Privacy Policy

• This is a public information website. It does not currently provide online booking, patient accounts, medical forms, or a public email contact.
• Do not submit symptoms, diagnoses, health-card details, prescription information, or other personal medical information through this website or social-media channels. Please call the clinic at (403) 764-1010.
• Non-essential analytics and advertising technologies must remain blocked until a visitor chooses to allow them. Refusing them must not prevent access to clinic information.
• Patient health records and clinical communications are handled separately under Alberta’s Health Information Act and the clinic’s clinical privacy procedures.

This policy applies to information handled through the Peoples Medical Clinic public website. It does not replace the clinic’s notices and procedures for patient health records, medical care, pharmacy records, employment information, or telephone communications.

Information you choose to provide

The website does not currently include appointment, contact, prescription, health-history, or patient-portal forms. If you call the clinic, information collected during the call is handled under the clinic’s applicable clinical and business procedures rather than by the website analytics described here.

Information collected automatically, with consent where required

Depending on your cookie choices and the technologies enabled, the website and its service providers may process:

• Internet Protocol address and approximate location derived from it
• Browser, device, operating-system, and language information
• Pages viewed, referring page, date, time, and visit duration
• Links, buttons, and other website interactions
• Cookie identifiers, advertising identifiers, and similar online identifiers
• Advertising and conversion events, such as whether a clinic advertisement led to a website visit or telephone-button selection

We do not intend to use these tools to collect the content of telephone calls or personal medical information.

We may use permitted website information to:

• Operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the website
• Understand which pages and clinic information are useful
• Measure website and advertising performance
• Understand whether an advertisement resulted in a website interaction
• Maintain records of privacy choices
• Meet legal, regulatory, security, and accountability requirements

We will not require consent to analytics or advertising as a condition of viewing core clinic information.

Our intended implementation is prior opt-in consent: non-essential analytics and advertising tags do not load or transmit data until you choose to allow the relevant category.

The website’s cookie controls should allow you to:

• Accept all optional technologies
• Reject all non-essential technologies
• Select analytics and advertising categories separately
• Reopen Cookie Settings and withdraw or change your choice at any time

Withdrawing consent applies going forward and does not affect processing that was lawful before withdrawal. You can also delete or block cookies in your browser. Blocking essential technologies may affect limited website functions; rejecting analytics and advertising must not prevent access to public clinic information.

Additional controls are available through:

• Google Privacy Policy
• Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on
• Google My Ad Center
• Meta Privacy Policy
• Meta Ad Preferences
• Snap Privacy Policy

Peoples Medical Clinic does not intend to send symptoms, diagnoses, medications, health-card details, appointment reasons, clinical communications, or other patient health information to Google, Meta, Snap, or other advertising and analytics providers.

Advertising and analytics tags must not be placed on any future page, form, portal, or workflow that collects or displays patient health information unless the clinic completes a separate privacy, security, vendor, consent, and legal review and implements appropriate safeguards.

For information about access to or correction of patient health records, please contact the clinic. Patient health information is governed by Alberta’s Health Information Act where applicable.

Subject to applicable law, you may ask about personal information controlled by Peoples Medical Clinic, request access or correction, or withdraw consent to optional website tracking.

Please do not include personal medical details in a privacy inquiry sent through public or social-media channels. The clinic does not currently publish a privacy email address or website contact form.

You may also learn about privacy rights or complaint processes from the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Alberta or the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, depending on which law applies.

The website provides general clinic information for individuals and families. We do not knowingly use the website’s advertising technologies to profile children under 13. A parent or guardian should make privacy choices for a child who cannot provide meaningful consent.

We may update this policy when website features, service providers, laws, or clinic practices change. Material changes to optional collection, use, or disclosure require updated notice and consent where applicable. The published page will show its effective date and latest revision date.
