Privacy Policy & Data Security

At MediCare Free, we hold patient confidentiality and personal privacy as core moral obligations. Because we operate as an endowed non-profit initiative, our business model does not rely on advertising networks, data monetization, or tracking pixels.

1. Information We Collect

We collect only the minimum information necessary to process your voluntary inquiries and appointment scheduling:

• Appointment Requests: Full name, email address, phone number, requested department, preferred doctor, and optional message.
• Newsletter Subscriptions: Email address for free health tip digests (unsubscribe anytime).
• Direct Inquiries: Name, email address, and subject matter for customer care replies.

2. How We Use Local Browser Storage (localStorage)

Our interactive health tools (such as the Medication Reminder and BMI Calculator) store your schedules and calculations locally on your personal device browser. This data is not uploaded to our remote database, ensuring 100% private self-care tracking.

3. Zero Data Monetization & Zero Third-Party Advertising

We do not sell, rent, license, or trade your personal or medical information to any third parties, including pharmaceutical manufacturers, insurance brokers, or commercial marketers.

4. HIPAA Alignment & Clinical Security

All communications between your browser and our servers are encrypted using modern Transport Layer Security (TLS 1.3). Clinical appointment triage adheres to standard medical ethics guidelines and healthcare privacy safeguards.

5. Contact Our Privacy Officer
