Introduction
This Practitioner Privacy Policy explains how YourGynac (“we”, “our”, or “us”) collects, uses, protects, and discloses the professional and personal data of the medical experts, gynaecologists, and healthcare providers (“Practitioner”, “you”) who register on our platform to render teleconsultation services.
This policy is designed to ensure compliance with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act), the Information Technology Act, 2000 and relevant rules, focusing strictly on the data relationship between YourGynac and the Practitioner.
Integration with General Privacy Policy
While this specific document outlines the precise data handling practices and B2B privacy standards concerning your professional information, it operates in conjunction with our primary data protection framework. You must read the full and comprehensive YourGynac Privacy Policy, which governs the Platform as a whole. Reviewing the general Privacy Policy is imperative for you to obtain a complete and detailed understanding of our overarching data security protocols, our holistic approach to End-User data processing, our comprehensive encryption architectures, and our global privacy compliance standards.

We unequivocally affirm that the personal medical histories collected by you from patients, the encrypted consultation transcripts, and the specific prescription details shall absolutely not be shared, sold, or disclosed to any unauthorized third parties under any circumstances, thereby preserving the fundamental sanctity of the doctor-patient relationship.
Data Security
We employ robust, industry-standard security measures to protect your data. Your digital signature and bank details are stored using encryption. Access to your financial and verification data is strictly limited to authorized YourGynac administrative personnel on a need-to-know basis.
Encryption of Consultation Channels
We recognize the highly sensitive nature of the clinical interactions conducted on the Platform. To guarantee absolute patient confidentiality and safeguard your professional communications, every medical consultation facilitated through our infrastructure — whether conducted via video, audio, or text-based chat — is protected by robust end-to-end encryption. This architectural safeguard ensures that the clinical dialogue, shared medical histories, and resulting prescriptions remain secure and inaccessible to unauthorized entities.
Record Retention
We retain your professional data, consultation logs, and electronic prescriptions for as long as your profile is active, and subsequently for the minimum statutory periods mandated by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW) and clinical establishment rules, even if you terminate your account.

As a Practitioner, you have the right to:
- Access and Update: Review and update your profile information, availability, and contact details directly through your dashboard.
- Withdraw Consent: You may withdraw your consent for us to process your data; however, this will necessitate the immediate deactivation and delisting of your profile from the Platform.
