Data Privacy

Meaning

Data Privacy, within the clinical and wellness context, is the ethical and legal principle that governs the collection, use, and disclosure of an individual’s personal health information and biometric data. This concept ensures that sensitive patient data, including hormonal test results and genetic profiles, is protected from unauthorized access or sharing. Adherence to strict privacy standards is fundamental to maintaining patient trust and complying with global regulatory frameworks like HIPAA and GDPR.
