Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 3, 2026
1. Information We Collect
We do not require you to create an account or provide personal information to use this site.
We automatically collect limited technical information when you visit, including:
- IP address (anonymized)
- Browser type and version
- Pages visited and time spent
- Referring website
Drug searches you perform are processed in your browser and are not stored on our servers or linked to your identity.
2. Anonymous Usage Analytics
We collect anonymous, non-identifiable information about drug searches to improve our service and support public health research. This includes:
- Drug codes searched (internal identifiers — not your typed text)
- General time of search (rounded to the nearest hour, never exact)
- ZIP code (only if you voluntarily enter it for localized results)
- Whether your check returned any serious interaction warnings
We do not collect your IP address, device fingerprint, browser type, or any information that could identify you personally. A rotating daily token links events within a single day but cannot be used to track you across days or sessions.
Aggregate, de-identified trend data (e.g., "warfarin searches increased 20% this month") may be licensed to pharmaceutical researchers and public health organizations. Individual-level data is never sold or shared.
3. Cookies
We use cookies for the following purposes:
- Recent drugs: Your recently searched drugs are stored in your browser's local storage only. This data never leaves your device.
- Analytics: We may use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site. This data is aggregated and anonymous.
- Advertising: Google AdSense uses cookies to serve relevant ads. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet.
You can opt out of Google's use of cookies by visiting Google's Ads Settings.
