AI Privacy

HAPTIC AI Privacy Policy

Human-Aligned Protocol for Trustworthy, Informed Care

HAPTIC is designed with your privacy as the foundation, not an afterthought. This policy explains how we handle your data when you use our AI assistant.

Our Core Principles

No Data Storage

Your conversations are not stored on our servers. Each session is ephemeral and exists only in your browser.

No Personal Identifiers

We do not collect names, emails, or any personally identifiable information through HAPTIC conversations.

UK GDPR Compliant

Our AI processing complies with UK data protection laws and NHS information governance standards.

No AI Training

Your conversations are never used to train AI models. Your questions remain your own.

What is HAPTIC?

HAPTIC (Human-Aligned Protocol for Trustworthy, Informed Care) is StrokeWize's AI assistant designed to provide general stroke recovery information and guidance. It uses advanced language models to answer questions about stroke recovery, rehabilitation, and wellbeing.

Important: HAPTIC provides educational information only. It is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult with your healthcare team for medical decisions.

How We Process Your Questions

Technical Infrastructure

HAPTIC is powered by Cloudflare Workers AI, which processes your questions in the following way:

  • Your question is sent directly to Cloudflare's AI infrastructure via encrypted HTTPS connection
  • The AI generates a response based on its training and our stroke-specific guidance
  • The response is delivered to your browser immediately
  • No logs, transcripts, or conversation history are retained on our servers

What We Store Locally

The only data stored is in your browser's localStorage:

  • Consent status: Whether you've agreed to the AI terms (so we don't ask repeatedly)
  • Timestamp: When consent was given

This data never leaves your device and can be cleared at any time through your browser settings.

Cloudflare's Privacy Practices

We've chosen Cloudflare Workers AI specifically for their strong privacy stance:

  • Cloudflare does not use customer data to train AI models
  • Data is processed in-memory and not logged
  • Infrastructure is certified under ISO 27001, SOC 2, and other standards
  • UK and EU data residency options ensure compliance with local regulations

For full details, see Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.

Health Information Notice

Important Medical Disclaimer

HAPTIC provides general educational information about stroke recovery. It is not:

  • A diagnostic tool
  • A replacement for professional medical advice
  • An emergency service
  • Providing personalised medical recommendations

If you're experiencing a medical emergency, call 999 immediately.

We strongly recommend sharing any information from HAPTIC with your healthcare team before making decisions about your care.

Your Rights

Under UK GDPR, you have the right to:

  • Access: Request information about what data we hold (in this case, none beyond consent status)
  • Erasure: Clear your consent status by deleting your browser's localStorage for strokewize.com
  • Withdraw consent: Stop using HAPTIC at any time; no ongoing data processing occurs
  • Complain: Contact the Information Commissioner's Office if you have concerns
