Privacy Policy

At Princeton Medical Centre, your privacy and confidentiality are of the utmost importance to us. We are committed to protecting your personal health information in all aspects of your care, ensuring that your sensitive data is handled with the highest level of respect and security.

This Privacy Policy outlines our commitment to safeguarding your personal health information and explains how we protect, use, and disclose your information in accordance with relevant laws and professional standards.

This Privacy Policy applies to the collection, use, and protection of personal health information for all patients under our care. It covers any personal health information that we possess, including both electronic and paper records.

Personal health information refers to any identifying details about you related to your physical or mental health, medical history, the provision of healthcare, payment for health care services, organ and tissue donation, or your health number.

At Princeton Medical Centre, we follow fair information practices, legal requirements, and standards of medical practice to protect your privacy. Our Privacy Policy is structured around the following 10 principles:

We take full responsibility for the personal health information we hold. Every physician, nurse, and employee associated with Princeton Medical Centre is trained to understand the importance of privacy and must comply with our privacy policies. Our staff receives ongoing education on privacy matters.

We collect your personal health information to provide you with medical care and services. Most of the information is gathered directly from you or from other healthcare providers you’ve authorized. We only collect information necessary to meet your healthcare needs, and we will inform you about how we use it. If we need to use your information for any other purpose, we will obtain your consent.

You have control over how your personal health information is used. For most healthcare purposes, your consent is implied through your agreement to receive treatment. However, for specific uses, we may require your express, sometimes written, consent.

We collect only the personal health information necessary to provide appropriate care. All information is collected by lawful and fair means and is used strictly for healthcare purposes.

We only use your information for the purposes described in our Privacy Statement. We do not sell your personal health information to third parties. We may share your information with consultants or suppliers who support our practice, but only under the condition that they adhere to our privacy policy and use the information solely for their intended business purposes.

We retain your personal health information for as long as it is necessary for healthcare purposes. When no longer needed, your information will be securely destroyed. However, some records may be retained longer for legal or regulatory reasons.

We strive to ensure that your personal health information is accurate and up to date. We rely on you to provide complete and accurate information, and to inform us of any changes in your health status or personal details.

We maintain strict security measures to protect your personal health information. Our clinic stores records in both paper and electronic formats. Recent paper records are kept on-site at our clinic, while older records are securely stored off-site.

Access to your information is restricted to authorized personnel only—physicians, staff, and agents involved in your care. We use password-protected computer systems and secure databases to ensure your information remains confidential. If you send personal information via email, please note that email is not fully secure. We recommend that you only send sensitive information via encrypted communication.

We are transparent about our privacy practices. A copy of this Privacy Policy is available to you, and we encourage you to ask for it at any time. If you have questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us via email at PrincetonMedCtr@gmail.com. We are here to help address any privacy-related concerns.

You have the right to access the personal health information we maintain about you. If you would like to view your records, please submit a written request with proper identification. In some cases, we may charge a small fee for this service and will notify you in advance.

If you notice any errors in your health information, please inform us promptly. We will correct factual inaccuracies as needed. If we refuse a correction, you may add a brief statement of disagreement to your record. If access to your information is denied, we will provide you with the reasons in writing.

If you have concerns about our privacy practices or handling of your information, please contact us directly. We will investigate and address any concerns raised. Most issues can be resolved through a discussion with us.

If you are not satisfied with our response, we will provide information on alternative procedures for filing a formal complaint.

At Princeton Medical Centre, we are committed to providing excellent medical care while respecting your privacy. Thank you for choosing us for your healthcare needs.
