Data security and user privacy are very, VERY important to us. Please read our Privacy Policy carefully for details relating to how we collect, use, and disclose personal information you provide to us in connection with your use of the Software.

As the Software is provided in the form of a self-hosted Instance, Fasten Health will not have access to any of Your Content unless you include Your Content via email or other support channels to Fasten Health.

However, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will never be able to defeat those measures or use your information for improper purposes. You understand that internet technologies have the inherent potential for disclosure.
