Building trust through transparent data use
Roche commits to legitimate and ethical data handling, ensuring all data generated through the use of our products is managed and used responsibly. Through stringent data governance, data residency and data use transparency, we prioritize patient welfare and support advancements in healthcare that build lasting trust.
Roche provides transparency regarding data storage locations and transfers, ensuring customers understand where their data resides and how it’s protected. We employ a regional approach to data storage, selecting local cloud storage vendors and storage locations that comply with regional regulations.
To meet diverse regional requirements, Roche provides flexible storage options when available, including both on-premise and cloud-based solutions. Our approach prioritizes compliance with local regulations by partnering with regional cloud providers and selecting storage locations that align with specific legal and security standards. This flexibility allows us to support customers in maintaining control over their data while ensuring it is stored in a manner that respects national and regional data protection laws.
Whenever data transfer outside the region is required, Roche follows a transparent approach, providing written notification or contractual updates to third parties and customers to explain the reason and obtain necessary permissions when neccessary. We ensure all transfers comply with relevant regional and international data protection standards.
In an era where data and AI are transforming healthcare, Roche has developed a data and ethical standards framework to ensure all data and AI applications are managed with integrity, transparency and respect for patient rights. Through these principles, we aim to build trust with partners and drive responsible use of innovation in healthcare.

We keep customers informed and engaged in our data use practices, ensuring mutual understanding and control over their data. This approach supports informed, empowered healthcare relationships.
