PRIVACY · 私隱政策EFFECTIVE · 2026-07-16

We collect almost nothing.

There are no accounts on this site and no stored conversations, so this policy is short. The left column of each section is what we actually do; the right column is the precise wording.

§ 01

What we collect

IN PLAIN LANGUAGE

The minimum needed to run a free, anonymous service:

Your IP address — used only to enforce a daily request limit. The counter sits in a rate-limit cache and expires automatically within 24 hours.
A Cloudflare Turnstile token — to confirm you are a person, not a bot.
The messages and any documents in your current chat — processed to produce the answer, not written to any database of ours.
THE PRECISE WORDING

1.1 "Personal data" bears the meaning given in the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Cap. 486). 1.2 Per request, the service processes: (a) the IP address, for rate-limit enforcement in a cache whose entries expire within 24 hours; (b) a Cloudflare Turnstile verification token; (c) message and document content submitted during the active session. 1.3 No account credentials, names, e-mail addresses, telephone numbers, or government identifiers are requested or collected.

§ 02

What we don't collect

IN PLAIN LANGUAGE

There are no user accounts, so we never ask for or hold:

Names
Email addresses
Phone numbers
HKID numbers
Passwords or accounts
Advertising or analytics profiles
THE PRECISE WORDING

2.1 The operator maintains no user accounts and no database of user identities. 2.2 The operator runs no advertising trackers and builds no cross-session behavioural profiles of its own.

§ 03

Where your conversation lives

IN PLAIN LANGUAGE

Your conversation is held in your own browser (sessionStorage) so the site can hand it between screens. We do not store transcripts on our servers; close the tab and it is gone. Documents you upload are processed to produce the answer, then deleted.

THE PRECISE WORDING

3.1 Conversation state is persisted client-side in browser sessionStorage only and is not written to any server-side store of the operator. 3.2 Uploaded document content is processed to generate the response and then deleted.

§ 04

Service providers

IN PLAIN LANGUAGE

Handling a request touches these services, named plainly:

AI model provider — your chat messages and uploaded documents are sent to a third-party AI model provider to generate the reply.
Bot-mitigation service — a human-verification check runs before the chat can be used.
Managed database provider — hosts our database of public doctor, hospital, and plan data. It holds no user data.
Rate-limit cache provider — rate-limit counters keyed by IP address, expiring automatically.
Map service provider — the doctor map is an embedded third-party map; that provider's own terms apply when the map loads.
THE PRECISE WORDING

4.1 The operator engages the processors listed in this section solely to provide the service: a third-party AI model provider (model inference); a bot-mitigation service; a managed database provider (public-data hosting); a rate-limit cache provider; a map service provider (map embed). 4.2 The operator does not sell, rent, or transfer user data to any third party for marketing purposes.

§ 05

Cookies & local storage

IN PLAIN LANGUAGE

We set no analytics or advertising cookies of our own. Your language choice and chat handoff are kept in your browser's session storage and are not sent to us. Third-party components (Cloudflare Turnstile, Google Maps) may set their own cookies under their own policies.

THE PRECISE WORDING

5.1 The operator sets no advertising, behavioural, or analytics cookies. 5.2 Cookies set by third-party components are governed by those providers' own policies.

§ 06

Your rights

IN PLAIN LANGUAGE

Under the PDPO you have rights of access and correction. Because we keep no store of identifying personal data, there is normally nothing to retrieve — but you can always ask.

THE PRECISE WORDING

6.1 Users may exercise the data access and correction rights conferred by the PDPO by writing to hello@hkgooddoctor.com. 6.2 Given the practices in §§1–3, the operator will typically hold no personal data referable to an individual user.

§ 07

Changes & contact

IN PLAIN LANGUAGE

If this policy changes, the effective date at the top changes with it. Questions or PDPO requests: hello@hkgooddoctor.com

THE PRECISE WORDING

7.1 Amendments take effect on the effective date posted on this page. 7.2 All privacy inquiries and statutory requests: hello@hkgooddoctor.com.
