IVF Check the clinic register

Legal

Privacy policy

This site collects nothing about you. There are no accounts, no cookies, no analytics and no forms. This page explains exactly what that means, and the one exception: email you choose to send us.

Last updated 11 November 2026 Applies to ivfcheck.org Law India

1. The short version

We do not collect personal data. There is no sign-up, no login, no comment section, no review form, no newsletter and no contact form. Nothing you do on this site is stored on our servers about you. There is no advertising and no tracking pixel.

The only personal data that ever reaches us is an email you decide to write, and the contents of that email are used only to answer it.

2. What we collect

Nothing. Specifically, we do not set or read:

  • cookies of any kind, including "essential" or "analytics" cookies;
  • browser local storage, session storage or IndexedDB;
  • device fingerprinting, canvas or font probing;
  • advertising identifiers, pixels, beacons or tag managers;
  • your name, phone number, address or date of birth.

You can browse every page, search every clinic and print every checklist without identifying yourself in any way.

3. Server logs

Like any website, the servers that deliver our pages record basic technical information for security and capacity purposes: the requested URL, the time, the response code, the referring page where your browser sends one, and the IP address the request came from. These logs are held by our hosting provider, are not combined with anything else, and are not used to build a profile of you or to target advertising. They are retained for a short period for abuse prevention and then discarded.

Search on this site runs entirely inside your browser. The list of clinics is downloaded once as a static file and matched against what you type on your own device. Your search terms are never transmitted to us, never logged and never associated with you.

If you follow a link such as /find?q=chennai, the term appears in the address bar so you can bookmark or share the result. That is how every website's address bar works; we do not store it.

5. Email you send us

If you write to one of our addresses, we receive your email address, whatever you write, and any attachments. We use it only to reply to you and to act on what you have told us, for example, to correct an entry. We do not add you to a mailing list, sell your address, or share it, except where we are legally obliged to disclose it.

We keep correspondence for as long as it is needed to deal with the matter, and for a reasonable period afterwards so that a decision can be explained if it is challenged. You can ask us to delete it.

Please do not send medical records, reports, prescriptions or identifying details about a patient. We do not need them and we are not equipped to hold them securely.

6. Clinic contact details

The national register publishes an email address for each clinic. We reproduce it because it is part of the public record and is useful to a patient. This is information about a business, not about a patient.

If you run a clinic and want the email address on your entry removed while the rest of the entry stays, write to [email protected] and we will remove it. We do not remove the entry itself. See corrections and takedown.

7. Third parties

This site makes no third-party requests. Fonts, styles, scripts, icons and images are all served from ivfcheck.org. There is no Google Analytics, no Google Fonts, no social embed, no CDN that sees your visitors, and no embedded video.

Pages linking to the national registry, the ART Rules or the CPGRAMS grievance portal take you to government websites. Those sites have their own privacy practices, which we do not control. Once you leave ivfcheck.org, this policy no longer applies.

8. Your rights under the DPDP Act, 2023

The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 gives a person rights over their personal data: to access it, to correct it, to erase it, to nominate someone to act for them, and to complain.

Because we do not process personal data, in most cases there is nothing for us to show you or delete. Where you have written to us and we hold that correspondence, you can ask us to:

  • tell you what we hold about you;
  • correct anything inaccurate;
  • erase it, where we are not required to keep it.

Write to [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days.

9. Children

This site is written for adults making a decision about treatment. It is not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect anything from anyone under 18. Since we collect nothing from anyone, this is straightforward in practice.

10. Changes

If we ever add a feature that collects something, such as a newsletter, a review form or a correction form, this page will be rewritten before that feature goes live, and the new version dated. The date at the top of this page is the date of the current version.

11. Grievance contact

Data protection queries and complaints: [email protected]. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may complain to the Data Protection Board of India under the DPDP Act, 2023.

This page describes current practice, not a promise about a future product. It is not legal advice to you.
