Your personal data are processed for the purposes of providing medical diagnosis, treatment and healthcare services, managing appointment processes, creating patient records, and fulfilling legal obligations arising from applicable legislation.

Furthermore, your health data may be processed without your explicit consent under Article 6/3 of the KVKK by healthcare professionals under a duty of confidentiality for the purposes of protecting public health, preventive medicine, medical diagnosis, treatment and healthcare services.

Your health data are stored only by authorized physicians and healthcare personnel using secure systems and are not processed for any purpose unrelated to medical necessity. The principle of data minimization is strictly observed, and only information necessary for treatment is collected and retained.
Your personal data may be transferred, where required by applicable legislation, to the Ministry of Health, the Social Security Institution and other authorized public authorities in order to fulfill legal obligations.
Data may also be shared with contracted laboratories and diagnostic imaging centers as part of medical diagnosis and treatment processes. Such transfers are carried out in accordance with Article 8 of the KVKK with appropriate technical and administrative safeguards.
Personal data may also be disclosed to judicial authorities or law enforcement agencies where legally required. Apart from these situations, your personal data are never transferred to third parties or commercial organizations for marketing purposes. Appropriate data processing agreements and security measures are implemented during all data transfers.
