Data Minimization in Practice

Your Information, Through Your Care Journey

The forms and rules in this website source identify available account and profile fields. They do not by themselves establish which fields are required in production, all service uses, or the legal basis for each use. Confirm those details before approving this notice.

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)

Third-Party Data Flow

Sharing Should Be Understandable

Healthcare delivery is inherently collaborative. Delivering seamless care requires interaction with licensed doctors, diagnostic labs, cloud infrastructure, and regulatory authorities. We never sell your personal or medical data to advertisers or commercial brokers.

Licensed Clinicians & Partner Hospitals

When you book a video consultation or clinic appointment, your clinical concern, uploaded files, and demographic details are shared exclusively with the attending doctor to enable proper diagnosis and patient care.

Bound by NMC Medical Ethics Regulations 2023

Diagnostic Labs & Pharmacies

When you request home pathology collection or opt for prescription medicine delivery, details needed for a requested service may be shared with external labs or pharmacies. Ask the provider about relevant accreditation and licensing.

Dispatched only upon affirmative patient initiation

Cloud & Telehealth Infrastructure

SMS, email, and video features may rely on third-party services. Contact support for current details about provider locations and data safeguards.

Provider privacy information

Statutory & Lawful Government Authorities

Information is disclosed only under authentic, enforceable court orders, search warrants, or statutory disease reporting mandates established by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare under the Epidemic Diseases framework.

Reviewed by legal counsel prior to any disclosure
Patient Security Hygiene

Your Account Deserves Attention, Too

While we safeguard systems with clinical-grade cryptography, account security is a shared responsibility. Practical habits protect you from unauthorized access or social engineering attempts.

Unique Passwords

Use a dedicated, complex password or passkey. Never reuse workplace or casual web credentials for your health records.

Rule #1

Never Share OTPs

DocMedicano clinicians, nurses, and care coordinators will NEVER ask for your login OTP or payment UPI pin via phone or WhatsApp.

Zero-Trust Notice

Keep Contacts Updated

Ensure your active phone number and emergency email are kept current. Outdated SIM numbers create account takeover vulnerabilities.

Profile Hygiene

Sign Out Shared Devices

Always log out of cyber cafes, clinic lobby kiosks, or shared family tablets immediately after reading your medical discharge summary.

Session Control

Report Suspicion

If you receive an unprompted OTP or notice an appointment you did not schedule, notify our emergency security desk immediately.

Immediate Action
Clear Channel Transparency

Care Messages and Promotions Should Be Clearly Distinguished

Critical healthcare notifications must never be obscured by marketing announcements. We separate vital clinical alerts from optional wellness content, giving you total agency over what reaches your device.

Essential Care Messages
Non-Disableable

Critical transactional notifications necessary to deliver scheduled healthcare services safely:

  • Teleconsultation joining links & PINs
  • Doctor delay or rescheduling notifications
  • Digitally signed e-prescription ready alerts
  • Account verification OTPs & security resets
  • Payment receipts and refund confirmations

These cannot be toggled off as they are integral to statutory clinical care delivery.

Optional Health & Promos
100% Opt-In

Discretionary lifestyle communications designed to keep you informed of preventive options:

  • CarePass seasonal consultation bonus credits
  • Preventive cardiac & diabetes screening camps
  • Quarterly physician-authored health digests
  • Partner diagnostic package discounts

Family Profiles & Autonomy

Family Support Needs Clear Boundaries

In India, family members frequently coordinate medical care for elders or young children. DocMedicano simplifies multi-member booking while rigorously preserving the statutory confidentiality and individual dignity of every patient.

Distinct Patient Profiles

A single primary phone account can create separate sub-profiles for spouses, aging parents, or children. Profiles are stored separately in the patient account.

Adult Autonomy First

Sharing CarePass consultation credits does NOT automatically grant permission to read another adult family member’s confidential clinical summaries or prescriptions without explicit digital consent.

Minor Dependents

Records of children under 18 years are managed by the designated legal guardian. Upon reaching majority (18 years), profiles may be smoothly detached into an independent adult personal vault.

Instant Revocation

Any family delegate permission or caretaker access can be modified, paused, or permanently revoked at any time directly through the DocMedicano account settings.

Retention & Lifecycle Management

Keeping Information—and Knowing When to Remove It

We retain information only as long as needed to deliver ongoing care, satisfy statutory medical regulations, and comply with tax and audit laws. Here is our exact statutory timeline.

Statutory Clinical Code

Medical & Consult Records

Minimum 3 Years

In accordance with NMC Telemedicine Guidelines and MoHFW protocols, clinical prescription logs and encounter summaries are preserved for a minimum of 3 years to ensure clinical auditability.

Tax & Corporate Law

Financial & Billing Records

7 Years

Under Indian GST and Income Tax statutory mandates, formal invoice references, payment transaction states, and refund ledger entries must be retained for 7 financial years.

Account Lifecycle

Closure vs Deletion

Immediate Lock

Account closure immediately halts login capability, promotional outreach, and active processing. Medical records transition to cold encrypted archive until the statutory legal period concludes.

Consent Architecture

Consent Revocation

Instant Cessation

Under the DPDP Act 2023, you may revoke consent for discretionary processing. Upon revocation, all optional feeds and third-party lab booking syncs cease immediately without penalty.

Security Researchers & Vulnerability Disclosure

We welcome constructive reports from ethical security researchers. DocMedicano operates a safe-harbor Responsible Vulnerability Disclosure Program.

Do not access, modify, or download real patient health data.
Avoid disruptive testing (DDoS, automated mass brute-force attacks).
Give our engineering team 30 days to remediate before public disclosure.

Real Technical Architecture

Protection That Can Be Explained

We believe trust is built on specific, verified technical safeguards rather than vague marketing jargon. Here are the core pillars that protect patient confidentiality every second.

Data Protection

Every connection to DocMedicano is enforced over modern TLS 1.3 encryption with Perfect Forward Secrecy. Database volumes and consultation document buckets are encrypted at rest using AES-256 with keys rotated every 90 days.

In-Transit & At-Rest

Account Protection

Strict time-based cryptographic OTPs, rate-limited login endpoints, continuous threat intelligence IP filtering, and automatic session invalidation upon concurrent browser access anomalies.

Zero Session Hijacking

Staff Governance

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) ensures employees only see what is required for their specific assignment. All staff sign legally binding confidentiality agreements and complete annual biomedical privacy training.

Role-Segregated Audits

Recovery & Continuity

Automated, geographically separated encrypted backups created daily across AWS Mumbai and Hyderabad availability zones. Disaster recovery plans undergo verified recovery stress tests bi-annually.

RPO < 1 hr • RTO < 4 hrs

24/7 Security Monitoring

Real-time automated SIEM telemetry scanning for abnormal data exfiltration patterns, credential stuffing, and unusual API volumes. Instant alerting routes directly to our on-call SecOps engineers.

Continuous Telemetry

External ABDM Governance

ABHA linking options depend on current service availability and applicable requirements.

ABHA linking information

Clear Information. A Place to Ask Questions.

Understanding how your personal and clinical information is handled should be an integral part of the healthcare experience. We are here whenever you need clarity.
