Terms of Use

Short version: MedMemory is a free early-testing app for keeping your own health records. It never gives medical advice. Your records are yours.

These terms cover the MedMemory app and this website, medmemory.org. MedMemory is made and run by Lynn Haas, an individual developer. In these terms, "I" and "we" mean Lynn Haas, and "you" means the person using MedMemory. By using MedMemory, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use it.

What MedMemory is

MedMemory is a personal records tool. It helps you keep your own medicines, allergies, shots, lab results, insurance cards, and other health papers on your phone, and show or share them when you choose.

Not medical advice

• MedMemory records and shares. It never gives medical advice, makes a diagnosis, suggests doses, or says which shots you need.
• It does not check whether your medicines are safe together. It does not judge or explain lab results. Values are shown exactly as printed or typed.
• Records you import or type can be wrong or out of date, and reading a picture of text can make mistakes. Always confirm with your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist before you make a health decision.
• In an emergency, call 911 or your local emergency number.

Free during early testing

Joining the testing is free at this stage. I can't promise it will always be free. If that ever changes, testers will be told well ahead of time, and nothing will be charged without your say-so. If you connect your own outside service, such as a label-reading service, that service may charge you. That is between you and them.

Your records are yours

• You own your records. Using MedMemory gives me no rights to them.
• Your records are stored on your own device, encrypted, behind your PIN. There is no MedMemory account.
• You can make a backup file of your records at any time, and you can delete records, or a whole person's profile, from the app.
• Server backup and family sharing are optional, and only for testers who choose them. They are encrypted on your phone first, and the server can't read them. A family share link lasts up to 7 days. The Privacy page explains exactly what the server holds.
• If you lose your PIN, your recovery words, and your backup, nobody can unlock your records, including me.

Connecting a patient portal

Where MedMemory offers it, you can connect a patient portal to bring in your own records. You sign in with your own portal login, on the portal's own sign-in page. MedMemory never sees your portal password. The connection is read-only: MedMemory reads records you allow and never changes anything in your health system's records. Its sign-in token is kept on your phone, encrypted behind your PIN. The app doesn't have a disconnect button yet. To end its access, remove MedMemory from your portal account's connected apps, where your portal offers that. Records that come in still land on a review screen, and nothing is saved until you confirm.

MedMemory is not a health care provider or a health plan, and it is not a HIPAA covered entity or a business associate of one. Your health system's own rules still cover the records it keeps.

Testing software, as is

MedMemory is early testing software. Expect rough edges, and keep your own copy of anything important. It is provided "as is" and "as available", without any warranty, to the extent the law allows. That includes any promise that it will be accurate, always available, free of errors, or fit for a particular purpose.

Limits on liability

To the extent the law allows, I am not liable for any indirect or consequential loss, or for lost data, that comes from using MedMemory or not being able to use it. If I am found liable anyway, the total is limited to the amount you paid to use MedMemory, which during testing is zero. Some places don't allow these limits, so some of them may not apply to you.

Using MedMemory fairly

• Only keep records that are yours, or that you have the right to keep, such as for your child or someone who has asked you to.
• Don't use MedMemory to break the law, to harm anyone, or to see someone else's records without their permission.
• Don't attack, overload, or try to break into the MedMemory server or the app, and don't share your tester sign-in.
• I may pause or end a tester's access if these terms are broken.

Changes

MedMemory will change as testing goes on. I may change these terms, change features, or end the service. If I make an important change to these terms, or plan to end the service, I'll tell testers ahead of time, so you can make a backup file and keep your records. Your records on your phone stay on your phone.

The law that applies

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Utah, in the United States, except where the law where you live says otherwise.
