We, the Electronic Health Record Office under the Food and Health Bureau of HKSARG, may
collect your personal information including name, date of birth, gender, identity document number,
and contact information (e.g. correspondence address, telephone number(s) and email address) if
you are a healthcare recipient.
We may collect the personal information of you and the healthcare recipient concerned, including
name, identity document number, contact information (e.g. correspondence address, telephone
number(s) and email address) and details of your relationship with the healthcare recipient, if you
are a substitute decision maker (if applicable) applying for the healthcare recipient in relation to
matters of his/her registration and use of the Electronic Health Record Sharing System (eHRSS).
We may also receive information about you from other healthcare recipients, when they register
you as their authorised person or contact person in eHRSS and your personal information including
name and contact information (e.g. correspondence address, telephone number(s) and email
address) will be collected.
The personal data and information we collect from you is for your application and registration and
use of eHRSS; or for a healthcare recipient to apply and register to eHRSS with you as his/her
substitute decision maker, authorised person, or a contact person, and related matters under the
Electronic Health Record Sharing System Ordinance (Cap 625) (eHRSSO). Such matters include
but are not limited to the following: the giving of and management of joining consent and/or sharing
consent, updating of information in eHRSS, receipt of eHRSS notifications, withdrawal from
eHRSS.
The health information of the registered healthcare recipient will be shared among healthcare
providers, who have obtained sharing consent from that registered healthcare recipient or his/her
substitute decision maker, via eHRSS. We may collect the personal information of the healthcare
recipient concerned, including name, date of birth, gender and identity document number, and
details of your relationship with the healthcare recipient, if you are caregiver (if applicable) of the
healthcare recipient, in relation to matters of the use of 醫健通 eHealth App. The other caregiver(s)
(if applicable) of the healthcare recipient concerned can also review your name and details of the
access(es) you made to the healthcare recipient's eHR account via 醫健通 eHealth App.
Using your personal information in eHRSS for direct marketing is an offence.
