Do not send health data

WhatsApp, phone and email are for administrative matters such as appointments and directions only. Do not send ultrasound, biopsy/pathology, hormone or blood tests, images, reports, prescriptions, symptom summaries, ID documents or any other health or special-category data through these channels. No diagnosis, treatment advice or pre-assessment is given by message; medical documents are reviewed during an in-person examination.

In an emergency call 112 (in Türkiye) or your local emergency number, or go to the nearest emergency department.

When you visit the site

The site has no registration, accounts or contact forms. The site code does not load non-essential analytics, advertising or marketing pixels.

The site is served through a hosting and delivery platform. For security and operation this platform may keep technical logs (IP address, browser information, requested page, time) and may perform operational measurement at platform level. These logs are outside the control of the site code; retention and details depend on the provider and no fixed period is stated here.

Third-party content

Fonts are loaded from Google Fonts; your browser connects to Google servers and your IP address is transmitted to Google.

Videos on the nerve monitoring page are embedded in YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com); when a video loads or plays, Google/YouTube may process data under its own terms.

External sites such as PubMed and guideline links are subject to their own privacy policies.

WhatsApp and email

WhatsApp is operated by Meta Platforms; messages and your phone number are processed under WhatsApp/Meta terms. Email passes through the systems of your and the recipient's email providers. Do not write health data in these channels.

Your rights

Requests regarding your rights under the Turkish Personal Data Protection Law (KVKK, Art. 11) and, where applicable, the GDPR can be sent to atesdr@yahoo.com.
