What you type into a health site should stay your business.

This page is the plain-English summary of how Avanti Medico treats health information. The full privacy notice is the legal document, and it comes first if the two ever differ.

In private testing, and opening more widely once its clinical editorial and safety checks are complete.

Health information is special category data under UK data protection law. We collect the least we can.

The words you paste or photograph

When you photograph a letter, the words will be read on your device and only the text sent. The photograph will stay with you. Photographing will work on Android and on the web, and not yet on iOS. The letter reader is in private testing and is not available to the public.

You choose what to paste. You can leave out names, addresses and reference numbers; the explanation works on the words.

What we hold

Without an account

Most of Avanti Medico is planned to work with no account. A short-lived, anonymous session will remember things like your daily allowance. It will not be tied to who you are, and it will be deleted automatically.

We do not ask for your name, date of birth, NHS number or address.

With an account

An account will need one thing: an email address. There will be no password. When accounts open, we will send a secure, time-limited sign-in link instead. We will hold your email, the things you choose to save, and basic account records such as your plan. Avanti Medico will send each sign-in link by email once accounts open.

Card payments will be handled by our payment provider. Avanti Medico will never see or store your full card details.

What we will never do

  • We will never sell your data.
  • We will never share your data with advertisers or data brokers.
  • We will never build an advertising profile of you. Avanti Medico carries no advertising.
  • We will never make you create an account to read a page.
  • We will never track what you read to monitor your health over time.

Your rights, made easy to use

  • See what we hold about you.
  • Export your saved content.
  • Delete single items, or your whole account. After a short grace period a deleted account cannot be recovered.
  • Ask us to correct anything that is wrong.
  • Withdraw your consent at any time. Deleting your account does exactly that.

If you are unhappy with how we have handled your information, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office.

Who helps run Avanti Medico

A small number of providers will help us host the service, send sign-in emails and take payments. We publish the list of them openly, on the Avanti Medico app's sub-processor list. None may use your information for their own purposes.

The full detail is in the privacy notice.

Be first to know when it opens.

In private testing, and opening more widely once its clinical editorial and safety checks are complete.

Leave your email address and we will send one email when your access is ready. We ask for nothing else, because we do not need anything else.
