Scope of the Policy
This privacy policy applies to the data shared by individuals who visit arasselcuk.com, use an appointment or contact form, or contact our clinic by telephone, email or digital channels.

Your personal data are processed by Aras Selcuk Advanced Dentistry, acting as data controller. For information about our privacy practices or your personal data, contact our clinic at info@arasselcuk.com or through our other contact channels.
Personal Data We Collect
For contact and appointment requests, we may process information such as your name, telephone number, email address, the subject of your request and message content. When you use our website, technical security logs, cookie preferences and limited usage data sent by your device's browser may also be collected.
Purposes of Processing
Your data are processed only as necessary to assess your appointment request, respond to you, provide the general information you request about treatments and examinations, improve the quality of communications, ensure information security and fulfil our legal obligations.
Legal Grounds and Special Categories of Data
Personal data are processed on the legal grounds set out in Article 5 of Turkish Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698; special-category personal data, such as health data, are processed only where permitted by applicable legislation and with the necessary administrative and technical measures in place. Please avoid sharing unnecessary details about your health in web forms.
Transfer of Data
Your personal data are not sold for commercial purposes or shared for marketing without your permission. Data may be transferred, within the necessary limits, only to legally authorised public institutions, where required by law, or to suppliers that support the secure delivery of our services and are subject to confidentiality obligations.
Retention Period
Your data are retained for the period required by the purpose of processing, taking into account the retention periods prescribed by applicable legislation. When this period ends or the purpose of processing no longer exists, data are deleted, destroyed or anonymised, subject to legal obligations.
Data Security
We take reasonable technical and administrative measures to prevent unauthorised access to, loss, alteration or unlawful disclosure of personal data. Access permissions are limited to job responsibilities and processes are reviewed regularly; however, no transfer of data over the internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Cookies and Technical Records
Essential cookies and limited technical records may be used to keep our website secure, reliable and functional. You can manage or delete cookies in your browser settings; however, blocking essential cookies may affect the expected operation of the appointment form or certain website functions.
Rights of Data Subjects Under the GDPR
Where the GDPR applies because services are offered to individuals in the European Union or European Economic Area, or their online behaviour is monitored, the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is also taken into account.
In EU countries, personal data are protected under the GDPR together with each country's supplementary national rules and the oversight of independent data-protection authorities. Where data must be transferred outside the EEA, applicable safeguards such as an adequacy decision, appropriate safeguards or European Commission standard contractual clauses are assessed.
Data Subject Rights and Applications
Under Article 11 of Turkish Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698, you may learn whether your personal data are processed, request information, request correction, deletion or destruction, and exercise the other rights listed in the law.
