Strata does not diagnose, prescribe, or treat. Our work does not replace your physicians.

These providers may store or process your data on servers outside Costa Rica. We ask for your explicit consent to this international transfer.

Source documents you send us are deleted thirty days after we deliver your finished document, unless you ask us to delete them sooner.

On written request we will delete your data, subject to any record we are legally required to keep.
