5. Practitioner Profile Visibility
When a Practitioner creates a public profile, their name, professional specialty, biography, and location preference are visible to all visitors on the Platform. Registration numbers or credential information marked as public are also visible.
Practitioners can hide their profile from public listing at any time via their profile settings.
6. Data Retention
We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide our services. If you close your account, we will delete or anonymise your personal information within 90 days, except where we are required to retain it for legal or compliance purposes.
Enquiry records and messages may be retained for up to 3 years for dispute resolution purposes.
7. Security
We use industry-standard security measures including encryption in transit (TLS), encrypted data storage, and access controls. However, no internet transmission is completely secure and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your data.
If you become aware of any security issue or unauthorised access to your account, contact us immediately at security@healthcarerooms.com.
8. Cookies and Analytics
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the Platform, remember your preferences, and understand how the Platform is used. We use PostHog for product analytics.
