SECURITY POLICY
1. PURPOSE AND SCOPE
This Security Policy ("Policy") has been prepared by TREATX Medikal Turizm Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş. (the "Company"), established at "Adalet Mah. Manas Blv. No: 47B, İç Kapı No: 2809, Bayraklı / İzmir", in order to explain the measures taken by the Company regarding the security of information of all users who visit, register with, receive services through or provide services through the website at www.treatx.health (including its subdomains) (the "Platform"), operated by the Company under the "TreatX Health" brand, as well as the security rules with which users are required to comply.www.treatx.health
The Platform is an online marketplace that brings together service providers registered with the Platform, including healthcare institutions such as clinics, outpatient clinics, private practices, medical centres and hospitals, as well as physicians, dentists and other healthcare professionals who satisfy the requirements prescribed by applicable legislation ("Service Provider"), with users seeking examination, treatment, dental health, aesthetic and beauty procedures, and consultancy services from such providers ("Service Recipient"). The Company acts as an intermediary service provider within the scope of Law No. 6563 on the Regulation of Electronic Commerce and is not itself the provider of the healthcare, aesthetic/beauty or consultancy services offered through the Platform; such services are provided by the relevant Service Provider under its own professional responsibility.
This Policy shall be read together with the Privacy Policy, Consents for the Processing of Personal Data, Privacy Notices on the Processing of Personal Data, Cookie Policy, Commercial Electronic Communication Consents and membership agreements published on the Platform; where the fulfilment of the information obligation, explicit consent and consent for commercial electronic communications must be obtained separately, this Policy does not replace any of them and does not provide a basis for combining them under a single consent.

3. OUR INFORMATION SECURITY PRINCIPLES
The Company manages information security within the framework of three fundamental principles:
With respect to personal data, the principles of data minimisation (processing only the minimum data necessary for the relevant purpose) and least privilege (granting only the minimum access required for the relevant duty) are also applied. The Company operates management systems compliant with ISO 9001, ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO 22301 standards in the fields of quality, information security and business continuity management, respectively, and is certified under these standards. Security measures are reviewed regularly and updated in line with technological developments.
4. INFORMATION SECURITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND MANAGEMENT COMMITMENT
Information security is managed within the Company as a corporate process owned by senior management. Senior management declares its commitment to setting information security objectives, allocating the necessary resources, approving this Policy and reviewing it at least annually.
The Company operates an information security management system ("ISMS") established on the basis of ISO/IEC 27001 and certified under that standard; business continuity management is carried out within the framework of ISO 22301. This Policy is supported by subordinate policies and procedures concerning matters such as access management, passwords, backups, incident response and supplier security. Within this framework:
5. PAYMENT SECURITY
5.1. Payment Infrastructure
Card payment transactions carried out through the Platform are processed through authorised Payment Institutions integrated by the Company, which are licensed under Law No. 6493 on Payment and Securities Settlement Systems, Payment Services and Electronic Money Institutions and are subject to supervision by the relevant authorities. Our current Payment Institution in Türkiye is iyzi Ödeme ve Elektronik Para Hizmetleri A.Ş. ("iyzico"), an electronic money and payment services institution supervised by the Central Bank of the Republic of Türkiye and certified under the international Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). The Company's payment architecture is designed so as not to be permanently dependent on any single provider; if additional or different authorised Payment Institutions are used over time, this Policy and the relevant texts will be updated.
The relevant Payment Institution (currently iyzico) acts as an independent data controller in respect of the data it processes within the scope of the payment services it provides (see Privacy Policy, Section 3).
5.2. Protection of Your Card Information
Your credit card and debit card information (card number/PAN, expiry date, security code/CVV) is not stored or recorded in the Company's systems and cannot be viewed by Company personnel. During the payment flow, card information is transmitted over an encrypted connection to the secure infrastructure of the relevant Payment Institution and the payment transaction is processed on that infrastructure. The Company may access only information indicating whether the transaction was approved or declined, transaction data that does not contain the card number, such as amount and date, and masked/limited transaction reference information transmitted by the relevant Payment Institution.
Card storage ("save my card") and similar features, if offered, operate not with the Company but with the relevant Payment Institution, using a PCI-DSS-compliant card storage (tokenisation) method. Details regarding the provision of any such feature will be announced separately in this Policy.
5.3. 3D Secure Authentication
For card payments, 3D Secure (three-domain secure) authentication is mandatorily applied within the framework supported by the relevant Payment Institution and the card-issuing bank. Under 3D Secure, the transaction is approved using a one-time authentication code sent by your card-issuing bank; this contributes to reducing the risk of unauthorised use. No authentication method can provide absolute security on its own.
5.4. Marketplace Payment Flow
As the Platform operates as a marketplace, payments made by Service Recipients are not held in bank accounts freely available for the Company's use; payment amounts are safeguarded in accounts held with the relevant Payment Institution. Amounts due to the Service Provider — after deduction of the Company's intermediary commission, if any — are transferred to the Service Provider through the relevant Payment Institution in accordance with the service performance and entitlement conditions specified in the relevant reservation/agreement. For services consisting of multiple sessions or stages, the release of payments likewise follows the performance and entitlement conditions specified in the relevant reservation and agreement. Refunds are handled in accordance with the Cancellation and Refund Terms published on the Platform.
5.5. Warning Regarding Off-Platform Payments
For your security, please make payments only through the payment steps available on the Platform. Payments made outside the Platform in cash, by bank transfer/EFT, or through links sent by third parties are outside the Company's knowledge and safeguards; the Company cannot be held liable for losses arising from such payments. The Company's liability arising from the fault or misleading directions of its employees or authorised persons, or from a deficiency in Platform security, and mandatory provisions of applicable law are reserved. Please immediately report any person or organisation directing you to make payment outside the Platform to the Company via support@treatx.health.support@treatx.health
6. DATA TRANSMISSION AND STORAGE SECURITY
To protect data communications between the Platform and user devices, TLS (SSL) encryption based on certificates issued by trusted certificate authorities is used in accordance with current security standards. You can verify a secure connection through the padlock icon and the "https" indication in your browser's address bar.
Personal data is stored in secure data centres/cloud infrastructure located in the Frankfurt region of Germany (AWS eu-central-1); infrastructure-level encryption and access controls are applied in storage environments. Where hosting or cloud services located abroad are used, transfers of data abroad are carried out in accordance with Article 9 of the KVKK and other applicable legislation.
Data is backed up regularly. Incident response, business continuity and disaster recovery processes are operated and reviewed within the scope of the business continuity management system maintained in accordance with ISO 22301.
7. SECURITY OF HEALTH DATA AND COMMUNICATIONS
Health data processed due to the nature of the Platform constitutes special categories of personal data pursuant to Article 6 of the KVKK. In processing special categories of personal data, the Company acts in accordance with the processing conditions prescribed by the KVKK and the adequate measures determined by the Board. The principal measures taken in this respect are as follows:
8. TECHNICAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE MEASURES
Pursuant to Article 12 of the KVKK, the Company applies, with a risk-based approach appropriate to its cloud-based architecture, principally the following technical and administrative measures in order to prevent unlawful processing of and unlawful access to personal data and to ensure the safeguarding of personal data:
9. ACCOUNT AND PASSWORD SECURITY — USER OBLIGATIONS
You are required to comply with the following rules to protect the security of your Platform account:
In addition, Service Providers are required to restrict access to the management panel to authorised personnel only, update access permissions in the event of personnel changes and ensure the security of devices within the Service Provider's organisation.
10. FRAUD AND PHISHING WARNINGS
Company employees will never ask you by telephone, SMS, email or social media for your password, card number, card expiry date, security code (CVV) or SMS authentication codes. Communications purportedly made on behalf of the Payment Institution (currently iyzico) should also be verified through that institution's current official channels. Communications requesting such information are fraudulent attempts.
The Platform's official website is www.treatx.health and the official subdomains operated by the Company; the official communication channels are treatxmedikal@hs03.kep.tr and support@treatx.health. Transactions carried out through any other domains, applications or accounts are not covered by the Company's safeguards.www.treatx.healthtreatxmedikal@hs03.kep.trsupport@treatx.health
Do not click links in suspicious emails or SMS messages that appear to have been sent on behalf of the Company; report suspicious circumstances to support@treatx.health.support@treatx.health
Please pay particular attention to the following in relation to common fraud methods:
11. SECURITY VULNERABILITY REPORTING (RESPONSIBLE DISCLOSURE)
If you identify a security vulnerability on the Platform, we ask that you report it to the Company via support@treatx.health. For good-faith reports, we expect you to provide the minimum information necessary to verify the vulnerability, not to disclose the vulnerability to third parties before it has been remediated, and to immediately delete any data that may have been accessed during the reporting process. Reports are assessed promptly and the reporting party is responded to within a reasonable period.support@treatx.health
12. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES AND LINKS
The Company works with third-party service providers that are contractually bound by data security obligations in areas such as payment services (currently iyzico), SMS and email delivery services, and cloud hosting and data storage services. Processing activities carried out by these service providers within their own systems are subject to the relevant provider's policies and agreements. Where a third party acts as a data processor on behalf of the Company, the Company's obligations to select, instruct, contractually bind and appropriately oversee the supplier remain reserved.
The Platform may contain links to websites belonging to third parties. The operators of the relevant websites are responsible for the content and security practices of linked sites; we recommend that you review their own privacy and security policies before using such sites.
13. COOKIES
Cookies are used on the Platform for session management, security, performance analysis and remembering preferences. Detailed information on cookie types, purposes of use and management of cookie preferences is available in the Cookie Policy published at https://treatx.health/#/cookie-policy.https://treatx.health/#/cookie-policy
14. PROTECTION OF PERSONAL DATA
Your personal data is processed in accordance with the KVKK and applicable legislation. Detailed information regarding the categories of data processed, purposes of processing, legal grounds, transfers and your rights under Article 11 of the KVKK is provided in the Privacy Notices prepared for Service Recipients, Service Providers and visitors, as well as in the Privacy Policy. You may submit your applications under the KVKK via admin@treatx.health or through the other channels specified in Section 17 of the Privacy Policy.admin@treatx.health
15. DATA BREACH AND SECURITY INCIDENT NOTIFICATION
Information security incidents and vulnerability reports are recorded; their impact is assessed and they are addressed within the framework of the incident response procedure. The following notification process is also applied in respect of breaches affecting personal data:
The Company notifies the Board without delay and no later than 72 hours from the date on which it becomes aware of the breach. Following identification of the persons affected by the breach, the relevant data subjects are also notified by an appropriate method as soon as reasonably practicable. In processes where the Company acts as a data processor, any identified breach is notified without delay to the relevant data controller.
16. POLICY CHANGES AND EFFECTIVE DATE
The Company may update this Policy in line with changes in legislation, technical developments or changes to the services. The current text enters into force on the date it is published on the Platform and is kept accessible through the Platform at all times. Material changes are communicated to members by email or notification through the Platform. Previous versions of the Policy are archived for evidentiary purposes; a subsequent amendment does not retroactively render a previous processing activity lawful.
