Privacy
This policy explains what information AlaaRad may use to run the platform, protect accounts and improve the radiology workflow experience.
When subscriptions become available, Paddle will act as merchant of record and handle checkout and payment details under its own privacy policy. AlaaRad receives information needed to link purchases to your account, such as billing email, customer and subscription identifiers, subscription status, price and billing dates. AlaaRad does not store full card numbers or card security codes. Billing information is used to provide access, manage subscriptions, prevent fraud and assist with refunds or support.
AlaaRad may collect account details, saved reports, personal copies, favorites, submitted cases, case answers, uploaded files, contact messages, usage events, device information and technical logs needed to operate and improve the website.
Information is used to sign users in, save personal work, organize report libraries, show favorites and most-used items, support case submissions, improve search speed, troubleshoot errors, prevent misuse and understand which areas of the platform are most useful.
Creating a professional profile is optional. Your username, display name, workplace and any professional bio, specialty, qualifications, location, interests, languages and external links you add follow your profile visibility settings; your account email is not included. If you enable colleague search, signed-in members can find your professional profile. A separate Public profile link setting, off by default, lets anyone view it without signing in. Optional photo and published-contribution settings are off by default: enabling them displays your account photo and approved public report/case listings on the profile. Private reports, drafts, lists, patient details and unrevealed challenges are not included. External profile links open third-party websites with their own privacy policies. Accepted colleagues and people involved in an existing connection request can see the professional profile even when search visibility is off. You can turn off public visibility, photos, contributions and new requests, cancel or decline requests, remove connections and block profiles. Blocking removes the connection and hides the profile from that signed-in account; it cannot stop someone viewing a public profile while signed out. Unblocking does not restore the connection. Adding a colleague does not share private clinical work. We store connection and block records to enforce these choices, and daily request counts to limit misuse. Previously used usernames remain reserved to prevent old profile links pointing to a different person. After account deletion these reservations no longer retain the account ID.
Users should avoid uploading patient-identifiable information unless it is properly authorized and handled according to applicable law and local policy. Educational cases and images should be anonymized before submission or publication.
AlaaRad may use trusted services such as Supabase, Vercel, Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity and Resend for authentication, hosting, database storage, email delivery, analytics, performance monitoring and product improvement.
The website sends limited error events to its own hosting logs to help troubleshoot failures. These events contain an error category and a generalized page section, not report text, patient details, account identifiers, uploaded files, search terms or the original error message. Hosting providers may separately process standard request metadata under their service policies.
Users can request support regarding account data, saved content or deletion requests by contacting AlaaRad. Some technical logs or backups may be retained for a limited time for security, legal or operational reasons.
For privacy questions, correction requests or deletion requests, contact Dr. AlaaEldin A. Anter at dralaarad26@gmail.com.
