Effective Date: February 18, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how GI Jad (“GI Jad,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards information when you visit www.gijad.com (the “Site”) or use our services, including any interactive features, accounts, and tools (collectively, the “Services”). By using the Services, you consent to the practices described in this Policy.

1) Scope and important notice about health information

GI Jad is an educational platform. Do not submit or upload personal health information (“PHI”) or other sensitive medical data through the Site or Services. The Services are not designed for emergency use and are not intended to create a physician-patient relationship.

HIPAA notice: Unless explicitly stated otherwise in writing, GI Jad is not acting as a “covered entity” or “business associate” under HIPAA for Site/Services use. If you believe you have submitted sensitive information, contact us promptly at [info@gijad.com] so we can assist with deletion requests where feasible.

2) Information we collect

We collect information in three main ways: (A) information you provide; (B) information collected automatically; and (C) information from third-party services you use to access the Site.

A) Information you provide

Depending on how you use the Services, you may provide:

  • Account information: such as name, email address, username, password (stored/handled by our platform provider), and account preferences.

  • Communications: information you provide when you email us, submit support requests, or otherwise communicate with us.

  • User content (non-PHI): content you submit in connection with the Services (e.g., comments or feedback). Do not include identifying medical details.

B) Information collected automatically

When you access the Site, we (and our service providers) automatically collect:

  • Device and usage data: IP address, browser type, device identifiers, operating system, referring/exit pages, approximate location derived from IP (city/state level), timestamps, and pages/features you use.

  • Log data and security data: logs used to maintain service reliability, prevent fraud/abuse, and troubleshoot issues.

C) Information from third parties (single sign-on / platform)

If you access the Services through a third-party platform feature (e.g., membership/login tools provided by our website platform), that provider may share limited information with us as needed to authenticate and manage your account (typically email, user ID, and account status).

3) Cookies and similar technologies

We and our service providers use cookies and similar technologies (e.g., local storage, pixels) to:

  • keep you logged in and maintain sessions,

  • enable essential site functions,

  • remember preferences, and

  • improve performance and security.

Analytics (if used): We may use analytics tools to understand Site traffic and usage trends. These tools may collect information such as your IP address and events/pages visited. You can often opt out via browser settings and industry opt-out tools, but blocking cookies may affect functionality.

Your choices: You can control cookies through your browser settings and may delete existing cookies. If you disable cookies, parts of the Services (including login) may not work properly.

4) How we use information

We use information to:

  • Provide and operate the Services (including account creation, authentication, and access management),

  • Maintain safety and integrity (e.g., prevent abuse, enforce policies, monitor for threats),

  • Communicate with you (service messages, responses to requests, administrative notices),

  • Improve and develop the Services (debugging, analytics, feature improvements),

  • Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms.

5) How we disclose information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information in the following circumstances:

  • Service providers: vendors that help us run the Site and Services (e.g., website hosting, authentication/membership tools, email delivery, analytics, security monitoring). They are permitted to use information only to provide services to us.

  • Legal and safety: if required to comply with law, legal process, or governmental request; to protect rights, safety, and security; or to investigate fraud/abuse.

  • Business transfers: in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of assets (information may be transferred subject to this Policy).

  • With your direction: when you ask us to share information.

6) Data retention

We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including to:

  • maintain your account,

  • provide the Services,

  • comply with legal obligations,

  • resolve disputes, and

  • enforce agreements.

We may retain aggregated or de-identified information longer where permitted by law.

7) Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect information. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for any activity under your account.

8) Your rights and choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or object to certain processing of your personal information. You can also:

  • Update account information through your account settings (if available),

  • Request deletion by contacting us at [info@gijad.com] (we may need to keep certain records for legal/security reasons),

  • Opt out of non-essential emails using unsubscribe links (service/transactional emails may still be sent).

9) International users

If you access the Services from outside the United States, your information may be processed and stored in the United States or other jurisdictions where our service providers operate, which may have different data-protection laws than your jurisdiction.

10) Children’s privacy

The Services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us at [info@gijad.com] and we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

11) Third-party links

The Site may contain links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third parties. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

12) Changes to this Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the Effective Date and may provide additional notice where appropriate. Your continued use of the Services after changes become effective means you accept the updated Policy.
