General Privacy Statement
SeraThealth collects and processes personal information to provide wellness retreat and rehabilitation services tailored for retirees. This policy explains our practices using practical scenarios and examples so service users can understand how their data is used in real cases, such as intake assessments, therapy scheduling, and post-stay follow-ups.
Key Definitions
To make explanations practical, we define terms used in this policy and provide short case examples illustrating each concept. Example scenario: an intake form completed by a retiree before an initial rehabilitation consultation.
What Data We Collect
We collect both data you provide and data collected automatically. To clarify, we present typical data items collected for common scenarios: initial assessment, booking and payments, on-site clinical notes, and follow-up outcome tracking.
Data You Provide Directly
When you book or attend a retreat, you may provide information that we need to deliver care and manage logistics. Below are common items illustrated with short-case examples.
- Identity and contact details: name, date of birth, postal address, phone number, and email. Case: used to confirm a retreat reservation and send arrival instructions.
- Health and medical information: medical history, medications, allergies, mobility assessments, and rehabilitation goals. Case: physiotherapist uses this to design a safe exercise program.
- Payment and billing information: billing address, invoice details, and transaction records (handled by secure payment processors). Case: processing retreat fees and issuing receipts.
- Intake questionnaires and consent forms: signed consent for therapies and data processing choices. Case: consent to share rehabilitation notes with a referring physician.
- Emergency contact and next-of-kin details used for on-site safety and urgent communication. Case: contacting a family member in the event of a sudden medical issue.
- User feedback and outcome surveys collected after stays to evaluate program effectiveness and refine protocols. Case: post-retreat survey used to adjust future therapy plans.
Data Collected Automatically
We also collect data automatically to operate the site and improve services. Examples below are tied to common scenarios such as booking flows, website troubleshooting, and service analysis.
- Log data: IP address, device type, browser, and access times. Case: troubleshooting an appointment booking error reported by a user.
- Cookies and similar trackers used for session management and analytics. Case: remembering language preference during a multi-step booking.
- Usage analytics: pages visited, clicks, and time on site to evaluate service pages and improve clarity. Case: identifying frequent drop-off points in the retreat sign-up flow.
- Performance metrics from telehealth sessions such as connection quality logs (no audio content saved unless explicitly recorded with consent). Case: diagnosing a disrupted teleconsultation.
- Security-related information such as failed login attempts to detect potential abuse. Case: blocking automated malicious activity against booking endpoints.
- Aggregated anonymized data used for internal program evaluation and reporting, without identifying individuals. Case: reviewing average mobility improvement across a cohort.
Data From Third Parties
We may receive data from partner organizations to deliver services, always limited to what is necessary and subject to agreements. Below are typical third-party sources with example use cases.
- Referring healthcare providers: clinical summaries or test results to inform treatment planning. Case: receiving a recent blood test to assess medication safety.
- Payment processors and banks to complete transactions and prevent fraud. Case: verifying a payment for a retreat booking.
- Technology providers for analytics, appointment scheduling, and telehealth platforms. Case: integrating teleconsultation logs to coordinate follow-up care.
How We Use Your Data
We process data to operate services, keep participants safe, and improve programs. Below are purpose statements accompanied by short practical scenarios illustrating typical processing activities.
- To provide booked services such as retreats, rehabilitation sessions, and teleconsultations. Example: scheduling physiotherapy sessions based on intake findings.
- To manage payments, billing, and refunds. Example: issuing an invoice and reconciliation after a retreat stay.
- To ensure on-site safety and medical coordination. Example: sharing allergy information with the kitchen for meal planning.
- To personalize programs and communicate relevant care instructions. Example: adjusting exercise intensity after weekly progress notes.
- To evaluate outcomes and improve services through aggregated analysis. Example: comparing mobility scores before and after a 14-day program to refine protocols.
- To detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and security incidents. Example: contribute anomalous booking patterns that suggest misuse.
- To comply with legal obligations and respond to lawful requests from authorities. Example: providing records in response to a court order where required.
- To send service-related updates and optional marketing communications where consent was given. Example: informing former participants about a new senior balance workshop if they opted in.
Legal Bases for Processing (Illustrative)
We rely on appropriate legal bases for processing personal data, depending on the purpose. The selected basis reflects the practical need for the activity—for example, contract performance for bookings or consent for marketing.
- Performance of a contract: processing necessary to fulfill retreat bookings and provide rehabilitation services.
- Consent: where you explicitly opt in to marketing communications or optional data collection beyond core services.
- Legal obligation: processing required to comply with laws or official contribute.
- Legitimate interests: limited processing necessary for safety, fraud prevention, and service improvement after balancing user rights.
Data Subject Rights (Illustrative Guidance)
Although SeraThealth operates in Malaysia, we recognize internationally accepted privacy protections. The following sections explain rights commonly referenced in international frameworks, illustrated with practical steps for exercising them.
- Right to access: you can request a copy of personal data we hold about you. Example: requesting your intake form and rehabilitation notes to share with another provider.
- Right to rectification: you may ask us to correct inaccurate data. Example: updating a medication list after a physician changes prescriptions.
- Right to erasure: subject to legal and service requirements, you may request deletion of data. Example: asking to remove marketing contact details while retaining clinical records required for safety.
- Right to restriction of processing: you may ask to limit certain uses of your data. Example: pausing data use for secondary research while still receiving care.
- Right to data portability: where technically feasible, we can provide personal data in a structured, commonly used format. Example: exporting your appointment history for transfer to another provider.
- Right to object: you can object to certain processing, such as direct marketing, and we will respect opt-outs in line with applicable law.
When We Share Your Data
We share personal data only as needed to provide services or comply with legal obligations. Each sharing scenario has safeguards and a specific, documented purpose.
- Healthcare partners and consultants for coordinated care and treatment planning.
- Payment processors and banks to complete and reconcile payments.
- Third-party service providers such as telehealth platforms and booking systems under contractual terms restricting use.
- Legal or regulatory authorities when required by law or court orders.
- Aggregated and anonymized data shared with researchers or partners to improve therapies, without personal identifiers.
- Family members or nominated contacts when you have provided consent or in emergency situations for safety.
International Data Transfers
Some service providers and partners may be located outside Malaysia. Transfers are limited to necessary recipients and conducted with appropriate protections. Example: a telehealth vendor hosting video logs in a neighboring jurisdiction to support remote consultations.
We implement safeguards such as contractual data protection terms, vendor assessments, encryption of data in transit, and limiting transferred data to the minimum required for the service.
Data Retention
Retention periods are based on operational needs, clinical safety, and legal requirements. Below are illustrative retention rules with practical case explanations to help users understand why data is kept.
Account information and core service records are retained for a period necessary to provide ongoing care and for statutory record-keeping, typically several years following the last service interaction to support continuity and safety.
Communications such as appointment confirmations and key messages are retained for a period required for billing and audit trails, after which they are securely deleted unless needed for a legitimate reason.
System logs and security records are kept for a limited period to detect and contribute incidents, then archived or deleted according to our internal retention schedule.
When data is no longer required, it is deleted or anonymized. Example: anonymized outcome data may be retained for long-term program evaluation while personal identifiers are removed.
Security Measures
We apply technical and organizational measures to protect personal data, tailored to the sensitivity of the information and informed by practical risk assessments. Example: clinical notes are stored separately from public profiles and accessed only by authorized clinicians.
- Encryption of data in transit and at rest where applicable to protect confidentiality.
- Access controls and role-based permissions restricting data access to authorized staff only.
- Regular vendor security assessments, staff training on data handling, and incident response procedures.
