Privacy Policy
Natrition Wellness makes a commitment to enacting privacy and confidentiality best practices, including:
​
-
Holding client sessions in a private (not public) setting.
-
Keeping patient intake forms and notes in a password-protected folder on your computer.
-
Ensuring that you do not leave your laptop unattended in a public place or in a vehicle.
-
Maintaining secure passwords for your computer and email client.
-
Never sharing passwords with others or writing them down (instead, consider adopting a password security manager, like LastPass).
-
Keeping any paper records in a locked storage box.
-
Shredding or permanently deleting records or files that you no longer wish to store.
-
Never sharing a client’s personal information with friends, family members, or on social media (unless you have express written permission to do so).
-
Obtaining written permission from the client before collaborating with another wellness provider on a client’s behalf.
It’s important to note that e-mail and most video conference platforms are not encrypted, and thus not guaranteed to be fully secure. In most cases, for clients outside of a traditional healthcare setting, a commitment to confidentiality is sufficient. Although, if you are working with a particularly security-sensitive client base, you may opt to use an encrypted communication platform and/or video conference tool (e.g., ProtonMail and Zoom Healthcare).
