Privacy Policy

Last updated: 12 May 2026

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how GreenM ("GreenM," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, shares, and protects personal data in connection with our website greenm.io and our business communications (collectively, the "Site").

GreenM is operated by [INSERT LEGAL ENTITY NAME], a company registered in [JURISDICTION] under company number [REG NO], with its registered office at [REGISTERED ADDRESS].

For the purposes of UK GDPR and EU GDPR, GreenM is the controller of personal data collected through this Site.

If you have questions about this policy, contact us at privacy@greenm.io.

2. Scope of this policy

This policy covers personal data we collect when you:

  • Visit greenm.io or interact with our marketing communications
  • Submit a contact form, demo request, or other enquiry
  • Subscribe to GreenM Brief or other newsletters
  • Book a meeting with our team
  • Apply for a job or engage with our recruitment communications
  • Engage with us as a client, prospect, partner, or supplier representative

3. Important notice for healthcare clients (PHI / patient data)

GreenM provides AI, data, and engineering services to healthcare organizations. When we process protected health information (PHI), patient records, or other clinical data on behalf of a healthcare client, we do so as a data processor (under UK/EU GDPR) and/or as a Business Associate (under HIPAA, where applicable).

The processing of such data is governed by the separate Data Processing Agreement (DPA) and/or Business Associate Agreement (BAA) we sign with the relevant client — not by this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy applies only to personal data we collect as a controller through our Site and direct business interactions.

If you are a patient and have questions about how your data has been used in a system built or operated by GreenM, please contact the healthcare provider that holds the relationship with you. They are the controller of that data; we cannot identify you or respond to data subject requests without their involvement.
