Introduction

Health Schema ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you visit healthschema.org (the "Site").

What We Are

Health Schema is an open-source documentation project providing semantic web extensions to schema.org for health and medical content markup. The Site is a static documentation resource with no user accounts, no forms, and no personal data collection.

Information We Collect

Analytics Data

We use privacy-focused, cookieless analytics to understand how visitors use our documentation. This may include:

• Pages visited and time spent on pages
• Approximate geographic location (country/region level only)
• Referring website
• Browser type and device information
• Search terms used to find the Site

This data is collected in aggregate form without cookies or persistent identifiers, and cannot be used to identify individual visitors. We use this information solely to improve the documentation and understand which resources are most valuable to our community.

Server Logs

Like most websites, our web server automatically collects standard technical information including IP addresses, browser types, and access times. These logs are used for security, technical troubleshooting, and may be retained for up to 90 days.

What We Don't Collect

We do not:

• Require user accounts or registration
• Collect names, email addresses, or contact information through the Site
• Use tracking pixels or third-party advertising cookies
• Sell or share any visitor data with third parties
• Track individual users across sessions

Cookies

We do not use cookies. The Site operates without any cookies, including for analytics tracking. This means:

• No cookie consent banner is required
• Your privacy is protected by default
• No tracking data persists between sessions
• The Site functions identically for all visitors

If we implement user preferences in the future (such as theme selection), these may use browser local storage rather than cookies. We will update this policy if that changes.

Third-Party Services

The Site may link to external resources, including:

• Schema.org documentation
• Research papers and medical references
• GitHub repositories

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party sites. Please review their privacy policies before interacting with them.

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical measures to protect the limited data we collect. The Site uses HTTPS encryption for all connections.

Your Rights (UK GDPR)

As the Site collects minimal data, most GDPR rights don't apply. However, you have the right to:

• Opt out of analytics by disabling cookies
• Request information about any data we may hold
• Request deletion of server logs containing your IP address

Our cookieless analytics mean you're already opted out of persistent tracking. To exercise other rights, contact us at contact@healthschema.org.

Children's Privacy

The Site is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Continued use of the Site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
