Account Deletion Policy

We respect your right to data sovereignty and control over your personal information.

Last updated: December 30, 2025

Important Platform Notice

Legal Scope

AalaDoc does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. AalaDoc serves solely as a booking and discovery platform that connects users with independent healthcare providers and laboratories.

This deletion policy covers only data stored on AalaDoc's platform and does not extend to medical records maintained by healthcare providers in their own systems.

How to Delete Your Account

User-initiated termination

AalaDoc provides a straightforward way for users to request the permanent deletion of their accounts and associated booking data.

Option 1: In-App Request

Navigate to Profile → Settings → Account Security → Delete Account. You will be asked to confirm your identity via OTP before the request is processed. This is the fastest method.

Option 2: Email Request

Send a formal request from your registered email to contact.aaladoc@gmail.com with the subject "Account Deletion Request". Include your full name and phone number for verification.

⚠️

Deletion is permanent and irreversible. Once completed, you will lose access to all appointment history, booking confirmations, and any data associated with your account.

Data Retention Lifecycle
