Whelp, it was lovely having private medical records. Shame it didn't last.
Here's a policy I'd like to see included in a comprehensive digital-age privacy protection bill;
If a company stores people's personal information, they must supply;
* a single-click way to delete an account and all its data
* a phone number those people can call and get immediate assistance, or failing that, an automated callback
* an address those people can email and get a response within 48 hours. In case they want to have a written record of their interaction with the company
A couple of months back, I evaluated the privacy policy of ManageMyHealth.co.nz (MMH);

TL;DR Nuke it from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.
Since then, I've been getting nagmails from MMH trying to get me to use their platform. Today I tried figure out how to get this spam to stop.

Well, I finally got around to evaluating the #ManageMyHealth portal;
https://managemyhealth.co.nz/about-us/
When my GP suggested I sign up with it, I presumed it was a public service offered by Te Whatu Ora, like My Health Record;
https://www.tewhatuora.govt.nz/health-services-and-programmes/digital-health/my-health-record
So what do I think of Manage My Health? Not impressed. This is a privately-owned, for-profit digital platform, that I can't be certain isn't #DataFarming patients who sign up with it.
