If you choose to contact me or proceed to an appointment or consultation booking service, you may voluntarily provide information such as:

• Name

• Appointment or consultation details
• Other information that you choose to provide while communicating or making a booking

Please do not submit sensitive medical information through ordinary website contact links unless specifically requested through an appropriate secure channel.

Your information will not be used for unrelated purposes without an appropriate legal basis or your consent where required.

3. Appointment and External Services

This website may provide links to external websites or services for appointment booking, communication, maps or other professional services.

In particular, the Book a Consultation function may take you to a separate booking service hosted under eka.care.

Information submitted on an external service may be subject to that service's own privacy policy and terms. You should review those policies before submitting personal information.

4. Cookies and Website Analytics

This website may use basic technical mechanisms such as cookies or similar technologies where necessary for the operation, security and performance of the website.

If analytics or other third-party services are used, those services may collect limited technical information such as browser type, device information, approximate location, pages visited and website usage information in accordance with their respective privacy policies.

The website does not intentionally use cookies to collect medical information.

5. Third-Party Links

The website may contain links to third-party websites and services, including hospitals, appointment-booking services, Google Maps and social-media or professional platforms.

Once you leave drakashdhuru.com, the privacy practices of the third-party website apply. I am not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party websites.

6. Medical Information

This website is intended to provide general professional and informational information about Dr. Akash Dhuru and his surgical oncology practice.

The website should not be used to submit confidential medical records or urgent medical information unless a specific secure communication or booking service has been provided for that purpose.

Information available on this website does not constitute a substitute for an individual medical consultation.

7. Data Security

Reasonable measures are taken to protect information provided through the website and associated services.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

8. Data Retention

Personal information will generally be retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including appointment management, communication, professional record-keeping and compliance with applicable legal requirements.

Retention periods may therefore vary depending on the nature of the information and the purpose for which it was collected.

9. Your Rights

Subject to applicable law, you may have rights concerning your personal information, including the right to request information about how your data is handled and to request correction or deletion where applicable.

Requests relating to information submitted through a third-party booking or service provider may need to be directed to that provider.
