Legal Disclaimer & Terms of Use

Important legal information, user requirements, and terms governing your use of DoseDeck

Last Updated: November 2025

CRITICAL NOTICE: NOT MEDICAL ADVICE

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.

Legal Compliance & User Requirements

Age Restrictions

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.

No Provider-Patient Relationship

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.

Accuracy & Completeness Disclaimer

Information provided by DoseDeck may be incomplete, outdated, or inaccurate.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:

  • The accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any information
  • The timeliness of updates to our database
  • The detection of all possible drug interactions
  • The applicability of information to your specific situation
  • The absence of errors or omissions in our risk assessments

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.

Regulatory Status & Boundaries

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:

  • Provide personalized medical advice, diagnoses, or treatment recommendations
  • Prescribe medications or suggest specific dosages
  • Claim to prevent, treat, or cure any disease or condition
  • Guarantee accuracy of risk scores or interaction warnings
  • Replace the judgment of licensed healthcare professionals

We DO: Provide educational information about potential drug interactions based on publicly available data to support harm reduction and informed decision-making.

Privacy & Data Protection

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, conditions, medications), 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.app

HIPAA & Health Information Disclosure

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:

  • DoseDeck is NOT a healthcare provider and does NOT provide medical treatment
  • No doctor-patient, pharmacist-patient, or provider-patient relationship is created
  • DoseDeck does NOT bill insurance companies for services
  • We do NOT have access to your official medical records
  • Information you voluntarily enter is NOT "Protected Health Information" (PHI) under HIPAA

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.

AI & Data Processing Disclosure

DoseDeck uses artificial intelligence (AI) to provide enhanced analysis and educational information. Understanding how your data is processed is important.

AI Systems Used:

  • AI Jay (GPT-4o-mini): Conversational AI assistant for DoseDeck+ subscribers. Powered by OpenAI.
  • Risk Score AI (GPT-4o): Advanced risk analysis that synthesizes data from 11+ authoritative sources.
  • Algorithm Engine: Proprietary algorithm analyzing FDA, NIH, PubMed, and other clinical databases.

How AI Processes Your Data:

  • Substances, dosages, and health profile information you enter may be sent to AI services for analysis
  • AI responses are generated in real-time and tailored to your specific query
  • Your health profile (allergies, conditions) helps provide personalized warnings
  • Chat conversations with AI Jay may be stored to your account if you choose to save them

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.
