Data processed via contact channels

Phone, WhatsApp and e-mail should be used only for administrative purposes such as appointments and facility/location. When you use them, contact data such as your name, phone number or e-mail address may be processed to answer that request. Test results, ID documents, photos or health data should not be sent through these channels.

WhatsApp and phone are only for appointments and administrative information such as facility/location. Do not send test results, ID documents, photos or special-category health data. No diagnosis or treatment advice is given by message. In an emergency call 112 or go to the nearest emergency department.

WhatsApp (Meta) and e-mail providers process data under their own terms when you choose to use them.

Transfers

Your data is not shared with third parties for marketing. It may be disclosed to competent authorities where required by law. Optional services you consent to (Google Analytics 4, YouTube) may process data on servers abroad; they are not loaded without your consent.

Retention and deletion

Data is kept only as long as required by the purpose of processing or by law, and is then deleted, destroyed or anonymised in line with the applicable Turkish regulation.

Your rights

You may request information about, access, rectification, erasure or restriction of your data, object to processing and claim compensation for damage. Send requests to atesdr@yahoo.com; do not attach test results or health data.

Platform limitation

The site is served by a hosting platform that may inject a technical measurement script not contained in the project code. It may run before a cookie choice is made and cannot be controlled from this site's preference panel. Collected fields, retention and opt-out options are being verified with the platform provider; no definitive statement is made until verified.
