Data & security
How this tool handles data.
No patient identifiable information is collected. Patient reference fields are pseudonymised.
Every record is scoped to an organisation and project via row-level security; data never crosses organisations.
Audit submissions are versioned against the tool version used to capture them.
Authentication and entitlements are enforced by the main Lazomis QI website — this tool does not maintain its own sign-in.
