De-identification & Privacy Safeguards
Before any voice sample is used for system improvement, it undergoes a rigorous de-identification process to ensure that it no longer constitutes PHI or PII under the UAE Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL) and ADHICS standards. This includes:
- Stripping metadata and clinical identifiers
- Audio review to remove personally revealing speech content
- Ensuring data is irreversibly anonymized such that re-identification is not possible
Access to de-identified training data is restricted to authorized RAIN personnel under strict role-based permissions, and all use is auditable and logged for accountability.
