Contact form submissions are reviewed internally by VirtuoMed Connect.

We do not sell personal data and we do not share enquiry contents with external business partners, investors, medical technology developers, healthcare operators, clinical partners, or other commercial counterparties unless you have requested or expressly agreed to such disclosure.

Access to contact form submissions is limited to authorised personnel within VirtuoMed Connect who need the information to review and respond to the enquiry.

These providers are not permitted to use the data for their own purposes.

Where an enquiry leads to an ongoing business discussion or relationship, relevant correspondence may be retained as part of our business records.

Basic technical data may be processed to deliver, secure, and maintain the website.

If analytics tools, embedded third-party services, or non-essential cookies are added in the future, this Privacy Policy should be updated accordingly and, where required, additional consent mechanisms should be implemented.
