Short version: you do not need an account, we do not use advertising or analytics cookies, we count visits without cookies, your practice answers stay in your own browser, and nothing from YouTube loads until you press play.

Who we are
Medservatory (medservatory.com) is operated by ADMR Solutions Ltd, registered in England and Wales (company number 16255251), registered office 124 City Road, London, EC1V 2NX, United Kingdom. We are the data controller for the personal data described here and are registered with the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (registration ZC080973). Contact: info@medservatory.com.
What we collect, and why
| Data | Why | Lawful basis (UK GDPR) | Kept for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Server logs kept by our hosting provider: IP address, browser type, page requested, time | To deliver the site, keep it secure and diagnose faults | Legitimate interests | As set by the host, typically days to a few weeks |
| Anonymous visit counts (Vercel Web Analytics): page visited, referring site, campaign tag in the link (for example utm_source=instagram), country, device and browser type | To know which pages are useful and where visitors come from | Legitimate interests | As set by Vercel, aggregated |
| Emails you send us, with your name and address | To answer you and act on corrections | Legitimate interests | Up to 24 months, then deleted |
We do not ask you to create an account, we do not sell personal data, and we do not use advertising, tracking or analytics cookies. We count visits with Vercel Web Analytics, which sets no cookies and does not identify you: it groups requests using a short-lived hash that is discarded within a day, and we only see totals.
Practice answers
When you answer a practice question, your choice and the time are stored in your own browser’s local storage so the page can show what you chose last time. This never leaves your device and we cannot see it. You can clear it at any time by clearing site data in your browser.
YouTube videos
Lesson videos are hosted on YouTube. Until you press play, the page shows a still image from our own server and makes no request to YouTube. When you press play, the video loads in YouTube’s privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com). From that point Google may collect information under Google’s privacy policy, and may use cookies or similar storage. See our cookie notice.
Who processes data for us
- Our website host (Vercel Inc.), which serves the pages, keeps server logs and provides cookieless visit counts (Vercel Web Analytics).
- Our email provider, which stores messages you send to info@medservatory.com.
- Google (YouTube), only if you play a video, as an independent controller.
Some of these providers process data outside the UK, including in the United States. Where they do, transfers rely on UK adequacy regulations (including the UK–US data bridge) or the UK International Data Transfer Addendum to standard contractual clauses.
Your rights
You have the right to access, correct or delete your personal data, to object to or restrict our use of it, and to data portability. Email info@medservatory.com. We will reply within one month. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office.
Children
Medservatory is written for medical students and graduates. It is not directed at children under 16.
Changes
If we change how we handle personal data, for example by adding optional accounts to save progress, we will update this page before the change goes live and show the new date above.
