This Privacy Policy explains what information UncutMed collects from visitors to this Website, how that information is used, how it is protected, and what rights you have in relation to your personal data. It applies to all users of this Website regardless of the country or region from which they access it.

UncutMed is an independently operated medical education website. The Website is owned and managed by an individual operator based in Greece, European Union.
For any privacy-related enquiries, you may contact us at: 📧 contact@uncutmed.com 🌐 www.uncutmed.com/contact
2. What Information We Collect
UncutMed collects two categories of information from its users: information you provide to us directly, and information collected automatically when you visit the Website.
2a. Information You Provide Directly
Contact Form Submissions: When you choose to contact UncutMed through our contact form or by emailing contact@uncutmed.com directly, we collect the information you voluntarily provide — typically your name, email address, and the content of your message. This information is used solely to respond to your enquiry and is not used for any other purpose without your explicit consent.
Comments: If UncutMed enables a comments section on any article or page, any information you submit as part of a comment — including your name, email address, and comment content — will be collected and displayed publicly on the Website. Please be mindful of the information you share in public comment sections.
2b. Information Collected Automatically
Log Data: When you visit UncutMed, our web server automatically records certain technical information — including your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, time and date of your visit, and time spent on each page. This information is collected automatically as part of standard web server operation and is used for technical administration and security purposes.
Cookies: Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. UncutMed uses cookies to improve your browsing experience and to collect analytical data about how the Website is used. The types of cookies used on UncutMed are described in detail in Section 6 of this Privacy Policy.
Analytics Data: UncutMed uses Google Analytics — a web analytics service provided by Google LLC — to collect and analyse information about how visitors use the Website. Google Analytics collects information including pages visited, time spent on the Website, geographic location at a regional level, device type, browser type, and the source through which you arrived at the Website. This data is collected in an aggregated and anonymised form and is used to understand our audience, improve content, and guide the development of UncutMed. For more information about how Google Analytics collects and processes data, please visit: https://policies.google.com/privacy
3. How We Use Your Information
UncutMed uses the information collected from users for the following purposes:
To Operate and Maintain the Website: Technical data collected automatically — including log data and cookies — is used to ensure the Website functions correctly, to identify and resolve technical issues, and to maintain the security and integrity of the Website.
To Respond to Enquiries: Personal information submitted through the contact form or by email is used exclusively to respond to your specific enquiry. We do not use this information for marketing purposes or share it with third parties without your consent.
To Analyse and Improve the Website: Anonymised and aggregated analytics data collected through Google Analytics is used to understand how visitors interact with UncutMed, which content is most valuable to our readers, and how the Website can be improved. This data does not identify individual users.
To Ensure Legal Compliance: We may use or disclose personal information where required to do so by applicable law, regulation, legal process, or governmental authority — for example in response to a court order or law enforcement request.
To Protect the Website and Its Users: Information may be used to detect, investigate, and prevent fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful activity on the Website and to protect the rights, property, and safety of UncutMed and its users.
4. Legal Basis for Processing Personal Data — European Union Users
For users accessing UncutMed from within the European Union, the processing of personal data is governed by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) — Regulation (EU) 2016/679. UncutMed processes personal data on the following legal bases:
Legitimate Interests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR): The collection of technical log data, analytics data, and the use of functional cookies is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating, maintaining, and improving the Website — provided that such interests are not overridden by your fundamental rights and freedoms.
Consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR): Where cookies that are not strictly necessary for the functioning of the Website are used — such as analytics cookies — we will seek your consent prior to placing such cookies on your device, where required by applicable law. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.
Contract Performance (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR): Where you submit a contact form enquiry, we process your personal data to the extent necessary to respond to your message — on the basis that you have initiated communication with us and expect a response.
Legal Obligation (Article 6(1)(c) GDPR): We may process personal data where required to comply with a legal obligation to which UncutMed is subject under applicable European Union or Member State law.
5. How We Share Your Information
UncutMed does not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to third parties for commercial purposes. Your personal data is treated with strict confidentiality.
We may share information in the following limited circumstances:
Service Providers: UncutMed uses a small number of trusted third-party service providers to operate the Website — including web hosting (Hostinger), and web analytics (Google Analytics). These providers may process certain technical data in the course of providing their services. They are contractually obligated to handle data securely and only for the purposes for which it was shared.
Legal Requirements: We may disclose personal information if required to do so by law or in response to valid legal requests by public authorities — such as a court order or government agency request — where we are legally obligated to comply.
Protection of Rights: We may disclose information where we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of UncutMed, its users, or the public — including to prevent fraud or address security threats.
Business Transfers: In the event that UncutMed is transferred, acquired, or merged with another entity in the future, user information held by UncutMed may be transferred as part of that transaction. In such circumstances we will notify users of any change in ownership or control of personal data and any choices they may have.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. You provide information to us at your own risk.
9. Your Rights as a Data Subject
Depending on your country of residence, you may have certain rights in relation to your personal data. Users within the European Union have the following rights under the GDPR:

In Greece, the supervisory authority is the Hellenic Data Protection Authority (HDPA), accessible at www.dpa.gr.
Users from other jurisdictions may have similar rights under their applicable national data protection laws. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at contact@uncutmed.com.
10. International Data Transfers

However, some of the third-party service providers we use — including Google Analytics — are based outside the European Union, including in the United States. When personal data is transferred outside the European Economic Area (EEA), we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data in accordance with GDPR requirements — including reliance on the European Commission’s adequacy decisions and standard contractual clauses where applicable.
By using this Website, you acknowledge that your information may be transferred to and processed in countries outside your country of residence, including countries that may have different data protection laws to those in your country.
