Privacy & confidentiality

Retention and deletion periods are not stated here because policy is pending approval.

Information is used only for authorized care and service purposes, with access limited by role and need.

Adults control any sharing with family or other people, subject to applicable law and approved policy.

For children, guardian authority and a young person's privacy depend on verified relationships and approved safeguards. A guardian does not automatically see every record.

A medical record number is a display identifier only. It is not a password or access credential.
