At MJB Care ("we", "our", or "us"), your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal data when you visit our website or contact us to arrange healthcare facilitation services. We are committed to complying with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable Turkish data protection law.
MJB Care is an independent healthcare facilitator โ not a clinic, not a hospital. We act as an intermediary, connecting patients with verified medical providers in Istanbul. We do not provide medical advice or treatment, and the personal data we handle relates to arranging those referrals and providing ongoing support.
