Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

Our platform is designed to minimize the personal data we gather. We collect:

• Usage Metrics: Anonymous or pseudonymous analytics data such as page views, query patterns, device characteristics, and approximate geographic region.
• Search Activity: The keywords you submit, saved libraries, and related interactions used to deliver relevant medical literature.
• Technical Logs: System logs that help us monitor performance, diagnose errors, and secure the service.

We do not intentionally collect sensitive identifiers such as patient data, social security numbers, or payment details.

2. How We Use Information

We use collected information to operate and enhance our search capabilities, surface more relevant oncology research, prevent abuse, and maintain reliable performance. Aggregated insights guide product improvements that align with the needs of the medical research community.

3. Analytics

Medeligo relies on analytics services to understand platform engagement. These providers process usage data strictly on our behalf and under confidentiality agreements. We do not share user information with any third parties beyond these analytics partners, and the data is used solely to improve platform experience and stability.

4. Cookies and Local Storage

We may use cookies or similar technologies to remember session preferences, maintain saved article libraries, and measure service performance. You can adjust browser settings to limit or disable cookies; however, doing so may impact certain features.

5. Data Retention

We retain analytics records and search metadata only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy. When data is no longer required, we anonymize or securely delete it in accordance with industry best practices.

6. Security

Safeguarding research activity is important to us. We employ administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure of collected data. Despite these efforts, no security controls are infallible, and users should exercise caution when sharing sensitive information online.
