1. Scope of this policy
This Privacy Policy applies to the professional website of Dr. Sabhana Firthous. The website presents professional background, credentials, services and contact information. It does not provide a patient portal, online diagnosis service or online appointment system.
2. Information handled by the website
This website does not contain forms that directly request or store personal information. Depending on the hosting provider and browser configuration, limited technical information may be processed automatically when a page is requested, including:
- Internet Protocol address and approximate location
- Browser, device and operating-system information
- Date, time, requested pages and referring page
- Security and diagnostic logs needed to operate the website
The website does not intentionally use this technical information to identify individual visitors.
3. How information may be used
Limited technical information may be used only for legitimate website operations, such as:
- Displaying and maintaining the website
- Protecting the website from misuse or security threats
- Diagnosing errors and improving performance
- Meeting legal or regulatory obligations where applicable
This website does not sell personal information or use it for automated decision-making.
4. External links and third-party services
The website links to services operated by third parties, including WhatsApp, Google Maps, UIDAI and government websites. It also loads web fonts provided by Google. When you use or load these services, the relevant provider may receive technical or personal information under its own privacy policy.
External websites are independently operated. Please review their privacy terms before providing information. This website is not responsible for the privacy practices, availability or content of external services.
5. Medical and sensitive information
Please do not send detailed medical records, identification documents, financial details or other sensitive personal information through this website. If you initiate a conversation through WhatsApp, share only the minimum information necessary to ask about availability or required documentation.
For emergencies: Do not rely on this website or WhatsApp. Contact the nearest emergency department or the appropriate emergency service immediately.
6. Security and retention
Reasonable steps should be used to protect website operations and any information handled through them. However, no internet transmission or storage method is completely secure.
Because this website does not directly collect information through forms or user accounts, it does not maintain a website visitor database. Technical logs, if generated by the hosting provider, may be retained according to that provider’s security and retention practices.
7. Your privacy choices
You may limit information shared with external services by adjusting browser privacy settings, blocking third-party resources or choosing not to follow external links. You may also request information about personal details you have directly shared through a contact channel, subject to identity verification and applicable law.
This website is intended for a general audience and is not designed to knowingly collect personal information directly from children.
