Legal
Privacy, plainly.
Medicine runs on trust, and so does this page. Here is what we know about you, why we know it, and how to make us forget it.
What this site collects
Almost nothing. The consultation form composes a WhatsApp message on your own device — nothing you type is stored on this website or sent to our servers. This site sets no advertising or analytics cookies.
Once you write to us on WhatsApp or by email, the details you choose to share — your name, contact details and what you are considering — are held by the clinic to plan and answer your consultation, and for nothing else.
Photographs
Clinical photographs are taken only with your explicit consent, stored securely within the clinic, and never published, shared or used as "before and after" material without your separate written permission. Declining photography never affects your care.
Your rights
Under Turkish data-protection law (KVKK) and, where it applies, the GDPR, you may ask at any time what we hold about you, have it corrected, or have it erased. Medical records required by Turkish health regulations are retained for the legally mandated period; everything else is deleted on request.
Who we share it with
No one, with two narrow exceptions: the accredited hospital where surgery takes place (your surgical record), and authorities where Turkish law requires it. Your information is never sold, and never used for marketing you did not ask for.
Questions, corrections or erasure requests: info@mertmeral.com. We answer privacy requests within thirty days, usually much sooner.
