ClearRounds Health (“we,” “us”) provides educational content and clinical decision-support tools for healthcare professionals and learners. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, how long we keep it, and the choices you have. Our starting principle is simple: we collect as little as possible.
No protected health information (PHI)
This is an educational and decision-support resource, not a medical record system. Do not enter any patient-identifiable information (PHI) into any form, tool, or field on this site. Clinical tools and calculators run in your browser and are not intended to store patient data. If you believe PHI was submitted somewhere on this site, contact us right away (see “Contact” below) so we can delete it.
Information we collect
- Email address — only if you voluntarily subscribe to updates. This is handled by our email provider (Kit / ConvertKit) and used to send you updates about ClearRounds Health.
- Usage analytics — we collect aggregate, non-identifying usage data (e.g., which pages are visited) to improve the product. This does not identify you personally.
- Local progress — your quiz and module progress is stored in your own browser’s local storage on your device. It is not sent to us and stays on your device.
- Feedback you submit — our feedback form is anonymous by design; anything you type in it is sent to us without your name attached (so please don’t include personal details or PHI in it).
How we use information
- To send updates you’ve subscribed to.
- To understand which content is useful and improve the platform.
- To read and act on feedback.
- We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with third parties for their own marketing.
How long we keep it (retention)
- Email subscription: kept until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it. Unsubscribing stops emails immediately; you can additionally request deletion of the address itself.
- Analytics: kept only in aggregate form, which does not identify you.
- Local progress: lives on your device and is retained (or cleared) entirely by you, through your browser settings.
- Feedback: kept as long as it is useful for improving the product; it is anonymous.
Your rights and choices
You can unsubscribe from emails at any time using the link in any email, and clear locally stored progress through your browser. In addition, you may ask us to:
- tell you what personal information we hold about you (for most visitors: at most an email address),
- correct it, or
- delete it.
Depending on where you live, laws such as the EU/UK GDPR or the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) may give you formal versions of these rights. We honor reasonable requests from anyone, regardless of where you live — use the contact options below and we’ll respond as promptly as we can. We will never discriminate against you for exercising a privacy right.
Cookies and local storage
We use your browser’s local storage to remember your selected role and your learning progress. Analytics may use cookies or similar technologies in aggregate. You can clear these at any time through your browser settings; the site keeps working (your progress simply resets).
Third-party services
We rely on a small number of providers to operate the site, and they process limited data on our behalf under their own privacy terms:
- Vercel (hosting and aggregate analytics) — see the Vercel privacy policy.
- Kit (ConvertKit) (email updates) — see the Kit privacy policy.
Security
We use reasonable technical safeguards — including HTTPS everywhere and reputable infrastructure providers — to protect the limited information we hold. No system is perfectly secure; if we learn of a breach affecting your personal information, we will notify you and the relevant authorities as required by applicable law.
Children
This site is intended for healthcare professionals and healthcare students. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
International visitors
ClearRounds Health operates from the United States, and information we hold (such as a subscribed email address) is processed and stored in the United States. If you visit from elsewhere, you’re welcome — just know that your information is handled under U.S. law and this policy.
Changes
We may update this policy; the “last updated” date above reflects the current version. If a change meaningfully affects how we handle personal information, we’ll say so plainly rather than bury it.
Contact
For any privacy question or request, use the contact options on the About page.
This policy is provided for transparency and is not legal advice. It was drafted with AI assistance and should be reviewed by a licensed attorney before being relied on for regulatory compliance — especially before any paid offering.
