1. Introduction
This global Privacy Policy governs the MediMan Patient Application and the MediMan Doctor Application (together, the “Services”), available on Google Play Store and Apple App Store. We operate privacy-by-design and security-by-default to deliver compliant, reliable telehealth at scale.
We align with GDPR (EU/UK), CCPA/CPRA (California), PIPEDA (Canada), LGPD (Brazil), POPIA (South Africa), and internationally recognized healthcare privacy/security practices (HIPAA-aligned principles where applicable). Where local laws impose higher safeguards, those prevail.
2. Our Platform Role (Intermediary)
MediMan is an intermediary technology platform that connects patients and independent doctors inside our app. We do not practice medicine or make clinical decisions. Doctors provide care and may manage clinic bookings within the MediMan Doctor Application. Clinical responsibilities and decisions rest with the doctor and patient. MediMan is not an emergency service. In the event of an emergency, please contact your nearest hospital, clinic, or Doctor.
