Your health records deserve the highest level of protection. We've implemented multiple layers of security to ensure your data remains confidential and protected from unauthorised access.
As the only dental centre in Kenya certified under both ODPC (Office of the Data Protection Commissioner) and ISO 27001 standards, we maintain security protocols that exceed local requirements and match international best practices.
We respect your autonomy and control over your personal information. Under Kenya's Data Protection Act and our enhanced privacy standards, you have specific rights regarding your health data:
Right to Access
Request copies of your complete dental records in digital or physical format within 7 days—faster than the 30days required by law.
Right to Rectification
Request corrections to any inaccurate information in your health records with immediate processing.
Right to Restriction
Limit how we use your data while still receiving essential care and treatment communications.
We also uphold your right to data portability, allowing seamless transfer of records should you require treatment while travelling internationally—a service particularly valued by our diplomatic and expatriate patients.
We understand that discretion is paramount for our clientele. Our patient data protection policy strictly limits data sharing to what is necessary for your care:
Unlike many practices, we never share your data with marketing companies, research organisations, or other third parties without your explicit, informed consent. For diplomatic personnel and public figures, we offer enhanced confidentiality protocols with additional safeguards.
We maintain your records for the period necessary to provide ongoing care while complying with legal requirements. Our data retention policy balances your right to continuous,informed treatment with your right to privacy:
When records reach the end of their retention period, they are destroyed using certified methods that prevent any possibility of reconstruction or unauthorised access.
Our UK-trained periodontist has implemented data protection standards that reflect international best practices. We regularly benchmark our patient data protection policy against:
This dual-standard approach ensures that whether you're a local resident or an international diplomat, your data receives protection that meets the highest global benchmarks.
