What is Metadvice?

Background

With the rapid advance of healthcare technologies – such as mobile medical apps and cloud computing – and their increasing integration with social media, personal data1 protection has become of paramount importance.

The European Union has recently adopted a new regulation concerning data protection - the EU General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679, known as the General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"). As a company with EU users, Metadvice has taken certain actions and has adopted policies and procedures in order to implement the GDPR to enhance the data protection of the personal data1 of its EU users.

Steps Implementing GDPR
