How we handle the personal information you give us through this website, prepared under Ghana's Data Protection Act, 2012 (Act 843).
Last updated 28 September 2026
Official Town Community Hospital collects the minimum information needed to answer your enquiry and arrange your care. This page sets out exactly what that is. If anything here is unclear, please contact us rather than guessing.
Who we are
Official Town Community Hospital is a healthcare provider located at Official Town, opposite Kofi Nimo Park, Ashaiman, Greater Accra, Ghana. When you contact us through this website we handle your personal information on our own behalf as the data controller.
This policy explains what we collect, why we collect it, how long we keep it and what rights you have over it.
What we collect
This website does not ask you to create an account, and it does not run advertising or third-party tracking. The only personal information we collect is what you choose to type into one of our forms.
- Booking requests: your name, phone number, optional email address, the service you are interested in, and any preferred date or time you choose. You may also add a free-text note describing your concern.
- Contact messages: your name, phone number, email address, the subject you select, and your message.
- Technical information: our web server records standard request logs such as your IP address, browser type and the pages you visit, for the purpose of keeping the site secure and diagnosing faults. These logs are not combined with the information you submit through a form.
Why we use it
We use the information you submit for one purpose: to contact you and arrange or answer your enquiry. Specifically, we use your phone number and email address to reply to you, and your booking preferences to schedule your visit.
We do not use your information for marketing, we do not sell it, and we do not pass it to advertisers. We do not use automated decision-making or profiling.
Legal basis for processing
We process this information because we need it to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract of care, and because we have a legal obligation to keep records of enquiries. This is consent and legitimate interest under Ghana's Data Protection Act, 2012 (Act 843).
Where you send information about someone else's health, we ask that you have their agreement to do so.
How long we keep it
Enquiries that do not lead to treatment are deleted once they have been dealt with and no longer have a reason to be kept. Information that forms part of your clinical record is retained for the period required by Ghanaian law and professional standards, which is separate from the enquiry itself.
Who else can see it
Our website content is managed in Sanity, a third-party content platform. Form submissions are stored in our Sanity project, which is operated by us and is not made public. Our email and web hosting providers process data on our behalf under contract.
The contact page embeds a Google map. Loading it causes Google to receive your request, so Google may set its own cookies. We have not enabled advertising cookies on this site.
We will also disclose your information if we are legally required to do so, for example by a court order or the Data Protection Commission.
Your rights
Subject to the Act, you have the right to ask us what personal information we hold about you, to have inaccurate information corrected, to have your information deleted in circumstances the law allows, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to withdraw consent you have given.
To exercise any of these rights, email us or call the number below. We aim to respond within 30 days. You also have the right to complain to the Data Protection Commission of Ghana if you are not satisfied with how we have handled your request.
Keeping this site secure
The site is served over encrypted HTTPS, so information you submit is protected in transit. Access to submitted enquiries is limited to the hospital staff who need it to respond to you.
No system is perfectly secure. If a breach affects your information we will tell you and the Data Protection Commission as the Act requires.
Changes to this policy
We may update this page when the site or the law changes. The date at the top always reflects the current version.
