VetLab Link – Privacy Policy
Effective Date: May 2025
1. Introduction
Your privacy matters. This Privacy Policy explains how VetLab Link (“we,” “our,” or “us”) handles data when you use the VetLab Link application (“the App”) and its website (“the Website”).
By using the App or Website, you agree to the practices described below.
2. No Data Collection
VetLab Link does not collect, transmit, or store any personal or laboratory data.
All data is processed and stored locally on the machine where the App is installed. The App runs completely offline and does not require or establish an internet connection.
3. Local-Only Data Usage
-
Laboratory Data: All test results, patient records, and other sensitive data remain on your local computer.
-
Configuration Data: Any analyzer settings or preferences you define are stored locally.
-
No Cloud, No Syncing: VetLab Link does not sync data with external systems or servers.
4. No Data Sharing
VetLab Link does not share any data with third parties.
Since the App is offline-only, no data is transmitted to the internet or stored outside your device.
5. Voluntary User-Initiated Data Sharing
If you contact us for support and voluntarily provide anonymized HL7 messages (e.g., to troubleshoot analyzer compatibility), we will:
-
Use them only to resolve your issue or improve device support.
-
Never share them with third parties.
-
Delete them once the support request is resolved.
6. Security
The App is designed to run in a secure, offline environment.
However, the protection of your data depends on how you manage your own computer.
You are responsible for ensuring that your machine is protected from unauthorized access, malware, or network threats.
7. Your Rights
Because VetLab Link does not process any personal data, regulations like GDPR or CCPA generally do not apply.
You retain full control over all data generated and stored by the App on your system.
8. Open Source Considerations
VetLab Link is open-source software licensed under the MIT License.
Anyone can view, modify, and redistribute the source code. If you use a modified version published by someone else, their version may behave differently and you should refer to their privacy policy.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on the Website.
Your continued use of the App after an update indicates your acceptance of the revised terms.
10. Contact
If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, feel free to contact us through the Website or GitHub repository.
