About Esperity
What does Esperity do?
Esperity builds digital health solutions that support patients and the organisations around them: a patient companion platform, coaching, clinical trial search and matching, and branded patient portals for patient organisations, hospitals, pharma and research teams.
Who uses Esperity?
Patients and their relatives, patient organisations, hospitals and clinics, healthcare professionals, pharmaceutical companies and research teams.
Is Esperity a medical service or a replacement for my doctor?
No. Esperity supports you in following and organising your health journey. It does not provide diagnosis or treatment and never replaces advice from your own healthcare professional.
In which languages is Esperity available?
Our website and solutions are available in English, Spanish, French and Dutch, and additional languages can be added for partner projects.
Data protection & privacy
Who owns the data I enter?
You do. Your health information remains yours. Esperity processes it to deliver the service you asked for, and you can request access, correction or deletion at any time.
Do you sell personal data or share it with advertisers?
Never. We do not sell personal data and we do not share identifiable information with advertisers.
How is my data protected?
Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, access is restricted on a strict need-to-know basis with individual accounts and role-based permissions, and all access is logged and monitored.
Where is the data stored?
Personal data is hosted on servers located in the European Union, with contractual safeguards for any supplier we rely on.
Can research partners see who I am?
No. When insights are shared with partners such as patient organisations or research teams, they are aggregated or anonymised so that individuals cannot be identified.
GDPR & compliance
Is Esperity GDPR compliant?
Yes. Esperity is a Belgian company and processes personal data in line with the EU General Data Protection Regulation, applying privacy by design, data minimisation and defined retention periods.
What are my rights under the GDPR?
You can access your data, correct it, have it deleted, restrict or object to processing, withdraw consent and request a copy in a portable format. Write to dpo@esperity.com and we will handle your request within the legal timeframe.
Do you have a Data Protection Officer?
Yes. Our Data Protection Officer can be reached at dpo@esperity.com for any question about how your data is handled.
What is the legal basis for processing my health data?
Health data is processed on the basis of your explicit consent, or on another legal basis agreed with the organisation that offers you the service. Consent can be withdrawn at any time.
How do you handle cookies and analytics?
Analytics only start after you accept them in the cookie banner, we use privacy-friendly settings, and you can change your choice whenever you want.
Reliability & support
How stable are your systems?
Our platforms run on managed European cloud infrastructure with redundancy, continuous monitoring, automated backups and a tested recovery procedure.
What happens in case of an incident or a data breach?
We have an incident response procedure. Affected users and, where required, the supervisory authority are informed within the legal deadlines, together with the measures taken.
Do you work with hospitals and pharma on secure integrations?
Yes. We set up projects with clear data processing agreements, defined roles and security reviews before any integration goes live.
