1. Who we are

Vocaform is a Clinic Relief Technology platform built for physiotherapists, chiropractors, and osteopaths in private practice. Vocaform is a trading name of EF Osteopathic Clinics Ltd, Ireland.

For all privacy-related queries contact: info@vocaform.ai


2. What data we collect

From therapists:
Name, clinic name, and email address at signup. Subscription and billing information. Usage data — how you interact with the Vocaform platform.

From patients:
Responses to the Vocaform case history interview — presenting complaint, associated symptoms, past medical history, general health, and treatment goals. Age in years and sex.

Contact details — name, phone number, or email address — provided by the clinic for the purpose of delivering the interview link. This data is held by Vocaform on behalf of the clinic in our role as data processor. It is not used by Vocaform for any purpose beyond delivering the interview link, is never sold or shared with third parties, and is deleted in line with the data retention policy in section 7.


3. How we use your data

Therapist data is used for:
Managing your Vocaform account and subscription. Sending account-related communications. Improving the Vocaform platform.

Patient clinical data is used for:
Preparing the case history transcript for the therapist before the appointment. Building the clinical record within the platform. Generating the automated clinical report.

Anonymised patient data — where consent is given — may be used for:
Clinical outcomes research — tracking diagnosis, treatment approach, and resolution across anonymised cases. Product improvement — using aggregated anonymised data to improve Vocaform’s clinical libraries and features. AI model improvement — anonymised clinical data to improve the accuracy and depth of the Vocaform interview. Benchmarking reports — aggregated anonymised outcomes published as industry research. Academic or industry publication of anonymised aggregate findings. Sharing with or licensing to third parties including research institutions, healthcare organisations, and commercial partners for clinical research and product development purposes.

Anonymised data contains no name, address, email, date of birth, clinic name, or therapist name. Age in years and sex are retained for research purposes only. No combination of data points that could re-identify an individual is published or shared.

Identifiable patient and therapist data is never sold or shared with any third party for any purpose.


4. Lawful basis for processing

Clinical data: Processed under Article 9(2)(h) GDPR — processing necessary for the provision of healthcare. The clinic is the data controller. Vocaform is the data processor acting on the clinic’s behalf under a Data Processing Agreement.

Research data: Processed under explicit patient consent, obtained at the start of the Vocaform interview. Patients may opt out of research use while continuing to use Vocaform.

Therapist account data: Processed under the performance of a contract — your Vocaform subscription agreement.


5. Consent

Patient consent for research use is obtained before the appointment, on the patient’s own device, in their own time. We deliberately do not ask for research consent in the clinical setting — because consent given face to face, with a therapist present, is not truly free consent. Patients can change their research consent preference at any time by contacting info@vocaform.ai.


6. Where your data is stored

All patient and therapist data is stored on European servers. No identifiable patient data is sent to or processed through OpenAI or any external AI provider. Data is never sold or shared with third parties for commercial purposes.


7. How long we keep your data

Patient clinical data is retained for the duration of the clinic’s active Vocaform subscription, plus a period of 30 days following cancellation to allow data export. After this period all identifiable patient data is permanently deleted from Vocaform’s servers.

Anonymised research data — where consent has been given — is retained indefinitely as part of the anonymised outcomes dataset. It cannot be deleted on request because it contains no identifying information and cannot be linked back to an individual.

Therapist account data is retained for the duration of the subscription plus 30 days following cancellation.


8. Your rights

Under GDPR you have the right to:
Access the data Vocaform holds about you. Correct inaccurate data. Request deletion of your data. Withdraw consent for research use at any time. Lodge a complaint with the Data Protection Commission Ireland at dataprotection.ie.

To exercise any of these rights contact info@vocaform.ai
