Data Stored in Your Browser
MedCalcHub uses your browser's localStorage to store:
- Favorited calculators
- Calculator usage history
- Recently viewed calculators
- Saved calculation inputs and results
- Advertising consent preference
- Appearance preference (light/dark theme)
Your calculator data is stored locally in your browser and is not synced to MedCalcHub servers.
What This Policy Covers
This policy distinguishes five types of data handling:
- Calculator and saved data — stored locally in your browser, as described above.
- Consent preference storage — your advertising consent choice is stored locally on your device.
- Contact form submissions — when you submit an inquiry, your name, email address, inquiry type, and message are transmitted to MedCalcHub for the purpose of responding to your request. Contact messages may be processed by the email delivery provider used to deliver the message.
- Website infrastructure — the website is served through standard web hosting infrastructure, and technical details such as how server logs are handled are determined by the hosting provider.
- Advertising and third-party services — currently disabled on MedCalcHub. If advertising is enabled in the future, third-party technologies may be used and will be disclosed and handled according to the then-current consent configuration.
Clinical Data You Enter
Saved calculations may contain clinical values you enter, such as laboratory results, patient weight, or age. We strongly recommend you avoid entering personally identifying patient information. All data remains in your browser and is not uploaded to MedCalcHub servers by our application code.
Advertising and Third-Party Services
Current status: advertising is currently disabled on MedCalcHub. While advertising is disabled, no advertising scripts or cookies are loaded, and no requests are made to advertising services.
If advertising is enabled in the future, third-party services such as Google AdSense may load on this site. Third-party advertising may use cookies or similar technologies to serve and measure ads, and those technologies will be disclosed and configured in accordance with your consent before they are activated.
You control whether advertising loads through the cookie consent banner on this site. You may reject advertising at any time.
Your Choices
You can accept or reject optional advertising via the consent banner. Rejecting advertising prevents any third-party advertising scripts or cookies from loading.
You can clear all locally stored data at any time through your browser's settings or by using the clear functions within MedCalcHub.
Changes to This Policy
This privacy policy may be updated as the platform evolves. The latest version is always available at this page.
