# Patient

Patients are the people that book in for appointments.

When you're working with patient information, make sure you abide by the relevant regulations for security and privacy.

A couple of fields in the patient record deserve special consideration:

`accepted_privacy_policy` stores the patient's consent to the business's own privacy policy. Values can be null (no response), true (accepted) or false (rejected). Please consider how this may affect you storing information on this patient.

`time_zone` will contain a valid IANA time zone identifier if the patient's time zone has been set, or null if it hasn't. It can be set via the API, in which case it accepts IANA time zone identifiers.
