Privacy Policy

Last Updated: May 2026

1. Introduction and Core Philosophy

WardCalc respects your privacy and is legally committed to protecting it. Because our application deals with clinical calculations, we have engineered the platform to operate entirely client-side. This means that all data inputs, patient metrics, and score calculations are processed locally within your device's web browser.

2. No Collection of Medical Data

We categorically do not collect, store, transmit, or process any Protected Health Information (PHI), Electronic Health Records (EHR), or personal medical data. No patient information inputted into WardCalc is ever sent to external servers or databases.

3. Third-Party Analytics and Advertising

To maintain WardCalc as a free educational resource, we utilize third-party services including Vercel Analytics (for site performance monitoring) and Google AdSense (for advertising). These third-party vendors use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites. Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings.

4. Log Files and Non-Identifying Information

Like most standard website servers, we use log files. This includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks. This data is strictly used to analyze trends, administer the site, and track broad user movement for aggregate use. It is never linked to personally identifiable information.
