Data Protection Notice
Last updated: August 2026
This notice explains how personal data belonging to the patients of clinics using Medoraist is processed under Turkish Personal Data Protection Law no. 6698 (KVKK).
Controller and processor
For patient data the controller is the clinic using the service. Medoraist acts as a processor, on the clinic's behalf and on its instructions.
Personal data processed
To create an appointment only three items are processed: the patient's name, the treatment requested and the appointment time. The phone number comes from the message the patient sent; it is never asked for separately.
National ID numbers, medical history, insurance details and comparable special-category data are never requested by the system, and there is no field in which they could be stored.
Purpose and legal basis
Personal data is processed to fulfil the appointment request the patient started, and to enable communication between clinic and patient.
Processing serves the delivery of a service at the patient's own request and rests on the controller's legitimate interest, provided it does not harm the fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject.
Data minimisation and retention
Long-lived records hold neither the patient's phone number nor their name; the contact identity is stored only as an irreversible cryptographic digest.
Message bodies are deleted permanently the moment a conversation is closed. Conversations that receive no new message for 24 hours close automatically.
Appointment records are deleted 30 days after the appointment date.
Transfers abroad
Data is processed in line with KVKK, in secure data centres held to GDPR standards. To deliver the service, data may be transferred to artificial intelligence and WhatsApp messaging providers.
Rights of the data subject
Under Article 11 of the Law you have the right to learn whether your personal data is being processed, to request information about it, and to ask for its correction or deletion.
To exercise these rights, please contact the clinic providing your care first. The clinic will contact Medoraist in order to meet your request.
