Such access shall be governed by confidentiality obligations and internal controls.
5.1. Consultation Documentation
Consultations may be documented through written notes, electronic medical records, and/or audio-video recording at the Company's or Practitioner's discretion.
Current Practice - No Video Recording:
To respect patient privacy and comfort, particularly given the sensitive nature of relationship and sexual health matters, inticure currently does NOT record consultations.
Instead, practitioners maintain detailed written consultation notes and electronic medical records per applicable medical record-keeping requirements including:
- Patient identification
- Date and time of consultation
- Chief complaint and history
- Clinical assessment and diagnosis
- Treatment recommendations and prescriptions
- Follow-up plan
Future Recording Policy:

I acknowledge that:
- (a) The Practitioner will maintain detailed written consultation notes documenting the session
- (b) These notes form part of my medical record

- (d) Medical records are retained per applicable retention requirements (minimum 3 years)
5.3. Video Requirement
I understand that unless expressly designated audio-only or chat-only, Practitioner shall conduct Consultation with video enabled for proper clinical assessment and transparency.
This video requirement does NOT mean the consultation will be recorded - it means both patient and practitioner should have cameras on during the live session.
5.4. Documentation Tools
I consent to Practitioners using note-taking software, transcription tools, or electronic health record systems to document the Consultation, provided such tools comply with the Privacy Policy.
5.5. Google Meet Processing
- (a) I acknowledge video consultations use Google Meet, requiring data processing on international servers.
- (b) I understand this is technically necessary for service delivery.
- (c) I expressly consent to such processing.
- (d) I understand that while Google Meet temporarily processes the video connection, the Company does NOT record the consultation.
- (e) I waive claims related to international data transfer via Google Meet.
