5A Clinical studies & third‑party marketing projects
When we run a clinical study, research project, or marketing campaign for a hospital, university, life‑science company, or wellness brand (“Project Sponsor”):

Controller / processor roles. The Project Sponsor is usually the data controller; Eforto acts as processor (GDPR) or business associate (HIPAA) under a Data‑Processing Agreement (DPA) or Business‑Associate Agreement (BAA).

Data ownership. You remain the owner of your identifiable data unless the ICF states otherwise. Eforto will never reuse your identifiable data outside the project scope without new consent.
-
Anonymised analytics. We may create de‑identified, aggregated statistics (e.g., average grip‑strength per cohort) for scientific publications or marketing materials; individuals are never identifiable.
-
Withdrawal. You can withdraw from the project at any time by contacting the Project Sponsor or Eforto. We will stop new data collection and, where legally allowed, delete or anonymise existing data.
