PERSONAL DATA WE COLLECT

When you use the Services, we collect and use your personal data to provide you with the Services and to manage our relationship with you. The legal basis for our processing of your personal data is our legitimate interest in operating and delivering the Services, cf. GDPR article 6(1)(f).

Below, we describe how we collect and use your personal data in each of the specific Services.



MyClinic

MyClinic is a telehealth care tool providing hearing care professionals with an overview of the hearing aid user’s progress in the adaptation to the hearing aid. The progress is tracked through a questionnaire that the hearing aid user is asked to fill out through the Oticon ON mobile app. MyClinic analyzes the input from the hearing aid user automatically in the cloud and generates notifications for significant events on the hearing aid user’s experience.

When you use MyClinic, we collect and register:

  • Your name and clinic name
  • Your Oticon RemoteCare account number
  • Data about how you use the MyClinic tool and the actions you take on the website

We use the above data to:

  • Create and manage your access to MyClinic
  • Establish a link between your clinic and the hearing aid user, including sending an SMS to the hearing aid user
  • Show you notifications, so you will be able to support the user during the hearing aid adaptation period
  • Analyze usage behavior and risk of the user returning the hearing instruments
  • Feature troubleshooting
  • Develop improvements of the solution and the user experience


Oticon RemoteCare Administration Portal

The Oticon RemoteCare Administration Portal is a secure website, where hearing care professionals can manage their employees’ access to Oticon RemoteCare or to MyClinic. It is a standard user administration tool, which allows administrators to add, delete, and modify existing users.

The Oticon RemoteCare Administration Portal is used by HCP Administrators to:

  • Invite their HCP colleagues who need to do remote fitting sessions with hearing aid users through Oticon RemoteCare, or to follow up on the satisfaction of new hearing aid users through MyClinic
  • Delete HCP user access
  • Reset HCP admin password

We collect your name and email address to create your Oticon RemoteCare Administration Portal account and to send invitations for the Oticon RemoteCare Administration Portal.
