Patient Consent Form
Daktalink — version 2026-05-1 (UTC).
This Patient Consent Form applies when you use Daktalink as a patient or caregiver (not when you are registering solely as a verified doctor). It works together with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
1. Purpose of the service
Daktalink provides health information, education, and tools (such as symptom guidance, wellness tracking, facility directories, and optional telemedicine). Unless a licensed doctor treating you through the platform tells you otherwise in a proper clinical context, nothing in the Services is a medical diagnosis or prescription.
2. Not emergency care
The Services are not a substitute for emergency services. If you may be having a medical emergency, call your local emergency number or go to the nearest emergency department immediately.
3. Health information we process
With your consent, we may collect and use health-related information you provide, including symptom descriptions, check-ins, uploaded documents, telemedicine messages, pregnancy or child-care records, and similar data needed to operate the features you choose.
4. How we use your information
- To provide the features you request (for example saving symptom history or connecting you with a doctor).
- To send service-related messages (confirmations, reminders you opt into, security alerts).
- To improve safety, fraud prevention, and service quality in line with our Privacy Policy.
5. Sharing & cross-border AI
We do not sell your health information. We share data only as described in our Privacy Policy—for example with doctors you choose for telemedicine, payment processors, or when required by law.
Some optional features use AI providers outside Nigeria (see our cross-border notice). Those features require separate consent before your health inputs are sent abroad.
6. Your choices
You may withdraw consent for optional processing where applicable by contacting support or using account settings. Some core processing is required to operate an account. You may request access or correction of your data as described in our Privacy Policy.
7. Acknowledgement
By accepting this form, you confirm that you have read and understood it, that you are at least 18 years old (or have authority to consent on behalf of a dependent you register), and that you agree to the collection and use of your health information as described.
