Legal, Privacy, and Compliance
Last updated: September 24, 2025
Here you can find COADIA's key legal, privacy, and compliance commitments for our products and services.
1. Our Role and Data Types
Who We Are
COADIA provides software and services that turn routine clinical conversations into standards ready datasets for real world evidence and clinical research in CNS and psychiatry.
Data We Process
- Clinical audio and derived transcripts with time stamps, captured with consent
- Structured features such as symptom mentions, adverse event mentions, and clinical assessments when configured by the client
- Operational metadata such as user IDs, device type, time stamps, and audit logs
Controller vs Processor
For sponsor projects and provider deployments, COADIA generally acts as a processor or business associate handling data on behalf of the client.
For our public website and marketing tools, COADIA acts as a controller of site visitor data per our Privacy Notice.
HIPAA and BAAs
If you are a covered entity or business associate in the United States, we will execute a Business Associate Agreement upon request as part of contracting.
2. Lawful Basis and Consent
Clinical Capture
We require explicit consent for recording. We provide state aware consent flows and store consent artifacts alongside each session's lineage.
Clients are responsible for using our consent modules in a manner that meets their local legal and institutional requirements.
Website and Marketing
See our Privacy Notice and Cookie Notice for site visitor data, preferences, and opt out options.
3. Data Standards and Provenance
Standards First
COADIA outputs are mapped to CDISC SDTM where applicable and use MedDRA terminology for adverse event concepts, as required or expected in sponsor workflows. FDA programs describe SDTM and ADaM as submission standards, and FAERS uses MedDRA for AE terminology.
Clip to Cell Lineage
Each derived variable links back to the source media time span and transcript token range.
We maintain a machine readable lineage manifest to support audit and reproducibility.
4. Privacy Program
Frameworks We Align To
- HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules where applicable to client projects in the United States
- US state privacy laws such as California CPRA for site visitors
- GDPR and UK GDPR when we act as controller for EU and UK visitors or when clients determine applicability
Data Subject Rights
When COADIA acts as processor, we assist clients in responding to access, correction, deletion, and restriction requests according to the contract.
When COADIA acts as controller for website data, see our Privacy Notice for submission instructions.
Retention
We retain data only as long as needed to provide the service, meet legal or contractual obligations, or as otherwise set forth in the governing agreement and our retention schedule. On expiration, we delete or return client data as directed.
