APPLICABLE LEGISLATION
At SDPT, I abide by the rules and regulations imposed by the College of Physiotherapists of Ontario, the licensing body of which I am a member in good standing, with respect to the collection, use, and disclosure of your personal health information.
COLLECTION OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
Unless expressly noted otherwise, we do not collect personally identifiable information from users of my Sites. When you visit my Sites, some information about your computer hardware and software, such as your IP address, domain name, browser type, access time and referring website addresses, is inherently and automatically collected. An example of when this information may be used is in implementing improvements and analyzing the Sites and for troubleshooting purposes. As the SDPT sites are public, you may visit the Sites without telling us who you are. However, in order to gain access to certain parts of the Sites or particular content, or to purchase particular services and/or products, you may be required to provide us with personal information. We require only the information that is reasonably required to enter into a service relationship with you.
FOR PARENTS OR LEGAL GUARDIANS
Any child visiting SDPT for an initial physiotherapy appointment is required to be accompanied by at least one parent or legal guardian. During the initial intake, the child’s parent or legal guardian will be asked to confirm that they authorize SDPT to collect, use, and disclose their and their child’s personal information as applicable and in connection with the services that are provided. For subsequent visits to SDPT, the child may be accompanied by any responsible adult who has the child’s parent(s) or cargiver(s) consent to do so.
SDPT does not seek to collect, use, or disclose a child’s personal information without the consent of their parent or legal guardian and we limit the use of a child’s personal information for and in connection with the services provided to the child.
COLLECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
We collect and maintain different types of personal information which may include, but is not limited to, the following:
contact and identification information, such as your name, email address, telephone number, and home address. For example, you will be asked to provide this information when you book an appointment and/or purchase a product or service from SDPT.
personal health information which is relevant to your use of our services.
payment information, including your credit card number and billing address.
Please note that we also collect personal information about your child when you request that we provide our services for the benefit of your child. We do not collect a child’s personal information without the consent of the child’s parent or legal guardian. In the case of a minor, if you are not the parent or legal guardian of the minor, you represent that you have received the minor’s parent’s or legal guardian’s permission to share the minor’s information with SDPT.
