Privacy Policy
Last updated: 18 October 2026
About this website
This privacy policy describes how information is handled through drericksilva.com, the professional website of Dr. Erick Ramon Silva Bermudez, based in Qatar.
This policy covers this website. It does not cover medical records, appointment systems or services operated by Alfardan Medical with Northwestern Medicine (AMNM) or other external providers.
Information you provide
This website does not currently offer an on-site contact form, patient registration or appointment submission form.
If you contact us by email, we receive the information you choose to include and use it to respond to your enquiry. Please avoid sending medical records, identification documents or other sensitive information to the website’s privacy contact.
Clinical enquiries and appointments should be directed to the healthcare provider through its designated channels.
Hosting and website operation
This website is hosted on Framer. Delivering and operating the website involves processing technical information, such as connection and browser information.
Framer also provides built-in website statistics. According to Framer, these statistics do not use cookies or persistent visitor identifiers. They are separate from the optional Google Analytics described below.
Further information is available in Framer’s Privacy Statement:
Optional Google Analytics
With your permission, this website uses Google Analytics 4 to understand page visits and interactions, including clicks on appointment and contact links.
Analytics information may include the pages visited, referring website, browser and device information, approximate location and interaction events.
Google Analytics is loaded only after you select “Accept analytics”. Selecting “Reject analytics” allows you to continue using the website without activating Google Analytics.
An appointment-link click indicates that a visitor opened an external booking or provider page; it does not confirm that an appointment was completed.
For information about Google’s data practices, see:
Cookies and your choices
After you accept analytics, Google Analytics uses cookies such as _ga and _ga_STC4WHRK8R to distinguish browsers and maintain analytics session information.
Your acceptance or rejection is saved in your browser’s local storage so that your choice can be remembered between pages and visits. This preference is separate from Google Analytics cookies. Clearing your browser’s site data removes the saved preference.
You can change your choice at any time using “Cookie settings”. If you withdraw acceptance, this website stops further Google Analytics collection and removes the accessible Google Analytics cookies associated with this website.
Withdrawal does not automatically erase information already collected.
External links and contact services
This website includes links to AMNM, WhatsApp, Google Maps and social media platforms, as well as email and telephone links.
Following an external link or using a contact service takes you to a service governed by its own privacy practices. Information you submit to AMNM is handled by AMNM under its applicable policies.
The privacy contact for this website is not an appointment booking service.
Retention and processing locations
Different retention arrangements apply to correspondence, hosting information and analytics data. Analytics retention depends on the Google Analytics property settings; providers also apply their own retention policies.
Service providers may process information outside Qatar. Their privacy information explains their processing arrangements.
Your privacy requests
Requests relating to clinical records or appointments held by AMNM should be addressed directly to AMNM.
Updates
This policy may be updated when the website’s features or data practices change. The revision date will be shown at the top of this page.
