3. Health Information
Information you voluntarily provide about your health, medical history, treatment interests or medical condition may constitute sensitive personal information.
We use such information only as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was provided and in accordance with laws applicable to our operations.
Renewa is a healthcare provider located in Türkiye. The availability of this website to users in the United States does not, by itself, mean that Renewa is a “covered entity” or “business associate” subject to the U.S. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”).
Nothing in this Privacy Notice should be interpreted as representing that HIPAA applies to Renewa where it does not otherwise apply as a matter of law.
4. How We May Disclose Information
We may disclose personal information where reasonably necessary to:
- Clinic personnel and healthcare professionals involved in responding to or providing services;
- Hosting, website and IT service providers;
- Communications and email providers;
- Appointment or patient-management providers;
- Cybersecurity and technical service providers;
- Professional advisers;
- Government, judicial, regulatory or law-enforcement authorities where required by applicable law.
We do not disclose health information for unrelated advertising purposes unless such processing is permitted by applicable law and any required authorisation or consent has been obtained.
5. International Processing
Renewa is located in Istanbul, Türkiye.
If you contact us from the United States, information you provide will generally be transmitted to and processed in Türkiye and may also be processed in other countries by service providers supporting our operations.
Privacy and data protection laws in these jurisdictions may differ from those applicable in your U.S. state.
6. Cookies and Online Technologies
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies for functionality, security and, where implemented, analytics.
If advertising, analytics or other optional tracking technologies are used, additional information will be provided in our Cookie Policy and through any privacy choices required under applicable law.
7. U.S. State Privacy Rights
Residents of certain U.S. states may have additional rights concerning their personal information under applicable state privacy laws.
Depending on the law applicable to you and to Renewa’s activities, these rights may include rights to request access to, correction of or deletion of personal information, obtain a copy of certain information, or opt out of certain uses or disclosures of personal information.
Some U.S. states also provide specific protections concerning consumer health data.
The availability of a particular right depends on the scope, applicability, exemptions and thresholds of the relevant law.
Requests concerning personal information may be submitted using the contact information below. We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests.
8. Sale and Sharing of Personal Information
Renewa does not sell personal information for monetary consideration.
If the website’s future use of advertising, analytics or tracking technologies constitutes “sale,” “sharing,” “targeted advertising” or a similar regulated activity under an applicable U.S. state law, the relevant disclosures and opt-out mechanisms will be provided as required.
9. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and to comply with applicable healthcare, legal, regulatory and recordkeeping requirements.
Retention periods may differ depending on whether information relates to a general website enquiry, consultation, patient relationship, legal obligation or technical/security record.
10. Security
We use reasonable administrative, organisational and technical safeguards designed to protect personal information.
However, no electronic transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
11. Children’s Privacy
Our website is not intended for children to independently submit personal or medical information.
Where healthcare services concerning a minor are requested, we may require a parent, legal guardian or other authorised individual to participate in the process.
