1. Who We Are
Medical Mnemonics (medicalmnemonics.co.uk) is a free educational resource providing memory aids for medical students and clinicians. This Privacy Policy explains what limited information may be collected when you visit this website and how it is used.
For any privacy-related questions, contact us at: admin@innovationsandmore.com
2. What Information We Collect
We do not actively collect any personal information. There are no sign-up forms, user accounts, or data submission features on this website.
However, like all websites, our web server may automatically record basic technical information when you visit, including:
- Your IP address (assigned by your internet provider)
- Browser type and version (e.g. Chrome, Firefox)
- Device type (e.g. desktop, mobile)
- Pages visited and time of visit
- Referring website (where you came from)
This information is stored in standard server logs and is not linked to any identifiable individual.
3. Why We Collect This Information
Server log data is used solely for:
- Keeping the website running correctly
- Diagnosing technical errors
- Monitoring general site performance
We do not use this data to build profiles, serve advertising, or track individuals across the internet.
4. Legal Basis for Processing (UK & EU)
Under UK GDPR and EU GDPR, we rely on legitimate interests as our legal basis for processing basic server log data. Our legitimate interest is ensuring the technical functionality and security of this website. This processing is minimal, proportionate, and does not override the rights of visitors.
5. Cookies
We aim to use no cookies or only essential technical cookies required for the site to function. We do not use advertising cookies or cross-site tracking. Please see our Cookie Policy for full details.
6. Analytics
We may use basic, privacy-friendly analytics to understand how many people visit the site and which pages are popular. If analytics are used, no personally identifiable information is collected and data is not shared with third parties for commercial purposes.
7. Sharing Your Information
We do not sell, rent, or share any data about visitors with third parties for marketing or commercial purposes. Basic server log data may be held by our web hosting provider (Hostinger) as part of their standard infrastructure services, governed by their own privacy policy.
8. Data Retention
Standard server logs are typically retained for a short period (usually 30–90 days) for technical purposes, after which they are deleted automatically.
9. Security
We take reasonable steps to ensure this website is secure. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of any data passing through standard server infrastructure.
10. Children's Privacy
This website is intended for medical students and healthcare professionals. It is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or 16 in certain EU member states). We do not knowingly collect any information from children.
11. Your Rights — UK & EU Visitors
Under UK GDPR and EU GDPR, you have the right to:
- Access — request a copy of any personal data we hold about you
- Erasure — request deletion of your personal data
- Restriction — request that we limit how we use your data
- Objection — object to processing based on legitimate interests
- Portability — request your data in a portable format
- Complaint — lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk
Given that we collect no personal data beyond anonymous server logs, most of these rights will not be practically applicable in the ordinary course of visiting this site.
12. Your Rights — California Residents (CCPA/CPRA)
If you are a resident of California, you have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), including:
- The right to know what personal information is collected about you

We do not sell or share personal information as defined by California law. Server log data is used solely for technical site operation and is not sold or used for targeted advertising.
13. International Visitors
This website is operated from the United Kingdom. If you are visiting from outside the UK, your use of this website means that any technical server log data may be processed in the UK or by our hosting provider's infrastructure. By using the site, you acknowledge this. We apply the standards of UK GDPR as a baseline for all users globally.
