14. Healthcare Professionals and Independent Third Parties

HealthBridge Travel facilitates and coordinates access to healthcare professionals and providers.

Physicians, dentists, surgeons, clinics, hospitals, laboratories, diagnostic centers, and other healthcare providers involved in your evaluation or treatment may act independently with respect to the professional healthcare services they provide.

These providers may:

  • Create and maintain their own medical records;

  • Request additional personal or medical information directly from you;

  • Require you to sign separate consent forms;

  • Maintain their own privacy notices or policies; and

  • Have independent professional, legal, or regulatory obligations regarding your information.

This Privacy Notice applies to personal information processed by HealthBridge Travel.

You should also review the privacy notices, consent forms, and policies provided by the healthcare professionals or facilities that ultimately evaluate or treat you.

15. Medical Disclaimer and Privacy Scope

HealthBridge Travel provides patient coordination and facilitation services. Information submitted through our website or provided during an initial evaluation request should not be interpreted as emergency medical care.

If you are experiencing a medical emergency, you should contact the appropriate local emergency services or seek immediate professional medical attention.

The submission of information through our website does not, by itself, create a physician-patient relationship with HealthBridge Travel.

A physician-patient or provider-patient relationship may arise separately between you and an individual healthcare professional or medical facility according to their own procedures and applicable law.

16. Minors

Our services are generally intended for adults.

If personal information regarding a minor is submitted to HealthBridge Travel, it should be provided by the minor's parent, legal guardian, or another person legally authorized to act on the minor's behalf.

We may request additional documentation or authorization where reasonably necessary to verify legal authority before processing sensitive personal information concerning a minor.

17. Third-Party Websites and Social Media

Our website may contain links to social media platforms, healthcare providers, clinics, travel providers, or other third-party websites or services.

HealthBridge Travel does not control and is not responsible for the privacy practices, security measures, content, or data processing activities of third-party websites or platforms.

We encourage you to review the privacy notices and policies of those third parties before submitting personal information directly to them.

18. Changes to This Privacy Notice

HealthBridge Travel may modify or update this Privacy Notice from time to time due to:

  • Changes in applicable laws or regulations;

  • Changes to our services;

  • Changes to our data processing practices;

  • Changes to technology or security practices;
