Information we collect

How we use information

Operate, secure, and improve the website

Understand which educational pages and tools are useful
Authenticate publishers in the admin portal
Display advertising when AdSense (or similar) is enabled

Analytics providers

We may use analytics services (for example privacy-friendly analytics and/or Google analytics products) to measure traffic and content performance. Those providers process technical usage data under their own policies. We use analytics to improve education — not to sell personal medical advice.

Advertising partners (Google AdSense)

When advertising is enabled in site settings, we may use Google AdSense. Google and third-party vendors use cookies or similar technologies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites.

Ads may be personalized or non-personalized depending on your settings, consent status, and region.
Users can manage Google ad personalization through Google Ads Settings.
Users may also visit aboutads.info for industry opt-out tools where available.

Google's use of advertising cookies is covered by Google's policies. Enabling ads does not change our medical-education standards.

Cookies and similar technologies

Cookies help with essential site functions (including admin login), analytics, and advertising when enabled. Details: Cookie Policy.

Consent: Where required by law (for example certain GDPR/ePrivacy contexts), we will implement a consent management mechanism before running non-essential advertising cookies. Until that banner is required/enabled for your region, you can still control cookies through your browser and Google Ads Settings.

Contact forms and email

If you email us or use a contact form, we receive the details you submit and use them only to respond and keep basic correspondence records. Do not send sensitive medical records through general contact forms.

Data retention

Contact messages: retained as needed to respond and for reasonable records
Analytics/logs: according to provider retention defaults we configure
Publisher accounts: while access remains active

Children’s privacy

This site is intended for a general adult audience. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child provided information, contact us to request deletion.

International visitors

Our hosting and vendors may process data in the United States or other countries. If you access the site from another region, you understand information may be transferred to those locations subject to applicable safeguards offered by our providers.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as our tools, advertising, or legal requirements change. The “Last updated” date will change when we do.
