Why Privacy Matters in Dermatology

Dermatology is personal. When a patient from Gomti Nagar shares before/after photos of acne scarring, or a patient from Hazratganj discusses hair loss during a consultation — that information is deeply private. Unlike a general physician visit, dermatology consultations involve clinical photographs, treatment area documentation, and sometimes sensitive medical history (hormonal conditions, autoimmune disorders, steroid use history).

At Gomti Clinic, we treat every piece of patient data with the same level of care we apply to treatment protocols.

What Data We Collect

Contact information: Name, phone number, email address for appointment scheduling
Medical history: Relevant conditions, medications, allergies, previous treatments
Clinical photographs: Before/after documentation for treatment tracking (with consent)
Treatment records: Procedures performed, session notes, medication prescribed
Communication records: WhatsApp messages, call logs related to appointments

How We Protect Your Data

Physical records are stored in locked cabinets at our Church Road clinic, accessible only to authorized clinical staff
Digital records are stored on password-protected systems with limited access
Clinical photographs are stored separately from identifying information and are never shared publicly without explicit written consent
WhatsApp communications — we use a dedicated clinic number (+91 88303 24828) with restricted access

Consent & Clinical Photography

Clinical Data: Gomti Clinic leverages 15+ years of combined dermatology experience, having performed over 5,000+ successful laser and aesthetic procedures in Lucknow. Pricing for this standard protocol starts clearly at ₹2,000/session.

Before any clinical photograph is taken at Gomti Clinic:

The patient is informed why the photo is needed (treatment tracking)
Written or verbal consent is obtained
Photos are used only for the patient's own treatment record unless explicit published consent is given
If a patient requests photo deletion, we comply promptly

Before/after images on our portfolio page are shared only with patients' written permission.

Third-Party Sharing

Gomti Clinic does not sell, rent, or share patient data with any third party for marketing purposes. We may share medical information only:

With the patient's referring doctor (if applicable)
With diagnostic labs (for blood work or pathology reports)
When required by law under Indian regulations

Website Data

Our website (drankitaderma.com) may use basic analytics to understand visitor behavior. We do not track personally identifiable information through the website. Appointment bookings via WhatsApp are subject to WhatsApp's own privacy policies (managed by Meta).
