At HairCostCalculator.com, we are committed to protecting the
privacy and security of our users. This Privacy
Policy outlines how we collect, process, and safeguard your information when you interact with our hair
transplant calculator and AI-powered simulation tools.
1. Introduction & Consent
By using our website, you hereby consent to our Privacy Policy and agree to its terms. This tool is designed
for individuals aged 18 and older.
2. Information We Collect
To provide accurate clinical projections and cost estimates, we collect several types of data:
Voluntary Assessment Data: Age group, hair loss pattern (Norwood Scale), hair texture,
hair caliber, and estimated graft requirements.
Contact Information: When you request a "Medical Review," we collect your name, email
address, and WhatsApp/phone number to facilitate expert consultation.
Visual Data (Photos): Users may upload or capture photos of the scalp (front and crown
views) for AI-driven diagnostic analysis and 12-month visual projections.
Automatic Technical Data: Like most websites, we collect technical data such as IP
addresses, browser type, referring pages, and time stamps via log files and Google Analytics.
3. How We Use Your Information
Your information serves the following professional purposes:
Algorithmic Accuracy: To calculate precise graft needs and cost estimates based on the
global hair restoration market.
Human Review & Data Verification: Our pricing database is built using publicly available information collected through automated data tools. However, all collected data is reviewed, verified, and approved by our team through a human review process before being included in our system.
In addition, our team regularly contacts hair transplant clinics in different countries to collect updated price information and verify market accuracy. Pricing data is reviewed and updated on a regular basis, typically on a monthly basis.
The estimates provided by this tool are for informational and comparison purposes only and do not represent a medical diagnosis or a final price quote.
AI Clinical Preview: To process visual data using advanced vision models, providing a
realistic simulation of potential post-operative results.
Expert Medical Consultation: To securely transmit your lead data to our verified
excellence partners in Turkey for a professional clinical assessment.
Site Optimization: To analyze usage trends and improve the functional performance of
our calculator.
4. Data Processing & Third-Party Disclosure
We prioritize data integrity and do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties. We utilize
industry-standard services to process your data:
AI Vision APIs: Images are processed via encrypted channels by elite AI infrastructure
providers (including Google Gemini and Imagen).
Cloud Infrastructure: While our website is hosted on secure professional servers,
AI-driven visual analysis and simulations are processed via encrypted channels on secure cloud
infrastructure provided by our AI partners.
Secure Webhooks: Contact information is transmitted via secure Google Apps Script
webhooks to our internal management systems.
Analytical Tools: Google Analytics is used to understand user behavior and optimize
site experience.
5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
HairCostCalculator.com uses cookies to store information about
visitors' preferences and to record user-specific information on which pages the user accesses or visits.
This
helps us provide a more personalized experience. You can choose to disable cookies through your individual
browser options.
6. Image Privacy & Security Strategy
Recognizing the sensitive nature of medical-related imagery, we implement a "No Permanent Storage" policy for
identifiable raw photos:
Photos uploaded for simulation are used for real-time processing only.
We do not maintain a permanent, searchable database of identifiable user faces on our public-facing
servers.
Generated simulations are for personal visualization and are not indexed by public search engines.
7. Your Rights (GDPR & Data Protection)
Under global data protection regulations, you have the right to access, rectify, or erase your personal data.
Access: Request copies of your personal data.
Rectification: Request that we correct any information you believe is inaccurate.
Erasure: Request that we erase your personal data from our lead systems.
Opt-Out & Clinical Follow-up: Users may opt-out of clinical follow-ups at any time by
replying "STOP" or contacting us via email. This process is managed in accordance with our strict
data-sharing agreements with our verified excellence clinics.
All results generated by HairCostCalculator.com are for
informational and visualization purposes only. The output of the AI simulation and calculator does not
constitute medical advice, diagnosis, or a definitive surgical plan. A formal clinical assessment by a
qualified
ISHRS member surgeon is mandatory before any surgical procedure. By using this tool, you also agree to our
Terms of Use, which further detail the limitations and legal boundaries of
our
AI simulations and cost estimations.
9. Data Security
We employ robust security measures to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure of your
personal information and data stored on our site.
