This Privacy Policy explains how the practice of Dr. Kalyan Bommakanti ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our website, contact us, watch our educational videos, or interact with our messaging channels.
Information we collect
- Contact details you voluntarily provide (name, phone number, email, city) when you message us, submit a form, or start a WhatsApp conversation.
- Enquiry details you choose to share about your health concern so we can guide you to the right information or consultation.
- Technical data such as device type and general location, collected automatically via cookies and analytics to improve the website.
How we use your information
- To respond to your enquiries and help you book a consultation.
- To share general educational information and relevant videos.
- To improve our website, content, and services.
Advertising and messaging (Meta / WhatsApp)
We run educational advertisements on Meta platforms (Facebook and Instagram). If you click an advertisement or message us, your interaction may be processed by Meta Platforms, Inc. in accordance with Meta’s own data policies. When you contact us on WhatsApp, your messages are used solely to respond to your enquiry and are handled in line with WhatsApp’s terms. We do not send unsolicited marketing messages.
YouTube API Services
We publish patient-education videos on our own YouTube channel, YouTube.com/@drkalyan100. To publish and organise those videos we use an internal software tool that relies on YouTube API Services.
By using our website and our YouTube content you are also agreeing to the YouTube Terms of Service. Information handled by Google in connection with YouTube API Services is governed by the Google Privacy Policy.
What our tool accesses
Our tool signs in through Google OAuth as the owner of our own YouTube channel only. It uploads our own videos and sets their titles, descriptions, tags, thumbnails and playlists. That is all it does.
- It does not access, read, collect or store the Google account data, YouTube data, viewing history or personal information of any website visitor, viewer, subscriber or other YouTube user.
- It does not ask any visitor or patient to sign in with Google, and it has no end users other than Dr. Kalyan Bommakanti.
- It does not subscribe, like, comment or message on anyone’s behalf, and it does not use YouTube data for advertising or profiling.
What YouTube data we store, and for how long
The only YouTube-derived data we hold is:
- an OAuth authorisation token for our own channel, stored on a password-protected computer under our control, used solely to authenticate our uploads; and
- the video IDs and titles of the videos we ourselves have published, kept in our publishing records.
The authorisation token is deleted as soon as it is no longer needed, and in any case is revoked and deleted immediately if the channel owner withdraws authorisation. We retain no other YouTube data of any kind. Because no viewer or third-party user data is ever collected through YouTube API Services, there is no such data for us to hold, share or sell.
Revoking access and deleting YouTube data
Access that any application — including ours — holds to a Google account can be reviewed and revoked at any time from the Google security settings page: https://myaccount.google.com/permissions.
If you believe we hold any data relating to you and you want it deleted, write to us at neurospinesurgeon81@gmail.com. We will confirm and delete it within 30 days of your request.
Medical information
Any health information you share is treated as confidential and used only to assist your enquiry. This website and our messaging channels do not provide diagnosis or treatment; they offer general education and help you arrange an in-person consultation.
Data sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with service providers who help us operate (for example, messaging and analytics platforms), and where required by law.
Data retention and deletion
We keep your information only as long as necessary to respond to your enquiry and for legitimate record-keeping, after which it is deleted or anonymised. You may ask us to delete your information at any time by writing to neurospinesurgeon81@gmail.com; we action deletion requests within 30 days. Data held by Google in connection with YouTube is deleted in line with the Google Privacy Policy.
Cookies
Our website uses cookies to function and to understand usage. You can control cookies through your browser settings.
