Privacy And Security Overview
Overview of MBSPro’s privacy and security policy, ensuring complete data security 🔒
At MBSPro, safeguarding your privacy and data security is our top priority. We’ve meticulously integrated these principles into every aspect of the MBSPro platform. All sensitive information is processed and stored within Australia, with no data ever transferred offshore. MBSPro fully complies with the Australian Privacy Act 1988.
How MBSPro Protects Your Data
- All transcriptions are conducted in real-time on our secure servers in Sydney. This means that, during your consultation, all audio is converted into text immediately, with no permanent audio storage. By the end of your consultation, the transcription is complete, and no audio remains on our servers. No audio is ever sent offshore, nor is it accessible to any third parties.
- All Large Language Model (LLM) processing is performed on Microsoft Azure servers located in Sydney. MBSPro never uses your data for model training, and no user information is retained or accessed by Azure.
- All documents generated by MBSPro are stored on Australian servers with 256-bit encryption. By default, documents are stored for 1 day before being permanently deleted. This retention period is flexible and can be customised between 24 hours and 28 days to suit your preferences.

Medicolegal Assurance:
MBSPro abides by medicolegal standards as outlined by various Medical Indemnity Offices such as MDA National, to guarantee complete medicolegal adherence. Their knowledge ensures the safe application of AI tools during consultations, positioning MBSPro as a trustworthy asset for practitioners. For more information on their stances on Artifical Intelligence use see here.
Provided that proper consent is secured from the patient and their companions, MBSPro adheres completely to medicolegal standards. To ensure a smooth process, MBSPro reminds you to obtain consent prior to each consultation, logging that it was received along with a timestamp.
MBSPro is relied upon in countless real-world consultations every day, with more than 99.5% of patients agreeing on the initial request. Along with verbal consent, you can also obtain written consent via your practice's registration form.
To enhance transparency, we offer a customisable A4 privacy notice that you can showcase in your practice. Patients are able to scan the QR code on the printout to view comprehensive details on how MBSPro protects their data through our Data Storage and Privacy page.
