Privacy Policy

Last updated: 21 June 2026

This website (dryousefelias.com) is operated by Dr. Yousef Elias, a specialist in orthopedic surgery offering home-visit care in the Tel Aviv area. Your privacy matters. This page explains, in plain language, what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights.

1. Information we collect

We only collect information you choose to give us:

Patient reviews: the name, star rating, and review text you submit through the review form.
Visit requests: the name, phone number, and message you submit through the "Request a Home Visit" form.
Basic technical data: standard, anonymous information your browser sends to our hosting provider (such as general location and device type), used only to keep the site running securely.

2. How we use your information

To contact you back about your requested home visit.
To display patient reviews on the website, after they are reviewed and approved by Dr. Elias.
To maintain and improve the website.

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing.

Important about reviews: Approved reviews are shown publicly on this website, including the name you enter. Please do not include sensitive personal or medical details in a review. Visit-request messages (name, phone, message) are kept private and seen only by Dr. Elias.

3. Where your information is stored

Your information is stored securely with trusted service providers used to run this website — a database provider (Supabase) and a hosting provider (Netlify). All data is transmitted over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection.

4. How long we keep it

We keep your information only as long as needed for the purposes above. You may ask us to delete it at any time (see below).

5. Your rights

You may request to see, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you — including removing a review you submitted. To do so, email us at yousefelias90@gmail.com and we will act on your request.

6. Contact

For any privacy questions, contact Dr. Yousef Elias at yousefelias90@gmail.com.

This policy is provided in plain language for transparency. For full compliance with applicable laws (such as Israel's Protection of Privacy Law or the GDPR), we recommend having it reviewed by a legal professional.
