What is deleted
- Your account, sign-in credentials and session tokens.
- Your profile: name, e-mail address, telephone number, professional details and profile photograph.
- Your app preferences and settings, and the push notification token for every device you signed in on.
- Usage and analytics events attributable to you, and any dictated audio still held for processing.
Deletion means deletion. We do not answer a deletion request by deactivating, disabling, suspending or freezing an account. We also instruct the processors that hold a copy of your data to delete it.
What is retained, and why
Doctopass holds medical records, and some records cannot lawfully be erased on request. This is the only limit on the deletion above.
| Retained | Why | For how long |
|---|---|---|
| Patient medical records | A clinical record belongs to the patient and to the treating practice, and the practice — not Doctopass — is its controller. Deleting a doctor’s or a secretary’s login cannot delete the patients’ records, which the practice is legally obliged to keep. Your access is removed; the record continues under the practice’s control. | Ten years from last activity, or longer where the law requires. |
| Billing and invoicing records | Commercial and tax law requires them to be kept. | As required by applicable tax law — in Tunisia, generally ten years. |
| Security and audit logs | Needed to investigate unauthorised access to health data and to meet security obligations. Reduced to the minimum that still serves that purpose. | At least one year. |
| Irreversibly anonymised data | It can no longer identify you, and so is no longer personal data. | Indefinitely. |
How long it takes
- We acknowledge your request within 72 hours.
- The account and its data are deleted from live systems within 30 days.
- Encrypted backups are fully purged within 90 days. A restored backup is re-processed for deletion.
- We confirm in writing once the deletion is complete.
Deleting your Doctopass account does not remove the app from your device, and uninstalling the app does not delete your account. The two are separate.
