🔐 Privacy Policy

TrialForge AI (“TrialForge AI”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy and handling data responsibly. This Privacy Policy explains how information is collected, used, and safeguarded when you use the TrialForge AI platform.

1. Scope & purpose

TrialForge AI is a research and educational simulation platform designed to assist clinical researchers, methodologists, and innovation teams with trial design exploration. It does not provide medical advice, clinical decision support, or patient care services.

2. Data we do not collect

TrialForge AI is intentionally designed to avoid collecting sensitive data. In particular, we do not intend to collect:

• Patient‑level or personal health information (PHI)
• Identifiable clinical trial subject data
• Medical records
• Regulatory submission dossiers or confidential sponsor material

Users should not enter real patient data or confidential regulatory content into the platform.

3. Data we may process

To operate and improve the platform, we may process limited, non‑sensitive data such as:

• Protocol or trial‑like text entered by users (treated as transient input)
• Anonymous usage analytics (for example, page views and features used)
• Technical metadata (for example, browser type, device type, approximate region)
• Error and performance logs used for debugging and stability

Where analytics are used, they are aggregated and anonymised.

4. AI processing & third‑party services

TrialForge AI may use third‑party AI providers (for example, OpenAI APIs) to process text and generate outputs requested by the user.

• Inputs are used only to generate your requested responses.
• Inputs are not used by TrialForge AI to train proprietary models.
• Data is not sold, rented, or shared for advertising purposes.

Users should review the privacy policies of any third‑party providers used by the platform for details of their data handling practices.

5. Data retention

• Protocol inputs are processed ephemerally and are not retained long‑term unless explicitly enabled by the user (for example, saving scenarios or reports).
• Logs and technical metadata are retained only for as long as necessary to support security, performance monitoring, and troubleshooting.

6. Security

TrialForge AI applies industry‑standard security practices, which may include:

• Use of environment variables for secret and API key isolation
• Protection of API keys and credentials
• No execution of user‑supplied code on shared infrastructure
• Rate‑limiting and abuse protection on simulation endpoints

However, no system can be guaranteed completely secure. Users should avoid submitting highly sensitive or regulated data.

7. Your rights & contact

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to:

• Request deletion of any stored metadata associated with your usage
• Request clarification about how your data is used
• Raise questions or concerns about privacy or security
