ARIA CORE Mobile Application Privacy Statement
Last updated date: October 1st, 2025
This privacy statement explains how your personal data/information (“personal data”) is processed in accordance with applicable data privacy laws in force in the jurisdiction that you are based in. It applies to the use of the mobile application, ARIA CORE Mobile (the “App”), created by Varian, a Siemens Healthineers company. The App is a solution provided by the local Siemens Healthineers entity to your jurisdiction (“Siemens Healthineers”, “we”, “us”, “our”) to healthcare providers and oncology professionals to transform latent patient data into insights and analysis. A full list of Siemens Healthineers entities providing ARIA CORE Mobile is set out at the end of this privacy statement – the entity listed in your jurisdiction will be the Siemens Healthineers for the purposes of this privacy statement.
We are committed to responsibly managing the personal data provided in connection with the use of the App, and we have prepared this privacy statement to explain our commitment to your privacy.
Who is the controller?
The App may access your personal data in order to provide the services to the medical organizations that are our customers. If you are accessing this App, you have been requested to do so by one of our customers as part of your role. For the purposes of this privacy statement we will refer to that medical organization as your “clinic”. Your clinic is our customer and when you log-in and use the App, most of the time your clinic is the data controller of your personal data and Siemens Healthineers is the data processor, processing your personal data on behalf of and on the instructions of your clinic. We recommend that you please also review your clinic’s privacy policy/statement as to its use of your personal data and contact your clinic if you have any concerns in relation to the use of your personal data.
When you log-in to the App, you will be asked to provide your consent to the collection of certain Technical Data (as defined in the ‘Categories of Personal Data Processed’ section below) about your use of the App. From time to time Siemens Healthineers may also ask you to complete feedback surveys (which are entirely optional). When processing Survey Data (as defined in the ‘Categories of Personal Data Processed’ section below) and Technical Data for its own purposes (e.g. to improve the App or to analyse the use of the App to provide insight to its customers), and in relation to the record of consent you have given, Siemens Healthineers will be a joint data controller for any personal data being processed. Siemens Healthineers will share the personal data that it processes as a data controller with Varian Medical Systems, Inc 3120 Hansen Way, M/S G100, Palo Alto, CA 94304-103, USA (“Varian Inc”) who will also be a joint data controller with Siemens Healthineers for the Technical Data and Survey Data.
Categories of Personal Data Pro
During your use of the App, the following categories of personal data, which also include special categories of personal data (known as ‘sensitive data’ in some jurisdictions), such as health data, are processed.
For patients whose data is processed in the App: Information made available by the clinic in the App, such as:
- patient information: name, demographics, date of birth, contact details, emergency contact, medical identification numbers, religion, race, ethnicity, gender, SSN, employer name, marital status;
- diagnostic and treatment information related to the patient’s current condition (including a photo to attach to their patient chart, or of anything relevant to their condition) – i.e. anything you would expect to find in your clinic’s patient chart including any documents that it contains;
- other medical conditions and medications; and
- information about the patient’s well-being.
For users of the App, including oncology professionals, physicians and other clinic staff: Siemens Healthineers processes the following personal data as a data processor:
- data you provide in connection with your use of the App, such as your name, address, phone number, email address, username, password, identify of clinic you work for, your job role, and information regarding customer support queries. Personal preferences for the configuration of the App are retained on your device and will remain on the device while the App is installed;
- whether you have passed a biometric check to allow you to access the App (please note, the App itself doesn’t process biometric data (e.g. your fingerprint), just that your device has confirmed that you have passed the biometric check);
- information regarding your treatment of the patients under your care (for example, the number of patients you are treating and information about their treatment plans) and any actions that you take in relation to the care of patients;
- your clinic’s database ID (as determined by your clinic) and a log entry of the actions requested by you within the App assigned to that database ID, including the date and time of the request. For example, at [timestamp] practitioner 1234 accessed their tasks from [date] to [date]. These logs may also make reference to patients, for example, at [timestamp] upcoming tasks for patient 5678 were viewed for the period from [date] to [date]. These logs are used for customer support/troubleshooting issues for your clinic only; and
- data collected about your device to authenticate your device when you use the App such as device information including hardware, model and operating system version, device ID, the date you first logged in to the App and the date you last accessed the App. This is used to authenticate your device with your clinic.
For users of the App, including oncology professionals, physicians and other clinic staff Siemens Healthineers and Varian Inc process the following personal data as joint data controllers:
- where you give your consent in the App for Siemens Healthineers and Varian Inc to process Technical Data for their own joint purposes as described in more detail in the ‘Purposes of Processing’ section below;
- technical data collected when you use the App such as IP address, device information including hardware, model and operating system version, usage information (log-in and log-outs), information to maintain your session, technical analysis of usage and how you have interacted with the App and content preferences and crash analysis data (“Technical Data”). You will be assigned a generated session ID which will be associated with the device that you are using for your session. Your session will end when you log-out of the App (or after 30 days, whichever is sooner) and the next time you log-in to the App a new session (with a new session ID) will commence. We won’t be able to identify you by name from the Technical Data, but it is still considered as personal data under the applicable data privacy/protection laws in some jurisdictions; and
- any feedback that you may give us if you choose to answer any of our optional user surveys (“Survey Data”). From time to time we may ask you within the App for some feedback on your experience with the App. When responding to surveys all responses related to your account will be captured under a generated ID. No names or other identifiers are recorded, but the clinic you work for is identified. We ask you please to not include any personal data (e.g. health information about yourself) in any free text fields.
When you download the App on your device, some data will automatically be transferred to the App Store you selected, e.g., your username, account number, the time of the download and your device-ID. The processing of this data is carried out by the App Store. Siemens Healthineers has no influence over this data processing.
Purposes of Processing
For patients, health data will be processed by Siemens Healthineers to deliver the services to the patient’s clinic in accordance with the contract that is in place between Siemens Healthineers and the clinic. Patient personal data will be transmitted between a user’s device and a database server designated by the clinic and that data will be collected, stored, processed, maintained, and used by the clinic. The clinic will use patient personal data for its own purposes. Please refer to the privacy policy/statement of the clinic for more information on how it processes patient personal data.
For users, your personal data will be processed by Siemens Healthineers to enable registration, to provide the App to you (including customer support), to administer and protect our business and our App including for troubleshooting, data analysis, testing, system maintenance, support, reporting and hosting of data, and to analyse and improve the App. Your personal data will be transmitted between your device and a database server designated by your clinic and that personal data will be collected, stored, processed, maintained, and used by the clinic. Please refer to the privacy policy/statement of your clinic for more information on how it processes your personal data.
Where you have given your consent, the Technical Data and Survey Data will also be processed by Siemens Healthineers and Varian Inc for their own purposes, which include to make changes, updates, or improvements to, or to optimize the performance of, the App, to understand how users use our App and its features, to otherwise inform future development, to provide statistical insights on App usage to customers or be used for general troubleshooting purposes. We will use technology to remove any personal data within the Technical Data so that you are not able to be identified from it before using it for the purposes identified above. We will however be able to distinguish between different users of the App without knowing who you are and this data may in some jurisdictions still be considered to be personal data even though it may not be directly attributable to you. As referenced above, both Siemens Healthineers and Varian Inc will be joint data controllers for that Technical Data.
We will use the Survey Data to make changes, updates, or improvements to, or to optimize the performance of, the App or to otherwise inform future development, for general troubleshooting purposes, or to work directly with your clinic to resolve any issues with the App.
We may anonymise the Technical Data and Survey Data (so that it can no longer be associated with you or be considered as personal data under applicable data privacy/protection laws) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.
Legal Basis for Processing Your Personal Data
When your clinic is the data controller of your personal data, your clinic is responsible for determining the lawful basis for processing your personal data. The same applies when Siemens Healthineers processes your personal data as a data processor. Please refer to the privacy statement provided by your clinic for information on the lawful basis under which your clinic is processing your personal data.
When Siemens Healthineers and Varian Inc process the Technical Data and Survey Data as joint data controllers, they rely on your consent as the lawful basis for processing. If you have provided your consent for the processing of your Technical Data and Survey Data, you may change your mind and log-out of the App and log back in and choose not to give consent for your next session but that will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent.
Information Shared with Outside Parties
All uses of your information for which your clinic is a data controller and we are a data processor will be determined by your clinic, more information on which will be found in your clinic’s privacy statement.
Any information that you provide to us for which we are a joint data controller will be used for our purposes only as set out in this privacy statement.
We may share your personal data with the following recipients, if and to the extent such transfer is necessary:
- Siemens Healthineers group companies, including Varian Inc (who will be a joint data controller where identified in this privacy statement) which process personal data in connection with your use of the App as described in this privacy statement or to support in fulfilling our contractual or legal obligations or internal and administrative functions such as customer service. We consider it to be in our legitimate interest to share personal data for these purposes within our group of companies and determined that, after a balancing of interests, our legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights and interests.
- Recipients such as business partners or (IT-) service providers which process personal data as part of their service provision for Siemens Healthineers (e.g., hosting or IT maintenance). These recipients have been carefully selected and are contractually obligated to process personal data in accordance with our instructions.
- Third parties (e.g., courts, law enforcement authorities and regulators, attorneys and consultants) in connection with complying with legal obligations or establishing, exercising, and defending rights or claims (e.g., regarding the unlawful use of the App or our terms of use) and in relation to corporate transactions, where we consider the transfer to be in our legitimate interests.
- Some of the parties to whom we disclose your information are located outside of the country in which you live. For example your data may be processed in the United States and India. As required by law, we take appropriate steps to ensure that such recipients of your information are bound to duties of confidentiality (See below Transfers of Personal Data section).
Transfers of Personal Data
As a global corporation, Siemens Healthineers has affiliated companies based in countries around the world. Siemens Healthineers also uses service providers and third parties which may be located all over the world. Your personal data may therefore be stored, accessed and used/otherwise processed outside of your jurisdiction. In such cases and unless permitted otherwise by applicable law, Siemens Healthineers, Varian Inc and the Siemens Healthineers group of companies only transfer personal data if appropriate and suitable safeguards for the protection of personal data are implemented.
If you are based in Europe or the UK, we ensure that the recipient has entered into the EU Standard Contractual Clauses for the transfer of personal data to third countries (with the UK Addendum if applicable) with us or that the recipient has introduced approved Binding Corporate Rules (click here if employed by a UK entity) in its organization.
Data Privacy Framwork
Certain Siemens Healthineers entities in the United States of America have certified their compliance under the EU-U.S. DPF, the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, and the Swiss-U.S. DPF regarding the transfer of personal data to the United States from the EU/EEA, the UK, and Switzerland. Additional notices applicable to residents of the EU/EEA, UK and Switzerland under this certification are available here.
Further information on the safeguards in place is available by contacting the Siemens Healthineers Data Privacy Organization (see email address under “Security” section below).
Cookies and Other Similar Technologies
Cookies are small files that are stored on your device and that save and send certain settings and data regarding your interaction with our App to us. There are also other technologies that perform functions usually performed by a cookie, such as pixels, application code or HTML local storage. These technologies also store or access information on your device. We will use the single term ‘cookies’ in this policy to refer to cookies and similar technologies.
We use different types of cookies in our App depending on their function and purpose: necessary cookies and statistics cookies. Necessary cookies enable basic functions of our App and are essential for accessing and using the App’s basic functions. Without the use of these cookies, the App cannot be used properly. When you use this App, we securely store a secure refresh token on your device to authenticate your device and grant you access to the data stored on your clinic’s network needed for you to use the App. This is a necessary cookie and is named refreshToken and stored in your device’s Async Storage. This cookie will expire after 30 days, when you logout of the App or when you uninstall the App (whichever happens first).
Statistics cookies allow an analysis of the use of the App to improve the performance of the App and its usability or to detect and correct errors. For this purpose, statistics cookies typically collect, for example, information about your device and operating system used, the average duration of your session of the App and the actions that you have taken within the App. We use a statistics style cookie (being a line of code built into the App) to collect the Technical Data and Survey Data where you have given us consent to do so. We use this data for our own purposes which include to make changes, updates, or improvements to, or to optimize the performance of, the App, to understand how users use our App and its features, to otherwise inform future development, to provide statistical insights on App usage to customers or be used for troubleshooting purposes. You may withdraw your consent at any time by logging out of the App and logging back in and choosing not to give consent for your next session but that will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. Your session will end when you log-out of the App (or after 30 days, whichever is sooner). The code used to collect this information utilizes technology from Pendo, who will collect the personal data on our behalf. View a copy of Pendo’s privacy notice.
Links to Other Websites
This privacy statement applies only to this App, and not to websites or applications offered and operated by third parties. We may provide links to other websites (such as a Siemens Healthineers corporate website or the local data protection regulator to you) which may be of interest to you. Any link to an external website or application is marked as such. Siemens Healthineers is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of external websites or applications. For information on their processing of your personal data, we encourage you to read their data privacy policies.
Security
We follow generally accepted industry standards and have implemented reasonable physical, technical and organizational security measures to protect the personal data submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. We will always keep these under review to make sure that the measures that we have implemented remain appropriate. However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, whilst we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
If you have any questions about the security of the App or about how Siemens Healthineers and Varian Inc process your personal data as joint data controllers, you can email us at dataprivacy.func@siemens-healthineers.com.
Retention of Your Personal Data
Patient personal data will no longer be processed by Siemens Healthineers in relation to the App in its role as a data processor when our contract ends with your clinic. No patient data is stored within the App itself.
When our contract ends with your clinic, information that we process about users of the App as a data processor will be deleted in accordance with the terms of our contract with your clinic.
Where we have your consent, any personal data within the Technical Data and Survey Data used by Siemens Healthineers and Varian Inc for their own purposes will be retained for up to two years from the point of creation. After that, any data that could be considered as identifying you under data protection laws will be deleted and we will continue to use the fully anonymized/de-identified data for our own purposes.
