PRIVACY POLICY AND TELEMEDICINE POLICIES OF CDOCTORSTEAMS
Version 3.0 — September 2026 · Published on September 27, 2026
This is a reference translation of the Spanish original. In case of any discrepancy, the Spanish version prevails.
PART I — PRIVACY POLICY
1. Controllers of personal data processing
CDoctorsTeams is a health social network that connects Professionals, Suppliers and the general public — it does not provide health services. This Policy governs the processing of the personal data of those who use the Platform, not the medical care that Professionals provide independently.
(In data protection law, "processing" means the handling of personal data: collecting, storing, using or sharing it. It has nothing to do with medical treatment, which is the sole responsibility of each Professional.)
The controller is CDoctorsTeams LLC (Florida, U.S.). In the countries where there is a Local Entity of the CDoctorsTeams group, that entity is a joint controller of the processing of the data of the Users in its country, pursuant to the agreement entered into between both. Users may exercise their rights before either of them.
Privacy contact: support@cdoctorsteams.com · WhatsApp +1 (813) 338-5011
We process personal data in accordance with the applicable laws in each country where we operate, including HIPAA (U.S., when the Clinical Features are active), PIPEDA and provincial laws (Canada), the Ley Federal de Protección de Datos Personales en Posesión de los Particulares of 2025 (Mexico), Ley 1581/2012 (Colombia), Ley 29733 (Peru), Ley 19.628 and —from its entry into force— Ley 21.719 (Chile), Ley 25.326 (Argentina), the LGPD (Brazil), the applicable laws in Bolivia and El Salvador, Ley 18.331 (Uruguay), Ley 81 de 2019 (Panama), Ley 8968 (Costa Rica), Ley 7.593/2025 —once in force— (Paraguay), and the RGPD (GDPR) (Spain/EU).
2. Data we collect
Identification and contact: name, email, telephone number, country, date of birth (to verify legal age).
Account and professional profile: résumé, credentials, licenses, photograph (Professionals and Suppliers).
Health data (only when using the Clinical Features):
- The reason for consultation that the Patient indicates when booking.
- The clinical information that the Patient chooses to provide —personal and family history, medication, vaccines, allergies—. All of these fields are optional: the Patient decides what to share.
- The Professional's consultation notes and the clinical record (EMR).
- The consultation chat.
- With express consent and on a per-consultation basis, the audio transcription and the AI-generated draft note.
- The health data of a minor are provided by their Responsible Adult and are recorded under the latter's account.
Scheduling and logistics data: consultation modality and, for home visit consultations, the address indicated by the Patient, which is shared with the assigned Professional solely for the purpose of providing care.
Payment data: for card payments, the data are processed by our payment gateway; CDoctorsTeams does not store full card numbers. For memberships, we keep the billing history. For External Payments (cash and transfer) we do not process the transaction, because it takes place outside the Platform; we only record the chosen method, the selected transfer means and the status declared by the parties. To receive transfers, the Professional stores in their profile their payout details (alias, account number, key or associated mobile number), which are only displayed to the Patient of an accepted appointment, never on the public profile or in notifications, and access to which is logged.
AI assistant: the conversations that the User voluntarily holds with the AI assistant and their consumption of AI Credits. These conversations may include health information if the User chooses to write it.
Purchases: history of purchases of AI Credits and Diamond Packages (date, amount, method and status). For Diamond Packages paid by transfer or in cash, we only record the chosen method and the status declared by the parties.
Technical and usage data: IP, device, cookies, access logs.
Communications: messages and files exchanged on the Platform.
The Platform does not manage prescriptions, and therefore does not collect prescription data.
3. Purposes and legal bases
We process data to: provide and improve the Platform; manage registrations, memberships, scheduling, payments and consultations; verify identities and credentials; comply with legal, accounting and tax obligations; ensure security; and communicate with you.
The legal bases include performance of the contract, compliance with legal obligations, legitimate interest (security and service improvement) and express consent for health data and for the AI features, as required by each jurisdiction. The AI assistant is used voluntarily; by using it, the User consents to the processing of their conversations in order to respond to them.
4. Security
We apply:
- Encryption in transit (TLS 1.2 or higher) and at rest (AES-256).
- Role-based access control under the principle of least privilege: only the treating Professional and the Patient access the consultation data, unless legally required.
- Audit logs of access to clinical data.
- Notifications without clinical content: the notifications we send to your phone do not include the reason for consultation or health information, to prevent them from being visible on the lock screen. Details are only displayed within the application, after authentication.
- Access keys to third-party services managed exclusively on servers, never in client applications.
We are working to progressively align our measures with recognized standards (such as SOC 2 and ISO 27001) and will communicate certifications as they are obtained.
5. International transfers
The main infrastructure is hosted on servers located in the United States, so your data may be transferred there and to the countries where our Local Entities and providers operate. Where the law of your country requires safeguards for international transfers (RGPD (GDPR), LGPD, Ley 21.719, among others), we apply the permitted mechanisms —standard contractual clauses, informed consent or others— and inform you thereof when collecting your data.
6. Retention and preservation of clinical records
Account data are retained while the account is active and for the subsequent legal periods. Clinical records (EMR) are not deleted upon request while the legal retention period for medical records of the Patient's country is running, because Professionals are legally required to retain them. Indicative minimum periods (to be validated with local counsel):
| Country | Indicative minimum period |
|---|---|
| U.S. (Florida) | 5 years |
| Canada | ~10 years (varies by province) |
| Mexico | 5 years (NOM-004-SSA3-2012) |
| Colombia | 15 years (Resolución 839 de 2017) |
| Peru | 15 years |
| Chile | 15 years (D.S. 41/2012, clinical file) |
| Argentina | 10 years (Ley 26.529) |
| Brazil | 20 years (Ley 13.787/2018) |
| Bolivia | 10 years (indicative, no specific legal period — to be validated) |
| Spain | 5 years minimum (Ley 41/2002) |
Upon closure of an account, the EMRs are archived with restricted access until the legal period is fulfilled and are then securely deleted. The Patient retains the right to obtain a copy of their record.
7. Data subject rights
Depending on the applicable law, you may request access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability and objection, as well as withdraw your consent. The Platform allows you to download your data, rectify the data you provided and delete your account from your profile.
Exception: erasure does not apply to clinical records within the legal retention period (clause 6); in that case, the record remains archived with restricted access. Notes written by the Professional are not editable by the Patient; the Patient may request a clarification from the Professional.
To exercise your rights: support@cdoctorsteams.com. You may also file a complaint with the data protection authority of your country.
8. Security breach notification
We have an internal incident management procedure that includes containment, assessment, internal logging and notification to the competent authority and to affected individuals when required by law, within the applicable deadlines: 72 hours under the RGPD (GDPR) (Spain), LGPD (Brazil) and Ley 21.719 (Chile, from its entry into force); without unreasonable delay and no later than 60 days under HIPAA (U.S., when the Clinical Features are active); and the deadlines of the other local laws.
9. Subprocessors
We share data only with providers necessary to operate, under contract:
| Provider | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Supabase | Database and authentication infrastructure |
| Agora | Video and voice for online consultations |
| AssemblyAI | Medical audio transcription — only with your consent, per consultation |
| Anthropic | (a) AI Scribe clinical note drafts — only with your consent, for each consultation; (b) AI assistant responses — when the User chooses to use it |
| Stripe | Card payment processing (memberships and consultations paid on the Platform) |
In the countries where local payment methods are enabled, the corresponding provider will be disclosed in this policy and on the payment receipt. Where the jurisdiction so requires (for example, HIPAA in the U.S.), such processing will operate under the corresponding BAA/DPA agreements before the Clinical Features are activated in that country.
11. Minors
The Platform is not directed to persons under 18 years of age and we do not collect data directly from them. The health data of a minor are only processed when their Responsible Adult provides them to manage a consultation, with the latter's consent and in accordance with the T&C.
PART II — TELEMEDICINE AND CONSULTATION POLICIES
1. Scope
Where the Clinical Features are enabled, the Platform allows booking four modalities: 24-hour consultation, scheduled online consultation, in-office consultation and home visit consultation. They are enabled on a country-by-country basis; the list of active countries is published on the Platform.
The Platform does not issue or manage prescriptions of any kind.
Limitations: telemedicine does not replace in-person care in emergencies, urgent situations or when a physical examination is required. In case of emergency, contact local emergency services (911 in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Ecuador, El Salvador, Panama, Costa Rica, Paraguay and Uruguay; 123 in Colombia; 106/116 in Peru; 131 in Chile; 107 in Argentina; 192 in Brazil; 112 in Spain) and do not rely on the Platform.
2. Informed consent
Before each consultation, the Patient —or the Responsible Adult, if it is for a minor— grants their electronic informed consent, which explains the purpose of the consultation, the benefits and limitations of the chosen modality and the in-person alternatives. It is recorded and may be revoked at any time.
3. Recording and AI assistance
3.1. The transcription of the consultation and the AI draft note are optional and require the Patient's express consent for each consultation. Without such consent, the consultation is conducted without recording or transcription.
3.2. The AI-generated draft is always reviewed and edited by the Professional before being saved to the EMR. The AI does not diagnose or make decisions.
4. Requirements for Professionals
- Be duly licensed or registered in the jurisdiction where they provide care. In the U.S., the Professional must be licensed in the state where the Patient is located.
- Keep their credentials current and uploaded to the Platform.
- Comply with the ethical codes of their profession and local laws.
- Have an adequate connection and equipment for the online modalities.
- Not provide personalized clinical advice in public spaces of the Platform.
5. Requirements for Patients
- Be over 18 years of age (minors, only through a Responsible Adult).
- Provide truthful information. The clinical information fields are optional: the Patient decides what to share, understanding that more information allows for better guidance.
- For online consultations: a compatible device, a stable connection (5 Mbps or more is recommended) and a private location.
6. In-person and home visit consultations
In the in-office and home visit modalities, the Platform serves a scheduling and contact function. CDoctorsTeams does not participate in travel, does not supervise the place of care and is not liable for the safety of persons during the consultation. The address that the Patient indicates for a home visit consultation is shared only with the assigned Professional and solely for the purpose of providing care.
7. Process and payment
Appointments are booked on the Platform by indicating the reason for consultation, the modality and the payment method available for the Patient's country and that modality. The clinical data generated are stored in the EMR with the measures of Part I (clause 4) and the periods of Part I (clause 6). The payment and cancellation regime is governed by the T&C (clauses 9 and 10); in External Payments, the Platform does not intervene in the transaction.
8. Responsibilities
CDoctorsTeams acts as a technology intermediary: it does not provide health services or guarantee uninterrupted availability. Professionals are responsible for the quality, suitability and legality of their services, and for indicating to the Patient when the chosen modality is not appropriate for their case. Patients are responsible for following the recommendations and seeking in-person care when so instructed.
PART III — REGULATORY ANNEX BY COUNTRY
Frameworks applicable in the planned countries of operation. CDoctorsTeams activates the Clinical Features in each country once the corresponding requirements have been met.
United States
- HIPAA/HITECH: when operating Clinical Features, CDoctorsTeams acts as a Business Associate of the Professionals and Clinics: it will enter into BAAs with them and will maintain BAAs with its subprocessors. The Clinical Features will only be activated in the U.S. once the BAA chain is complete.
- Telemedicine: state laws (in Florida, F.S. 456.47). The Professional must be licensed in the Patient's state.
