## DSGVO und Datenschutz
**Gesamteinschätzung:** Yes

**Overall assessment of hosting & data: **

Ada Health is a managed digital health and AI symptom assessment service with a consumer app and enterprise solutions for healthcare systems, insurers, clinics, and digital health platforms. Positive aspects include EU data hosting, encryption in transit and at rest, separation of identity and health data, pseudonymization, security by design, ISO 27001, ISO 13485, EU GDPR alignment, and EU MDR classification of Ada Assess. Ada also states that it does not share personal health information without explicit consent and has not sold or shared personal or health data with third parties for commercial purposes. A critical point remains that Ada processes highly sensitive health data; therefore, any enterprise integration must be carefully reviewed with regard to AVV/DPA, role model, data flows, subprocessors, consent, medical responsibility, emergency notices, and deletion concepts. 


**Conclusion: **

Ada Health is significantly better suited for European health tech, insurance, and care contexts than many US-centric symptom checkers because EU hosting, privacy architecture, and medical regulation are strongly documented. For productive healthcare integration, however, Ada should still not be used as a substitute for diagnosis, but rather as a symptom assessment, triage, and care navigation component with medical and/or organizational responsibility.

**GDPR assessment:** Ada Health is well suited from a GDPR perspective, especially compared to many other AI health tools. 


**Positive **is that Ada Health GmbH is based in Berlin and the privacy policy explicitly addresses GDPR processing, health data, consent, data subject rights, and Article 32 security measures. According to the help page, Ada stores personal data encrypted on Google Cloud Platform servers in the EU, specifically in the Europe-West1 data center in Belgium; MongoDB databases are also located there. In addition, Ada separates personal data such as name and email from health data; health data is pseudonymized and can only be linked via a key by limited Ada personnel. Also positive are EU GDPR compliance, ISO 27001, ISO 13485, and the EU MDR classification of Ada Assess as a Class IIa medical device. 


**Negative **is that Ada also uses third-country connections for certain technical service providers and subprocessors; according to the privacy policy, limited data may be processed outside the EEA if a DPA, appropriate safeguards, the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, or standard contractual clauses apply. In addition, Ada processes pseudonymized or anonymized data for statistics, research, and validation of new technological capabilities; according to Ada, however, health data and sensitive data are intended to remain in the EU. 


**Server location:** EU, specifically Google Cloud Europe-West1 in Belgium for Ada app data; according to the privacy policy, personal data is stored in the EU on AWS/Google Cloud servers, and health data and other sensitive data remain in the EU.
