Privacy policy

Privacy should be built before patient data is collected.

The current public MVP is intentionally designed to avoid collecting sensitive patient information until secure forms, moderation, consent language, and storage rules are ready.

Current MVP posture

At this stage, the site is primarily static public content. Visitors should not submit private medical details through the website unless and until a secure form is intentionally launched with clear consent language and storage rules.

Future data collection

Future features may include story submissions, contact forms, newsletter signup, forum accounts, or advocacy-letter tools. Before those features launch, the site should define what is collected, why it is collected, how long it is kept, who can access it, and how users can request deletion.

Sensitive information warning

Patients should avoid sending full medical records, Social Security numbers, account numbers, private insurance identifiers, prescription numbers, home addresses, or names of clinicians/pharmacies unless a secure process specifically requests and protects that information.
