In short: we only collect what is needed to book your serial (appointment). We never sell your data or use it for advertising, and the website has no advertising or tracking cookies.
This policy explains what information Dr. Sharmin Afroz’s website collects, why, how long it is kept and what your rights are.
Who we are
This website gives information about the chambers and services of Dr. Sharmin Afroz, obstetrician, gynaecologist, infertility specialist and laparoscopic surgeon, and accepts online serial requests. “We” means the doctor and the staff who manage her appointments.
What we collect
| Information | When | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Name and mobile number | When you fill in the booking form | To confirm your serial and contact you |
| Chamber, date and an optional message | When you fill in the booking form | To book the right chamber on the right day |
| IP address and site language | When the form is sent | To stop fake or repeated requests |
| Page-visit statistics | While you browse | To understand which information helps visitors |
You may describe your concern briefly in the message box, but please share detailed reports, images or very personal health information with the doctor in person at the chamber.
How we use it
- To receive and confirm your serial request
- To call or message you on WhatsApp when needed
- To prevent several serials from the same number for the same day and chamber
- To keep the website secure and improve it
We do not sell, rent or use your information for advertising, and we do not share it with third parties unless the law requires it.
Where a booking request goes
When you send the form, the request is stored in the website’s protected admin area and a notification email goes to the chamber. Only authorised staff can sign in to see requests.
You can also send your request on WhatsApp. WhatsApp then opens on your phone with a ready-made message to the chamber number, and you decide whether to send it. Messages sent on WhatsApp are covered by WhatsApp’s (Meta’s) own privacy policy.
Visitor statistics and cookies
We use our own privacy-friendly statistics to understand how many people use the site:
- No cookies are set and IP addresses are not stored.
- A visitor is recognised for one day only, using a coded value that changes every day, so visits on different days cannot be linked to identify you.
- Only totals are looked at: which pages were viewed, the type of device and browser, and which website you came from.
- These statistics are deleted automatically after a set period.
We do not currently use Google Analytics or any advertising network. If that changes, this page will be updated first.
Services from other companies
- YouTube: videos play in YouTube’s privacy-enhanced (youtube-nocookie) mode, and nothing from YouTube loads until you press play.
- Google Fonts: the Bangla and English fonts are served by Google, so your browser connects to Google.
- WhatsApp, Facebook and YouTube links: when you follow them, that platform’s own privacy policy applies.
- Hosting and security services: the server and security services that run the website may process your IP address as part of normal operation.
Website security
The site has automatic protection against hacking and spam. When something suspicious happens, such as repeated wrong passwords or an attack attempt, the IP address and time are logged and that IP may be blocked for a while. Security logs are kept for at most 60 days.
How long we keep information
| Information | Kept for |
|---|---|
| Serial requests | As long as needed for treatment and contact; deleted on request |
| Visitor statistics | Deleted automatically after a set period |
| Security logs | At most 60 days |
