Privacy & Confidentiality Statement
At MedicalTourismCouncil.org, we value and respect your right to privacy and are fully committed to protecting the confidentiality of your personal, medical, and health-related information in compliance with applicable data protection laws and standards.
This statement outlines how we collect, use, and safeguard the personal information you share with us, as well as our procedures to maintain the security and confidentiality of that information.
By using our website or accessing our services, you acknowledge and agree to the terms outlined in this Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review this statement periodically, as it may be updated from time to time. Any revisions will be indicated by the date at the bottom of this page.
Personally Identifiable Information
To assist you in exploring medical travel options or healthcare services abroad, MedicalTourismCouncil.org may collect personal information in several ways:
- Directly through online forms, inquiries, or email communications submitted by you.
- Orally during phone consultations or other communication channels.
- With your explicit consent, we may also obtain relevant health or treatment information from third parties such as your current healthcare provider, physician, or treatment facility.
Personal and health-related details that uniquely identify you are referred to as "personally identifiable information." This information may be shared, with your consent, only with our network of hospitals, clinics, and medical providers for the purpose of facilitating your requested healthcare services or travel support. Your personal data will never be used for purposes unrelated to the services you request, except as required by law.
MedicalTourismCouncil.org is not a medical provider and will not interpret, evaluate, or make clinical judgments based on the information you supply. All medical or treatment-related advice should come solely from qualified healthcare professionals.
Please review our Terms of Service for more information about your rights and our responsibilities.
GDPR Compliance (for Users in the European Union)
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), the handling of your personal information complies with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
This means you have the right to:
- Access, correct, or request deletion of your personal data;
- Restrict or object to certain processing activities;
- Withdraw your consent at any time (where applicable); and
- Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority if you believe our processing violates your rights.
We process your data only when we have a lawful basis — such as your explicit consent, our legitimate interest in providing services, or compliance with a legal obligation.
If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact us at info@medicaltourismcouncil.org.
Data Security
We take appropriate and reasonable precautions to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, misuse, accidental loss, or disclosure. These safeguards may include technologies such as Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption, data firewalls, restricted-access environments, and internal data protection protocols.
While we employ strong security measures, please note that no transmission of data over the internet or any storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute protection against all potential breaches or unauthorized access.
We will not sell, rent, or lease your personal information to any third party.
Third-Party Links
Our website may contain links to third-party websites for your convenience. These links do not imply endorsement of their products, services, or practices.
Please note that MedicalTourismCouncil.org is not responsible for the content or privacy practices of linked websites. We encourage you to carefully review the privacy statements and terms of any linked site you choose to visit.
Information Relating to Children
We do not knowingly collect or retain personal information from individuals under the age of 18 without verified parental or guardian consent. If we learn that we have inadvertently received such data, we will promptly delete it from our records and inform the child (if possible) that parental consent is required.
