Before a provider processes personal health information, Calmshell should document and approve:

  • The legal entity, feature purpose, and minimum data fields.
  • Storage, processing, backup, logging, and support locations.
  • Retention, deletion, security, breach-notification, and subprocessor terms.
  • A signed data-processing agreement and, where applicable, health-data terms.
  • User-facing consent, withdrawal, incident response, and vendor-offboarding procedures.
