1. What this policy covers
This policy describes how this website handles information. It applies to the pages published at this address and to the search interface they provide. It does not cover any other website you may reach from here.
The platform is operated by Avicenna & Modern Medicine Comprehensive Compendium (Beta Version).
2. No accounts and no sign-in
The database is open to search without an account. There is no registration, no sign-in, and no user profile, so no name, email address, password or account history is collected in order to use the site.
3. Search terms you enter
When you search, the term you type is sent to this site's server so the query can be run against the database and results returned to you. That is the purpose it is used for.
- Search terms are not linked to you, because there is no account to link them to.
- Search history is not stored in your browser by this site.
- Search terms are not sold, shared or used for advertising.
Please do not enter personal health information, your own or anyone else's, into the search field. The field exists to look up substances and conditions in a reference database; it is not a medical intake form and it is not a confidential channel.
4. Cookies, storage and tracking
The Avicenna & Modern Medicine Compendium website use analytical cookies (analytical cookies including Google Analytics) to help personalize your online experience and to ensure you get the best experience. By accessing Avicenna & Modern Medicine Compendium website, you agree to use the required cookies.
We use cookies to optimize our websites—focusing on sharing free text on Avicenna & Modern Medicine Compendium website about a broad range of rapidly evolving multidisciplinary sciences, including health, the environment, and honeybee sciences, in Urdu, Arabic, Punjabi, and other languages. Avicenna & Modern Medicine Compendium is an information-sharing platform (education and information sharing) that does not collect personally identifiable details. Please read our Terms and Privacy Pages for further details. By visiting our Avicenna & Modern Medicine Compendium website, you consent to the acceptance of our Cookies policy and the use of analytics tools/cookies.
Avicenna & Modern Medicine Compendium does not control or give any guarantee regarding the absence of files called cookies or any other computer files provided by third parties (including Google Analytics and hosting provider) on Avicenna & Modern Medicine Compendium website, and may cause alterations to your device. Therefore, it is the sole responsibility of the visitor or reader to protect the privacy of their information by reading the privacy and cookies policies of all third parties associated with Avicenna & Modern Medicine Compendium and of any external links included in the blogs/posts and other content.
5. Hosting and server logs
Like any website, requests to this site pass through the infrastructure that hosts it. Hosting providers and network intermediaries typically record technical request information such as IP address, timestamp, requested URL, user agent and response status, for security, abuse prevention and reliability purposes.
That processing is performed by the hosting provider under its own terms, and the specific provider, retention period and log contents depend on how this deployment is hosted. No attempt is made by this project to identify visitors from those logs.
6. Inquiries and emails data privacy and data retention
When you send an inquiry through the contact form, your name, email address and message are sent to this site's server, checked, and forwarded as an email to the project inbox so that it can be read and answered. If the form cannot reach the site, it instead opens the message in your own email application, which you then choose to send or discard.
We use your inquiry only to read and answer it. We do not sell it, share it with anyone else, add it to a mailing list, use it for marketing or analytics, or add it to the compendium's database. The only other party involved is the email service that delivers the message to the project inbox.
Retention: this website keeps no retained copy of your inquiry. Nothing you send is stored in the compendium's database, and no copy is kept on this website once the message has been forwarded. The email itself is held in the project's mailbox only for as long as needed to read and answer it, and you may ask for it to be deleted by contacting the project.
Please do not send personal health information by email. Email is not a secure channel, and no one here can respond to medical questions in any case.
7. Children
The platform is a reference resource intended for a general and professional audience. It is not directed at children, and no information is knowingly collected from them.
8. Your rights
Depending on where you live, data protection law may give you rights over personal information held about you, such as the right to ask what is held, to have it corrected, or to have it deleted.
Because this site holds no accounts and collects no personal information through use of the database, in practice the only personal information the project may hold is an email you have sent it. To ask about that, or to ask for it to be deleted, use the details on the contact page .
The law that applies to this platform, and any supervisory authority you may complain to, depends on where it is operated from [configure NEXT_PUBLIC_LEGAL_JURISDICTION: governing jurisdiction].
9. Compliance claims
No claim is made that this platform is certified under, or audited against, any particular data protection or information security standard. The description above is a statement of how the site actually behaves, not a certification.
10. Changes to this policy
If how the site handles information changes, this page will be updated and the date at the top revised. Material changes will be described here rather than made quietly, and that applies in particular to the introduction of any tracking.
