Privacy Policy
Last updated 4 October 2026
Bio Kirkuk supplies laboratory devices and supplies to laboratories in Kirkuk, Iraq. This page explains what information our business system holds about the laboratories we work with, how we use it, and the messages we send them over WhatsApp.
What we hold
For each laboratory we work with, our system holds:
- The laboratory's name, address and phone number, and the name of the person we deal with there
- Our record of business with the laboratory: its orders, payments, returns and balance
- The machines we have supplied to or placed with the laboratory, with their warranty and service history
- Notes our staff keep about the account
How we use it
We use it only for our business with you:
- To take and deliver orders, record payments and keep each account's balance
- To service the machines we supply and keep track of their warranty
- To send each laboratory its receipts and payment reminders over WhatsApp
Messages on WhatsApp
We send two kinds of message, and only to the laboratory's recorded number: a receipt when an order is placed, and a reminder with a payment voucher when a payment is overdue. We never send promotional messages.
They are delivered through the WhatsApp Business Platform, which Meta operates, by way of YCloud, an official Meta business partner that sends them on our behalf. To deliver them, YCloud and Meta receive the laboratory's phone number and the message itself: the laboratory's name, the order number or amount owed, and the attached receipt or voucher. Meta handles this under WhatsApp's own terms and privacy policy, and YCloud under its own. Because YCloud connects our WhatsApp number, conversations on that number also pass through YCloud.
Our system only sends messages. It does not receive or store replies.
If you would rather not receive these messages, tell us and we will stop sending them.
Who else sees it
We do not sell or rent this information, and we do not use it for advertising.
Only Bio Kirkuk's own staff can sign in to our system. Outside Bio Kirkuk, the information reaches only Meta and YCloud, to deliver the WhatsApp messages described above, and the company that hosts our server, which stores it for us.
How we keep it safe
It is kept on our server and can only be reached through a signed-in staff account. Its backups are encrypted.
How long we keep it
We keep it for as long as we do business with the laboratory, and after that for as long as our accounts need the records of its orders and payments.
Your choices
You can ask us what information we hold about your laboratory, and ask us to correct it or delete it. Records of orders and payments are part of our accounts, so we may need to keep those even after a request to delete them. If so, we will tell you what we keep and why, and we will not use it for anything else.
This website
This site is Bio Kirkuk's internal business system, and signing in is for our staff only. It sets two cookies, both for staff: one keeps them signed in, the other remembers a display preference. It uses no advertising or tracking cookies.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, we will update this page and the date at the top.
