Specialists in LOPDP and the health sector
Our approach
Data protection applied to medical reality
In health, privacy cannot remain in generic documents. It must work in daily care: from the patient's medical history and consent, to the use of medical software, laboratories, insurers, digital channels and internal management of sensitive information.
At Tempo Legal we turn the LOPDP into clear processes, useful documents and applicable measures for your institution to protect your patients and reduce legal risks.
We help you sort:
Medical records and sensitive data.
Consents and authorizations.
Medical Providers, Labs, and Software.
Internal access, confidentiality and security protocols.
Does your health institution really comply with the LOPDP or does it only depend on medical confidentiality?
The healthcare sector processes highly sensitive data by law. This exposes clinics, laboratories and aesthetic centers to critical gaps if they do not have a comprehensive system in place.
Critical management of medical records:
Accessible clinical files, lab results, and medical diagnostics without levels of encryption or tight control.
Risk in the supply chain:
Share data with insurers, cloud medical software systems, and strategic partners without regulated processor contracts.
Internal systems and controls exposed:
Daily use of surveillance cameras, biometric controls of personnel and computer platforms vulnerable to leaks.
Unexpected audits or complaints:
Imminent demand from parent companies, allied insurers or direct sanctioning requirements from the Regulatory Authority.
Objections vs. Reality
"We already have medical confidentiality and medical history"
The reality: Professional secrecy does not cover the informational, retention, or treatment registration parameters required by the LOPDP.
"This only applies to large hospitals"
The reality: Every practice, beauty center, pharmaceutical or laboratory that processes patient data must demonstrate regulatory compliance regardless of its size.
