounting purposes.
- Technical logs may be retained for a shorter period to support security and troubleshooting.
When personal data is no longer needed for its original purpose and no legal obligation requires us to retain it, we will delete it or anonymise it so that it can no longer be associated with you.
9. Data security
We take the security of personal data seriously and implement appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to protect it against unauthorised or unlawful access, accidental loss, destruction or damage. These measures include:
- Use of industry standard encryption technologies to protect data in transit and at rest where appropriate.
- Firewalls, access controls and authentication procedures that restrict access to systems and data to authorised personnel only.
- Regular monitoring, logging and security reviews of our systems.
- Organisational policies and training for staff regarding data protection, confidentiality and information security.
Despite our efforts, no system can be guaranteed to be fully secure. If we become aware of a data breach that affects your personal data, we will take appropriate steps to investigate and mitigate the breach and, where required by law, we will notify you and the relevant supervisory authorities.
Your data is securely stored on encrypted servers located in thee USA, UK, and UAE, using industry-standard backup systems.
International transfers comply with applicable data protection laws through data processing agreements (DPAs) and cross-border data safeguards.
