Data & GDPR
Built for UK private practice — data residency first
Every other AI notes tool was built for the US market and leaves you to do the compliance homework. We eliminate it. Here is exactly how your patients’ data is handled.
✓Your patient data never leaves the UK
All processing and storage happens on UK-hosted infrastructure (UK South / London region). We do not transfer personal data to the United States or rely on the EU–US Data Privacy Framework.
✓Built for UK GDPR
Betony is built to operate under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. We will complete our ICO registration before the service is used with real patient data.
✓You stay the controller; we are your processor
You remain the data controller for your patient records. We act as your data processor under a written Data Processing Agreement, available to every paying customer.
✓No training on your notes
Session content is used only to generate your note. It is never used to train AI models, and is not shared with any third party for marketing or analytics.
✓Consent without the gymnastics
Because nothing is sent overseas and notes aren't recorded as audio by default, you avoid the consent headaches that come with US tools. Standard clinical record-keeping consent is enough.
✓Right to erasure, built in
Delete a note and it's gone. Request full account deletion and we remove all associated personal data within 30 days.
This page is a plain-English summary for practitioners. Our full privacy policy and ICO registration will be published before the service is used with real patient data.
