Privacy Policy - Sanova

Your Privacy Matters to Us

Welcome to Sanova Private Limited. We respect your trust and are dedicated to safeguarding your personal data and health consultation privacy. This document outlines in plain, transparent terms how we handle your information across our healthcare platform.

1. Information We Collect

To facilitate doctor discovery, appointments, and reviews, we collect minimal and necessary information:

  • Personal Details: Full name, mobile phone number, email address, age, gender, and city.
  • Appointment Information: Selected doctor, polyclinic chamber, preferred date, consultation slot, and booking token.
  • Doctor Professional Records: Medical council registration number (NMC/State Council), qualifications, specialization, chamber locations, and consultation fees.
  • Reviews & Feedback: Ratings, recommendations, and feedback provided on doctor profiles.
  • Technical Logs: IP address, device type, and session timestamps for site security and functionality.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information solely for legitimate healthcare coordination and account administration:

  • Confirming and scheduling doctor appointments with polyclinics and chambers.
  • Sending booking confirmations, OTP verifications, and chamber schedule updates via SMS or email.
  • Verifying doctor credentials against medical council registries to maintain platform trust.
  • Displaying verified community reviews to assist patients in choosing healthcare specialists.
  • Assisting you with customer support, booking inquiries, and technical issues.
  • Preventing spam, abusive listings, unauthorized logins, and fraudulent bookings.

3. Healthcare Intermediary Role & Doctor-Patient Privilege

Sanova Private Limited operates as a technology aggregator and digital intermediary connecting patients with independent healthcare providers and polyclinics.

All medical consultations, diagnoses, medical opinions, and prescriptions are provided directly and solely by your attending licensed doctor. Sanova does not interfere in, view, or record private clinical consultations between doctors and patients.

4. Information Sharing & Third Parties

We strictly do not sell, rent, or trade your personal details to advertisers or third-party marketers. Information is shared strictly when necessary:

  • With Booked Doctors & Chambers: Sharing your name, age, and booking slot so the doctor can attend to you.
  • With Essential Service Providers: Trusted partners who process SMS/OTP delivery (MSG91), payment processing (Cashfree), and cloud database hosting.
  • Legal & Statutory Requests: When mandated by applicable Indian laws, judicial orders, or governmental directives.

5. Payment Security & Financial Data

All online transactions made on the Sanova platform are processed through RBI-approved, PCI-DSS compliant payment gateways (such as Cashfree Payments).

Financial Privacy Guarantee: Sanova does not store your debit/credit card numbers, CVV codes, bank passwords, or UPI PINs on our servers. All sensitive financial data is encrypted and handled exclusively by the certified payment gateway.

6. Doctor Reviews & Public Feedback

Patient reviews and ratings are visible publicly to help the community make informed decisions. When submitting a review:

  • Your rating and written comments will appear publicly on the doctor's profile page.
  • Please do not post confidential medical diagnoses, personal contact numbers, or home addresses in review text.
  • Sanova reserves the right to moderate or delete reviews containing abusive, defamatory, or promotional content.

7. Data Security Measures

We use secure HTTPS 256-bit encryption, password hashing (bcrypt), and strict role-based access restrictions to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, modification, or theft.

8. Cookies & Session Storage

We use standard session cookies to keep you logged in safely, retain your search filter selections, and maintain security. You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings, though some portal features may require cookies to work properly.

9. Your Rights & Account Deletion
