Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains what information this website collects, why it is collected, and how it is handled. It applies to ankitparakh.com, the website of Dr. Ankit Parakh, Senior Consultant Pediatric Pulmonologist, Allergy & Sleep Specialist, practising in Delhi NCR, India.
This website is an information and enquiry website. It is not a patient portal and not a medical records system. No clinical records, test results, prescriptions or medical histories are stored on this website.
Information We Collect
Information you give us
The only personal information this website collects is what you type into an enquiry or appointment form. Those forms ask for:
- Your name
- Your email address
- Your phone number
- Any message or question you choose to write
Please do not send detailed clinical information, reports or images through the website forms. Bring those to your consultation instead.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, this site uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the pages — for example which articles are read most, and whether the site works properly on phones. Google Analytics collects technical information such as the pages visited, approximate location derived from your IP address, the type of device and browser used, and how you arrived at the site.
This information is aggregated and is not used to identify you personally.
How Your Information Is Used
- To reply to your enquiry and, where you have asked for one, to arrange an appointment
- To answer questions about clinic locations, timings and services
- To understand how the website is used, so that the information on it can be improved
Your details are not sold, rented or traded. They are not used for advertising, and they are not shared with third parties for marketing.
Cookies
Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser. This site uses:
- Essential cookies, which WordPress sets so that pages load and forms work correctly.
- Analytics cookies, set by Google Analytics, to measure how the site is used.
You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking analytics cookies does not affect your ability to use the site or to send an enquiry.
Who Else Can See Your Information
Enquiries submitted through the website are received by Dr. Ankit Parakh’s clinic team, who use them only to respond to you.
Two service providers process information on our behalf:
- Our web hosting provider, which stores the website and its form submissions.
- Google (Google Analytics), which processes the usage data described above.
We may also disclose information where we are required to do so by law.
Keeping Your Information
Enquiry and appointment-request details are kept only for as long as they are needed to respond to you and to maintain the clinic’s ordinary administrative records, and are deleted when no longer required.
Clinical records created during an actual consultation are held separately by the clinic or hospital where you are seen, under the record-keeping rules that apply to medical practice in India. They are not held on this website.
Your Rights
Under India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, you may ask us to:
- Tell you what personal information about you we hold
- Correct information that is wrong or incomplete
- Delete information we no longer need to keep
- Withdraw a consent you previously gave
To make any of these requests, contact us using the details below.
Children’s Privacy
This is a paediatric practice, so enquiries are usually sent by a parent or guardian about a child. Please send those enquiries yourself rather than asking your child to. We do not knowingly collect information directly from children.
External Links
Some pages link to other websites, including YouTube videos and medical reference sources. This policy does not cover those websites, and we are not responsible for how they handle your information.
Changes to This Policy
If this policy changes, the updated version will be published on this page.
Medical Disclaimer
The information on this website is for general education. It is not a substitute for a consultation, examination, diagnosis or prescription. For advice about your own child, please book an appointment.
