Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 2026

AAFC (Aesthetic Archive for Clinics) is operated by EDECA Yazılım Ticaret ve Sanayi Limited Şirketi ("EDECA", "we", "us", or "our"), a Turkish limited company based in Akhisar, Manisa, Türkiye. The Service is represented and clinically supervised by Atilla Cengiz, MD (founder and medical director). This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect personal data processed through the AAFC mobile application, the AAFC web panel, and the patient-facing pages of the Service (online booking, waiting list, pre-visit health forms, appointment confirmation, photo sharing and the patient portal).

This policy complies with:

1. Data Controller

The data controller for personal data processed through AAFC is the clinic or medical professional using the application ("Clinic User"). EDECA acts as a data processor on behalf of the Clinic User for technical storage and infrastructure services.

2. Data We Collect

2.1 Patient Data (entered by Clinic Users)

This data is classified as Special Category Personal Data under KVKK Article 6 and GDPR Article 9 (health data), requiring enhanced protection and explicit patient consent.

2.2 Data Submitted Directly by Patients

Some pages of the Service are used by patients themselves, on behalf of the clinic they are visiting. Data entered there is processed for that clinic, which remains the data controller:

Health form answers are health data (Special Category Personal Data) and are visible only to the clinic that requested the form.

5.2 Security Measures

5.3 Patient Links

Links sent to patients (health form, appointment confirmation, photo sharing and patient portal) contain a long random code and are meant only for the patient who receives them. In addition:

Patients should not forward these links. If a link may have been shared with someone else, the patient can ask their clinic to revoke it.

5.4 International Transfers

Data may be transferred outside of Türkiye or the European Economic Area when processed by our infrastructure providers. We ensure adequate safeguards through:

We will confirm deletion within 30 days.

Patient data deletion requests should be directed to the responsible Clinic User. EDECA will support Clinic Users in fulfilling such requests. This also applies to data a patient entered through an online booking page, health form or patient portal.

9. Third-Party Services

We use the following processors who support our service:

These processors are contractually bound to protect your data and use it only for the purposes we instruct.

When a Clinic User sends a message to a patient through WhatsApp or SMS, the message is sent from the Clinic User's own device and account; that communication is subject to the terms and privacy policy of the respective messaging provider.

10. Children's Privacy

AAFC is designed for medical professionals and is not intended for use by individuals under 18. Clinic Users who enter minor patient data are responsible for obtaining parental/guardian consent as required by applicable law.

We do not knowingly collect data directly from children. If you believe we have, contact us at support@aafclinic.com.

11. Cookies and Analytics

The AAFC mobile application does not use cookies, advertising identifiers, or third-party analytics tools. Our website (aafclinic.com), including the online booking and patient pages, does not use tracking or advertising cookies. It stores only your language choice in your browser's local storage so that pages open in the same language next time. Some pages load fonts and scripts from public content delivery networks (cdnjs, jsDelivr), which receive your IP address as part of the normal request.

12. Data Breach Notification

In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to individuals, we will notify the Turkish Data Protection Authority within 72 hours and affected users without undue delay, as required by KVKK and GDPR.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via email to Clinic Users at least 30 days before they take effect. The "Last updated" date above always reflects the current version.
