2. What data do we process?
The Site has no registration, user account, message or booking form; we do not collect your name, phone number, email or health information. When you visit, the server may automatically record technical data such as IP address, date and time of access, the page visited, browser and device type, operating system and referring address.
If you call us or write on WhatsApp, the information you send (your number, your message) reaches us through that channel. Health information is special-category personal data; please share it only when necessary and as part of the examination process, and check with us before sending medical documents via WhatsApp.
3. Purposes and legal bases
Technical records are processed to keep the Site secure and running, to detect errors and abuse and to meet legal obligations (such as access-log retention under Law No. 5651). Legal bases: KVKK Art. 5/2(ç) compliance with a legal obligation and Art. 5/2(f) the legitimate interests of the controller.
If you contact us by phone or WhatsApp, your message is processed to answer your appointment or information request, to the extent necessary for that purpose and, where required, on the basis of your explicit consent.
4. Cookies and third-party content
The Site itself uses no tracking, advertising or analytics cookies. No cookie that is not strictly necessary is set without your consent. If visitor statistics (analytics) are added later, this notice will be updated and your consent obtained where required.
Google Maps is embedded on some pages; when the map loads, Google may receive information from your browser and may use cookies. YouTube videos are not loaded until you click to play; once you play one, YouTube’s connections (privacy-enhanced mode) come into effect. The privacy policies of those services apply.
5. Recipients of data
Technical records may be shared with our hosting, domain and security/infrastructure providers and with legally authorized public bodies. When you use services such as Google (Maps, YouTube), Meta (WhatsApp) and DoktorTakvimi, your data is processed by those services under their own responsibility, and their servers may be located abroad.
6. Retention
Technical records are kept for the period required by the relevant legislation, or if none is specified for as long as the purpose requires, and are then deleted, destroyed or anonymized.
7. Data security
The Site is served over an encrypted connection (HTTPS) and uses HSTS, a content security policy (CSP) and similar browser security headers. Server access is restricted and systems are updated regularly. Even so, no transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
