Patient Privacy

How can patients exercise their rights?

Each patient may, at any time, exercise its rights by contacting Owkin’s data protection officer at the following address (request must be accompanied by valid proof of identity and the name of the healthcare center where the patient has been treated):

  • By post: to the attention of the Owkin Data Protection Officer, 14-16 Boulevard Poissonnière, 75009, Paris France;
  • By email: dpo@owkin.com.

Some research projects entail the training or validation of artificial intelligence tools or the questioning of patient databases to provide scientific outputs (e.g. agentic AI, foundation models…). Patients should be informed that, once their data has been used for training, validation, or to respond to questions via an agentic AI, their ability to exercise certain data protection rights may be limited due to technical grounds. In addition, certain data collected in advance may not be deleted if such deletion is likely to make it impossible or seriously compromise the achievement of the research projects’ objectives.

Patients can find further information in the general patient information notice that can be downloaded here.
