Privacy Policy

ThankYouDoctor is built with privacy-conscious controls. This policy explains what we collect, why, and the choices you have.

What we collect

• Mobile number — used only to verify you with a one-time password (OTP) and to send status updates about your submission. It is stored encrypted, is never displayed publicly, and is never sold.
• Your Thank You — the written text, audio, or video you choose to submit, along with the attribution level you select (full name, first name, or anonymous).
• Consent records — the confirmations you provide at submission time, kept with your Thank You.
• Technical data — limited, privacy-conscious usage events (never your phone number, your Thank You content, or medical details).

How your content is used

• Submissions are screened by automated tools and then reviewed by a human moderator before any publication.
• Sensitive details (contact information, ID numbers, third-party names) may be redacted during moderation.
• Audio and video files are stored in private storage and served only through time-limited links.

Your choices

• You choose how you appear publicly: full name, first name only, or anonymous.
• You may request removal of your Thank You at any time via the Removal Request page.
• Please avoid including medical details you do not want made public — we do not require any diagnosis information.

Retention

Rejected submissions and unverified accounts are retained only for a limited, configurable period before deletion. Published content remains until you request removal or moderation removes it.

For privacy questions or requests, use the Removal Request page or the report link on any published Thank You.
