Concerning laws, the majority of the countries have this aspect under control. The medical data of a patient is sensitive data and has the highest level of protection. In European countries there is a local GDPR protection; for the US it is HIPAA. So no matter if you are a clinic, gamete bank or a company like us you must obey those regulations. We’re concerned with data privacy and we are certified with ISO 27001 that assures that the data is encrypted and secured for the patient.
