Privacy Policy

Your privacy is fundamental to our mission. Learn how MedLedger protects and manages your personal health information.

1. Information We Collect

MedLedger is designed with privacy by design principles. We collect minimal information necessary to provide our services:

Your medical data is protected using military-grade encryption and blockchain technology:

  • Zero-Knowledge Architecture: We never have access to your unencrypted medical data
  • Blockchain Security: Immutable access logs and permissions stored on XRPL
  • End-to-End Encryption: AES-256 encryption with patient-controlled keys
  • HIPAA Compliance: All security measures meet or exceed HIPAA requirements
