Privacy Policy
Your privacy matters. Here is how we handle your data at RenalDose.
1. Information We Collect
1.1 Account Information
When you create a RenalDose account, we collect:
- Name and email address (provided directly or via Google OAuth).
- Authentication credentials (passwords are hashed and never stored in plain text).
- Subscription and billing status, including your billing provider and PayPal subscription identifier when applicable.
1.2 Calculation Data
Calculation inputs entered into RenalDose (for example age, serum creatinine, weight, height, race, and medications) are processed in real time to generate dosing recommendations. RenalDose is designed as a session-only calculator. Inputs remain in your browser session and are not stored on our servers.
Do not enter patient identifiers such as names, medical record numbers, phone numbers, or free-text clinical notes. If you export a PDF report, that file is generated for local download and remains under your control.
1.3 Usage Analytics
We collect minimal service telemetry to keep the application secure and reliable, including:
- Authentication and billing event logs.
- Browser type and device category.
- Error and performance logs.
2. How We Use Your Data
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide, maintain, and improve the RenalDose service.
- Process subscriptions and manage billing.
- Authenticate users and secure accounts.
- Respond to support inquiries and communicate important service updates.
- Analyze aggregate usage patterns to enhance features and performance.
- Comply with legal obligations.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We do not use your data for advertising or marketing profiling.
3. Data Storage
RenalDose is hosted on Cloudflare infrastructure. All data is transmitted over HTTPS (TLS 1.2+) and encrypted at rest. Our infrastructure leverages Cloudflare's global network for performance, security, and DDoS protection.
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
4. Third-Party Services
We use the following third-party services, each with their own privacy policies. RenalDose is independently operated by Ahmed Fouad from Doha, Qatar.
4.1 Billing
Subscription billing for RenalDose Pro is handled by PayPal. We store only the minimum billing metadata needed to manage access, such as subscription status, gateway name, and subscription identifiers. We do not store full credit card numbers, CVV values, or bank account credentials.
4.2 Authentication
Google OAuth is used as an authentication option. When you sign in with Google, we receive your name, email address, and profile picture. We do not access your Google contacts, calendar, or any other Google services.
5. Cookies
RenalDose uses essential cookies only. We do not use advertising cookies. Our essential cookies are used for:
- Maintaining your authentication session.
- Remembering your theme preference (light/dark mode).
- Storing your cookie consent choice.
You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Disabling essential cookies may affect the functionality of the service.

9. International Data Transfers
Your data may be processed and stored on servers located in various countries through our use of Cloudflare's global infrastructure. Where data is transferred outside your country of residence, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, including Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) where required by GDPR.
