Personal and health data processing

Last updated: [PENDING INFORMATION — publication date]

This text is a general draft, written with reference to Argentine data protection legislation and health information confidentiality rules. It must be reviewed and validated by a legal professional before final publication, together with the secure system for receiving medical documentation that is ultimately implemented.

1. Health data is sensitive data

Argentine Law No. 25,326 on Personal Data Protection considers "sensitive data" to include data related to a person's health, among others, and establishes that it requires an enhanced level of protection.

2. What health information we may receive

Through the medical referrals form, a referring physician may voluntarily attach a medical order and prior studies for the patient, along with the reason for the referral.

3. Sole purpose

This information is used exclusively for the medical evaluation of the referral by Dr. Corina Biagioni and coordinating the corresponding appointment with the clinic. It is not used for any other purpose.

4. Restricted access

Only authorized medical and administrative staff at SAH access this information, within the professional confidentiality that governs healthcare activity.

5. No sharing with third parties

This information is not shared with third parties outside the care circuit, except where legally required or with the patient's express consent.

6. Data retention

Argentine Law No. 26,529 on Patient Rights, Medical Records and Informed Consent establishes guidelines on medical record retention. [PENDING INFORMATION] — the details of retention for documentation received through this channel will be defined together with the secure system for receiving medical files.

7. Security

This project's brief expressly establishes that a personal email account must not be used to receive medical records or sensitive documentation. A secure, restricted system for uploading and receiving medical files is planned — see the corresponding technical note. Until that system is implemented, this mechanism is documented as pending.

8. Your rights

You can request access, rectification or deletion of your health information by writing to [PENDING INFORMATION — contact email], subject to applicable legal obligations regarding medical record retention.
