Effective date: 14 October 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Erlegen Sleep Technologies, a brand of ERMED Hastane Ekipmanları ve Medikal San. Tic. Ltd. Şti. ("Erlegen", "we", "us"), collects, uses and protects personal data when you visit www.erlegen.net, contact us, submit a form on our website or on LinkedIn, or meet us at trade events.

1. Data controller

2. Personal data we collect

• Identity and professional data: name, job title, company/institution name, country.
• Contact data: business e-mail address, phone number.
• Request data: products of interest, sample requests, the content of your messages, distributor or partnership enquiries.
• Technical data: IP address, browser type, pages visited and similar usage data collected through cookies or similar technologies (see section 8).

We do not intentionally collect health data or patient information through our website or forms. Please do not send us such data.

3. How we collect it

• Contact and distributor forms on our website;
• LinkedIn Lead Gen Forms submitted in response to our LinkedIn advertising (LinkedIn shares with us the information you choose to submit);
• E-mails and phone calls you initiate;
• Business cards and visitor forms at congresses and trade fairs.

4. Why we use it and our legal bases

• To answer your enquiry, send product information and samples, and prepare quotations — necessary to take steps at your request before entering into a contract, and our legitimate interest in responding to business enquiries.
• To evaluate and manage distributor and business partnerships — contract preparation/performance and our legitimate interest.
• To send you marketing communications (news, product launches, event invitations) — only with your consent, which you can withdraw at any time.
• To operate, secure and improve our website and measure our advertising — our legitimate interest and, where required, your consent to cookies.
• To comply with legal obligations (e.g. commercial, tax and medical device regulations).

Where you are located in the European Economic Area or the UK, the legal bases above correspond to Article 6(1)(a), (b), (c) and (f) GDPR. For all data subjects, we process data in accordance with the Turkish Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698 (KVKK).

5. Who we share it with

• Service providers that support our business, such as e-mail and website hosting providers, FormSubmit (which delivers our website form submissions to our e-mail inbox), Google (Google Analytics) and LinkedIn (advertising and lead forms);
• Our authorised distributors in your region, only where needed to respond to your request (for example, to supply samples or a quotation locally);
• Logistics companies, when we ship samples or products to you;
• Public authorities, where required by law.

We do not sell personal data.

6. International transfers

Some of our service providers (for example LinkedIn, Google, FormSubmit and e-mail providers) may process data outside Türkiye or outside your country. Where this happens, we rely on the safeguards permitted by applicable law, such as standard contractual clauses or, where applicable, your explicit consent.

7. How long we keep it

We keep enquiry and contact data for as long as needed to handle your request and our business relationship, and generally no longer than 3 years after our last contact, unless a longer period is required by law (for example, commercial and tax records). Marketing data is kept until you withdraw your consent. Records relating to free product samples are kept for 5 years as required by Turkish medical device promotion rules.

8. Cookies and analytics

Our website may use essential cookies required for it to function and, where enabled, analytics and advertising technologies (such as Google Analytics and the LinkedIn Insight Tag) to understand how visitors use the site and to measure our LinkedIn advertising. You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings.

9. Your rights

Depending on applicable law, you may ask us to: confirm whether we process your data and give you a copy; correct inaccurate data; delete data or restrict its processing; object to processing based on legitimate interests; withdraw consent at any time (this does not affect processing before withdrawal); and receive information about third parties to whom data was transferred. You may also lodge a complaint with your data protection authority (in Türkiye, the Personal Data Protection Authority – KVKK).

To exercise your rights, write to info@ermedmedical.com or to our postal address above. We will respond within 30 days.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The latest version will always be published on this page with its effective date.
