Information for health professionals
This notice explains, under Article 14 of the EU General Data Protection Regulation, how VITALINK uses information about health professionals who appear in its directory, and how to correct or remove a profile.
Who we are
Atenea Labs OÜ, registry code 16668881, VAT EE102677991, Sakala tn 7-2, Kesklinna linnaosa, 10141 Tallinn, Harju maakond, Estonia is the controller of the VITALINK directory. Our wholly owned subsidiary Brida AI operates the platform on our behalf. Contact: [email protected].
What we publish about you
- Your display name, professions, specialties and services.
- The city or region where you practise.
- Whether your registration was verified, and the type of authority that issues it (for example “national health professional registry”).
- Prices shown on your public listing, with the date we checked them.
- Whether online booking is available on your listing.
- The dates the information was last checked, and a VITALINK profile identifier.
What we do not publish
Your phone numbers, email addresses, websites, street addresses, licence or registration numbers, photos, and patient reviews or ratings.
Why, and on what basis
To help people find a health professional by profession, specialty and place, including through VITALINK for ChatGPT. We rely on our legitimate interest, and that of people looking for care, in a directory of professional facts (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)). You can ask us for a summary of our balancing test.
Where the information comes from
Official professional registers and public professional listings.
Register attributions
- France — registration data from the national register of health professionals (Répertoire partagé des professionnels de santé), published by the Agence du Numérique en Santé under the Licence Ouverte 2.0 (Etalab). Data last updated 30 September 2026. VITALINK normalises professions, specialties and places; the register does not endorse VITALINK.
- United States — provider data from the federal public registry of health care providers, published by the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Data last updated 30 September 2026. The registry does not endorse VITALINK.
Who receives it
The public, through VITALINK. Our service providers (hosting in the EU, network and security services, email) process it on our behalf. We do not sell your data, rank professionals by payment, show ads or rate professionals.
How long
For as long as you appear in a current source and have not objected. Profiles no longer confirmed by a source are removed at the next update.
Your rights
You can ask us for a copy of your data, to correct it, to delete your profile, to stop showing it (objection), or to restrict its use while we check a dispute.
How to correct or remove your profile
Email [email protected] with your name, the city and specialty shown (or your profile identifier) and what you want changed or removed. We may ask for proof that you are the professional, for example a message from the email on your listing or a document showing your name and registration; we delete that proof when we close your request. We reply and act within one month.
Staying removed
If you object or ask for deletion, we add your VITALINK identifier to a suppression list so your profile does not reappear when we update the directory. We keep only that minimum, and only for this purpose.
Complaints
You can complain to the Estonian Data Protection Inspectorate (Andmekaitse Inspektsioon, www.aki.ee) or to the supervisory authority where you live or work.
