Last updated: 21 July 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Dr. Tarun Sharma (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards your information when you use the Breathe Ease website and related Services, including appointment booking, the patient portal, and teleconsultation. We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your personal and health information responsibly, in line with applicable Indian law, including the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.

- Identity & contact data: your name, mobile number, email address, age, and postal address.
- Health information: the reason for your visit, symptoms you describe, medical documents you upload, and prescriptions issued to you.
- Appointment data: the date, time, and type of appointment (in-person or online) and its status.
- Verification data: your mobile number is verified using a one-time password (OTP) to secure access to your records.
- Technical data: basic information your browser sends automatically, and session data needed to keep you signed in.
2.How We Use Your Information

3.Service Providers We Rely On
We use trusted third-party providers to deliver the Services. Your data is shared with them only to the extent necessary to perform these functions:
- Google Firebase — authentication, database, and secure file storage for your records and uploaded documents.
- MSG91 — sending SMS, including verification codes and notifications.

4.Legal Basis & Consent
We process your information based on your consent (given when you verify your number and submit your details), to provide the care and services you request, and to meet our legal obligations. You may withdraw consent at any time by contacting us, though this may limit our ability to provide certain Services.
5.Data Retention
We retain your personal and health information for as long as necessary to provide the Services, maintain medical records as required by applicable law and professional guidelines, and resolve disputes. When information is no longer required, we take reasonable steps to delete or anonymise it.
6.Data Security
We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you.
- Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
- Request deletion of your information, subject to record-keeping obligations.
- Withdraw consent to further processing.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details below. We may need to verify your identity before acting on your request.
8.Children's Privacy
The portal is intended for use by adults. Where care is provided to a minor, their information must be submitted and managed by a parent or legal guardian, who is responsible for the accuracy of that information and for consenting on the child’s behalf.
