Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 28, 2026
Scope
This policy covers the public RetGuard website and its contact form. RetGuard does not currently provide a deployed clinical device or patient-data processing service through this website.
Information you provide
If you contact us, we receive the name, work email, organization, role, country, message, and partnership-interest information you submit. Please do not send patient data, protected health information, retinal images, medical records, credentials, or confidential device data through the form.
Website analytics and cookies
The site may use privacy-oriented traffic analytics and a cookie preference notice. Basic technical information such as page visits, browser type, approximate region, and referrer may be processed to understand website use and maintain security.
Form delivery
When the online form is active, submissions are delivered to ghoneim2012@gmail.com through Web3Forms. Information submitted through the form is therefore processed by that service to transmit your message. You may instead email that address directly.
How we use information
We use contact information to respond to inquiries, assess potential research collaborations, maintain correspondence, protect the website, and meet legal obligations. We do not authorize clinical use or make a partnership agreement by collecting a message.
Retention and sharing
We retain correspondence only as reasonably needed for the inquiry, recordkeeping, security, and legal obligations. We may share it with service providers supporting website hosting, analytics, and message delivery, or when required by law. We do not sell contact-form data.
Research data
Any future research involving retinal images or clinical data would require a separate written agreement, ethics and data-governance review, security controls, and a study-specific privacy analysis. This website policy does not authorize that transfer.
Your choices
You may request access, correction, or deletion of contact information, subject to applicable law and legitimate recordkeeping needs, by emailing ghoneim2012@gmail.com. You can manage non-essential cookies through the website preference control.
