What about my personal information?
Security, privacy and data protection are integral to the Attend Anywhere system:
-
Health-grade privacy, security, and data protection are at the forefront of the system.
-
Users enter Waiting Areas through a provided link and wait in their own private video room.
-
There is no chance of another client entering their room by mistake, and the room is deleted after the meeting.
-
Users leave no digital footprint. No client-identifiable information remains in the system after the meeting ends.
How much does a video call cost me?
The video call is free (except for internet/mobile data usage):
-
Users don’t use any data while waiting for a clinician to join them.
-
A video consultation uses less than half of the data watching a YouTube video in High Definition does - about 120 MB on a mobile device, and 230 MB on a computer for a 10-minute call.
-
Data use is less on lower-speed internet connections, or if using a less powerful computer, tablet, or Smartphone. However, these factors can also reduce the overall quality of the call.
-
Data use increases when there are more than two participants in the call.
