Short version: we collect as little as possible. No tracking, no advertising cookies, no selling of data.

Last updated: 5 November 2026

Who is responsible

Questions or requests about your data: privacy [at] hospitalnearme [dot] org.

What we collect, and why

• Contact form: your e-mail address, optional name and your message, so we can reply. Kept for up to 24 months, then deleted.
• Add or update a hospital: your e-mail address, the hospital details, and any logo or photos you upload, so we can check the request and publish it. Uploads from declined requests are deleted right away.
• “Hospitals near me”: only when you tap the button, your browser asks for your location. It is used once to find the nearest hospitals and is never stored.
• Spam protection: forms use Cloudflare Turnstile, which checks that you're human. To limit abuse we keep a one-way code made from your IP address and the date; we never store your IP address itself.

Hospital information

Hospital pages show information from public map listings: name, address, phone number, website, opening hours and ratings. We never collect or show health data about patients. If you work for a hospital and want something changed or removed, use Correct or remove a hospital.

Services we use

• Cloudflare hosts the site, the database and uploaded images, and provides Turnstile.
• OpenStreetMap map tiles: your browser loads map images from OpenStreetMap servers, which see your IP address.
• Google Fonts: the text font is loaded from Google's servers, which see your IP address.
• Brevo may be used to send e-mail replies and notifications.

We don't use analytics or advertising trackers. If that ever changes, we'll update this page and ask for your consent where required.

Cookies
