Where required, we will seek appropriate consent or another valid legal basis before collecting or sharing sensitive healthcare information.

Third-party recipients may have their own legal responsibilities and privacy practices.
06. International Data Transfers
CareBridgePlus supports individuals living in different countries, including Sri Lanka and overseas.
Facilitating international healthcare connections may require transferring relevant information across national borders.
Where international transfers occur, we will take measures required by applicable privacy laws, including appropriate safeguards, notices, or consent where necessary.
Privacy protections may differ between jurisdictions.
07. Data Security
We aim to use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information we handle.
These may include access restrictions, secure communication methods, software maintenance, and controls designed to prevent unauthorized access.
No internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.
If you believe your information has been compromised, please contact us promptly.
08. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, subject to applicable legal, accounting, contractual, and recordkeeping requirements.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the services involved.
When information is no longer required, we will take appropriate steps to delete, anonymize, or otherwise securely dispose of it.
09. Cookies and Website Analytics
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies for functionality, security, preferences, and analytics.
