Privacy Policy
How Seaford East Medical Clinic handles personal and health information
Privacy matters in general practice. This page explains, at a practical level, how information is collected, used, protected, and accessed through the clinic.
What information we collect
We collect the information needed to provide clinical care, manage appointments, process billing, communicate with patients, and meet professional or legal obligations linked to running a medical practice.
Why it is used
Information may be used for treatment, referrals, recalls, results follow-up, administrative tasks, and other processes directly connected to delivering safe and coordinated care.
Use and disclosure
Information is not shared casually. Disclosure is limited to situations connected to care delivery, practice operations, or where law or professional obligations allow or require it.
Storage and protection
The clinic takes reasonable steps to protect records and limit access to authorised staff and clinicians who need the information to perform their role.
Access and correction
Patients can contact reception to ask about access to records or to request correction of information that appears incomplete or inaccurate.
Questions or concerns
If you have a privacy-related question, concern, or request, start with reception so the issue can be directed through the correct clinic process.
