1. Who are we?
Odyonom is a cloud-based management software for hearing care centres, provided by Virtual Riddle Teknoloji A.Ş. ("Odyonom", "we"). Address: Maslak Mah., AOS 55. Sok. 42 Maslak B Blok, No: 4/542, Sarıyer, İstanbul · Tel: +90 212 963 03 63 · E-mail: [email protected]
2. We have two different roles
- odyonom.com visitors and people who request a demo or contact us: the data controller is Odyonom.
- App users' account, sign-in and security data; the representative and billing details of subscribing businesses: the data controller is Odyonom.
- Data of patients and staff of subscribing hearing centres ("Tenant") entered into the app: the data controller is the Tenant. Odyonom is the data processor: we process this data on the Tenant's instructions and under the data processing agreement.
If you are a patient of a hearing centre, please contact that centre about your data. We forward requests we receive to the centre without delay.
3. What data do we process in the app and why?
- Name, surname, e-mail and phone (if any): creating the account, sign-in, notifications and support.
- Password hash, two-step verification and passkey (password-free sign-in key) details, session, device and IP logs: account and platform security.
- The subscribing business's trade name, tax details, billing address and payment records: subscription, billing and e-Invoice.

The legal grounds, retention periods and rights relating to app users are set out in the user privacy notice, which is shown on the app's sign-up and invitation screens.

Health data. Tenants enter their patients' hearing tests, device and prescription details into the app. This is special category personal data.
