This Privacy Policy regarding the processing of personal data by VivianLab aims to help you understand what personal data we collect, why we collect it, and what we do with it. Please take time to read this Privacy Policy carefully. We want you to be clear about how we use your information and the ways you can exercise your rights.
Territorial Scope. This Privacy Policy is designed to comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable data protection laws in Greece and the European Economic Area (EEA). Our Platform and Services are intended primarily for users located within the EEA. If you choose to access or use the Platform from a country outside the EEA, you do so on your own initiative and you are solely responsible for ensuring that such access and use complies with the laws of your country of residence. VivianLab does not represent or warrant that its Services or this Privacy Policy meet the requirements of any non-EEA jurisdiction.
To the extent that the laws of your country impose stricter obligations than this Privacy Policy, your local laws shall apply only to your use of the Platform, but VivianLab’s processing of personal data remains governed exclusively by GDPR.
This Privacy Policy applies to your personal data when you visit and use our web Platform www.vivianlab.com (the “Platform” or “the Platform”) or use our services available on the Platform, and/or use our mobile/technological applications (Apps). It does not apply to other applications/sites/e-shops and/or services that we do not own or control.

Our Role – Data Controller and Data Processor:
Depending on the situation, “VIVIAN LAB” Ltd. acts in a different capacity according to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):
- We are the Data Controller when you register an account on the Platform, subscribe to our newsletter, or use our services for your own purpose (such as the AI Assistant). In this case, we determine the purposes and means of processing your personal data.
- We are the Data Processor when you use our Platform to interact or receive services from third parties (e.g., “Specialists”). In this context, the “Specialist” is the Controller of your data, and we process it on their behalf and upon their instruction, pursuant to a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) concluded between us and the Specialist.
2. Contact Details for Privacy Matters
For questions related to this Policy or the processing of your personal data, you can contact us at info@vivianlab.com or directly with our Data Protection Officer (DPO) at experience@vivianlab.com.
Since the protection of personal data is extremely important to our Company, this document defines the obligations, the manner of use, communication, and protection of the data we receive, as well as how we can resolve any kind of issue through communication between us.
2.1 Definitions
Data Protection Legislation means any law relating to the processing of personal data, privacy and security, including, without limitation, Regulation (EU) 2016/679 “for the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and for the free circulation of such data and the repeal of Directive 95/46/EC (General Data Protection Regulation)” (“GDPR”), Directive 2002/58/EC “on the protection of privacy in electronic communications”, as incorporated, valid and applied in the Greek legal order and as amended from time to time, or other applicable or replacing the above international or national laws or rules concerning the protection of personal data, as well as relevant regulations, instructions or guidelines of competent administrative authorities, such as the Greek Personal Data Protection Authority.
“Controller”, “processor”, “data subject”, “personal data” and “processing” shall have the meaning assigned to them in the applicable Data Protection Legislation.
“Personal Data” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (“Data Subject”). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as:
- Name, email address, phone number
- Identification number
- Location data (e.g., country or city)
- Online identifier (such as IP address, cookie ID)
- Payment information (e.g., transaction data)
- Or one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.
“Specific Categories of Personal Data” (also known as “sensitive data”) are a subset of Personal Data that reveal information such as racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, biometric data (for the purpose of uniquely identifying a person), and health data (such as records of symptoms, menopause stage, or data from wearable devices). We process this data only in compliance with stricter rules, usually based on your explicit consent.
Services: Those mentioned on our Platform and offered for use.
Websites: “www.vivianlab.com” is the website of our Company. The Company maintains an electronic Platform that serves as an online professional directory, connecting end-users (“Users”) with specialists from the health sector (“Specialists”), such as doctors and health experts, with the aim of providing consultations, advice, and support on health issues. In addition, the Platform offers innovative digital services, including, but not limited to, an AI Assistant (AI tracker) for tracking health symptoms and mood, providing personalized AI-assisted guidance, and functionalities for managing appointments (including through third-party integrations). The Platform may also facilitate the submission of orders from collaborating stores of health interest and transfer these orders through a network of independent distributors.
Processing of Personal Data is any act or series of acts carried out with or without the use of automated means, on personal data or sets of personal data, such as the collection, registration, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, search of information, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or any other form of disposal, association or combination, limitation, deletion or destruction.
Use of the Platform by minors. Our Platform and Services are intended for adults and are not directed to children under 16 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 16. If we become aware that we have collected personal data from a child under 16 without appropriate parental consent, we will take steps to delete this information. If you believe that a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us at info@vivianlab.com.
No automated decisions with legal or similarly significant effects. We do not use your personal data to make decisions based solely on automated processing (including profiling) which produce legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affect you within the meaning of Article 22 GDPR. Our AI Assistant provides general wellness information and suggestions only and does not make binding decisions about your access to services, insurance coverage, employment, credit, or similar matters.
3. Purpose of Processing and Duration
We process your personal data for the purpose of providing the offered Services described on our Platform. Our role in the processing of your data depends on the specific situation and the Service you are using:
- When we act as a Data Controller: For activities such as managing your user account, sending marketing communications (newsletter), or providing our AI Assistant (AI Tracker), we act as a Data Controller. In these cases, we independently determine the purposes and legal bases (such as performance of a contract, your consent, or legitimate interest) for the processing.
- When we act as a Data Processor: When you use the Platform to interact with or receive services from third parties (e.g., “Specialists”), that “Specialist” (who provides you with the consultation) generally acts as the Data Controller for the data related to that service. In this situation, the Company acts as a Data Processor, collecting and processing your data (e.g., appointment data, notes) solely on behalf and upon the explicit instruction of the respective “Specialist” (the Controller). In this case, the responsibility for determining the legal basis (such as your consent for the processing of health data) lies with the Controller (i.e., the “Specialist”).
We will use Personal Data only when strictly necessary to fulfill our obligations, in accordance with the General Terms and Conditions and applicable legislation.
The processing activities will continue for the period of time necessary to provide the Services and to comply with our legal obligations, as detailed in Section 14 (“How long do we store your data?”) of this Policy.
Regardless of our role (Controller or Processor), we treat all Personal Data as Confidential Protected Information and apply strict technical and organizational measures for its protection.
4. Is it mandatory to provide your Personal Data?
Providing the Data to the Company may be necessary to achieve the purposes specified in this Privacy Policy or may be optional.
The mandatory or optional nature of the provision of Data is indicated by an asterisk (*) next to mandatory personal data.
If you refuse to provide the information marked as mandatory on the Platform, it will be impossible to achieve the main purpose for which the specific Data is collected, and it may, for example, make it impossible for the Company to fulfill the transportation service or provide other services available on its Websites.
The provision of additional Data to the Company, beyond those marked as mandatory, is optional and has no consequences regarding the main purposes of Data collection, since its provision serves exclusively to optimize the quality of the services provided by us.

9. Who are the recipients of your Data?
Access to your Data is given to the absolutely necessary personnel of the Company, who are bound by confidentiality, and to companies cooperating with us or third-party service providers, who process your Data as Processors on our behalf and in accordance with our instructions.
10. How is your Data shared?
10.1 Third-Party Service Providers (Data Processors)
These are companies that process personal data on our behalf and upon our instructions. We enter into contracts (DPAs) with them that oblige them to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data. They include:
- Hosting and Cloud Infrastructure Providers: Companies that provide server space and infrastructure for the operation of the Platform (e.g., AWS, Render).
- AI Service Providers: For our AI Assistant (AI Tracker) to function, we transfer data (including health data, only after your explicit consent) to our technology partner Anthropic (Claude AI), which is based in the USA.
- Payment Service Providers (PSPs): For processing credit cards and payments. We do not store your card data; they are processed directly by these providers, who are PCI DSS certified.
- Analytics Service Providers: To understand how our Platform is used, we share data (e.g., via cookies) with partners such as Google Analytics.
- Marketing and Communication Service Providers: For the distribution of emails (newsletter), surveys, and analyses.
10.2 “Specialists” (in their role as Controllers)
When you, as a “User,” initiate contact or book a service with a “Specialist” through the Platform, we share the necessary data (such as name, email, appointment data, and possibly health data entered by you) with that “Specialist.” In this situation, the “Specialist” acts as an independent Controller of your data, and we act as a Processor on their behalf to facilitate the service.
10.3 Other Third Parties (with your consent or upon your initiative)
These are third parties to whom you have consented to share data yourself. Example: When you explicitly consent to link your Google Calendar for appointment management.
10.4 Government Authorities and Legal Obligations
We share data with other third parties to the extent required for the following purposes:
- (i) Compliance at the request of a competent government authority of Greece, a court order, or applicable law.
- (ii) Prevention of illegal uses of our Platform or violations of our Terms of Use and policies.
- (iii) Our own protection against third-party claims.
- (iv) Contribution to the prevention or investigation of fraud cases.
10.5 Sharing of Data by You
When you use certain social media features on our Platform, you may create a public profile that includes information such as your username, profile picture, and city. You may also share content with your friends or the general public, including information about your interaction with the Company. We encourage you to use the tools we provide for managing sharing on the Company's social media to control the information you provide.
11. What is the policy we apply with third-party Processors?
Those performing the processing on our behalf have agreed and contractually committed to the Company to:
- Maintain confidentiality.
- Not send your Data to third parties without the Company's permission.
- Take appropriate security measures.
- Comply with the legal framework for the protection of personal data and in particular the GDPR.
To improve your customer experience on our Sites and Apps, we use the above service providers who will process your Personal Data as part of their contracts with us. If you wish to receive more information about sharing your Data with third parties, please contact us by email at info@vivianlab.com.
12. How do we ensure that Processors respect your Data?
Those performing the processing on our behalf have agreed and contractually committed to the Company:
- To maintain confidentiality.
- Not to send your Data to third parties without the Company's permission.
- To take appropriate security measures.
- To comply with the legal framework for personal data protection and in particular the GDPR.
13. Data Transfer
The personal data we collect (or process) in the context of our Platform will be stored primarily within the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA), for example on our main servers hosted in Germany.
However, to provide certain Services and functionalities, some of the Data recipients with whom the Company shares your Personal Data may be located in countries outside the EEA (“third countries”). This notably includes:
- a) Hosting and Cloud Infrastructure Provider: To the extent that VivianLab LTD utilizes Amazon Web Services, Inc. (“AWS”) as a hosting and cloud infrastructure provider for the processing of your personal data, AWS acts as a Data Processor on behalf of the Company in accordance with the GDPR. The relationship between the Company and AWS is governed by the AWS Data Processing Addendum (“AWS DPA”), incorporated into the AWS Service Terms and available at the AWS website. Where AWS services involve the transfer of your personal data from the EEA to countries outside the EEA (including the USA), the Company ensures appropriate safeguards in accordance with Article 46 GDPR, particularly through the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs).
- b) AI Service Providers: For our AI Assistant (AI Tracker) to function, we transfer data to our technology partner Anthropic (Claude AI), which is based in the United States of America (USA).
- c) Analytics Service Providers: For the purposes of web analysis, we use services such as Google Analytics, which may involve transferring data to the USA.
Legislation in these countries (such as the USA) may not provide the same level of data protection compared to the EEA. We are committed to protecting your Personal Data and take all necessary measures to comply with the applicable legal requirements for such transfers. To ensure that your Personal Data is adequately protected, we primarily rely on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission.
Specifically for the transfer of your special categories (health) data to our AI partners in the USA, in addition to the Standard Contractual Clauses, we will also rely on your explicit and separate consent for such transfer, requested before you use the AI Assistant service.
14. How long do we keep your Data?
We store your Personal Data for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy (unless a longer retention period is required by applicable law).
Generally, this means we will store your Personal Data related to your account for as long as you have an active account with our Company.
Regarding your Personal Data related to the services we offer (e.g., transaction data), we store this data for a longer period to comply with our legal obligations (such as tax and commercial law).
At the end of this retention period, your data will be completely deleted or anonymized, for example by aggregating it with other data, so that it can be used in an unidentified manner for statistical analysis and business planning.
Some examples of retention periods:
- Account and Services Data (Client Register): We store your basic account data while it is active. Data related to transactions and performance of services is stored for five (5) years after termination of the contractual relationship.
- Newsletter Data (Marketing Register): Your consent and data for sending the newsletter (name, email) are stored until you withdraw your consent.
- AI Assistant Data (AI Tracker Register): Due to the sensitive nature of this data, we apply the following time limits: actively processed while you use the feature; if you become inactive, we may retain the data for a limited period (e.g., 18 months after your last activity). Upon explicit closure of your profile or upon your request for deletion, your personal health data from the AI Assistant will be permanently deleted.
15. Is your data secure?
VivianLab is committed to safeguarding your Personal Data using industry-leading security measures. We recognize the importance of protecting your information, particularly sensitive health data, and have implemented comprehensive technical and organizational safeguards throughout the entire data lifecycle.
15.1 Technical security measures
(a) Encryption in transit
All data transmitted between your device (web browser or mobile application) and our servers is secured using HTTPS with Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.2 or higher. This encryption protocol prevents interception, eavesdropping, or tampering with your data during transmission over the internet.
(b) Encryption at rest
Personal data stored in our databases and storage systems is protected using AES-256 encryption. This ensures that your data remains secure even in the unlikely event of physical infrastructure compromise.
(c) Password security
Your account password is never stored in plain text. We use strong, one-way cryptographic hashing algorithms with salting (bcrypt or equivalent) to protect your login credentials. Not even our system administrators can view your actual password. Each password is hashed with a unique random salt, and only you know your password.
15.2 Payment security
VivianLab’s payment infrastructure is designed to never store, transmit, or process raw cardholder data on our servers. All payment processing is delegated to Stripe, a globally trusted payment provider certified as a PCI DSS Level 1 Service Provider.
When you enter your payment details, this information is transmitted directly from your browser to Stripe’s servers over TLS-encrypted connections, completely bypassing VivianLab’s backend. Stripe tokenizes your card data; VivianLab only stores a token, not your actual card details.
15.3 Infrastructure and platform security
Our Platform is built on secure marketplace infrastructure (such as Sharetribe), with encryption in transit (TLS 1.2+) and encryption at rest (AES-256). Our infrastructure is hosted on secure cloud providers (e.g., AWS, Azure) that maintain ISO 27001, SOC 2, and similar certifications. Physical security, network security, and redundancy are handled by these providers.
15.4 Organisational security measures
- Role-based access control (RBAC)
- Principle of least privilege
- Audit logs and monitoring
- Limited-access operational environments
- Confidentiality obligations for staff and contractors
- Regular security and GDPR training
- Incident response and business continuity plans
