Requests for Records

Upon request, we will inform you of the existence, use and disclosure of your personal information. We will provide access to the information except in circumstances proscribed by the federal Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) or an applicable provincial privacy law which has been declared substantially similar. For example, access may not be provided when doing so would reveal personal information about a third party or could reasonably be expected to threaten the life or security of another individual or where disclosure would reveal confidential commercial information.

Requesting Personal Information to be Sent to Others

Your personal information may be sent to others only if the request is accompanied by your written consent, or as directed by law. Your consent must direct Homewood Health specifically to release information, be recently signed by yourself and your signature be witnessed, and the consent must clearly identify to whom the information is to be released. To protect your privacy, Homewood Health will only release information sufficient to fulfill the request and you may limit or withdraw your consent at any time. Disclosures which have already occurred cannot be rescinded or limited. We may request that you confirm or renew your consent for subsequent requests in order to ensure that your circumstances have not changed.

To request that we provide your information to others, complete, sign and return the witnessed  Consent to the Disclosure of Personal Information to Others Form.
