Privacy, stated plainly.

This privacy policy applies to this independent informational website about STONE Diagnostics, not to STONE Diagnostics’ official website. It describes the code provided with this website package. Hosting services or future integrations may have separate practices that must be reviewed before public launch.

1. Information collected by this site

As supplied, this site does not include an analytics script, an advertising tracker, cookies set by its own JavaScript, an account system, or a working message submission service. It does not deliberately collect personal information from visitors through its own application code.

2. Contact form

The contact form is a visual preview and is intentionally inactive. Submitting it does not send information to a server, email inbox, third-party service, or database. Text entered into the fields remains in the visitor's browser for as long as the page remains open; the form does not store that text in browser storage. Do not enter sensitive health or patient information.

3. Hosting and technical logs

Once the site is hosted, the hosting company or content delivery network may automatically process technical data such as IP addresses, request timestamps, device/browser data, and visited pages for security and operations. Actual hosting practices depend on the provider you select and are not controlled by this static site package. The site operator must verify and update this section after choosing hosting.

4. Cookies and tracking

The delivered source code does not set first-party cookies and does not contain third-party analytics, advertising, pixels, or embedded media. Future tools, hosting products, or integrations may alter this and require a revised policy or consent controls where applicable.

5. Links to other websites

News articles and official company links lead to external websites. Their operators may collect information and use cookies under their own privacy policies. This site does not control those third-party websites.

6. Data retention and sharing

This site package does not transmit or persist contact form messages, so it has no application-side contact submissions to retain or share. Technical logs, if any, are handled by the website host under its own configuration and retention rules.

7. Children's privacy

The website is for general informational use. It is not directed to children and does not intentionally solicit information from them.

8. Health information and medical advice

This website is not a patient portal and should not be used to transmit medical records, protected health information, laboratory orders, or test results. It does not provide medical advice.

9. Changes to this policy

The operator should update this document whenever the site adds a functioning contact form, analytics, new hosting-related data practices, or other processing functionality. The effective date above should be updated on publication.

10. Contact and official company information

For questions about this independent site, visit the contact page; the form is currently inactive. For questions involving clinical tests or the company itself, visit the official STONE Diagnostics contact page. This privacy policy does not replace the official company's privacy policy.
