Introduction:
Smile Tour India is committed to safeguarding patient privacy and maintaining the confidentiality of personal information. This policy outlines how we handle patient data, including data collected through digital platforms and advertising, as well as the limitations related to data protection and liability.
1. Patient Data Privacy
- Smile Tour India respects the privacy of all patients. Personal information and medical records will be kept confidential and will not be disclosed to third parties without explicit consent.
- Any clinical images or videos captured for evaluation purposes will have the patient’s identity masked. In cases where images or video testimonials are used for promotional purposes, explicit consent from the patient will be obtained beforehand.
2. Request for Medical Records
- Smile Tour India and its team of specialists may request past medical records from patients to assist in treatment planning and provide the best possible care.
- This information will only be requested through official communication channels, such as email, to ensure data security and authenticity. Patients are assured of 100% protection of this data, which will be handled with strict confidentiality and used exclusively for treatment purposes.
- Should patients wish to receive detailed reports on the dental work conducted through Smile Tour India, these reports will be provided only upon the patient’s request and sent directly to them via email.
3. Data Collected Through Digital Platforms
- Data collected through Smile Tour India’s digital marketing channels—including Facebook, Instagram, and other third-party digital platforms—is managed by those respective platforms and is subject to their privacy policies.
- Smile Tour India cannot guarantee the security of data managed by third-party platforms, as we do not have control over their data handling practices. Therefore, any potential data breach, or misuse arising from these platforms, is the responsibility of the third-party providers, as per their terms of service.
Conclusion
Smile Tour India remains dedicated to facilitating quality dental care experiences in India while prioritizing patient privacy and data security. However, we advise all patients to review third-party platform policies and understand the limitations outlined above.
