How to delete your Docplanner account

About deleting your Docplanner account

Docplanner operates as a comprehensive healthcare booking platform, connecting patients with doctors and clinics across numerous international markets. The service manages sensitive personal information, including full names, contact details, medical specialties searched, and appointment history. Users might choose to delete their account if they have finished their medical journey, are concerned about how their booking habits are stored, or simply wish to minimize their digital footprint within the healthcare sector.

Deleting your Docplanner account is a permanent step that removes your access to the patient portal and terminates your active presence on the platform. Consider the following before requesting removal:

• You will lose access to your historical appointment history and records of past visits.
• Active upcoming appointments linked to your profile may be canceled automatically by the system.
• Your profile will no longer appear in the databases used by clinic partners to manage patient waitlists.

What happens to your data

When you request the deletion of your Docplanner account, the service typically initiates a process to purge your personal identifiers from their active production databases. However, Docplanner must adhere to strict financial and medical record-keeping regulations, meaning some data may be retained for legal compliance or tax auditing purposes in the countries where they operate.

Data types collected and potentially archived include:

• Personal identification: Name, email address, and phone number provided during registration.
• Appointment metadata: Dates, times, and types of medical consultations booked via the platform.
• Communication logs: Interactions held with customer support or automated appointment reminders.
• Log data: Technical identifiers like IP addresses and device info collected for security and analytics.

Privacy considerations

Docplanner utilizes tracking pixels and cookies to optimize the user experience and, in some cases, to facilitate retargeting or interest-based advertising. Because Docplanner handles healthcare-related information, maintaining control over your profile is essential to prevent unwanted data accumulation.

Privacy tips for Docplanner users:

• Review the privacy settings in your dashboard before requesting deletion to see what marketing consents you have enabled.
• If you have linked your Google or Facebook account to Docplanner, revoke third-party access in those apps separately.
• Request a data export if you need your appointment history before proceeding with permanent account deletion.
