At MediCrest.org, we value your privacy and are committed to protecting it with care, transparency, and responsibility. As a medical news and educational platform, we understand that trust is essential—especially when readers seek information related to health, science, and medicine. This Privacy Policy explains how MediCrest.org collects, uses, safeguards, and manages information when you visit or interact with our website.
By accessing or using MediCrest.org, you agree to the terms described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any part of this policy, we encourage you to discontinue use of the website.
MediCrest.org is designed to provide general medical news and educational content. We do not offer medical diagnosis, treatment, or personalized medical advice, and we do not require users to create accounts, subscribe, or provide personal details to access our content.
Information We Collect
MediCrest.org follows a minimal data collection approach. Most visitors can browse the website freely without providing any personal information.
However, in certain situations, we may collect limited information in two primary ways: information you voluntarily provide and information that is automatically collected through standard website technologies.
Information you voluntarily provide may include your name, email address, or message content if you contact us directly through a contact form or email. Providing this information is entirely optional and depends on your choice to communicate with us. We only use such information to respond to inquiries or messages you initiate.
Automatically collected information may include non-personal data such as IP address, browser type, device information, operating system, referring pages, pages viewed, time spent on the website, and general usage behavior. This information does not personally identify you and is collected to help us understand how the website is used and how we can improve its performance and content.
Cookies and Website Technologies
MediCrest.org may use cookies and similar technologies to improve functionality, analyze website traffic, and enhance user experience. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help websites remember preferences or understand usage patterns.
These cookies do not collect personally identifiable medical or health information. They are used for purposes such as ensuring smooth navigation, identifying popular content, detecting technical issues, and improving site performance.
You may choose to disable cookies through your browser settings at any time. Please note that disabling cookies may affect certain features or functionality of the website, but it will not prevent access to general content.
How We Use Information
Any information collected by MediCrest.org is used responsibly and solely for legitimate purposes. We use data to maintain website operations, improve content quality, enhance usability, monitor performance, and understand general audience behavior.
Information you voluntarily provide through direct contact is used only to respond to your inquiry or message. We do not use such information for marketing, promotional messaging, or automated communications.
Aggregated and anonymized data may be used for internal analysis to improve editorial direction, identify reader interests, and ensure the website remains accessible and informative.
MediCrest.org does not sell, rent, lease, or trade personal information to third parties.
Medical and Health-Related Information
MediCrest.org does not intentionally collect sensitive personal health information, medical records, diagnoses, or treatment details. Our content is general and educational in nature.
If you choose to share health-related information when contacting us, you do so voluntarily. While we treat such information with respect and discretion, we strongly advise against sharing sensitive personal or medical details through online forms or unsecured communication methods.
MediCrest.org is not responsible for how users choose to disclose personal information publicly, such as through comments if such features are enabled.
Third-Party Services and Links
MediCrest.org may use reputable third-party services for website hosting, analytics, security monitoring, or performance optimization. These service providers may have limited access to non-personal data necessary to perform their functions but are not authorized to use it for any other purpose.
We may also include links to external websites, research sources, or reference materials for informational purposes. MediCrest.org does not control and is not responsible for the privacy policies, content, accuracy, or practices of third-party websites. Visiting external links is done at your own discretion, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies separately.
Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information from unauthorized access, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. While no website can guarantee absolute security, we strive to follow industry-standard practices to safeguard data.
Access to collected information is restricted to authorized individuals only, and security practices are reviewed periodically to maintain a safe browsing environment.
Data Retention
MediCrest.org retains information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy. Voluntarily provided contact information is retained only as long as needed to respond to inquiries or for record-keeping purposes.
Non-personal and aggregated data may be retained for analytical and performance evaluation purposes without identifying individual users.
Children’s Privacy
MediCrest.org is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If it is discovered that a child has provided personal information without parental consent, we will take reasonable steps to delete such information promptly.
Parents or guardians who believe their child has shared information with MediCrest.org may contact us for assistance.
User Rights and Control
You have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of any personal information you have voluntarily provided to us, subject to legal and operational requirements.
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have additional rights under applicable data protection laws. MediCrest.org respects these rights and aims to respond to legitimate requests within a reasonable timeframe.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
MediCrest.org may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in legal obligations, technology, or website practices. Any updates will be posted on this page, and the revised policy will apply from the date of publication.
Continued use of MediCrest.org after changes are made constitutes acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
