Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 30, 2026

MeduTechs Journal is operated by MeduTechs ("MeduTechs", "we", "our", or "us"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect information when you visit journal.medutechs.net, subscribe to the journal, contact us, or interact with our publication.

The Journal publishes educational and editorial content about medical education, anatomy learning, AI, VR, 3D visualization, clinical communication, and related technology. It is not a medical service, a patient portal, or a place to submit patient information.

1. Information we collect

We collect only the information reasonably needed to operate and improve the Journal.

Newsletter subscription data: email address, consent status, confirmation status, unsubscribe status, subscription source, and delivery logs.
Messages you send us: information included in contact forms, emails, partnership inquiries, editorial inquiries, or other voluntary communications.
Technical and usage data: IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, referrers, approximate location derived from network data, timestamps, performance logs, error logs, and security logs.
Analytics data: aggregated or pseudonymous website analytics collected through tools such as Google Analytics or Google Tag Manager to understand site performance, readership, and engagement.
Administrative records: records needed to manage articles, subscribers, campaigns, imports, logs, security, and compliance.

2. AI-assisted editorial operations

MeduTechs Journal may use AI-assisted tools to help draft, structure, edit, summarize, translate, generate metadata, prepare images or article assets, schedule publication, and support newsletter workflows. AI-assisted material may contain mistakes, omissions, or outdated statements, and Journal content should be read as educational commentary rather than professional, medical, legal, academic, or investment advice.

We may send article drafts, prompts, outlines, summaries, metadata, or editorial notes to trusted AI and infrastructure providers for the limited purpose of creating, reviewing, formatting, securing, or distributing Journal content. Do not submit protected health information, real patient names, identifiable case details, confidential institutional data, or other sensitive personal information through our public contact forms or email channels.

3. How we use information

To operate, secure, maintain, and improve journal.medutechs.net.
To send newsletter emails to subscribers who requested them.
To process confirmations, unsubscribes, bounce handling, and delivery logs.
To respond to contact, editorial, partnership, or support inquiries.
To analyze readership and improve article quality, usability, and site performance.
To detect abuse, spam, security incidents, or unauthorized access.
To comply with legal obligations and protect our rights, users, and services.

4. Legal bases

Where laws such as the GDPR, UK GDPR, PIPEDA, CCPA/CPRA, or similar privacy laws apply, we rely on the following legal bases as appropriate:

Consent: for newsletter subscriptions, optional communications, and certain analytics where consent is required.
Performance of a requested service: to deliver subscribed journal emails, process confirmations, and respond to your requests.
Legitimate interests: to secure the site, prevent abuse, understand aggregate usage, improve content, and maintain business records.
Legal obligation: where recordkeeping, regulatory, tax, litigation, or compliance duties require processing.

5. Cookies and analytics

We may use cookies, local storage, server logs, and analytics tags to operate the site, measure traffic, diagnose errors, and improve content. We do not use the Journal for third-party advertising profiles or the sale of personal information. You can control cookies through your browser settings, but disabling some technologies may affect site functionality.

6. Newsletter and email delivery

If you subscribe to the MeduTechs Journal, we process your email address and subscription status to send articles and related publication updates. We use confirmation and unsubscribe mechanisms to reduce unwanted email. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in our emails or by contacting [email protected].

7. Third-party service providers

We may use service providers for hosting, databases, analytics, email delivery, security, backups, AI-assisted editorial tooling, and operational support. These providers process information only as needed to provide services to us and are expected to use appropriate confidentiality, security, and data protection safeguards.

Depending on the provider and your location, information may be processed in Canada, the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, the United States, or other jurisdictions. When required, we rely on recognized transfer mechanisms such as adequacy decisions, standard contractual clauses, contractual safeguards, or comparable lawful protections.

8. Data retention

Newsletter records: kept while you are subscribed and for a reasonable period afterward to document consent, suppress unsubscribed addresses, and prevent accidental re-subscription.
Email delivery logs: retained as needed for deliverability, abuse prevention, and audit purposes.
Contact messages: retained only as long as reasonably necessary to respond, maintain business records, or protect legal interests.
Security and server logs: retained for limited operational and security windows unless longer retention is needed for investigation or legal reasons.
Aggregated analytics: may be kept longer when it no longer identifies a specific person.

9. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect information, including encrypted transport, access controls, backups, limited administrative access, and operational monitoring. No online service can guarantee perfect security, so please avoid sending sensitive medical, financial, legal, or confidential information through public Journal forms or email.

10. Your rights and choices

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to processing of your personal information, request portability, withdraw consent, or lodge a complaint with a privacy authority. California residents may also have rights to know, delete, correct, and opt out of certain disclosures. We do not sell personal information.

To exercise privacy rights, contact [email protected]. We may need to verify your request before acting on it.

11. Children's privacy

The Journal is intended for medical students, educators, clinicians, researchers, professionals, and adult readers. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13, or under a higher age where local law requires parental consent. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps.

12. External links

Journal articles may link to third-party websites, journals, tools, or sources. Their privacy practices are controlled by those third parties, not MeduTechs.

13. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The version posted on this page is the current version, and the "Last updated" date shows when it was last revised.
