Deedmed is a Sri Lankan telemedicine platform that connects patients with SLMC-verified doctors for online and in-person consultations. Because we handle health information, protecting your privacy is central to how we operate. This policy explains what we collect, why, and the choices and rights you have.
Who we are
This platform is operated by Deedmed (Pvt) Ltd, a company registered in Sri Lanka ,
Scope of this policy
This policy applies to everyone who uses the Platform — patients, visitors, and doctors — whether you access it through our website or apps. It covers personal data we process about you and explains how the protections apply to that data. It does not cover third-party websites or apps we may link to, which have their own privacy policies.

Why Deedmed Collects Data
Our goal in collecting your data is solely to provide you with professional services. We may also inform you about services we believe you may be interested in. If you do not wish to receive such information, you can opt-out using the procedures provided in our emails. While Deedmed has taken every effort to ensure security, we are not responsible for the use of your personal information by third-party applications or websites that you may access through our services or platforms.
Information you give us
- Account details — name, email, mobile number, date of birth, gender.

Your Privacy Control
If you do not agree to us keeping your personal information, you can opt-out by emailing Deedmed Lives (Pvt) Ltd at any time. We will then take action to delete all personal information you have provided. We recommend that you also review the privacy policies of any third-party applications or websites you access. Doctors and pharmacies must inform us of their availability. We will not share a patient’s personal details with doctors and pharmacies without their explicit consent.
Sharing & disclosure
While no internet transmission is completely secure, we follow all possible security measures to protect your data upon receipt. When you use our services, you may be asked to provide personally identifiable information such as your name, address, date of birth, email, and phone number. By providing this information, you agree to its use solely for the purpose of serving you. You are free to not disclose your personal information or to provide us with specific guidelines on how it should be used. We do not disclose your personal information to other agencies for marketing, market research, or commercial purposes. We do not share your information with other websites. The only exception is a legal obligation, such as a court order, in which case we will refer your information to legal authorities.

We store your data on our secure remote servers. Deedmed takes all necessary steps to ensure your data is protected and to prevent unauthorized transactions and data breaches.
