Privacy Statement
It’s about respect.
In order to provide you with the best care possible, our
team is often required to collect personal information and
file it for future reference. We do so only for legitimate
purposes, and only with your consent. We take every precaution
in protecting this information. We view this as not only a
professional obligation, which it most certainly is, but also
as a matter of trust.
We have taken measures to ensure that our processes meet
and exceed the legislated standards set out provincially in
the Personal Health Information Protection Act ("PHIPA"),
and federally in the Personal Information Protection and Electronic
Documents Act ("PIPEDA"). This legislation sets
out limits and rules for the collection, use, and disclosure
of personal information collected in the course of commercial
activities.
Rest assured, your information is safeguarded and stored
securely. We keep it only as long as required by law, or as
required in providing the best possible patient care. We will
never release, sell, or exchange personal information that
we obtain for any reason. Further, we have policies to ensure
that disclosure of your information is restricted to authorized
team members and our trusted health partners.
Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns
about privacy information.
