Privacy Policy
Effective Date: 01-06-2025
This Privacy Policy describes how Jeevadhara (“we,” “our,” or “us”) collects, uses, and protects information in connection with our website, open-source tools, and community platforms. By accessing or using Jeevadhara, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
1. Introduction
At Jeevadhara, we are committed to protecting the privacy of our users and contributors. As an open-source initiative focused on medical diagnostic automation, we are guided by principles of transparency, security, and ethical use of data. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how it is used, and the rights you have in connection with your data.
2. Information We Collect
Jeevadhara does not, by default, collect or store personal health information. Any patient or medical data used within the project must be fully anonymized before being processed. When you interact with our website or community spaces, we may collect limited technical information, such as browser type, device information, and usage statistics, to improve functionality and ensure security. If you voluntarily contribute to the project, for example through GitHub or community forums, you may provide information such as your name, email address, or username.
3. Use of Information
The information we collect is used solely to operate, maintain, and improve Jeevadhara and its related services. Specifically, data may be used to enhance the performance of our tools, provide technical support, monitor website functionality, and engage with the open-source community. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information under any circumstances.
4. Data Handling and Security
Jeevadhara is designed with a privacy-first approach. Any health-related data that may be used for research or development purposes must be anonymized and handled in compliance with applicable data protection laws. Our systems support privacy-preserving technologies, including federated learning, which allow models to improve without requiring raw data to leave local environments. While we take reasonable measures to secure the information processed through our services, contributors and users remain responsible for ensuring that the data they provide complies with relevant laws such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), and any applicable Indian regulations.
5. Open Source and Third-Party Services
As an open-source project, Jeevadhara relies on contributions from a global community of developers, researchers, and organizations. In the course of providing our website and related services, we may make use of third-party hosting providers, analytics platforms, or communication tools. These third parties may collect limited technical information in accordance with their own privacy policies, and we encourage users to review those policies where applicable.
6. Your Rights
You have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of personal information that you have voluntarily provided to Jeevadhara. You may also request that we limit or stop the processing of such information. Because our project is open-source, users and contributors also retain the right to review and audit the source code in order to verify compliance with privacy and security practices.
7. Updates to This Policy
We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time in order to reflect updates to our practices, technology, or legal requirements. When changes are made, the updated Privacy Policy will be posted on this page, and the “Effective Date” above will be amended accordingly. Continued use of Jeevadhara after any updates constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
