Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-11-03

This policy explains what personal data Seshu (سيشو) processes, why, who it is shared with, how long it is kept, and how to ask for it to be deleted.

Seshu is a WhatsApp reception assistant that clinics use to answer administrative questions and manage appointments. It does not give medical advice and does not handle emergencies. Seshu is currently in its pilot phase.

Seshu does not handle emergencies. Call the ambulance on 123 or go to the nearest emergency department. Do not wait for a reply on WhatsApp.

1. Who is responsible for the data

When a patient messages a clinic that uses Seshu, the clinic decides why and how the patient’s data is used. Seshu processes that data on the clinic’s behalf, only to provide the service to the clinic.

2. Data we store about patients

We store only what is needed to manage appointments:

We never store complaints, symptoms, diagnoses or other health details. If a message contains this kind of information, its text is not saved and the conversation is handed to the clinic team.

4. Message text

To understand and answer a request, the content of each message is processed. The text of messages is deleted after 3 days by default.

5. Why we use the data

We do not sell personal data, we do not use it for advertising, and we do not use patients’ messages to train AI models.

6. Automated replies and AI

Seshu uses an AI model to understand messages and to draft replies about administrative matters. Appointment times always come from the clinic’s real schedule and are checked again by the system before a booking is confirmed.

The AI does not make medical decisions. Medical, urgent or unclear messages, and any request to speak to a person, are handed to the clinic team.

7. Service providers (sub-processors)

We use the following providers to run Seshu. They process data only to provide their service to us, for the purposes above.

Sub-processors
ProviderWhat it does for Seshu
Meta (WhatsApp Business Platform)Sends and receives WhatsApp messages
YCloudWhatsApp provider that connects Seshu to the WhatsApp Business Platform
SupabaseDatabase (European Union, Frankfurt region)
HostingerServer that runs Seshu’s workflows
OpenAIAI model that understands messages and drafts replies

Some of this processing happens outside Egypt, for example in the European Union. We limit what each provider receives to what it needs.

8. How long we keep data

Retention periods
DataHow long it is kept
Message textDeleted after 3 days by default
Patients who have not consentedDeleted after 48 hours
Patients with no activityAnonymized after 12 months without activity
Name, phone number, appointmentsWhile the clinic uses Seshu, or until erased on request

9. Access and erasure

Patients can ask to see their data, correct it, or have it erased, and can withdraw consent at any time.

When data is erased on request, it is deleted from Seshu. You can still contact the clinic directly, for example by phone.

10. How we protect data

No system is completely secure. If a security incident affects personal data, we will inform the affected clinics.

11. This website

This website uses no cookies, analytics, tracking, forms, or third-party scripts or fonts. It is hosted on Cloudflare Pages, which may keep standard technical logs (such as IP address and the page requested) for security.

12. Children

Seshu is not meant to be used by children on their own. Appointments for a child should be made by a parent or guardian.

13. Emergencies

Seshu does not handle emergencies. If a message looks like an emergency, Seshu tells the patient to call the ambulance on 123 or go to the nearest emergency department, and alerts the clinic team. In an emergency, call 123 directly — do not wait for a reply on WhatsApp.

14. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy. The date at the top shows the current version.
