Privacy Policy

1. Introduction & Who We Are

Welcome to Mayflower Clinic (accessible at https://mayflowerclinic.in). Our clinic encompasses two highly specialized departments: the Fetal Medicine department led by Dr. Kunda Shahane, and the Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery department led by Dr. Pawan Shahane.

Because we deal with highly sensitive genetic data, prenatal health information, and cosmetic surgical records, we hold our data privacy standards to the absolute highest medical and legal thresholds. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard both your digital website data and your physical medical records.

2. Medical Data & Clinical Confidentiality

When you register as a patient at Mayflower Clinic, we collect Protected Health Information (PHI) necessary to provide expert medical care. This includes your medical history, ultrasound imaging, blood test results, genetic screenings, and surgical records. We handle this data with strict adherence to specific legal protocols:

• Fetal Medicine (PCPNDT Act Compliance): Mayflower Clinic strictly adheres to the Pre-Conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques (PCPNDT) Act, 1994. Under no circumstances will the sex of the fetus be determined, recorded, or disclosed. All fetal anomaly and genetic screening results are maintained under strict clinical confidentiality and shared only with the patient and their referring physician.
• Plastic Surgery (Photographic Consent): Clinical "before and after" photographs are a standard part of surgical planning and medical record-keeping. However, these images are kept strictly confidential. No photograph or identifying surgical outcome will ever be used for marketing, website display, or social media without your explicit, separate, and written signed consent.

Visitors are advised not to upload images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) to public comment sections.

4. Embedded Content from Other Websites

Pages on this site frequently include embedded educational content, particularly YouTube videos featuring Dr. Kunda Shahane or Dr. Pawan Shahane. Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited that other website. These external websites (like YouTube or Google) may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content.

5. Who We Share Your Data With

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal or medical data to third parties. Your data is only shared under the following strict conditions:

• Medical Collaboration: With your consent, we share your diagnostic reports and care plans with your primary referring Obstetrician or collaborative medical specialists involved directly in your care.
• Diagnostic Laboratories: To process genetic tests (NIPT, CVS, Dual Marker) or routine bloodwork, necessary clinical samples and identifying information are securely sent to our accredited partner laboratories.
• Legal Requirements: We will disclose information if required to comply with Indian Medical Council guidelines, PCPNDT regulatory audits, or legally binding court orders.

6. How Long We Retain Your Data

We retain your data based on the nature of the information:

• Medical Records: Physical and electronic medical records, ultrasound logs, and surgical files are retained for the legally mandated duration as specified by the Medical Council of India (MCI) and relevant state health authorities.
• Website Data: If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely for automated follow-up approval. Analytical data is routinely purged.
