To the extent that Cliniconex collects personal information, it will collect only that personal information reasonably necessary to send notifications and reminders to patients to improve the clinic’s operations and, ultimately, the health of their patients.
Cliniconex may collect some or all of the following types of personal information: name of patient, appointment date and time and patient contact information such as a phone number or email address. At the discretion of the health information custodian, Cliniconex may also collect the name of the health services provider (e.g. a doctor or a dietician) related to the appointment.
Limiting Use and Retention
Cliniconex will not use or disclose of personal information for purposes other than those for which it was collected as specified above, except with the consent of the health information custodian (or individual, if applicable) or as required by law.
Record Retention
To the extent it collects personal information, Cliniconex will retain such personal information only as long as necessary for the fulfillment of the purposes set out above.
Methods of Protection
The methods of protection used by Cliniconex to protect personal information include, but are not limited to:
- Administrative safeguards (e.g. privacy and security policies, limiting access to information on a need-to-know basis, use of security clearances);
- Physical safeguards (e.g. locked filing cabinets, restricted access to offices); and
- Technical safeguards (e.g. use of passwords, encryption and firewalls).
Security
In the event Cliniconex collects personal information, it may pass through servers located in Canada or the United States. We treat data as an asset that must be protected and use many tools (encryption, passwords, physical security, etc.) to protect personal information against unauthorized access and disclosure. However, third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications.
