Community Data Explanation
Last updated: September 1, 2026
This explains how community data would work if you choose to contribute, and how we keep it privacy-first.
Community-reported observational data
“Community data” means de-identified information that consenting members choose to contribute, combined so that no individual can be identified. It reflects what people report — it does not establish medical causation.
Only from members who opt in
Community data comes only from members who have voluntarily opted in through the Research / Community Data Consent. Your private tracking data is never part of community data unless you opt in.
Privacy protections
- Contributed data is tied to a random pseudonym, not your identity.
- Insights are intended to be shown only for groups large enough to protect privacy; very small groups are suppressed.
- Your private tracking information is never displayed publicly.
Not published during the private beta
We do not publish community statistics or aggregate findings during the private beta. When published later, every community view will carry the note: “Community-reported observational data. These findings do not establish medical causation.”
Community discussion is coming later
Community discussion, posting, and messaging are not active during the private beta. When introduced, they will be moderated, with clearly badged clinicians who may never pose as patients, and clear community rules.
Draft status
This is a plain-language draft prepared for the private beta and has not been reviewed by an attorney.
