Privacy Policy
How CareHub handles personal information
This Privacy Policy explains what information CareHub collects, how it is used, when it may be shared, and what choices you have.
I'm David Lennard, founder of CareHub.
I'm a terminal cancer patient tired of healthcare feeling like a bad spy thriller, full of data leaks, loss of my patient records, inappropriate emergency care, and no societal regard for patient safety in the pandemic era.
Before I even sketched out CareHub, privacy and security came first.
I had to come up with a methodology that would significantly improve patient outcomes in a decentralized format for global access, while protecting users.
We're tracking everything from how your treatments are hitting or missing, side effects, daily vibes like diet, exercise, and stress levels.
This flips the script from "hope nothing explodes between appointments" to proactive awesomeness.
As CareHub grows, the intent is to formalize input from patients, caregivers, clinicians, and aligned supporters through an advisory board and Founder Program so governance stays close to the people living the problem.
The long-term goal is a mission-locked structure, including a potential B Corp pathway, that keeps CareHub privacy-first, outcomes-focused, and free forever at the point of use wherever that can be sustained responsibly.

When you create a user account, our securrity protocols require a valid email address, and your permission to use the clinical data you provide us with. That's the whole point of our existence: Use our collective brains and technology to get the right information, to the right people, in a flash. Patient outcomes will improve in a flash!
- Account Info: Email address and account authentication details.
- Profile: Display name, app preferences, and optional profile details you choose to provide.
- Vitals: Health and wellness data you voluntarily enter into trackers and tools.
- Usage: Technical and usage data for reliability, security, and improvement.
- What We Do Not Intentionally Collect: Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, or full payment card details.
How We Protect You
We use technical and organizational safeguards intended to protect personal information, including access controls, authentication protections including 2FA support, and encrypted data transmission and storage through our infrastructure providers.
