4. International Data Transfers (Chapter V)

As Techsocio Projects LLP is located in India and uses a server in Singapore, personal data, including sensitive health data, is transferred outside the EEA. Neither India nor Singapore currently benefits from an Adequacy Decision by the European Commission.

  • Data Exporter: Techsocio Projects LLP (India)
  • Data Importer: Godaddy (Singapore)
  • Transfer Mechanism: We ensure the transfer of personal data outside the EEA is protected by implementing the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) adopted by the European Commission. The SCCs legally bind our data processor (Godaddy) to uphold GDPR-level data protection standards.
  • Transfer Risk Assessment: We have performed a Transfer Impact Assessment (TIA) to ensure that the laws of Singapore do not prevent the Data Importer from complying with the SCCs and to implement supplementary technical measures (e.g., encryption) to protect the data from government access.

5. Security Measures (Integrity and Confidentiality)

We have implemented the following appropriate technical and organisational measures (TOMs) to protect all personal data, especially sensitive health data, against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure, or access:

Security Measure Description
Encryption at Rest All stored data, including user medical profiles, is protected using AES-256 encryption.
Encryption in Transit The entire website communication is secured using TLS 1.3 cryptographic protocols (HTTPS).
Access Control Internal administrative access is strictly limited by the "need-to-know" principle and secured with Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).
Pseudonymization Health data is linked to the user's public ID/PIN via an internal pseudonym, ensuring that the public-facing identifier is not directly linked to their core identity (name, email) in a single database field.
Data Protection by Design The system design ensures no health data is visible on the QR code itself—only a secure link requiring a positive scan/PIN entry is provided.
