We, lunoflo (Pty) Ltd ("lunoflo", "we", "us", "our"), are committed to protecting the privacy and personal information of our website visitors, customers, and business contacts in accordance with the Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013 ("POPIA").
This Privacy Policy applies to personal information we collect through our website, www.lunoflo.co.za (the "Website"), and in the course of our commercial dealings with you as a prospective or existing customer.
Important distinction: this policy does not cover patient data
This policy describes how lunoflo processes personal information as a Responsible Party. When our customers (allied health practices) use the lunoflo platform, they are the Responsible Party for the patient data they process. In that context, lunoflo acts solely as an Operator on their behalf, and our processing is governed by the Data Processing Addendum to our Master Subscription Agreement. Patients of our customers should refer to their respective practice's privacy policy for information on how their health data is handled.
