GDPR via EEA: compliance checklist for a telemedicine & patient app
Before launch in Iceland, we work through this checklist with your team and advisers:
- Map every personal-data field to a lawful purpose under GDPR via EEA.
- Decide where data is hosted and whether data about Iceland customers must stay in-region.
- Implement consent records plus data-subject access and deletion workflows.
- Encrypt data in transit and at rest; restrict and log administrative access.
- Prepare a breach-notification procedure that meets the timelines that apply in Iceland.
- Review contracts and data-processing agreements for every third-party service.
Hosting and data residency for a telemedicine & patient app in Iceland
For clients in Iceland we usually host on Frankfurt, Ireland or another EU region to stay within GDPR transfer rules. The choice balances latency for local users, GDPR via EEA requirements on where personal data may be stored or transferred, and any sector rules your regulator sets. Backups and disaster-recovery copies follow the same residency decision.
