4. Data Storage, Security & Retention
We recognize that information processed through the Agoo Clinic Platform may include sensitive personal, professional, financial, and health-related information. We implement reasonable measures to protect such information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

Where a breach relates to patient information entered or managed by a Clinic, we will provide the Clinic with information reasonably necessary to support the Clinic in meeting any applicable legal or regulatory obligations. The Clinic remains responsible for its own obligations relating to patient information that it controls or manages, including any notification obligations applicable to the Clinic.
Notification timelines, procedures, and regulatory requirements will be followed as required by applicable law in effect at the relevant time.

Where processing is based on consent, the relevant person may withdraw consent in accordance with applicable law. Withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal and may affect our ability, or the Clinic's ability, to provide certain services or functionality.
Where the Platform is used by a Clinic to collect, store, or manage patient information, the Clinic is responsible for obtaining and maintaining any patient consents, notices, authorizations, or other permissions required by applicable law for its processing activities. Agoo Technologies remains responsible for its own processing activities and obligations relating to operation and provision of the Platform.

The Agoo Clinic Platform may be used by Clinics and healthcare professionals to provide healthcare services to children. Where information relating to a child is entered or managed through the Platform, the Clinic and its authorized healthcare professionals are responsible for obtaining and maintaining any consent, authorization, or other safeguards required by applicable law.
We do not knowingly use children's personal information for purposes unrelated to providing, supporting, securing, or managing the Platform and related healthcare services, except where otherwise permitted or required by law.
