10. AI Features
10.1 AI as an Assistive Tool
Klinivo's AI features are designed exclusively as assistive tools for licensed healthcare professionals. AI features:
- Do not provide medical advice, diagnoses, or treatment recommendations
- Do not replace the clinical judgement of a qualified healthcare professional
- Do not independently make clinical decisions
- Are not certified as medical devices under the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA)
10.2 Provider Responsibility
The Provider is solely responsible for:
- Reviewing all AI-generated content before it becomes part of the medical record
- Making all clinical decisions independently of AI suggestions
- Ensuring AI-generated documentation accurately reflects the consultation
- Correcting, editing, or discarding AI output as clinically appropriate
- Complying with GMC Good Medical Practice guidance regarding the use of technology in clinical care
10.3 AI Limitations
AI features have inherent limitations:
- AI can produce inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading output
- Transcription accuracy depends on audio quality, accents, and medical terminology
- AI-generated SOAP notes are drafts that require clinical validation
- Smart Intake collects information but does not assess clinical significance
- AI models are general-purpose and may not account for rare or atypical presentations
10.4 Consent for AI Features
AI features require explicit, informed consent:
- For Providers: Enabled through account settings with acknowledgement of limitations
- For Patients: Separate consent obtained before each AI-enabled consultation, as detailed in our AI Consent Form
Consent may be withdrawn at any time. Withdrawal disables AI features for future consultations but does not affect data lawfully processed prior to withdrawal.
10.5 Safety Features
Certain AI features operate as safety mechanisms and do not require separate consent:
- Triage/urgency detection — identifies emergency symptoms during intake
- Drug interaction alerts — flags potentially dangerous prescription interactions
These features are always active to protect patient safety.
10.6 AI Data Handling
| Data Type | Retention | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Consultation audio | 24 hours | Processing and error correction; automatically deleted |
| Transcription text | Minimum 8 years | Part of the medical record (GMC guidance) |

| AI cache | 24 hours | Performance optimisation |
| Intake summary | Minimum 8 years | Part of the medical record (GMC guidance) |
AI processing is performed via AWS Bedrock (eu-west-1, Dublin). AI model providers do not use your data for model training.
AI-Assisted Clinical Documentation
SOAP notes generated with AI assistance become part of your medical record once signed by your healthcare provider. Signed clinical records cannot be deleted (only amended) due to medical regulation requirements. The signing physician assumes clinical responsibility for all content, whether manually written or AI-assisted. Amendments to signed records are tracked with full audit trail and are subject to a 72-hour window from signing.

19. Governing Law
19.1 Applicable Law
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales.
19.2 Regulatory Framework
The Platform operates in compliance with the following UK legislation and regulatory guidance (as applicable):
| Legislation / Guidance | Scope |
|---|---|
| UK GDPR + Data Protection Act 2018 | Data protection and privacy |
| Consumer Rights Act 2015 | Consumer protections for digital content and services |
| Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 | Right of withdrawal, pre-contractual information |
| Electronic Communications Act 2000 | Electronic signatures and communications |
| Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) | Electronic marketing, cookies |
| GMC Good Medical Practice | Standards for registered medical practitioners |
| Access to Health Records Act 1990 | Patient access to health records |
19.3 Medical Record Retention
In accordance with GMC guidance and NHS Records Management Code of Practice, medical records are retained for a minimum of 8 years for adults (or until the patient's 25th birthday for children), unless a longer period is required by law or clinical necessity. The clinician or practice is the controller of the clinical record and holds this retention duty; Klinivo acts as the processor that stores the data on the controller's behalf for the duration of the contractual relationship.
19.4 Account Closure and Transfer of Custody
Closing your account does not extinguish the legal duty to retain medical records, which remains with the clinician or practice (the controller). To allow that duty to continue to be met, Klinivo applies the following offboarding flow:
- 90-day export window. From cancellation or termination, Klinivo makes a complete, structured export of all clinical records and account data available for 90 days (data portability, UK GDPR Art. 20). During this window the account is read-only and no new data is stored.
- Advance notice. We notify the account holder at the start of the window and again 30, 7, and 1 day before it closes (queries to
legal@klinivo.co). - End of active custody. After the window, Klinivo ends active operational custody and stops keeping the data in the production environment. The ongoing retention duty is exercised by the controller, who has received the full export.
- Deletion vs. archival. Data outside any legal retention period is permanently deleted. Data still under a retention obligation cannot be deleted while the obligation lasts; it is moved to low-frequency cold archive under the controller's custody, or handed over to the controller. We keep an auditable record of exactly what was deleted, archived, or retained.
- Inactive free accounts (no login for over 12 months and never on a paid plan) follow the same flow; free accounts that hold actual clinical records are never deleted — data under legal retention is preserved in cold archive and made available for export.
- Death or succession. Where the responsible clinician dies or ceases practice, the legal successor assumes the retention duty; on formal request to
legal@klinivo.cowe provide the full export and observe a minimum 60-day patient-notice period before any transfer or end of custody.

Appendix B: Frequently Asked Questions
About the Platform
Is Klinivo suitable for emergency medical care? No. Klinivo is not an emergency service. In an emergency, call 999 or go to your nearest A&E. For urgent non-emergency advice, call NHS 111.
Do I need to be registered with the GMC to use Klinivo as a doctor? Yes. All medical practitioners must hold a current licence to practise with the GMC or equivalent regulatory body. We may verify your registration.
Can patients under 18 use the platform? Yes, with a parent or legal guardian managing the account on their behalf and accepting these Terms.
Does Klinivo work for both NHS and private practice? Klinivo is designed primarily for private practice and independent clinics. NHS practices may use the Platform, but Klinivo does not integrate with NHS Spine or other NHS-specific systems.
About Payment
Is the core platform really free? Yes. Scheduling, patient EMR, manual SOAP notes, check-in, waitlist, patient portal, and one secretary account are free with no time limit and no credit card required.
Can I cancel at any time? Yes. There is no lock-in period or cancellation penalty. You retain access to your paid Plan until the end of your current billing cycle.
What currency am I billed in? All billing is in GBP (pounds sterling).
Do I get an invoice? Yes. Invoices are automatically generated by Stripe and sent to your registered email address.
What is the 14-day cooling-off period? Under UK consumer law, you have 14 days from your initial purchase to cancel and receive a full refund, subject to proportionate deductions for digital content already consumed with your prior consent.
About Privacy and Data
Where is my data stored? Data is stored in the EU (AWS eu-west-1, Dublin, Ireland). Authentication data is processed via AWS Cognito in the US under an International Data Transfer Agreement.
How long are medical records kept? In accordance with GMC guidance, medical records are retained for a minimum of 8 years for adults, or until the patient's 25th birthday for children.
Can I export my data? Yes. You can export your data at any time through the Patient Portal or Provider Dashboard in standard formats (JSON, CSV, PDF).
Who can access my health data? Only your healthcare provider, their authorised clinical staff, and you. Access is controlled by role-based permissions. Klinivo staff do not access clinical data except for technical support purposes with your consent or as required by law.
Can I request deletion of my data? You can request deletion of non-essential data at any time. Medical records must be retained for the legal minimum period but can be anonymised.
About AI
Can AI make mistakes? Yes. AI is an assistive tool with known limitations. That is why a licensed healthcare professional always reviews and approves all AI-generated content before it becomes part of the medical record.
Is my consultation audio stored? Audio is processed in real time and automatically deleted within 24 hours. Only the text transcription is retained as part of the medical record.
Is my data used to train AI models? No. Our AI providers (Anthropic via AWS Bedrock) do not use customer data for model training.
Can I have a consultation without AI? Yes. All AI features are optional. You can use the Platform entirely without AI features.
How do I know when AI is being used? Visual indicators are displayed whenever AI features are active during a consultation.
By using the Klinivo platform, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to these Terms of Service.
