Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 16, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Erfan MD (“we,” “us,” or “our”) handles information when you visit https://erfan-md.site/, read our articles, use the WhatsApp pairing-code interface, submit a contact form, subscribe to the newsletter, or interact with other features available on this website.

We aim to explain what information may be collected, why it is processed, which types of service providers may receive it, how retention is handled, and what choices may be available to you.

Erfan MD is the operating name used on this website. It is an independent website and is not owned, operated, sponsored, or endorsed by WhatsApp LLC or Meta Platforms, Inc. References to WhatsApp and Meta identify the relevant products, services, and technologies.

1. Who Operates This Website

This website operates under the name Erfan MD. For questions about privacy, data handling, or requests concerning information submitted through the website, use the contact details below.

If a registered company or another legal entity is responsible for operating the website, its legal name should be included in this section as applicable. The name and contact information shown here must accurately identify the person or organization responsible for the website.

2. Information We May Collect

The information involved depends on the feature you use, the information you submit, and the configuration of the relevant website or third-party service.

2.1 Pairing-Code Requests

The pairing-code interface allows you to select a connection server and submit a WhatsApp phone number. When you submit a request, the number is sent through the website’s request process to the selected server so that the service can attempt to return a pairing code.

Depending on the request handler and server configuration, information associated with a request may include:

  • The phone number entered into the form.
  • The selected connection server.
  • The time of the request.
  • The request result, status, or error message.
  • Technical information used to deliver, secure, troubleshoot, or protect the request.

The selected server may process or record information according to its operator, software, configuration, security practices, and retention rules. We do not guarantee that an independent server will never log or store a submitted number.

Only submit a phone number you own or are authorized to use. Do not submit another person’s number without permission, and never publish pairing codes, verification codes, passwords, session files, or other authentication credentials.

2.2 Information Associated With a Connected Account

Submitting a phone number to request a pairing code is different from connecting a WhatsApp account to a third-party bot or service.

If you subsequently connect an account, the information accessible to the connected service may depend on the connection method, software implementation, permissions, session access, and the service operator. Depending on the implementation, the service may be able to process session-related data or information available through the connected account.

Do not assume that the phone number is the only information that may be processed after an account is connected. Before linking an account, review the operator’s data-handling information and understand how access can be revoked.

Erfan MD does not guarantee the privacy, security, retention, or deletion practices of an independently operated connection server.

2.3 Contact Form Information

When you submit the contact form, the information you provide may include:

  • Your name.
  • Your email address.
  • Your WhatsApp or telephone number, if supplied.
  • The category or subject of your enquiry.
  • A website or project link, if supplied.
  • The message or question you submit.
  • Technical information used to deliver, secure, or troubleshoot the submission.

Contact information is used to understand and respond to enquiries, provide relevant support, investigate reported issues, and communicate about a request you have submitted.

The Contact page states that submissions are processed through an external form service. That provider may receive the details submitted and technical information needed to deliver or protect the form. Its processing may also be governed by its own privacy policy and service terms.

The name of the form-processing provider should be confirmed from the actual WordPress form configuration and identified in the website’s privacy information where appropriate. We will not identify a provider by guesswork.

Please do not submit passwords, verification codes, pairing codes, session files, recovery codes, private conversations, or other unnecessary sensitive information through the contact form.

2.4 Newsletter Subscriptions

The website provides a newsletter subscription form. If you subscribe, your email address and subscription status may be processed to manage the subscription and send the updates you requested.

The information may be handled by the website or by an email or newsletter provider, depending on the actual configuration. The provider’s identity, available unsubscribe method, data access, and retention practices should be verified before newsletter processing is described as a confirmed service.

You may unsubscribe using the method provided in a newsletter message where available, or contact us to ask about your subscription.

2.5 Technical and Usage Information

When you visit the website, the hosting environment and configured technical services may process information such as:

  • IP address.
  • Browser type and version.
  • Operating system and general device information.
  • Requested pages and resources.
  • Date and time of requests.
  • Referring page or URL, where supplied by the browser.
  • Request status, error records, and diagnostic information.
  • Information used to detect abuse, protect website systems, or troubleshoot technical problems.

The actual information recorded depends on the hosting environment, server logs, security configuration, plugins, and services enabled on the website.

3. How We Use Information

Depending on the feature and the information involved, information may be processed for the following purposes:

  • Website operation: Deliver pages, maintain website functions, and handle technical requests.
  • Pairing requests: Forward a submitted number to the selected connection server for processing.
  • Support: Review enquiries, answer questions, troubleshoot problems, and follow up on requests.
  • Newsletter delivery: Manage subscriptions and deliver updates requested by subscribers where this feature is operational.
  • Security: Detect abuse, prevent misuse, investigate errors, and protect systems.
  • Performance and improvement: Assess technical performance and understand site usage where appropriate tools are enabled.
  • Advertising: Serve, measure, and manage advertisements where advertising services are enabled.
  • Legal obligations: Respond to valid legal requests, protect rights, resolve disputes, and comply with applicable law.

Information should be processed for purposes relevant to the feature through which it was collected and limited to what is reasonably necessary for those purposes.

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small files that a website or service may store in your browser or on your device. Websites and third-party providers may also use pixels, web beacons, scripts, local storage, and similar technologies.

Depending on the services actually enabled, these technologies may support:

  • Essential website functionality and security.
  • Remembering preferences and settings.
  • Analytics and performance measurement.
  • Advertising delivery, measurement, and frequency management.
  • Fraud prevention and the detection of invalid activity.
  • Advertising personalization where enabled and permitted.

The exact cookies and technologies used depend on the website configuration and the third-party services loaded when you visit a page. A particular technology should not be described as active unless its presence has been verified.

4.1 Advertising Cookies and Identifiers

When Google advertising services are used on this website, Google and its partners may use or read cookies, web beacons, IP addresses, browser information, online identifiers, page URLs, or similar technologies to deliver and measure advertisements, manage advertisement frequency, detect invalid activity, and personalize advertisements where enabled and permitted.

Other advertising vendors may also use cookies or similar technologies when their advertising services are enabled. Those vendors may process information according to their own policies and settings.

These disclosures describe possible processing associated with enabled advertising services; they do not mean that Google AdSense or another advertising vendor is active on every page at all times.

For more information, read How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services and How Google uses information in advertising.

You can manage available advertising personalization settings at Google Ads Settings. You can also visit AboutAds.info for information about choices offered by participating advertising companies.

4.2 Managing Cookies

You can use your browser settings to view, delete, or block cookies. Some website functions may not work correctly if essential technologies are blocked.

Browser settings alone may not control every form of advertising or technical processing. Where a consent interface is required, use that interface to make or change the choices it offers.

For additional information, read our Cookie Policy.

5. Advertising and Google Services

Erfan MD may use Google advertising products, analytics services, or other third-party services where they are enabled. The actual services and data flows depend on the configuration deployed on the website.

When Google advertising services are used, information such as IP addresses, browser data, cookies, page URLs, web beacons, or other identifiers may be processed as described in Google’s policies. Depending on the settings and applicable requirements, information may be used to serve and measure ads, prevent fraud and abuse, manage ad frequency, or personalize advertising.

When other advertising or analytics vendors are enabled, their own technologies and privacy policies may also apply. The website operator should maintain a list of services actually enabled and ensure the disclosures and links correspond to that configuration.

Google’s privacy information is available here:

This Privacy Policy provides disclosures. It does not itself obtain, store, or transmit a user’s advertising consent. A separate consent mechanism and correct advertising configuration must be implemented where required.

6. Consent and Privacy Choices

Some privacy laws require consent before certain non-essential cookies, local storage, or advertising data processing can be used. The requirements depend on a user’s location, the technologies involved, and the applicable law.

Where consent is required, the website’s actual consent mechanism must present the relevant choices, record the user’s choice where required, and communicate that choice to the relevant advertising or analytics tags. Merely linking to this Privacy Policy does not replace that process.

Where a Google-certified consent management platform is required for serving personalized ads, the website must use a qualifying platform and configure it appropriately. The applicable settings and provider list must match the advertising services in use.

You may also manage available cookie settings through your browser and advertising personalization settings through the relevant provider. Changing a preference does not necessarily remove information processed before the change or stop all technical processing.

7. How Information May Be Shared

Information may be shared with service providers or other recipients when reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy or when otherwise permitted or required by applicable law.

7.1 Hosting and Technical Providers

Hosting, maintenance, security, and technical providers may process information needed to operate, protect, maintain, or troubleshoot the website.

7.2 Connection Servers

When you submit a pairing request, the phone number you enter is sent to the selected connection server. The server operator may process the request and associated technical information according to its own system and practices.

7.3 Contact Form and Email Providers

The external form service configured for the Contact page may receive submitted contact information. Email or newsletter providers may process subscription details or communications where those services are configured.

7.4 Analytics and Advertising Providers

If analytics or advertising services are enabled, their providers may process technical information, identifiers, page-usage information, or other data necessary for measurement, ad delivery, security, or related functions.

7.5 Legal and Safety Requirements

Information may be disclosed where required or permitted by applicable law, in response to valid legal process, or where reasonably necessary to protect the rights, security, and safety of the website, its users, or other people.

7.6 Business Changes

If operation of the website is transferred or reorganized, relevant information may be handled as part of that process subject to applicable legal requirements and appropriate notices where required.

8. Third-Party Websites and Services

The website may link to third-party websites, documentation, software, APIs, messaging services, or other external resources.

When you follow a link or use an independent service, that provider may collect information directly from your browser or from information you submit. Its privacy practices, security controls, terms, and retention rules may differ from ours.

We do not control every external provider and cannot guarantee its content, security, availability, privacy practices, or conduct. Review the relevant provider’s policies before submitting information or connecting an account.

9. Data Retention

We aim to retain information handled directly by the website only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including responding to enquiries, managing subscriptions, operating requested features, protecting the website, complying with legal obligations, and resolving disputes.

The actual retention period depends on the information involved, the system that stores it, the purposes of processing, applicable legal requirements, and the website’s configuration.

We do not promise a fixed retention period unless it has been verified and documented. Independent connection servers, contact form services, newsletter providers, analytics providers, and advertising partners may retain information according to their own systems and policies. We cannot guarantee deletion of records held independently by those providers.

Where appropriate and permitted by law, information may be deleted, anonymized, or securely disposed of when it is no longer reasonably needed for its purpose.

10. International Data Transfers

Visitors may access the website from different countries. Depending on the services involved, information may be processed on servers located outside your country or region.

Hosting providers, contact-form services, newsletter providers, advertising vendors, and connection servers may operate in different jurisdictions. Privacy protections and legal requirements vary between locations.

Where an international transfer is subject to legal safeguards, the applicable requirements depend on the law that governs the processing and the role of the relevant parties.

11. Data Security

We take reasonable steps appropriate to the website and the information involved to help protect information against unauthorized access, misuse, loss, or alteration.

The safeguards in use depend on the relevant system and provider. No internet transmission, website, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

You can reduce risks by keeping credentials private, limiting the information you submit, using trusted devices, and never sharing pairing codes, verification codes, passwords, API keys, or session files.

12. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location and the law that applies, you may have rights relating to personal information. These may include rights to:

  • Request access to personal information held about you.
  • Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
  • Request deletion where legally available.
  • Object to certain processing or request restrictions where applicable.
  • Withdraw consent for processing that relies on consent where applicable.
  • Receive a copy of certain information in a portable format where the law provides that right.
  • Unsubscribe from optional newsletters and manage available advertising preferences.

These rights are not absolute in every situation. We may need to verify a request, ask for clarification, or retain specific information where a lawful obligation or other permitted basis requires it.

12.1 Making a Privacy Request

To make a request concerning personal information handled by Erfan MD, contact us through the Contact page or email company@explorefrag.com.

Explain the request and provide enough information for us to understand the relevant interaction or record. Do not send passwords, pairing codes, verification codes, session files, or other authentication secrets as proof of identity.

We will review and respond as required by applicable law. For records controlled independently by a connection server or another provider, you may need to contact that provider directly.

12.2 Newsletter Choices

If you subscribe to the newsletter, use the unsubscribe method supplied in a message where available or contact us for assistance.

12.3 Cookie and Advertising Choices

You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Where a consent interface is implemented, you can use the choices it provides.

For Google advertising personalization settings, visit Google Ads Settings. For additional choices from participating advertising companies, visit AboutAds.info.

13. Children’s Privacy

This website is not intended for children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children under 13 through the website.

If you believe a child under 13 has submitted personal information to us, contact us using the details below and describe the situation without sending additional sensitive information. We will review the request and take appropriate steps in accordance with applicable law.

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when the website, its features, data practices, providers, or applicable legal requirements change.

When a revised version is published, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Where required by law or appropriate for a material change, we may provide additional notice or obtain consent where applicable.
