Digistat Gateway Privacy Policy Supplement

Last updated March 4th, 2021

This is a supplement to the Privacy Statement of both your healthcare organization and Ascom. In order to understand the data collection and use practices relevant for a particular Digistat product or service, contact your healthcare organization. The healthcare organization can request access to Ascom data protection policies and documentation in addition to reading this supplement (which addresses the deployment and use of Digistat Gateway on your enterprise’s mobile devices). If you are a professional working for an organization you can contact your employer which is responsible of the privacy policy in place.
