Who can access my data?

With your smartphone and the SI ePA app, initially only you have access to your data.
Without your consent, no one can view your data - not even us as your private health insurance company.
Who is allowed to access your ePA and the documents it contains is up to you: you can assign permissions and determine who can view information and who can upload documents. You have the option of granting access permanently or only for a limited period of time.
Additionally, you can hide documents and document categories that are particularly private to you from authorized physicians and other health care providers.

How secure is my data?

The ePA is subject to strict legal and data protection regulations, which are set out, for example, in the Patient Data Protection Act (PDSG). It is subject to continuous certification processes. The Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) regularly checks that communication via your ePA is really secure and that your sensitive information is protected. The technical encryption procedures required for this are always adapted to the latest developments.
