Data Policy

Your email is NEVER sold or shared

You are always anonymous to the community — PMD-ID only

Profile information is required to use PatternMD

Sensitive data (gender, sexual orientation, health) collected with explicit consent

Your medication list is private — only you and your provider see it

Your provider photo is only visible to your connected provider — never the community

Post images are stored in Supabase, metadata-stripped, and AI-screened for safety before posting — delete your post to remove the image

Referrals use your anonymous ID only — no personal data shared

Environmental data (weather, AQI, pollen) captured silently at log time — personal use only

A daily summary of connected health-app metrics is stored to power your calendar, goal indicator, and badges

DM messages auto-delete after 24 hours unless you both star the conversation

DM content is never analyzed or used for advertising

Connecting to a provider shares your posts, journal, medications, and health data (including connected wearable metrics)

Either you or your provider can end the connection at any time

Medication data is never used in community pattern analysis

Sponsored posts are clearly labeled — advertisers never see your personal data

No advertiser ever sees your personal information

You can delete your account anytime

Pediatric posts collect ONLY an optional age (0-17) — never names, photos, or any identifier of the child

The child never has an account, never accesses the app, never receives notifications

Guardian consent is recorded with a timestamp the first time you use the feature
