This Privacy Policy explains how China Care Atlas collects, uses, stores, and discloses information when you visit chinacareatlas.com, create an account, use planning tools, submit inquiries, or interact with our content and services.

China Care Atlas is an information and planning service for medical travel in China. We are not a hospital, clinic, insurer, or emergency medical provider.

Please do not submit unnecessary sensitive medical records or highly detailed health information unless a specific workflow clearly asks for it.

  • clicks, form interactions, and session-level activity

5. Device and Technical Information

We may collect technical data including:

  • IP address
  • browser type and version
  • device type
  • operating system
  • language settings
  • approximate location inferred from IP
  • error logs and diagnostic data

6. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We may use cookies, local storage, pixels, and similar technologies to:

  • keep sessions active
  • remember preferences
  • measure traffic and engagement
  • improve performance and reliability

You can control cookies through your browser settings, but some website functions may not work properly if cookies are disabled.

7. Payment Information

If paid services are introduced, payment-related information may be collected and processed through third-party payment providers. We do not intend to store full payment card details on our own servers unless clearly stated in a future workflow.

How We Use Information

We may use personal information to:

  • operate and maintain the website
  • provide account functionality
  • respond to support requests and inquiries
  • generate planning guidance and service recommendations
  • improve product quality, content structure, and user experience
  • analyze usage and performance
  • detect fraud, abuse, or security issues
  • process transactions where applicable
  • comply with legal obligations
  • enforce our Terms of Service and other policies

Legal and Practical Basis for Processing

Depending on the situation, we may process information because:

  • it is necessary to provide the service you requested
  • it helps us operate, secure, and improve the service
  • you have chosen to submit the information to us
  • we are required to do so by law or lawful process

How We Share Information

We do not sell personal information.

We may share information only in limited circumstances, including:

  • with service providers that help us operate the website, infrastructure, analytics, authentication, email, hosting, storage, or payments
  • with professional advisors where reasonably necessary
  • when required by law, regulation, court order, or lawful governmental request
  • when necessary to protect the rights, safety, security, or integrity of the service, our users, or the public
  • in connection with a merger, financing, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets, or similar business transaction

Any sharing is limited to the extent reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose.

Third-Party Services and Links

The website may contain links to third-party websites, hospitals, providers, maps, payment services, or embedded tools. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third parties. Their collection and use of information are governed by their own policies.

Data Retention

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to:

  • provide the service
  • maintain accounts and planning history
  • respond to inquiries
  • comply with legal, tax, accounting, or security obligations
  • resolve disputes
  • enforce agreements

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the purpose for which it was collected.

Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect information from unauthorized access, disclosure, loss, misuse, or alteration.

However, no website, database, email transmission, or cloud environment can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You use the service and transmit information at your own risk.

International Access and Data Transfers

China Care Atlas may use infrastructure, service providers, or support tools that process information in more than one jurisdiction. By using the service, you understand that information may be stored or processed outside your country, subject to applicable safeguards and operational needs.

Your Choices

Depending on your location and the nature of your interaction with the service, you may be able to:

  • update or correct account information
  • request deletion of certain account data
  • disable cookies through browser settings
  • opt out of non-essential communications
  • stop using the service at any time

If you make a request, we may need to verify your identity and may retain certain information where required for legal, security, or operational reasons.

Children’s Privacy

China Care Atlas is not intended for children to use independently. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children without appropriate authorization from a parent or legal guardian where required by law.

Sensitive Health Information

China Care Atlas is designed for planning support, not for clinical diagnosis or emergency care. Users should avoid submitting highly sensitive health records unless a clearly identified service flow requires it. If such information is submitted, it will be handled within the operational and technical limits of the service and applicable law, but users should act carefully and share only what is necessary.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The most current version will be posted on this page and will become effective when published. Continued use of the service after an update means you accept the revised policy.
