Privacy Policy

This explains what we collect when you contact us about treatment, why we collect it, who we pass it to, and what you can ask us to do with it. We have tried to write it in plain English rather than legal language.

Effective 1 August 2026 · Last updated 18 August 2026

The short version

1. Who we are

MedMatch Global Advisory (operating as Suleyman MedMatch Global Advisory) is an independent patient advisory service based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. We are responsible for the personal information described in this policy.

We are not a hospital, clinic, or healthcare provider. We are not a health information custodian under Ontario's Personal Health Information Protection Act. We do not diagnose, treat, or give medical advice. Every clinical decision is made by licensed physicians at the hospitals you choose.

Contact for anything in this policy:

2. What we collect

When you request a quote

Our quote form asks for your full name, email address, phone or WhatsApp number, and the treatment you are interested in. There is an optional free-text box where you can tell us about your timeline, questions, or medical history.

Only the name, email and treatment fields are required. Please do not put more detail about your health in that box than you need to. A sentence about what you are considering is enough for us to help. You can always tell us more later, on a call, once you know who you are talking to.

When you book a call

Our booking page uses Google Calendar's appointment scheduler, embedded from Google. When you book, you give your details to Google directly and Google passes us the booking. Google's handling of that is covered by Google's privacy policy.

When you apply to become an advisor

Our advisor application form collects your name, email, and the information you enter about your background. This is separate from patient enquiries and is never mixed with them.

When you message us

If you email us, or message us on WhatsApp at +1 437 595 1735, we keep that correspondence so we can help you.

Many of these conversations now begin from an ad. Some of our Facebook and Instagram ads carry a "Send message" button that opens WhatsApp with us already in it instead of opening this website. If you arrive that way, Meta tells us which ad you tapped. It does not tell us your name or hand us your Facebook or Instagram profile — we see the phone number you message from, exactly as in any other WhatsApp chat.

People often describe their treatment, their existing quotes and their medical history in these chats. That is sensitive information and section 3 below applies to it in full. WhatsApp messages are carried by Meta under WhatsApp's privacy policy. If you would rather not use WhatsApp, email works just as well and reaches the same person.

When you use the photo preview tool

Your photo never leaves your device. The preview tool on preview.html lets you take or choose a photo and see an illustration of a treatment. All of it — finding your face, drawing the illustration, building the image you can save — happens inside your own browser, on your own phone or computer.

We do not receive the photo. We do not store it. There is no upload, and there is no copy of it anywhere except on your device. Closing the page discards it. If you save or share the resulting image, that is you sending it, not us.

We also exclude that part of the page from our session-recording tool (see section 6), so your face and the result cannot appear in a recording either.

The illustration is not a medical opinion, not a diagnosis, and not a prediction of any result. It is a drawing produced by a filter, and no clinician has reviewed it.

Automatically, when you visit

Standard web information: IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, and how you arrived. See section 6 on cookies and tracking.

On our enquiry pages we also count how far people get: that the page was opened, that a treatment was chosen, that someone reached the contact boxes, and whether sending worked. Each count carries a random number that lasts only until you close the tab, the treatment you tapped, and which advert brought you — so we can tell where a page is losing people. It never contains your name, your email, anything you typed, or anything that identifies you, and it is not shared with anyone.

3. Information about your health

If you tell us which procedure you are considering, or describe your medical history, that is sensitive personal information. We treat it that way.

We only collect it when you volunteer it, we only use it to help you understand your options and to get you an accurate quote, and we only pass it to a hospital when you have asked us to arrange something with that hospital. We never use it for advertising and we never build advertising audiences from it.

4. Why we use it

What we doWhy
Reply to your enquiry, answer questionsBecause you asked us to
Request a quote from a partner hospital on your behalfWith your consent, to deliver the service
Coordinate scheduling, travel and translationTo deliver the service you asked for
Follow up if you don't replyOur legitimate interest in completing a conversation you started — you can opt out any time
Improve the website and understand which pages helpOur legitimate interest, using aggregate data
Keep records, meet legal and tax obligationsLegal requirement

We do not sell your personal information. We do not share it with data brokers. We do not upload patient enquiry data to advertising platforms to build audiences.

5. Who we share it with

Partner hospitals and clinics in Türkiye

This is the core of what we do. When you ask us to get you a quote or arrange treatment, we send the relevant details to the partner hospital. They need your name, contact details, and enough clinical context to give a real answer. We ask for your agreement before we send anything, and we tell you which hospital.

Once a hospital has your information, they hold it as an independent healthcare provider under Turkish law, including Türkiye's Personal Data Protection Law (KVKK). We are not able to delete information from their systems on your behalf, though we will pass on your request.

Otherwise

We disclose personal information only where the law requires it, or to establish or defend a legal claim. If our business is ever sold or transferred, information may transfer with it, and we will tell you first.

6. Cookies and tracking

We keep this deliberately small.

The Pixel reports actions like "someone viewed this page" or "someone submitted the form". It does not receive the contents of the form — not your name, not your email, not what you wrote about your health. We have configured it that way deliberately.

Ads that open a WhatsApp chat instead of this website. When you tap "Send message" on one of those ads, Meta reports back to our advertising account that that particular ad led to a conversation. That report is a count, not a transcript. It does not carry your name, your phone number, or a single word of what you go on to tell us. Nothing you say about your health is ever sent back to Meta, used to target further ads at you, or used to build an audience of people like you. We have never done that and this policy commits us not to start.

What a Clarity session replay does not contain. A replay is a reconstruction of a page, not a video of your screen, and we have deliberately cut the sensitive parts out of it. Anything typed into a box on this site — your name, your email address, your phone number, and everything you write about your health — is blanked out before it ever leaves your browser, and that cannot be switched back on from our side. We have separately blanked out the parts of the site that would otherwise show your medical information back to you on screen: the nine questions on the Before You Book page along with the answers you pick, the readiness answer you are given at the end, and the treatment you select on the Ask a question page. We do not record keystrokes, and we cannot see your screen.

How to switch this off. We honour Global Privacy Control and browser Do Not Track signals. If either is switched on in your browser, neither Clarity nor the Meta Pixel is loaded at all — not in a reduced form, not at all. Global Privacy Control is built into some browsers and available as an extension for others. We treat that signal as your decision and it needs no account, no form and no email to us.

We do not show a cookie banner. We would rather write plainly here, honour the signal your browser already sends, and keep what we collect small enough that a banner would be the least useful part of this page. If you would prefer we held nothing at all about your visit, switching on Global Privacy Control achieves exactly that.

7. Where your information goes

We are in Canada. Our service providers are mostly in the United States. Our partner hospitals are in Türkiye. Your information will be stored and processed outside Canada.

This matters: while your information is in another country, it is subject to that country's laws, and courts or authorities there may be able to access it under their own legal processes. Those protections are not identical to Canadian ones. We use contractual protections with our providers, but we want you to know this before you send us anything.

8. How long we keep it

WhatHow long
Enquiries that don't go anywhere24 months from your last contact, then deleted
Records for people we arranged treatment for7 years, for legal and tax reasons
Advisor applications not accepted12 months
Email and WhatsApp correspondence24 months

You can ask us to delete your information sooner. See section 10.

9. How we protect it

Access to enquiry records is limited to the people who need it to help you. Our accounts use strong authentication. Our website is served over HTTPS. Partner hospital names and pricing sit behind a login rather than in public.

We will be straight with you: we are a small business, not a bank. No system is perfectly secure. If a breach ever occurs that creates a real risk of significant harm to you, we will notify you and the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, as the law requires.

10. Your rights

Wherever you live, you can ask us to:

Email us and we will respond within 30 days. We will not charge you and we will not make the service worse because you asked.

If you are in Canada

These rights come from PIPEDA. If you are not satisfied with how we handle your request, you can complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada. We would rather you told us first, but it is your right either way.

If you are in the United States

Residents of California and other states with privacy laws have rights to know, delete, correct, and opt out of sale or sharing. We do not sell or share personal information as those laws define it, and we do not process it for cross-context behavioural advertising. The rights above are available to you regardless of your state.

11. Children

This website is for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If a minor may need treatment, a parent or guardian must contact us directly. If we learn we have collected a child's information without that, we delete it.

12. Changes

If we change this policy we will update the date at the top. If the change is significant — a new category of sharing, for example — we will tell people who have contacted us, by email.
