Introduction

This website, drterencegoh.com, is operated on behalf of Dr Terence Goh, a plastic surgeon practising with AZATACA Plastic Surgery Pte. Ltd. (“we,” “us,” “our,” “the Practice,” or “AZATACA”). We are committed to protecting the personal data of our patients, website visitors, and enquirers in accordance with the Personal Data Protection Act 2012 (“PDPA”) and other applicable healthcare regulations in Singapore, including the Healthcare Services Act and the Private Hospitals and Medical Clinics Act.

This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect, how we use it, who we may share it with, and the choices available to you. By using this website or engaging Dr Goh or AZATACA Plastic Surgery’s clinical services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Policy.

What Personal Data We Collect

Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect the following categories of personal data.

• Identification details, such as your name, NRIC or passport number, date of birth, and contact information.
• Health and medical information, including your medical history, diagnosis, clinical photographs taken for consultation or surgical planning purposes, treatment records, and clinical notes related to your care under Dr Goh or the wider AZATACA surgical team.
• Enquiry details submitted through our online enquiry form, email, phone, or WhatsApp.
• Technical data collected through our website, such as IP address, browser type, and browsing behaviour, typically gathered through cookies.

We collect NRIC or other national identification numbers only where required by law or necessary to accurately identify a patient for clinical purposes. Clinical photographs are treated as sensitive health information and are handled with the same safeguards as your medical records.

How We Use Your Personal Data

Personal data collected by the Practice may be used to:

• Provide consultation, surgical planning, treatment, and follow-up care across our aesthetic and reconstructive procedures.
• Prepare and review clinical or simulation imagery, such as 3D visualisation tools, where used as part of your consultation.
• Coordinate care with hospitals, anaesthetists, laboratories, and allied health providers involved in your treatment.
• Process billing, insurance claims, and payment matters.
• Respond to enquiries submitted through our website, phone, or messaging channels.
• Maintain medical records in line with regulatory retention requirements.
• Improve our website and services, where permitted.
• Comply with legal and regulatory obligations, including reporting requirements under applicable health legislation.

We will only use your personal data for purposes that a reasonable person would consider appropriate in the circumstances, and for which we have obtained consent, unless an exception under the PDPA applies.

Consent

By providing your personal data to us, whether in person, over the phone, through our website, or via messaging channels, you consent to our collection, use, and disclosure of that data for the purposes described in this Policy. You may withdraw consent at any time by contacting our Data Protection Officer, subject to legal or contractual restrictions. Withdrawing consent may affect our ability to continue providing certain services to you, and we will explain the likely consequences before acting on your request.

Disclosure of Personal Data

We do not sell personal data. We may disclose personal data to third parties in limited circumstances, such as:

• Hospitals and specialist centres where our clinics are located, including Royal Square Medical Centre (Novena) and Gleneagles Medical Centre.
• Other surgeons, anaesthetists, or allied health professionals involved in your care.
• Insurance providers, for claims processing.
• Regulatory bodies, where required under Singapore healthcare legislation.
• Service providers who support our clinic operations, such as IT, appointment booking, and administrative vendors, under confidentiality obligations.
• Third-party consultation tools, such as 3D imaging or simulation platforms, used solely to support your treatment planning and only with your consent.

Where personal data is transferred outside Singapore, we take reasonable steps to ensure it receives a standard of protection comparable to that required under the PDPA.

Data Protection and Security

We adopt appropriate administrative, physical, and technical measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, collection, use, disclosure, or similar risks. These measures may include restricted access controls, secure storage of physical and digital records, and regular reviews of our data protection practices. While we take reasonable care to safeguard personal data, no method of transmission or storage can be guaranteed as completely secure.

Retention of Personal Data

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required under applicable healthcare recordkeeping regulations. Medical records, including clinical photographs, are generally retained for the minimum period required by law, after which they are securely destroyed or anonymised.

Access and Correction Requests

You may request access to, or correction of, your personal data held by us. To make such a request, please contact our Data Protection Officer using the details below. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe and may verify your identity before processing your request. Certain requests may be declined where permitted under the PDPA, such as where disclosure could reasonably be expected to threaten the safety of another individual.
