Privacy Policy

PlastSurgeon is an educational platform for plastic, breast and reconstructive surgery. This policy explains what personal data we process and your rights under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Data we process

• Account data: name, email, and optionally your title, institution and country.
• Learning data: course enrolments, lesson progress and quiz attempts.
• Submitted content: surgical cases you choose to upload.
• Technical data: limited security/audit logs (e.g. IP address for significant actions).

Why and on what basis

We process this data to provide the learning platform and membership (contract), to keep the service secure (legitimate interest), and where required by law. Authentication can be provided by our shared sign-in, Plast ID.

Clinical content & consent

Case material may include clinical information and images. Authors confirm that appropriate patient consent has been obtained before uploading. Do not submit identifiable patient data without valid consent.

Your rights

You can, at any time:

• Access & portability: download all your data from your account page.
• Rectification: edit your profile on the account page.
• Erasure: delete your account; enrolments, progress and quiz history are erased and submitted cases are anonymised.

Retention

We keep account and learning data while your account is active. Audit logs are kept for a limited period for security and compliance. Backups are encrypted and rotated.
