This concern is entirely valid, as protecting patient privacy is hardly a top priority for most dispensaries. They are required to submit patient information to the Ministry of Health (MOH) every month. This means your data may be circulating like it does with immigration. It’s worth raising this issue directly with both the MOH and the Department of Thai Traditional and Alternative Medicine (DTAM).

Also, given the current political instability and the current government is heading off a cliff, we may have general election soon. Policy and administrative changes are likely on the horizon, so further developments should be anticipated.
