Privacy policy

Last updated: 24 April 2026

Your privacy matters. This policy explains what data we collect when you use the fertifacts™ website or purchase the research summary, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Not a HIPAA-covered entity. fertifacts™ is a consumer educational product and is not operated as a HIPAA-covered entity or a business associate. The information you share is not protected health information (PHI). Please do not submit clinical records or identifying medical details beyond the general lifestyle inputs requested in the quiz.
Free quiz

What we do not collect on the free quiz

The free results screen runs entirely in your browser. We do not send your quiz answers to our servers until you purchase the research summary. While you are on the free quiz, the only data sent to us is aggregated, non-identifying analytics (see below).

  • The computed statistical outputs generated from published research
  • Your purchase record (via our payment processors)

We do not collect your name unless you enter it voluntarily, and we do not request or store Social Security numbers, clinical diagnoses, lab results, or other sensitive identifiers.
