Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains what personal data Medica Intelligence collects, how it is used, how long it is retained, and your rights as a reader and registered account holder.

Data We Collect

Account Registration

When you create an account, we collect your name, email address, and a hashed password. We do not collect payment information. We do not sell or share account data with third parties for marketing purposes.

Analytics

We may use analytics tools to understand how readers use the site — which content types are most visited, how readers navigate between pages, and which search terms are used. Analytics data is aggregated and does not identify individual readers. If third-party analytics are in use, they are disclosed in our site configuration.

Newsletter and Notification Preferences

If you sign up for newsletter updates, we store your email address and notification preferences for the purpose of delivering those updates. You can unsubscribe at any time through the unsubscribe link in any newsletter email.

Comments

If you post a comment on a research digest, technology profile, or other content page, we store your comment text and the name you provided with it. Comments are publicly visible. We do not associate your account email address with your publicly visible comment author name unless you choose to use your real name.

How We Use Data

  • Account data is used to authenticate your session, deliver newsletter notifications matching your preferences, and maintain your saved content references.
  • Analytics data is used to understand content usage patterns and improve the publication's coverage and navigation.
  • Comment data is used to display your comments on the relevant content pages.
  • We do not use personal data to serve targeted advertising.

Data Retention

Account data is retained for as long as your account is active. If you request deletion of your account, your account data will be removed. Published comments may be anonymized rather than deleted to maintain the integrity of discussion threads.

Your Rights

You have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal data. To exercise these rights, contact us at the contact page with your request. Residents of the European Economic Area and California have additional rights under GDPR and CCPA respectively.
