Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 2026

You may share personal and medical details with us through this website. This policy explains what we collect, why we need it, who can see it, and the choices you have.

1. Who We Are

This website, drraveesh.com, is run by the practice of Dr. Raveesh Sunkara, Senior Consultant Neurosurgeon and Spine Surgeon, based at KIMS Arete Hospital, Gachibowli, Hyderabad. In this policy, "we" and "us" mean Dr. Sunkara and his team.

This policy covers this website and the messages you send through it. KIMS Arete Hospital is a separate organisation. When you are treated there, the hospital keeps its own records under its own privacy policy.

2. What We Collect

What you choose to send us through our forms:

  • Your name, phone number, email address, and your city or country
  • Your age, and whether you prefer an in-person visit or an online video consult
  • Your symptoms, condition, or the treatment you are asking about, and anything you write in your message
  • Files you attach to a second opinion or international case review, such as scans and medical reports

Medical details are sensitive, so please send only what we need to answer you. If you are writing on behalf of someone else, please make sure you have their permission first.

What is recorded automatically when you visit: our hosting provider keeps standard technical logs, such as your IP address, browser type and the pages requested. We also use your IP address briefly to block repeated or automated form submissions.

3. How We Use Your Information

  • To reply to your question or arrange the appointment you asked for
  • To review your case and prepare a second opinion or treatment estimate you have asked for
  • To contact you about your request by phone, email or WhatsApp
  • To support your care and keep the records it requires
  • To keep this website secure and working properly
  • To meet our legal and professional duties

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for third-party advertising.

4. Your Consent

By submitting a form, you agree that we may use the details you send for the purposes in this policy, including any medical information. You can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us. This will not affect anything we did before you withdrew it, but we may no longer be able to help with your request.

5. Who Can See Your Information

Your form submissions reach us by email and are not stored in a database on this website. They can be seen by:

  • Dr. Sunkara and the team members who handle your request
  • Hospital and clinical staff, when they are needed for your care
  • Service providers that run our systems: Google (email), Vercel (website hosting) and Hostinger (blog hosting)
  • Authorities or other parties, when the law requires it or when needed to protect someone's life or safety

Some of these providers may process information on servers outside India. If you message us on WhatsApp, WhatsApp's own privacy policy applies to that conversation.

6. Cookies and Embedded Content

We do not use advertising or analytics cookies on this website.

Some pages include content from other companies. Videos play through YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode, and YouTube receives data about you when you press play. The map on our contact page is provided by Google Maps, which may set its own cookies when it loads. Their privacy policies apply to that content.

7. How Long We Keep It

We keep your information for as long as we need it to deal with your request and provide your care, and for as long as medical, legal or tax rules require. After that, we delete it or remove anything that identifies you.

8. How We Protect It

This website uses an encrypted (HTTPS) connection, and access to your information is limited to the people who need it. No website or email system can be completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. If you would rather not send reports online, please contact us and we will suggest another way.

9. Your Rights

Subject to the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and other applicable law, you can ask us to:

  • Tell you what personal information we hold about you and how we use it
  • Correct or update information that is wrong or incomplete
  • Delete your information, unless we must keep it by law or for your medical records
  • Stop using your information, by withdrawing your consent
  • Name someone who can exercise these rights for you if you die or become unable to act

To make a request, use the contact details in section 13. If you are not satisfied with our response, you can complain to the Data Protection Board of India.

10. Children

A form about a child should be sent by a parent or legal guardian. If you are under 18, please ask a parent or guardian to contact us for you. If we learn that we have received a child's information without a guardian's consent, we will delete it unless we need it for the child's care.

11. Links to Other Websites

This website links to other sites, including social media and research sources. We are not responsible for how those sites handle your information, so please read their privacy policies.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as our website or the law changes. The date at the top of this page shows the latest version.

13. Contact and Grievances

For questions, requests or complaints about your information, please write to our Grievance Officer. We aim to resolve complaints within one month.
