Privacy Policy

Effective Date: April 1, 2024

What’s Up Doctor LTD (“We”, “Us”, or “Our”) Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) helps explain our data practices, including the information we process to provide our Services.

For example, our Privacy Policy talks about what information we collect and how this affects you. It also explains the steps we take to protect your privacy, like building our Services so delivered messages aren’t stored by us and giving you control over who you communicate with on our Services.

This Privacy Policy applies to all of our Services unless specified otherwise.

Please also read What’s Up Doctor Terms of Service Use (“Terms”), which describe the terms under which you use and we provide our Services.

What’s Up Doctor must receive or collect some information to operate, provide, improve, understand, customize, support, and market our Services, including when you install, access, or use our Services.

The types of information we receive and collect depend on how you use our Services. We require certain information to deliver our Services and without this we will not be able to provide our Services to you. For example, you must provide your e-mail and/or mobile phone number to create an account to use our Services.

Information You Provide

  • Your Account Information. You must provide your mobile phone number and/or E-mail Address  and basic information to create a What’s Up Doctor account. If you don’t provide us with this information, you will not be able to create an account to use our Services. You can add other information to your account, such as a profile picture and “about you” information.
  • Your Doctor Account Information. Doctors (“Providers”) will be asked to provide extra information other than “Your Account Information” that will help What’s Up Doctor to verify doctor identity and certifications to give advice to users. The information will include but not limited to Medical Schools Certificates, Medical ID, Clinic Locations and contact numbers, Specialties and Sub specialties, Medical Title and any information that comforts users to take an advice from the provider.
  • Your Messages. We do not retain your messages in the ordinary course of providing our Services to you. Instead, your messages are stored on your device and not typically stored on our servers. Once your messages are delivered, they are deleted from our servers.
  • Media Forwarding. When a user forwards media within a message, we may store that media temporarily on our servers to aid in more efficient delivery of additional forwards or other technical subjects.
  • Status Information for Doctors. You may provide us your status (Available or not Available for Audio/Video Calls). This will enable What’s Up Doctor to direct calls from patients or not.
  • Transactions And Payments Data. If you use our payments services, or use our Services meant for purchases or other financial transactions, we process additional information about you, including payment account and transaction information. Payment account and transaction information includes information needed to complete the transaction (for example, information about your payment method, invoicing details and transaction amount).
  • Customer Support And Other Communications. When you contact us for customer support or otherwise communicate with us, you may provide us with information related to your use of our Services, including copies of your messages, any other information you deem helpful, and how to contact you (e.g., an email address or phone number).

There are certain settings relating to location-related information which you can find in your device settings or the in-app settings, such as location sharing. Even if you do not use our location-related features, we use IP addresses and other information like phone number area codes to estimate your general location (e.g., city and country). We also use your location information for diagnostics and troubleshooting purposes.
  • Ratings. Patients can provide ratings for the quality of the service and quality of providers. Ratings help What’s Up Doctor adjust and optimize the services offered to help other users.
  • User Reports. Just as you can report other users, other users or third parties may also choose to report to us your interactions and your messages with them or others on our Services; for example, to report possible violations of our Terms or policies. When a report is made, we collect information on both the reporting user and reported user.
