Rigicon’s Global Approach to Privacy
Data & AI Ethics Policy
September, 2025
Purpose
At Rigicon, we believe that trust is the foundation of healthcare innovation. This policy sets out how Rigicon approaches the responsible use of data and artificial intelligence (AI). It reflects our dedication to safeguarding individual rights while driving medical progress.
Objective
The goal of this policy is to provide clear principles for handling data and AI in ways that respect patients, healthcare professionals, and society. Rigicon aims to foster innovation without compromising privacy, fairness, or accountability.
Scope
This policy applies globally to all Rigicon employees, managers, directors, contractors, and partners. It also applies to third parties working with Rigicon systems or data.
Guiding Principles
Data Principles
- Clarity and openness: Individuals should always know what data we collect, why we collect it, and how we use it.
- Respect for privacy: Personal information must be handled with care and confidentiality at every step.
- Accuracy and reliability: Data should be relevant, up to date, and used in a way that avoids harm.
- Fair use only: Data is processed for legitimate purposes; Rigicon does not sell personal information.
- Accountability: Rigicon leaders and employees are responsible for ensuring that data practices align with ethical and legal standards.
AI Principles
- Human-first approach: AI is developed to support clinical decision-making and improve patient experiences, not to replace qualified medical judgment.
- Explainable systems: AI tools must be understandable, including their purpose, assumptions, and limitations.
- Avoiding bias: AI must be designed and monitored to reduce unfair outcomes and to promote equity.
- Oversight and control: No AI system may make binding healthcare decisions without meaningful human review.
- Safety by design: Privacy, security, and risk assessment must be embedded from the earliest stages of development.
- Responsible innovation: All AI projects must comply with Rigicon governance, relevant laws, and professional standards.
Reporting Concerns
Concerns about improper use of data or AI must be reported immediately to a manager or directly to Rigicon’s Global Data Protection Office ([email protected]). Rigicon ensures that employees who raise issues in good faith are protected against retaliation.
