Data Privacy Protocols

Meaning

Data Privacy Protocols are formalized sets of rules, procedures, and technical safeguards rigorously implemented to govern the ethical and legal handling of sensitive personal health information. These protocols ensure that an individual’s medical, genetic, and hormonal data are protected from any form of unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or misuse. Adherence to these established standards is a non-negotiable clinical and ethical imperative for maintaining patient trust and ensuring full compliance with stringent regulatory frameworks like HIPAA and GDPR. They represent the foundational structure for secure health data management.
