Risks and data protection
The JIRcohort is an observational study. This means that we record your medical data, but there will be no change in your medical follow-up. Therefore there is no list to participate to this study.
Your identity is pseudonymized (identified by a code) by the JIR platform which means that no JIR member will have access to your identity except for your physician. The patient's name will never be published and they will never be accessible for scientific projects.
The JIR platform respects the European data protection rules (GDPR).
If you want to have all your data deleted from the JIR platform, please contact your physician.
