KVKK privacy notice
Under Article 10 of KVKK, Türkiye's Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698, this notice explains, as data controller, for which purposes and on which legal grounds we process your personal data, to whom it is transferred, and your rights.
1. Identity of the data controller
The data controller is the operator of the HekimBis website and services. Empty fields are not shown.

2. Scope of this text and a note on patient data
This text covers the personal data of website visitors, people who make contact or demo requests and people who apply for a subscription. For patient data that a health organization manages through HekimBis, the data controller is that health organization; HekimBis acts as a data processor for that data. Patients should learn about the notice and application routes for their own data from the health organization where they receive care.
3. Categories of personal data processed
| Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| Identity | First name, last name |
| Contact | Email, phone, city, address |
| Professional / organizational | Organization name and type, specialty, title |
| Customer transaction | Request type, message content, demo and quote history, subscription information |
| Finance | Invoice details, tax office and number (for subscriptions), payment status |
| Transaction security | IP address, browser and device information, request time, security records |
| Marketing | Campaign-source information, commercial message permission and preference (only if given) |
No special-category personal data (health data) is requested through website forms. Please do not write such information in the message field.
4. Purposes and legal bases of processing
| Purpose | Legal basis (Law Article 5) |
|---|---|
| Responding to contact, demo and quote requests | Necessary for the establishment or performance of a contract (pre-contract steps); legitimate interest |
| Establishing and performing the subscription agreement, invoicing | Establishment or performance of a contract; legal obligation |
| Account, security and service notices | Performance of a contract; legitimate interest |
| Security of the website and forms, preventing misuse | Legitimate interest; legal obligation |
| Determining campaign source | Legitimate interest |
| Financial, tax and commercial record obligations | Legal obligation |

5. Method of collecting personal data
Your data is collected electronically, by automated or partly automated means, through website forms, email, phone, subscription applications and the site's technical infrastructure. If you arrive through a campaign link, a campaign-source cookie is set; details are on the Cookie Policy page.
6. Transfer of data
Your personal data may be transferred, limited to the purposes above and in line with Articles 8 and 9 of the Law, to these recipient groups:
- Service providers that deliver or support the service on our behalf (such as hosting, email and message delivery); as data processors and under contractual confidentiality
- The payment service provider (for subscription payments)
- Advisers under a duty of confidentiality, such as accountants, lawyers and auditors
- Authorized public bodies where legislation requires
If a service requiring transfer abroad will be used, the conditions of Article 9 of the Law are met and this text is updated. Because data collected through website forms is not health data, the product principle on keeping health data in Türkiye is not the subject of this text; for patient data the Data Processing Agreement applies.
7. Retention periods
Personal data is kept for the time needed for the purpose of processing and for the periods set by relevant legislation; at the end of the period it is deleted, destroyed or anonymized. Periods are set by data class:
- Contact requests: For the conclusion of the request and a reasonable follow-up period
- Subscription and contract records: For the term of the contract and afterwards for limitation periods
- Invoices and financial records: For the periods in tax and commercial legislation
- Transaction security records: For as long as needed for security
- Campaign-source information: For the cookie duration; if attached to a request, together with the request record
The current retention and destruction policy can be provided on request.
8. Your rights
Under Article 11 of the Law, as a data subject you have the right to:
- Learn whether your personal data is processed
- Request information if it has been processed
- Learn the purpose of processing and whether it is used accordingly
- Know the third parties to whom it is transferred, at home or abroad
- Request correction if it is incomplete or incorrect
- Request deletion or destruction under the conditions in Article 7 of the Law
- Request that correction, deletion and destruction be notified to third parties to whom data was transferred
