These terms of service (the “Terms of service”) govern your use of the Collective Minds® Radiology service (the “Service” as defined below). By accepting the Terms of service, an agreement is entered into by you (“you” or “User”) and Collective Minds Radiology AB, company registration number 559120-7187 having its registered address at Hörnåkersvägen 14, 183 65 Täby (“we” or “us”).
The Service is provided through our mobile application (the “App”) and our webpage www.cmrad.com and any subdomains thereof (the “Webpage”). By using the Service or creating a user account with us you accept these Terms of service. If you do not agree to these Terms of service, please do not use the Service provided by us.
The Service
Everyone using our Service is, in these Terms of Service, referred to as “Users” or “you”, a definition which also includes you as a party to this contract that you have entered into by accepting these Terms of service. We offer our Service to licensed medical professionals that have been given access to the Service through an agreement between us and the employer/university of the User or the User themselves in their capacity as an independent healthcare professional radiologist. All Users are verified prior to registration to ensure authenticity. The Service is to be used in the User’s professional capacity, working as a healthcare professional or researcher. Any use outside of the above, including use for commercial use, requires the User to enter into separate written agreement with us. The Service that constitutes the Collective Minds Platform can be described as having three core utilizations:
Consultation: The Service is used as an intelligent case solving platform for radiologists where users can get support in evaluating cases, examine shared data collectively, share their expertise and learn from each other. The Service shall be seen as a platform that may be used to further examine sample data of a patient case for further analysis, and not a substitute for a PACS and/or RIS system.
Education: The Service is used as a learning platform for hosting and sharing educational patient cases while controlling the spreading of unnecessary personal data pertaining to the Data Subject. These events may be both scheduled courses, or reference cases uploaded to the platform to share experiences with the community.
Research: Sponsors or researchers may use the Platform to communicate and structure datasets, given a specific research study design. The research group can design their process in the platform to harmonize and ease the collaboration and logistics of the datasets, and execute their own operations by downloading the data to local storage places from the platform.
In the scope of providing the Services, pseudonymized patient data contained in the medical data uploaded, such as Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) images and embedded metadata is processed. Collective Minds Radiology processes this data in the capacity of a data processor, whereas the respective clinics or otherwise independent radiologists act as data controllers for the processing (see ‘Third party links’ under ‘Material uploaded to the Service’ below).
All patient health data evident in the DICOM images are pseudonymised at its source location’s private network or through an encrypted link provided to the user. The objective of the pseudonymization is to remove any data which can be traced back to an individual Data Subject. A unique identifier is kept within each case to enable linking back to the original patient. This linking is only possible by the source clinic by the User, which enables them to fulfil their data protection obligations towards each patient without revealing any information that may infringe on the integrity of the Data Subject.
The process of pseudonymization removes all attributes such as name, birthdate, phone number, etc. from the DICOM images and removes any metadata tag which could indirectly enable the identification of the Data Subject. For this purpose, Collective Minds Radiology uses the de-identification method described in the DICOM standard 2017c. The specific tags which are removed or replaced can be found in Table E.1-1 from PS 3.15 of the DICOM standard 2017c.
In order to correctly provide our Services, the following tags are retained as these play a vital role in the medical context of our users and do not directly identify the patient.
Patient’s Sex
Acquisition/Study/Content/Series Date
Study Description
Series Description
Contrast Bolus Agent
Content Sequence
The following tags are converted into groups, such as: Patient Weight 70-80 kg, as required by policies at multiple large hospitals.
Patient’s Age
Patient’s Weight
Patient’s Size
Once a Case has been finalised and a suggested diagnosis has been established, Collective Minds Radiology continues to provide educational services based on these historic cases. The purpose is to help establish diagnosis in other Cases, train radiologists to become even more efficient and develop radiology services to become more precise than today. A Case will be deleted three (3) months after it has fulfilled this purpose.
Confidentiality and Privacy
The User acknowledges and agrees that information that the User may get access to or upload to the Service may be subject to confidentiality obligations set out in laws and regulations, e.g. the Patient Data Act (SFS 2008:355). Furthermore, you agree to adhere to the Non-Disclosure Agreement set out in Appendix 1.
Collective Minds Radiology processes personal data when a User uploads data pertaining to a patient to the Collective Minds Platform. The personal data processing is made in accordance with our privacy policy (https://www.cmrad.com/privacy) and in accordance with applicable data protection laws. Before you are allowed to upload patient data to be processed by the Collective Minds Platform, we have a legal obligation to enter into a data processing agreement with you.
To ensure that patients’ privacy is maintained when using the Service, all patient data relating to an uniquely identifiable person is removed from the DICOM images in a pseudonymization process when images are uploaded to the Service. Along with the pseudonymized images, Users are asked to provide information about the patient’s condition and/or other information and descriptions that may be required in order to obtain the feedback requested for diagnostic purposes. When uploading a case to the Service, the User may not include information in the description that directly or indirectly may identify the patient. A patient verification function lets the User verify the original patient identity without ever sharing or storing any personal data about the patient on the Collective Minds Platform. Users who want to use the Service for diagnostic support are responsible to verify the patientID of the specific patient, using the patient verification function, to avoid mix-up between different cases. In the event that a patient case is considered unique, due consideration shall be made with regards to any disclosure of such case information that may easily lead to the identification of the patient, if the User does not have the patient’s consent to utilize the Service.

Collective Minds Radiology, reg. no. 559120-7187, with address Hörnåkersvägen 14, SE-183 65 Täby, Sweden; and
The User (as defined in the Terms of Service).
Collective Minds Radiology and the User are hereinafter each referred to as a “Party” and jointly as the “Parties”. When either Party discloses information to the other Party under this Agreement the disclosure is hereinafter referred to as the “Disclosing Party” and a Party receiving any Confidential Information hereunder as the “Receiving Party”.
Background
The Parties have entered into an agreement regarding the provision and the use of the Collective Minds Service (the “Service”) through which the Parties will share and be privy to information regarding medical radiology cases (the “Purpose”). In order to protect such information, the Parties have agreed on the following;
Confidential Information
Confidential Information shall mean any and all information of a confidential nature, that is made available to or by the User through the Service, and shall, for the avoidance of doubt, include but not be limited to information regarding patients, and any information designated by the Disclosing Party as confidential or which should otherwise reasonably be regarded as being of a confidential nature (“Confidential Information”). For the avoidance of doubt, any information which is posted in the Service where the post has been labelled as being available for anyone with a link to that part of the Service, is not considered as Confidential Information.
Confidential Information does not include information which the Receiving Party can demonstrate (a) is or becomes available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by the Receiving Party in breach of this Agreement or any confidentiality undertaking, (b) was available to the Receiving Party on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure to the Receiving Party or (c) becomes available to the Receiving Party on a non-confidential basis from a person, other than the Disclosing Party or another User, who is not known by the Receiving Party to be bound by an obligation of confidentiality to the Disclosing Party.
The Receiving Party agrees to keep secret and not to disclose to any third party other than registered users of the Service, directly or indirectly, any Confidential Information and to take all reasonable measures to ensure that Confidential Information is so not disclosed and to only use the Confidential Information for the Purpose. The Receiving Party undertakes to safeguard Confidential Information in a manner no less protective than with reasonable care. The obligation of confidentiality does however not apply where the disclosure of Confidential Information is required by mandatory law, rule, regulation, applicable stock exchange rules or a court order, subject to what is set out in clause 2.6 below.
Collective Minds Radiology agrees to impose on its employees and consultants, in an appropriate manner, the obligations of confidentiality as set out herein. Collective Minds Radiology shall be liable for the actions of its employees and consultants with respect to the confidentiality obligations under this Agreement.
Collective Minds Radiology may disclose Confidential Information to its affiliates and its respective employees, directors, officers, consultants, advisors, legal advisors, financial advisers, accountants, subcontractors or sub-licensees (the “Affiliates”) who have a need to know such information for the Purpose. Collective Minds Radiology will however in such case ensure that the Affiliates to which it discloses Confidential Information undertake to only use the Confidential Information in accordance with the Purpose of this Agreement and to observe a level of confidentiality no less protective of the Confidential Information than as set out in this Agreement. Collective Minds Radiology shall be liable for any use and/or disclosure of Confidential Information by such Affiliates.
Should the Receiving Party be under obligation to disclose Confidential Information, in accordance with what is set forth in this Agreement, the Receiving Party shall without undue delay, before any disclosure is made, inform the Disclosing Party hereof in order for the Disclosing Party to be able to take such actions in order to protect the information as it may deem necessary. Any disclosure in accordance with this clause 2.6 shall be made only to the extent so required. The Receiving Party furthermore undertakes to without delay inform the Disclosing Party in case it becomes aware of any unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information and shall take all reasonable measures in order to prevent any further disclosure.
For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall affect either Party’s confidentiality obligations set out in mandatory law, if any.
Proprietary Rights
The Receiving Party acknowledges that any Confidential Information received shall at all times remain the property of the Disclosing Party or the user that has uploaded such information to the Service and that the Confidential Information received may not be used for any other purpose than the Purpose.
The Parties acknowledge that any Confidential Information is provided “as is” without any warranties as to its accuracy or completeness.
Term
This Agreement shall remain valid for the same period of time as the agreement between the Parties regarding the Service of which this Agreement is a part. However, the confidentiality obligations shall bind the Receiving Party from the date of disclosure of such information without limitation in time.
Miscellaneous
The Receiving Party may not assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party.
This Agreement does not, and is not intended to confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the Parties hereto.
This Agreement may only be amended by a written instrument duly signed by both Parties.
Governing Law and Arbitration
This Agreement, and any non-contractual obligation arising out of or in connection therewith, will be governed by the substantive laws of Sweden.
Any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, or the breach, termination or invalidity thereof, shall be finally settled by Swedish courts, with the Stockholm District Court as the first instance although we retain the right to bring proceedings against you in your country of residence, unless otherwise provided by mandatory law.
