Onboarding and offboarding

End-of-contract data extraction
The data stored from our systems is usually pushed back into existing EPR. If no system exists, a copy of new data collected will be stored on the server housed at the trust; the trust always has access and control of its data. If the trust chooses not to use the app, the data would remain accessible on the trust server.
End-of-contract process
All data will be extracted from the system and provided to Trusts in JSON/XML format.

Once the trusts confirms safe receipt of data on their systems Sidqam Ltd will destroy all the data present on our servers and provide a written confirmation of the same.

Data extraction in another format other than JSON/XML will incur a cost / tbf.
