Last Updated: May 2026 | Effective Date: May 2026
DoseDeck is for harm reduction and educational purposes ONLY. The information provided through this platform, including risk scores, interaction analysis, and AI Jay responses, is NOT intended to be—and shall not be construed as—professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
ALWAYS seek the advice of your physician, pharmacist, or other qualified health provider with any questions regarding medications, medical conditions, or potential substance interactions. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of information from DoseDeck.
IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING A MEDICAL EMERGENCY, CALL 911 OR YOUR LOCAL EMERGENCY SERVICES IMMEDIATELY.
EMERGENCY CONTACTS:
DoseDeck is intended for users 18 years of age or older. If you are under 18, you must have parental or guardian consent to use this platform. DoseDeck is not intended for medical use by minors without adult supervision.
COPPA Compliance: We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years of age. If you are under 13, do not use this website.
Use of DoseDeck does not create a doctor-patient, pharmacist-patient, or any healthcare provider-patient relationship. We are an educational technology platform, not a healthcare provider.
DoseDeck and its operators are not licensed medical professionals, and nothing on this platform should be construed as the practice of medicine, pharmacy, nursing, or any other licensed healthcare profession.
Information provided by DoseDeck may be incomplete, outdated, or inaccurate. While we strive to maintain accurate and current information, we make no representations or warranties regarding:
Medical knowledge evolves rapidly. New drug interactions, contraindications, and safety concerns emerge regularly. Always verify critical information with current medical literature and consult healthcare professionals before making decisions.
DoseDeck is NOT a medical device and is NOT regulated by the FDA. We are an educational technology platform providing general information about drug interactions.
We DO NOT:
We DO: Provide educational information about potential drug interactions based on publicly available data to support harm reduction and informed decision-making.
DoseDeck collects and processes user data in accordance with applicable privacy laws, including GDPR (EU), CCPA (California), and COPPA (children under 13).
What we collect: Account information (email, name), health profile data (age, gender, height, weight, conditions, medications, allergies, additional health notes), chat history with AI Jay, and usage analytics.
How we use it: To provide personalized risk assessments, improve our platform, and deliver educational content. We do not sell your personal health information.
Your rights: You have the right to access, correct, delete, or export your data. For privacy requests, contact: customerservice@dosedeck.ai
IMPORTANT: DoseDeck is NOT a HIPAA-covered entity. HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) applies to healthcare providers, health plans, and healthcare clearinghouses that transmit health information electronically. DoseDeck does not fall into any of these categories.
Why HIPAA does not apply:
Health Data You Provide: Any health-related information you voluntarily enter (medications, conditions, allergies) is considered voluntarily disclosed personal information, not PHI. We protect this data using industry-standard encryption and security practices, but it is not subject to HIPAA regulations.
Our Commitment: While not legally required under HIPAA, we treat your health-related data with the highest level of care and confidentiality. We never sell your health data and use it only to provide DoseDeck services.
DoseDeck uses cookies and similar technologies to enhance your experience and analyze platform usage.
Essential Cookies: Required for basic platform functionality, authentication, and security. These cannot be disabled.
Analytics: We may use analytics services (such as Vercel Analytics) to understand how users interact with DoseDeck. This helps us improve the platform. Analytics data is aggregated and does not personally identify you.
Local Storage: We store your deck data and preferences locally on your device for convenience. This data remains on your device unless you create an account to sync.
Your Choices: Most browsers allow you to control cookies through settings. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect platform functionality.
DoseDeck uses artificial intelligence (AI) to provide enhanced analysis and educational information. Understanding how your data is processed is important.
AI Systems Used:
How AI Processes Your Data:
Third-Party AI Services: We use OpenAI's API services. Data sent to OpenAI is subject to their Privacy Policy. OpenAI does not use API data for training their models.
Data Retention: Temporary conversation data is processed in real-time. Saved chats are retained until you delete them. You may delete your data at any time from your profile settings.
By accessing or using DoseDeck, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and all applicable laws and regulations. If you do not agree with any of these terms, you are prohibited from using this platform.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account.
We do not guarantee uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free access to DoseDeck. The platform may be modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time without notice.
All content, features, and functionality on DoseDeck are owned by DoseDeck and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works without our express written permission.
We may terminate or suspend your access to DoseDeck immediately, without prior notice or liability, for any reason, including breach of these Terms.
AI Jay uses advanced artificial intelligence (GPT-4o-mini) to provide information, but AI can make mistakes, provide incomplete information, or generate inaccurate responses. AI Jay's responses should be considered educational guidance, not definitive medical advice.
Always verify critical information with healthcare professionals and authoritative medical sources. AI Jay cannot account for all individual medical circumstances, medication histories, or unique patient factors.
DoseDeck is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" without any warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We make no guarantees about the accuracy, completeness, reliability, or timeliness of the information provided.
WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that:
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, DOSEDECK AND ITS CREATORS, OPERATORS, AFFILIATES, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages resulting from your use of or inability to use the platform, including but not limited to:
This limitation applies even if DoseDeck has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or limitation of liability, so these limitations may not apply to you.
