Privacy Policy - Ultrasound Viewer

Important Notice Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By using the Ultrasound Viewer gallery or uploading content to our site, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to the practices described herein. This service is provided for informational and educational purposes only and is not intended for medical use.

Overview

Ultrasound Viewer ("we," "us," or "our") operates a public web-based platform that allows users to view ultrasound images locally in their browser and optionally share scans through a public gallery. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share information when you use our service.

We distinguish between two distinct modes of use, each with different privacy implications:

Viewing ultrasound images locally in your web browser
Submitting ultrasound scans to our public gallery

Local Viewing - Your Privacy Is Protected

When you use the Ultrasound Viewer tool in your web browser to view ultrasound content stored on your own computer or device, your images are processed entirely within your browser. They are not uploaded to our servers, and they are not made public in any way.

Using the viewer locally does not:

Transmit your images to any server
Make your images visible to other users
Store your images in any database or cloud service
Share your images with any third party

Your local viewing activity remains private on your device.

Gallery Submissions - Your Image Becomes Public

Public Disclosure Warning When you submit a scan to our gallery, that image becomes publicly accessible on the internet. Anyone can view, save, share, or link to your submitted image without your consent. Please do not submit any image you do not wish to be publicly visible.

By submitting an ultrasound scan to the Ultrasound Viewer gallery, you explicitly acknowledge and agree that:

Your image will be publicly accessible to all visitors of this website
Your image may be shared, linked, copied, or redistributed by others without further notice to you
We do not require the consent of third parties whose scans may appear in submitted images before displaying or sharing them
You are solely responsible for ensuring you have the right to share any image you submit
Removal of your image from the gallery is at our sole discretion and may not result in the removal of copies others have already made

What We Collect on Submission

When you submit an image to our gallery, we may collect:

The image file itself
Any metadata embedded in or submitted alongside the image
Your IP address and browser information for moderation purposes
Any optional description or title you provide

Information We Collect Generally

Like most websites, we may automatically collect certain non-personal technical information when you visit our site, including:

IP address and approximate geographic location
Browser type and version
Pages visited and time spent on those pages
Referring website

This information is used for site analytics, security monitoring, and improving the service. It is not sold or shared with advertisers.

Not for Medical Use

Ultrasound Viewer is an informational and educational platform only. Nothing on this site constitutes medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. The ultrasound equipment associated with this platform is low-powered and is not medical-grade. It is not approved or intended for clinical or diagnostic purposes.

Do not use this service to evaluate, diagnose, or make decisions about any health condition. Always consult a licensed medical professional for health-related concerns.

Third-Party Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with third parties only in the following limited circumstances:

When required by law or valid legal process
To protect the safety, rights, or property of our users or the public
With service providers who assist in operating the site, under appropriate confidentiality agreements

All gallery images are inherently public and are not subject to confidentiality protections.

Your Rights and Content Removal

If you submitted an image to the gallery and wish to request its removal, you may contact us. We will review your request and may remove content at our sole discretion. However, we cannot guarantee the removal of copies that others may have already saved or shared.

We strongly encourage you to consider carefully before submitting any image. The public nature of the gallery is permanent and immediate upon submission.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
