Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 2026

Introduction

LogEM ("we", "our", "us") is a clinical shift logging and portfolio management tool for Emergency Medicine professionals. We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your data responsibly.

Key Principle: LogEM is designed to record non-identifiable patient encounter data only. No patient-identifiable information (names, NHS numbers, dates of birth, addresses) should be entered into the system.

LogEM is part of the MasterEM ecosystem and is operated by MasterEM. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights.
