1. Data Controller
Amplified Creations - Informática e Gestão, Lda. ("Amplified Creations"), owner of the RVer brand, headquartered in Leiria, Portugal, is responsible for processing personal data collected through this website. Contact: hi@rver.pt
2. Data Collected
We collect the data you voluntarily provide through the contact form: name, institution, email, phone and message. When you send the form, we record the request in our sales tool and create a personal link to our study library for your institution. On that link we record when it is opened and which studies are viewed or downloaded, with no IP address or device identifier. Beyond that, we do not use tracking cookies or analytics. The website keeps only local preferences in your browser (your language and what you fill in on the free tools), which are never sent to us.
3. Purpose and Legal Basis
Data is used to respond to your information request and follow up on it, including the record of views on your study link (legitimate interest / pre-contractual steps). You can object to that record at any time at hi@rver.pt. We do not use data for marketing without express consent.
4. Your Rights
You have the right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability and objection. Contact us at hi@rver.pt.
02General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
Last updated: October 2026
1. Data Controller
Amplified Creations - Informática e Gestão, Lda. ("Amplified Creations"), owner of the RVer brand, headquartered in Leiria, Portugal, is the data controller for personal data processed in the context of its B2B commercial activities. General contact: hi@rver.pt

3. Scope: Data Processed by RVer
The RVer base product is a Class I medical device registered in EUDAMED (Basic UDI-DI 56006195127RVERTZ) and with INFARMED, I.P. (Portugal) under no. CDM 94571546, and bears the CE mark under Regulation (EU) 2017/745 (MDR). The device is supplied to institutions (hospitals, clinics, care homes, palliative care services and wellness spaces), which act as data controllers for their patients' data. RVer does not collect or store patient data. The only exception is technical and momentary: during a family video call, what the person sees in the headset passes through our server in real time and is not stored (see below).
Personal data processed directly by Amplified Creations, Lda. is limited to B2B contact information of clients and prospective clients: contact person name, professional email address, contract dates and healthcare institution. This data is used exclusively for managing the commercial relationship.
Usage statistics. The app sends usage statistics per device (which module and which content were opened, and for how long), linked to the device identifier and never to a person. These records contain no personal or clinical patient data and are used exclusively to improve the app and to help the institution manage its equipment.
Family video call. During a session, the institution can open a video call between the device and up to two family members, who join from a browser with a code (PIN). The call is live only: nothing is recorded. Camera audio and video travel directly between the participants over an encrypted connection. When a direct connection is not possible, they pass through a relay service that has no access to the content. When a direct connection is not possible, the relay is our own relay server, in the European Union. To set up the connection, the devices and the family members' browsers query a public connection server (Google STUN), which sees only the network address. What the person sees in the headset is relayed in real time through our server to those on the call, and is not stored. To connect the call, the server temporarily keeps the room identifier, the PIN and the device identifier, deleted when the call ends or at most one hour later. A technical record that the room was created (by which device and when, with no names or content) is kept to prevent abuse and deleted after 90 days.
Patient assignment. In the Companion app, the team can link a session to a patient, by name or by a code of the institution's choosing; a name is not required. This information is stored only on the device itself and is never sent to RVer's servers. The institution is the data controller for it. When a device leaves an institution, at the end of a contract or to go to another client, it is factory reset and receives a fresh installation of the RVer app. All data it held, including patient names and codes, is erased, as if it were a new device.
4. Purpose and Legal Basis
Processing is carried out on the following bases:
- Performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR): to fulfil contractual obligations to clients;
- Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR): to respond to information requests from prospective clients and follow up on the commercial relationship, including the record of views on the personal links we send (you can object at any time at hi@rver.pt);
- Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR): where required by applicable legislation, including MDR 2017/745.
5. Cookies and Tracking
This website does not use tracking cookies or third-party analytics tools. The only view records are those of the personal links we send to clients, prospective clients and partners (study library, proposals, brand kit): we record when they are opened and what is viewed. For the brand kit, the record also includes the IP address and browser, to detect misuse. Your browser keeps only local preferences (language, free tools), which are never sent to us.
6. Data Retention
Contact data of prospective clients is retained for the period necessary to handle the request, and for a maximum of 2 years after the last contact. Client data relating to active contracts is retained for the duration of the contract and for the legally required period thereafter.
7. Sharing with Third Parties
Data is not sold or shared with third parties for commercial purposes. It may be disclosed to subcontractors providing technological infrastructure services, contractually bound to comply with GDPR: server hosting (OVH, in the European Union), website delivery and protection (Cloudflare) and the video call connection server (Google STUN, which sees only the network address). Where one of these providers processes data outside the European Economic Area, the transfer relies on the European Commission's standard contractual clauses or the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.
8. Data Subject Rights
Data subjects have the right to:
- Access their personal data;
- Rectification of inaccurate data;
- Erasure ("right to be forgotten"), where legally applicable;
- Restriction of processing;
- Data portability;
- Object to processing.
To exercise any of these rights, contact the DPO at hi@rver.pt.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority: Comissão Nacional de Proteção de Dados (CNPD), www.cnpd.pt.
9. Security
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect data against unauthorised access, loss, alteration or destruction, in accordance with Art. 32 GDPR.
10. Regulatory Framework
Amplified Creations, Lda. operates in compliance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR), Regulation (EU) 2017/745 (MDR) and applicable national legislation.
