1. Scope
This Explicit Consent Form has been prepared by Curavita Evde Sağlık under the Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698 ("KVKK") in order to obtain your explicit consent to the processing of your special categories of personal data, above all your health data, that you share when you request and receive home healthcare services, and to the transfer of this data to the necessary parties.
Under the KVKK, explicit consent is defined as consent that relates to a specific matter, is based on information and is expressed of your own free will. For this reason, before giving your consent, we ask you to read the KVKK Privacy Notice, which explains the legal grounds on which your personal data is processed, how long it is retained and your rights under the KVKK. This form does not replace the KVKK Privacy Notice; it complements it.
Your health data may also be processed on the relevant legal ground in cases where legislation permits processing without explicit consent (e.g. obligations prescribed by law, or the conduct of medical diagnosis, treatment and care services). This form aims to obtain your consent for the processing and transfer activities for which explicit consent is required.
This form applies to patients who use the service, as well as to patients' relatives and legal representatives who apply on a patient's behalf.
