Individual Data Privacy

Meaning

Individual Data Privacy is the core ethical and legal right that grants a person control over the collection, storage, use, and sharing of their personal health information, including all unique biological and clinical metrics. It is the fundamental assurance that sensitive data, such as detailed hormonal profiles or genetic markers, will not be exploited or disclosed without the individual’s explicit, informed consent. Protecting individual data privacy is essential for building and maintaining the necessary trust between patients and the healthcare systems that manage their longevity and wellness. This principle underpins ethical clinical practice.
