Privacy and Confidentiality: You are responsible for ensuring your own privacy during virtual visits. You must make measures to prevent unauthorized access to your information, such as ensuring you are in a private location and disabling any virtual assistant devices. You understand that you waive confidentiality if your personal health information is overheard by another individual.  

Data Security: You acknowledge and consent to the recording and processing of your personal and medical data for the purposes of treatment and service delivery.  We make reasonable efforts to protect your data, but you understand that no electronic transmission is completely secure and there may be risks associated with the technology used.
