Privacy

Last updated June 9, 2026.

We collect as little as we can, we never sell data, and we hold no patient information.

What we collect

Basic usage statistics: which pages get visited, which headlines get clicked (counted in aggregate, not tied to any person), the site a visit arrived from, the approximate region it comes from, and the kind of device and browser used. Visitors are counted with anonymous one-way codes that cannot be reversed to identify anyone. What you type into the search box is never stored.

For security, IP addresses are kept briefly and deleted automatically after 90 days. They are visible only to the site's administrator and are never shared.

Cookies and local storage

No tracking or advertising cookies. A single sign-in cookie exists only for the site's administrator. Things like your theme choice and saved articles stay in your own browser and are never sent to us.

Third parties

To show headlines and run searches, your browser talks directly to official medical databases such as the National Library of Medicine, the FDA, and ClinicalTrials.gov. Those are ordinary web requests; we hand them nothing about you.
