1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how Zulal Abanoz Psychotherapy Practice ("we", "the practice") collects, uses and protects personal information in connection with this website and the therapy services offered. It is provided in accordance with the Turkish Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698 ("KVKK") and applicable data protection regulations.

• Your name and contact details (email address, phone number)
• The content of your message, including anything you choose to share about your circumstances
• Your preferred session format and appointment preferences

This website is a static presentation site. The booking form on this demo version is a placeholder and does not transmit or store any data.

3. How We Use Your Information

Any information you provide is used solely to respond to your enquiry, schedule appointments and deliver therapy services. We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information to third parties, and we do not use it for marketing without your explicit consent.

• There is a serious and imminent risk of harm to you or another person
• Disclosure is required by law or court order

5. Data Storage & Retention

Session notes and correspondence are kept securely for the minimum period required by Turkish law, after which they are securely deleted or anonymized. Electronic records are protected with access controls, and paper records are stored in a locked environment.

6. Cookies & Analytics

This static website does not use tracking cookies or analytics scripts. Fonts are loaded from Google Fonts, whose servers may record technical data (such as IP address) when assets are downloaded; this is outside our control.
