Is GenderGP a confidential service?
When you register with our service, your privacy is our top priority. We strictly adhere to confidentiality protocols, ensuring that your information is shared with no one except you (unless an urgent or emergency situation arises that necessitates disclosure).
In such rare emergency instances, our primary concern is safety — yours and others. Therefore, we may find it necessary to share your details with other medical professionals or services only if withholding this information could pose a risk to your well-being or to the safety of another person. This decision is not taken lightly and is guided by professional ethical standards and legal obligations to prevent harm.
