Privacy

HealthCheck applies strengthened confidentiality rules for health. Here is how we protect patients, reporters and professionals.

• No individual health data

  No diagnoses, no patient names, no medical records. Patient surveys are anonymous and published only once there are at least 5 responses.

• Reporters protected

  Reporters’ names and phone numbers are never published; only their profile is shown. The public profile (photo, summary) is displayed only if the person authorises it.

• Photos with no identifiable person

  Photos must show neither patients nor documents bearing a name. CERC blurs or rejects them before publication.

• Health professionals

  Internal reports are known only to CERC and are published only in aggregated form, by health zone.

• Serious cases

  The detention of a patient over debt immediately alerts CERC and is published only after verification.

• Open data, without personal data

  Data exports for the Ministry and partners contain neither names nor phone numbers.
