    Privacy Policy

    How we collect, use, and protect your information

    Last updated: May 10, 2025

    Welcome to MedSafe Project. We are committed to protecting your privacy and maintaining transparency about how this site works. This Privacy Policy outlines what data we collect, how it is used, and what your rights are as a visitor.

    1. Who We Are

    The MedSafe Project (https://www.medsafeproject.org) is an independent, public-interest initiative focused on raising awareness about the dangers of adverse drug interactions. We provide educational content, campaign materials, and references to trusted tools — but we do not offer medical services or collect personal health data.

    2. What We Collect

    We do not directly collect any personal information from you. However, we do use third-party services that may collect limited, non-personal data for analytics and advertising purposes.

    a. Google Analytics

    We use Google Analytics to understand how users interact with our website. Data collected may include:

    • Pages visited
    • Approximate location (based on IP)
    • Browser and device type
    • Time spent on site
    • Referring site or search term

    All of this data is anonymous and used only for aggregate insights.

    b. Google AdSense

    We display non-intrusive ads through Google AdSense. These ads help support our work. Google may use cookies and device identifiers to:

    • Show ads relevant to your interests
    • Limit ad frequency
    • Measure ad performance

    You can control your ad settings through Google's Ads Settings or opt out through browser-based ad blockers.

    3. Cookies

    Cookies are small data files stored by your browser. This site uses cookies to enable:

    • Analytics (via Google Analytics)
    • Advertising (via Google AdSense)
    • Session performance enhancements (e.g., page caching)

    You can manage or disable cookies in your browser settings at any time.

    4. External Tools and Recommendations

    We sometimes recommend external tools (e.g., drug interaction checkers) to help visitors take action.

    One such tool is VitaCheck, a modern medication and supplement interaction checker. We reference it in our "Tools" section as an example of best practices — but:

    We are not affiliated with VitaCheck or any other third-party tool.

    Any information you enter on external sites is subject to their own privacy policies and terms of use.

    5. No Medical Advice

    All information on this site is for educational and awareness purposes only. We do not offer medical advice, and no content should be interpreted as a substitute for consultation with a licensed healthcare provider.

    6. Data Security

    We do not store or process personal data on our servers. Any third-party services we use (e.g., Google) follow industry-standard security practices.

    If this policy changes and we introduce account features, forms, or login functionality in the future, we will update this section to reflect new safeguards.

    7. Your Rights and Choices

    While we do not store personal data, you have the right to:

    • Opt out of analytics via the Google Analytics Opt-Out Tool
    • Manage or block cookies in your browser
    • Use an ad blocker if you prefer a no-ad experience

    9. Updates to This Policy

    We may update this Privacy Policy as needed to reflect changes in the project, tools used, or legal requirements. The "Last Updated" date at the top will always reflect the most recent revision.
