Privacy Policy

UnderstandMyScan.com is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how information is collected, used, and protected when you use this website and any services offered through it.

By using this website, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

Information You Provide

Users may choose to upload or paste the text of a radiology report in order to receive an educational explanation of the report language. Radiology reports obtained from patient portals may contain personal identifying information such as your name, date of birth, medical record number, or examination dates.

Uploading reports with identifying information is not required. If you prefer, you may remove personal identifying information before submitting your report. However, most users submit reports exactly as downloaded from their healthcare portal, and this is acceptable.

How Uploaded Reports Are Used

Uploaded reports are used solely for the purpose of generating a clear educational explanation of the language used in the report. The information contained in the report is not used for marketing, advertising, or any unrelated purpose.

UnderstandMyScan does not sell, rent, or share uploaded reports with third parties.

Storage of Uploaded Reports

Uploaded reports are not permanently stored. Reports are processed in order to generate an explanation and are deleted after processing or within a short period of time.

UnderstandMyScan does not maintain a long-term database of uploaded radiology reports.
