Privacy Policy

Last Updated: January 2025

1. Introduction

GestRisk PTB ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This privacy policy explains how we handle information when you use our preterm birth risk assessment tool, operated from Australia.

2. Information We Collect

We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal health information.

The GestRisk PTB calculator operates entirely in your web browser. All calculations are performed locally on your device. We do not:

• Collect personal health information
• Store your assessment results
• Require account creation or sign-up
• Use third-party analytics or tracking
• Display advertisements

3. Technical Information

Our website may automatically collect minimal technical information necessary for operation:

• Service Worker Cache: To enable offline functionality, your browser may cache the application files locally
• Server Logs: Our hosting provider (Microsoft Azure) may collect standard server logs including IP addresses, browser types, and access times for security and operational purposes

This technical data is not linked to any personal information and is used solely for maintaining service security and availability.

4. How Your Data is Processed

All risk calculations occur entirely within your web browser. When you enter information (age, height, medical history):

• Data stays on your device
• Calculations are performed locally
• Results are displayed immediately
• Nothing is transmitted to our servers
• Data is cleared when you close the browser or refresh the page

5. Data Security

Since we don't collect or store personal data, there is no centralized database that could be compromised. The application is served over HTTPS to ensure secure delivery to your device.

6. Your Rights (Australian Privacy Act 1988)

Under Australian privacy law, you have rights regarding your personal information. However, since we do not collect or store any personal information, these rights do not apply in practice. If you have concerns, please contact us.

7. Medical Disclaimer

This tool provides educational information only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice. The risk calculation is based on published medical research but should not be used as the sole basis for medical decisions. Always consult with qualified healthcare professionals regarding your health.

8. Children's Privacy

This service is intended for pregnant women and healthcare professionals. It is not designed for use by children under 13 years of age.

9. Progressive Web App (PWA) Installation

If you install GestRisk PTB as a Progressive Web App on your device:

• The app files are cached locally on your device for offline use
• No additional data is collected or transmitted
• You can uninstall the app at any time through your device settings

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last revised. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
