Absolute privacy and security is our number one priority and we have worked extremely hard to build this into every aspect of the Lyrebird Health platform. All sensitive information is processed kept within Australia and at no point in time is transferred offshore or overseas. Lyrebird is fully compliant with the Australian Privacy Act 1988.
A brief overview of how we keep your information secure:
We perform all transcription in real time on our servers in Sydney, this means we immediately turn all audio into text during your consult and at no point in time permanently store your audio. By the time you have finished your consult we will have already transcribed every word and there will be no audio remanence from your conversation. We also never send any audio sent offshore nor is it accessible by a third party.
Following this, all Large Language Model (LLM) processing occurs on our Microsoft Azure servers located in Sydney Australia. No user data is ever utilised for training purposes nor is any information stored or accessed by Azure at any point in time.
Finally, all saved documents are stored on our Australian servers and encrypted at rest using 256 bit encryption. These documents are only saved for 7 days by default and then permanently deleted, this period can be reduced to 24h or extended to up to 28 days for your convenience.

Medicolegal Assurance:
Lyrebird has been designed in collaboration with many of the Medical Indemnity Offices and we worked with MDA National whilst they created their advice and support for using AI tools in consultations which is another excellent resource for practitioners.
As long as you obtain appropriate consent to record the consultation from the patient and those accompanying them then Lyrebird is completely medicolegally compliant. To make this second nature we prompt you to ask for consent before each consult and then store that it was obtained with a time stamp every time.
Every day Lyrebird is being used in over a thousand real world consults and over 99.5% of patients are consenting the first time. In addition to verbal consent you can also obtain consent in written form through your practice registration form.
We have also made an A4 privacy printout for you to place in your practice that patients can scan to find out in depth information about how we keep their data secure on our data storage and privacy page.
