Protecting Your Confidentiality with a “No Regret” Standard

Introduction: The Foundation of Trust in Medical Care

Last Updated: 6 Nov 2025

Undergoing a hair restoration journey is a deeply personal decision. At Dr. Bertram Hair Transplant, we believe that your trust and confidentiality are as critical to a “No Regret” experience as the surgical result itself. A clear, stringent privacy policy is not just a legal requirement; it is our ethical pledge to protect your personal and medical information before, during, and long after your treatment.

This document defines how we collect, use, and safeguard everything from your initial inquiry to your surgical details and photographic records, which are used only with your explicit, written consent. By respecting your privacy with uncompromising standards, we uphold the professionalism and trust that allows you to feel secure and respected throughout your journey with us.

1. Who We Are

This Privacy Policy applies to Dr. Bertram Hair Transplant (“we,” “our,” or “us”), located at 6/F, 29 Austin Road, Tsimshatsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong. We are the data controller responsible for your personal information.

2. Information We Collect: A Commitment to Minimal Data

To provide you with world-class care, we collect information that you voluntarily provide through our website forms, consultations, and correspondence. This may include:

  • Personal Identifiers: Name, contact details (email, phone), and address.

  • Medical Information (Sensitive Data): As a core part of our “No Regret” philosophy, we collect detailed medical history, hair loss patterns, and photographic documentation. This sensitive data is treated with the highest level of security and confidentiality and is processed strictly for medical diagnosis and treatment purposes.

  • Technical Data: We may collect non-identifying information such as your IP address, browser type, and device information to analyze site performance and user experience. This statistical data helps us improve our website’s educational content and does not identify you personally.

3. How We Use Your Information: Purpose-Limited and Transparent

The personal information we collect is used exclusively for defined, legitimate purposes:

  • To Provide Medical Services and Fulfill Our Contract: This includes scheduling your consultation, providing a medical diagnosis, performing the agreed-upon procedure, and managing your post-operative care.

  • To Uphold “No Regret” Quality Assurance: Our clinic’s data is used for internal auditing, improving surgical protocols, and training our medical team to ensure consistently high outcomes. Any use of de-identified data for broader research or training is done only with separate, explicit consent.

  • To Communicate with You (With Your Consent): To respond to your inquiries and, if you have opted-in, to provide you with educational information about hair restoration.

  • To Meet Legal and Regulatory Obligations: To comply with Hong Kong healthcare regulations and other legal duties.

4. Disclosure of Information: Your Data Stays With Your Medical Team

A core tenet of our privacy practice is that your personal and medical data is not a commodity. It is disclosed only under strict conditions:

  • Internally: Your data is accessible only to current employees and medical directors of Dr. Bertram Hair Transplant who are directly involved in your care and are bound by strict confidentiality agreements.

  • Legally Required Disclosures: We may disclose information where required by law, such as to comply with a court order, subpoena, or a request from a regulatory body.

  • Protection of Rights: We may share information when we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding potential violations of our policies, suspected fraud, or situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data with any third-party service partners, marketing agencies, or business affiliates.

5. Data Retention: No Longer Than Necessary

We will retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or medical reporting requirements. Our retention periods for patient medical records are defined by Hong Kong’s medical data retention laws and our own internal “No Regret” quality standards, which require long-term follow-up data to validate surgical outcomes.
