Privacy

Can I Take These? is built to need as little of your data as possible. This page explains what happens to the information you give it.

The interaction checker

No account is required to use the checker. The supplements and medications you select are sent to our server only to compute your results (via a background request, not a URL with your selections in it), and are not permanently stored, logged in full, or shared with any third party. We do not send your selected substances, checker combinations, or any other health-related checker input to the analytics tool described below, or to any other analytics or advertising service.

Analytics

We use Histats for basic website traffic and pageview analytics -- for example, which pages are visited and how often. Histats is loaded on every page of this site and, like most web analytics tools, may set cookies or collect standard technical information such as your browser and general location from your device. We use it for ordinary site traffic analytics only: we do not send it your selected supplements or medications, your checker combinations, or any other health-related information you enter into the checker. We have not independently verified Histats' own compliance with any specific privacy law or regulation; if you have concerns about third-party analytics, you can block Histats using a browser extension or ad blocker, and the rest of the site will continue to work (the interaction checker requires JavaScript to function regardless of whether analytics are blocked).

Corrections

If you submit a report via corrections, we store the details you provide and your email address only if you choose to give one, so we can review the report and, if needed, follow up. That information is not publicly readable and is not used for anything other than reviewing the report.

Server logs

Our hosting infrastructure keeps standard, minimal web server logs (such as request method, path, and status code) for operating the site. We do not deliberately log the contents of checker requests.

Saved profiles

This site does not currently offer saved health profiles or accounts. If that changes in the future, we will add explicit consent, a clearer privacy explanation for that feature specifically, and delete/export controls before launching it -- not simply because our database schema happens to support it.

Questions

If you have a question about this policy, use the corrections form and note that it's a privacy question rather than a content correction.
