For privacy-related questions or requests concerning your personal data, please contact us using the email address above.
This Privacy Policy is intended to reflect the requirements of the applicable personal-data protection laws of Kosovo and, where applicable to a particular processing activity or individual, other relevant data-protection frameworks, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation and the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection.
2. When This Policy Applies
This Privacy Policy applies when you:
- visit or interact with our website;
- submit an appointment or treatment inquiry;
- communicate with us by email;
- communicate with us through WhatsApp;
- discuss or arrange a consultation or procedure;
- receive appointment, deposit, or booking communications from us;

Third-party services that you access directly, such as WhatsApp or payment services, may process personal data under their own privacy policies in addition to the processing described here.
3. Personal Data We Collect
The information we collect depends on how you interact with Swiss Azura Clinic.
Website and Technical Data
When you visit our website, certain technical information may be processed automatically.
Depending on your device, browser, consent preferences, and the technologies active on the website, this may include:
- IP address;
- browser type and version;
- device and operating-system information;
- pages visited;
- date and time of access;
- referring page or source;
- interaction and navigation data;
- cookie and similar technology identifiers;
- analytics events;
- advertising measurement events;
- consent and cookie preference information.
We use this information to operate the website, understand how it is used, maintain security, improve performance, and, where you have given the required consent, measure marketing and advertising activity.
General Contact Form
Our general contact form contains fields for:
- name;
- phone number, if provided;
- email address;
- subject, if provided;
- message.
At the date of this Privacy Policy, the general contact form does not transmit its contents to or store them in our backend system.
The appointment and inquiry form described below is a separate system and does transmit information to Swiss Azura Clinic.
Should the processing behaviour of the general contact form change, we will update this Privacy Policy accordingly.
Inquiry and Appointment Information
When you submit an inquiry through our appointment or consultation form, we collect:
- your name;
- your email address;
- your phone number, if provided;
- the service or treatment you are interested in;
- any message or additional information that you choose to provide.
The services selected through the form may include:
- Hair Transplant Consultation;
- FUE Hair Transplant;
- FUT Hair Transplant;
- Beard or Eyebrow Transplant;
- Other services or treatments.
The inquiry form is the beginning of the consultation and booking process. Submitting the form does not, by itself, create a confirmed appointment.
After receiving an inquiry, our team may contact you by email or another agreed communication method. Where appropriate, we may provide further information and deposit instructions. A booking is considered confirmed according to the booking process communicated to you by the Clinic.
Communications With Us
When you communicate with us by email, WhatsApp, or another agreed communication channel, we may process:
- your contact details;
- the content of your messages;
- questions you ask us;
- information about the treatment or service you are interested in;
- consultation and appointment discussions;
- deposit and booking communications;
- communication history;
- other information that you voluntarily provide.
Please provide only information that is relevant to your inquiry or treatment discussion.
Health-Related Information
Because Swiss Azura Clinic provides medical and aesthetic hair-restoration services, information that you voluntarily provide may reveal or relate to your health.
This may include information contained in:
- your selected treatment or service;
- descriptions of hair loss or scalp concerns;
- previous treatment information;
- information included in messages;
- information later provided as part of consultation or treatment preparation.
We ask that you do not provide unnecessary medical information through general website forms or messages.
Where personal data constitutes health information or another specially protected category of data, we process it only when an additional lawful condition for that type of data applies. Depending on the circumstances, this may include your explicit consent or processing necessary in connection with healthcare, treatment, or related services under appropriate confidentiality obligations.
Booking and Payment Information
When an inquiry progresses to a confirmed booking, we may process information necessary to manage the appointment and deposit process, including:
- customer identity and contact information;
- appointment information;
- selected service or treatment;
- deposit amount;
- payment status;
- payment or transaction reference;
- booking-related correspondence;
- other information needed to connect the payment with the relevant booking.
Payment infrastructure may involve ProCredit Bank Kosovo and its technical service providers, including Quipu, depending on the payment process being used. ProCredit Bank’s own privacy notice identifies Quipu as a technical service provider operating under a data-processing arrangement for relevant banking services.
Payment providers process certain information under their own legal responsibilities and privacy terms.
4. How We Use Personal Data
We may use personal data to:
- respond to questions and inquiries;
- understand which service or treatment you are interested in;
- contact you about your inquiry;
- arrange consultations;
- manage appointments and booking requests;
- provide deposit and payment instructions;
- confirm and reconcile booking-related payments;
- send operational and appointment-related emails;
- maintain records of communications;
- provide requested services;
- prepare for consultations and treatment;
- operate and secure our website and systems;
- identify technical problems and prevent misuse;
- understand website performance and visitor behaviour;
- improve the website and user experience;
- measure advertising performance where consent has been provided;
- protect our legal rights and respond to disputes;
- comply with applicable laws and lawful requests from authorities.
We do not use personal data for purposes that are incompatible with the purpose for which the information was collected unless permitted or required by applicable law.
5. Legal Bases for Processing
The legal basis for processing depends on the information involved and the reason for processing it.
Steps Requested Before Entering Into an Agreement
We may process personal data when you ask us to:
- respond to a treatment inquiry;
- provide information about our services;
- arrange a consultation;
- discuss a proposed treatment;
- begin the booking process;
- provide deposit instructions.
This processing is necessary to take steps at your request before entering into a service relationship or agreement.
Performance of an Agreement
Where you proceed with a booking or service, we may process personal data where necessary to:
- manage your booking;
- coordinate appointments;
- provide agreed services;
- manage related communications;

Legitimate Interests
Where permitted by applicable law, we may process information where this is necessary for our legitimate interests, including:

- maintaining appropriate communication records;
- securing our website and systems;
- preventing misuse and fraud;
- improving website performance;
- protecting and exercising legal rights.
When relying on legitimate interests, we consider the nature of the information involved and the effect of the processing on the individual.
Consent
We may rely on your consent for specific processing activities, including, where applicable:
- non-essential analytics cookies;
- advertising and marketing technologies;
- Meta Pixel;
- other non-essential tracking technologies;
- processing of health-related information where explicit consent is the applicable legal condition.
Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time.
Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.
Legal Obligations
We may process or retain information where necessary to comply with applicable legal obligations, including obligations related to:
- taxation;
- accounting;
- financial records;
- regulatory requirements;
- legal proceedings;
- lawful requests from public authorities.
6. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Our website uses cookies and related technologies for essential website functions and, subject to your choices, for analytics and advertising.
Necessary Technologies
Some technologies are required for the website to operate properly or to remember privacy and consent preferences.
Where a technology is strictly necessary for a requested website function, it may operate without optional tracking consent where permitted by applicable law.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our website.
Depending on the configuration and your consent preferences, analytics information may include information about:
- visits and sessions;
- pages viewed;
- navigation behaviour;
- traffic sources;
- device and browser characteristics;
- website interactions and events.
We use this information to understand website performance and improve the visitor experience.
Google publishes information about its handling of analytics data and international data-transfer arrangements.
Google Tag Manager
We use Google Tag Manager to manage and control website tags and integrations.
Google Tag Manager helps us deploy website technologies in a structured way. The technologies managed through it may themselves collect information or use cookies, depending on their purpose and your consent preferences.
Meta Pixel
Where you consent to advertising technologies, we may use Meta Pixel to understand the effectiveness of advertising activity and measure interactions connected with our campaigns.
Meta’s Business Tools terms and privacy materials describe the processing relationships and responsibilities connected with data processed through Meta business technologies.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
When you visit the website, you can manage non-essential cookies and similar technologies through our cookie consent interface.
You can:
- accept optional technologies;
- reject optional technologies;
- manage categories individually;
- later change your preferences through the cookie settings interface.
Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that lawfully occurred before the preference was changed.
7. Who We Share Personal Data With
We share personal data only where this is necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy or where required by law.
Depending on the service involved, recipients may include the following categories.
Clinic Personnel and Professionals
Information may be accessible to authorized members of Swiss Azura Clinic and relevant professionals involved in:
- responding to inquiries;
- consultation;
- appointment administration;
- booking;
- payment administration;
- treatment preparation;
- provision of requested services.
Access should be limited to what is necessary for the person’s role and the relevant purpose.
Hosting and Infrastructure
Our website application and PostgreSQL database are hosted on VPS infrastructure provided by netcup.
This infrastructure is used for the technical operation of the website, inquiry system, application, and database.
netcup publishes its own privacy information concerning the services it provides and the information it processes in that context.
Email Delivery
We use Resend as an email delivery provider for operational communications.
This may involve processing information necessary to deliver email communications, such as:
- recipient email address;
- sender and recipient information;
- email content;
- delivery and technical metadata.
Resend publishes privacy, data-processing, and subprocessor information relating to its services.
Analytics and Advertising Providers
Subject to your consent preferences and the website’s configuration, data may be processed by:
- Google, in connection with Google Analytics and related technologies;
- Meta, in connection with Meta Pixel and related business tools.
The role of each provider may vary depending on the processing activity and applicable contractual arrangements.
Payment and Banking Providers
Payment and deposit transactions may involve:
- ProCredit Bank Kosovo;
- Quipu;
- other financial institutions or payment infrastructure providers involved in completing the transaction.
These parties may process information for payment execution, transaction security, compliance, fraud prevention, and other purposes under their own legal obligations and privacy terms.
Where you choose to contact or communicate with us through WhatsApp, the communication also involves WhatsApp and its associated infrastructure.
Your use of WhatsApp is subject to the privacy terms applicable to that service.
Information you send to Swiss Azura Clinic through WhatsApp may also be retained by us where necessary to manage your inquiry, consultation, or booking.
Professional Advisers and Authorities
Where necessary, information may also be disclosed to:
- legal advisers;
- accountants;
- auditors;
- insurers;
- regulators;
- courts;
- public authorities;
- law-enforcement authorities.
We make such disclosures only where legally permitted, legally required, or necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal rights.
8. International Data Transfers
Swiss Azura Clinic LLC is established in Kosovo and serves clients and website visitors from Kosovo, Albania, Switzerland, and other countries.
Some of our service providers operate internationally or use infrastructure and subprocessors located in different jurisdictions.
As a result, personal data may be processed outside the country where you live.
Where applicable law requires additional safeguards for international transfers, we take steps appropriate to the circumstances and the service involved. Depending on the transfer, these may include recognized adequacy arrangements, contractual safeguards, or other lawful transfer mechanisms.
Google publishes information concerning its international transfer mechanisms, while Resend publishes information concerning its subprocessors and participation in applicable data-transfer frameworks.
You may contact us at info@swissazuraclinic.com for further information about international transfers relevant to your personal data.
9. How Long We Keep Personal Data
We do not keep personal data indefinitely.
Because different types of records serve different purposes, retention periods are determined according to factors including:
- the reason the information was collected;
- whether an inquiry remains active;
- whether a consultation or booking proceeds;
- the duration of the customer or treatment relationship;
- the need for reasonable follow-up;
- accounting and tax requirements;
- legal or regulatory retention requirements;
- relevant limitation periods;
- ongoing or anticipated disputes;
- fraud-prevention and security requirements.
Inquiry information that is no longer needed will not be retained solely because it was previously collected.
Booking, payment, accounting, or treatment-related records may need to be retained for longer where required by law or necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims.
Where we receive a valid deletion request, we will delete or anonymize eligible information unless continued retention is permitted or required by applicable law.
Kosovo’s data-protection framework permits transparency notices to state either the applicable retention period or the criteria used to determine it.
10. How We Protect Personal Data
We use technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal data against:
- unauthorized access;
- unauthorized disclosure;
- inappropriate alteration;
- accidental loss;
- destruction;
- misuse.
Our inquiry system uses encryption for selected personal information stored in the system, including key customer identification and communication fields. The system also uses a derived representation of the email address for internal lookup and indexing purposes.
However, no online service, network, or data-storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We therefore continually treat security as an operational responsibility rather than an absolute guarantee.
11. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on the law applicable to you and the circumstances of the processing, you may have the right to:
- be informed about the use of your personal data;
- request access to personal data we hold about you;
- request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information;
- request deletion of eligible personal data;
- request restriction of processing in certain circumstances;
- object to certain processing;
- request data portability where applicable;
- withdraw consent where processing is based on consent;
- receive information about applicable safeguards for certain international transfers;
- lodge a complaint with the relevant data-protection authority.
Kosovo’s data-protection framework provides rights including access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, consent withdrawal in applicable cases, and the right to complain to the Information and Privacy Agency.
To exercise a privacy right, contact:
Please clearly describe your request and provide enough information for us to identify the relevant records.
We may request reasonable information to verify your identity before disclosing, changing, or deleting personal data.
Requests will be handled in accordance with the requirements and time limits of applicable law.
12. Automated Decision-Making
The online inquiry and booking process described in this Privacy Policy is not designed to make decisions about you solely through automated processing that produce legal or similarly significant effects.
Treatment suitability, consultation decisions, and booking communications involve human review and communication with the Clinic.
Where this changes materially, we will update this Privacy Policy and provide any additional information required by applicable law.
13. Children and Minors
Our website and online inquiry process are not designed specifically for children.
Please do not submit personal or health-related information about a minor unless you are the minor’s parent, legal guardian, or otherwise legally authorized to do so.
Where a service or consultation concerns a minor, additional consent, authorization, identity verification, or other safeguards may be required according to the circumstances and applicable law.
14. Third-Party Websites and Services
Our website may contain links to third-party websites, platforms, communication tools, or services.
These may include services such as:
- WhatsApp;
- social-media platforms;
- map services;
- payment and banking services;
- other external websites.
When you leave our website or interact directly with a third-party service, that provider may collect and process information under its own privacy policy.
Swiss Azura Clinic is not responsible for the privacy practices of independent third-party services. We encourage you to review their privacy information before providing personal data.
15. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when:
- our website changes;
- we introduce new services or technologies;
