Privacy & safety

Health information deserves higher boundaries.

This site limits what its forms request, explains what each field is for, and keeps study participation and publication consent outside the public intake form.

Not a public profileBooking requests and raw research intakes are not displayed on the website or sold for advertising.

No public patient profiles

Booking requests and research ideas are restricted submissions, never a public community feed.

Minimize before collecting

Research intake uses broad context fields and accepts no identity, payment, or legal documents. One supporting health document is optional.

Retention needs an owner

Tally retains submissions until they are manually deleted on the current plan. A documented review and deletion schedule is still required.

Booking requests

The booking form asks for a name, reply email, preferred visit type, date window, and an optional short reason. It is intentionally not a medical-history form.

PurposeArrange and confirm a requested consultation
Avoid enteringID documents, detailed health records, test results, prescription images, payment data
VisibilityAuthorised scheduling or clinical reviewers only

Research-interest intake

The community form accepts a focused experience or research idea from an adult. Required content includes a contribution type, broad health area, title, and short description. Age group, country, timeframe, impact, what might help, a research question, contact details, and one supporting document are optional.

ContactPreferred name and email are optional. Leave every follow-up choice unchecked to submit without contact details
Processor and hostingTally processes the full submission for this site and stores form data in Europe
Raw text and filesRestricted intake for human review; neither should be assumed anonymous simply because visible identifiers were removed
Not used forDiagnosis, treatment, emergency response, advertising, AI-model training, automatic study enrolment, or automatic publication

Contact permission is not research consent

The form records three separate optional choices: contact about the specific submission, contact about a future study, and contact about a possible anonymous quotation or case story. None of them enrols a person in research or authorizes publication.

Publication is a later decision. If identifiable material might ever be published, the person must be shown the exact material and complete a separate written publication-consent process. A study must also use its own informed-consent process unless an appropriate ethics body has approved another lawful approach.

Optional supporting files

The Tally form accepts one PDF, JPG, JPEG, or PNG up to 5 MB. The file is stored with the submission in the restricted Tally workspace and is not posted on this website or placed in a public community feed. Authorised workspace users can access submitted files for review.

Every upload is treated as identifiable health information. A filename, hidden metadata, and clinical details may identify a person even when a visible name is removed. Upload only your own document—never another person's record, an identity or payment document, or anything urgent. The upload is not a request for diagnosis or treatment and does not permit research participation, AI training, quotation, or publication.

Retention and hosting

Tally states that form data is stored in Europe. Automatic retention is not enabled on the current plan, so submissions and files remain until the site owner manually deletes them. Deleted Tally items can remain in Trash for up to 90 days unless Trash is emptied sooner.

The website owner remains responsible for establishing the lawful basis, controller identity, privacy-request route, access controls, final retention schedule, withdrawal process, and any required cross-border-transfer or health-authority safeguards before collecting real patient records at scale.

Safety boundaries

Website content is educational only. Forms are not monitored as emergency channels and do not create a doctor-patient relationship by themselves. A booking request is not confirmed until the clinic responds. Research submissions do not receive clinical advice.

For an emergency, severe or rapidly worsening symptoms, or immediate risk of harm, contact your local emergency service or attend the nearest appropriate emergency facility.

Governance that still needs an owner

Before a formal study recruits through this website, the owner should publish the legal data controller, privacy-request route, applicable jurisdiction, verified hosting and transfer position, final retention schedule, withdrawal process, incident contact, and ethics or institutional approval details. Reviewer access should be protected with strong authentication, malware-safe handling, and auditable roles.

The Tally form uses required consent confirmations, reCAPTCHA, and one-file type and size limits. Draft-answer saving, email notifications, and external integrations were disabled at launch. These measures do not replace malware scanning, a data-processing agreement where required, legal review, or research ethics approval before larger-scale collection.

Want to contribute a research question?

Use the intake only after reading these boundaries. Keep text focused and upload a supporting document only when it is genuinely needed.
