POOFICIENT PRIVACY POLICY

Last Updated: November 19, 2025


At Pooficient, we are committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. We built this app to help parents understand and support their child's digestive health — not to collect data for advertising, resale, or any purpose unrelated to your child's well-being.


We do not sell personal information, do not allow advertisers, and do not share your child's data with third parties for marketing.

This Privacy Policy explains how Pooficient (operated by Pediatrik Sağlık Teknolojileri A.Ş.) collects, uses, shares, and protects personal information through the Pooficient mobile application ("App").


Important: Pooficient is a tracking and support tool, not a medical service. We do not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult your pediatrician for medical concerns.
