Last Updated: October 15, 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how MedDRA AI, Inc. (“MedDRA AI,” “we,” “us,” “our”) collects, uses, shares, and protects personal information in connection with the MedDRA AI pharmacovigilance platform, websites, voice channels, APIs, and related services (collectively, the “Services”). Your use of the Services is also subject to our Terms of Service.

1. Purpose and Scope

We process personal information (a) as a controller when we determine why and how data is processed (for example, for account management, product analytics, or marketing), and (b) as a processor or HIPAA Business Associate when we handle protected health information (PHI) on behalf of our enterprise customers. When we act as a processor, our customers are responsible for providing privacy notices to individuals and honoring their rights. This policy describes our controller activities and the support we provide to customers for processor activities.

We do not use PHI for marketing without explicit authorization and never sell personal information or PHI.

6. How We Share Information

  • With subprocessors and service providers that host infrastructure, provide AI/ML capabilities, telephony, analytics, support, and billing. Subprocessors sign agreements imposing confidentiality, security, and data protection obligations aligned with HIPAA, GDPR, and our BAA commitments.
  • With Customers when needed to fulfill instructions (for example, delivering reports, audit logs, or integration data). Authorized Users may see activity within their organization based on role-based permissions.
  • With regulators, public health authorities, or law enforcement to comply with legal obligations or protect rights. We limit disclosures to the minimum required and notify Customers when legally allowed.
  • In corporate transactions such as mergers, acquisitions, or financing, provided personal information remains subject to this Policy and affected Customers receive notice.
  • With consent from the individual or Customer.

We do not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising as defined by the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA).

7. International Data Transfers

We store primary production data in the United States and may transfer personal information across borders to operate the Services. When required, we implement safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses, UK addenda, Data Privacy Framework participation (pending certification), and contractual and technical protections for subprocessors. Region-specific hosting may be available per Order.

8. Security

  • Encryption in transit and at rest for PHI and sensitive data.
  • Network segmentation, zero-trust access, security monitoring, and incident response playbooks.
  • Multi-factor authentication and least-privilege access for staff, plus training and background checks where permitted.
  • Secure development lifecycle, code reviews, penetration testing, and vulnerability management.
  • Disaster recovery and business continuity planning.

If we identify a breach affecting personal information, we will notify affected Customers and, where required, affected individuals and regulators without undue delay, consistent with the BAA and applicable law.

9. Data Retention

  • We retain personal information for the duration of the Subscription Term and renewal periods, plus up to 30 days after termination to support data export.
  • We retain data longer when required by law, regulation, audit obligations, or to resolve disputes (for example, pharmacovigilance record retention timelines).
  • We may store de-identified or aggregated data indefinitely, provided it cannot reasonably identify an individual or Customer.

10. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use first- and third-party cookies, pixels, and analytics tools to maintain session security, remember preferences, measure usage, and support marketing analytics for business contacts. Where legally required, we obtain consent for non-essential cookies. Users can manage cookies via browser settings or in-product controls. We honor Global Privacy Control signals by limiting analytics and advertising cookies for browsers that send the signal. We do not respond to legacy “Do Not Track” headers.

11. AI and Automated Decision-Making

  • MedDRA AI's AI features capture adverse event details, classify cases, generate narratives, and surface risk signals. Outputs are advisory; qualified personnel must review them before external use.
  • We maintain model versioning, training data provenance, validation artifacts, and override logs to support audit trails.
  • We conduct bias, accuracy, and drift assessments consistent with the NIST AI Risk Management Framework and FDA guidance for AI-enabled medical software.
  • We use de-identified or synthetic data to improve models unless a Customer authorizes broader use of identifiable information. Customers may opt out of shared model improvements, which may limit certain features.
  • We do not make solely automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects without human oversight.

12. Your Rights and Choices

Rights vary by jurisdiction. We honor requests as required and support our Customers in fulfilling their obligations when we act as a processor.

12.1 HIPAA Rights

When we process PHI as a Business Associate, individuals exercise rights (access, amendment, accounting, restrictions) through the covered entity Customer. We support Customers as required by the BAA.

12.2 GDPR and UK GDPR Rights

Subject to exceptions, EU/EEA and UK residents can request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or object to processing. They may withdraw consent and lodge complaints with their supervisory authority. Submit requests to privacy@meddra.co with “GDPR Request” in the subject. We verify identity and respond within 30 days (or the legal timeframe).

12.3 U.S. State Privacy Rights
