Privacy Policy

1. OVERVIEW

FLORA is built with a privacy-first philosophy. We collect the minimum data necessary to deliver your report and nothing more. We do not create user accounts, we do not store your health data beyond 7 days, and we do not sell or share your information with third parties for advertising or commercial purposes.

This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and how we protect it. We use plain language because privacy policies should be readable by humans, not just lawyers.

2. WHAT WE COLLECT

Here is exactly what data touches our systems when you use FLORA:

3. WHAT WE DON'T COLLECT

To be explicit, FLORA does not collect or store:

• Your name
• Your email address
• Your mailing or billing address
• Your IP address in our database
• Any persistent user profile or account
• Your original test PDF after processing
• The raw extracted text from your PDF
• Any data for advertising, profiling, or AI training purposes

4. HOW WE USE YOUR DATA

We use the data described above for one purpose only: to generate and deliver your gut health intelligence report.

Specifically:

• Your session ID links your payment confirmation to your report.
• Your PDF text is analyzed by AI to produce your report content.
• Your report JSON is stored temporarily so you can access it within 7 days.

We do not use your data for marketing, analytics profiling, AI model training, or any secondary purpose.

5. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

FLORA relies on the following third-party services to operate. Each has its own privacy policy:

6. DATA RETENTION

Your generated report JSON is stored for 7 days after creation, then automatically and permanently deleted from our database. Your PDF is never stored — it is discarded immediately after text extraction occurs in memory. There is no long-term retention of health data on our end.

7. YOUR RIGHTS

Because we collect almost no personally identifiable information, your privacy rights are largely protected by design. Specifically:

• Right to know: We've described above exactly what we store. It's your session ID, report JSON, and payment status.
• Right to deletion: Your report data is automatically deleted after 7 days. If you'd like it deleted sooner, email us at hello@floralytic.com with your session ID.

8. HEALTH DATA

We treat health-related data with particular care. Your gut test results are sensitive health information. Here is our commitment:

• Your PDF is discarded immediately after text extraction — never stored, never retained.
• The extracted text is sent only to Anthropic for AI analysis and is not stored by us.
• We do not sell, license, rent, or share your health data with any third party for commercial purposes.
• We do not use your health data to train AI models.
• We do not use your health data for advertising or profiling.

9. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

FLORA is not intended for users under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect any information from children. If you believe a minor has used this Service, please contact us at hello@floralytic.com and we will take appropriate action.

10. FTC HEALTH BREACH NOTIFICATION

As a service that handles personal health information, Fhloston Digital is subject to the Federal Trade Commission's Health Breach Notification Rule (16 C.F.R. Part 318). In the unlikely event of a data breach that involves health information, we will notify affected users within the timeframes required by applicable law, including within 60 days of discovery where required.

11. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of the Service after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
