Personal Data Protection (INAI): Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how professionals handling client health records can use this legal framework to protect patient confidentiality and ensure compliance.
This framework provides the legal rules and protections for handling sensitive information within your professional practice.
Who it's for
This is for any professional who handles the health records or private information of their clients.
What you get
You receive a legal framework designed to protect the confidentiality of the information your clients share with you. This helps ensure that sensitive health data is handled according to national standards.
What it costs you
There is no financial cost to follow these regulations. However, you will need to invest time into drafting a formal privacy notice (known locally as an Aviso de privacidad) for your clients to read.
The catch to know
It is not enough to simply have a policy in place; you must ensure that every patient has a physical or digital copy of the privacy notice and that they sign it.
How to apply
- Draft a formal privacy notice that explains how you use and protect client data.
- Prepare a way for clients to sign this notice, either in person or digitally.
- Provide the notice to every client before or during their first session.
