Alpha Testing & Data Notice

Last updated: September 2026

You’re helping us test an early version of FamilyRounds. Because you’ll be entering real health information, we want to be upfront about what that means. This notice supplements our Privacy Policy, Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy, and Terms.

This is early software

FamilyRounds is in active development. You may hit bugs, features may change or break, and — while we back up data — you should not rely on it as your only record of anything important. Please keep your own copies of critical documents.

What you’ll enter, and how it’s used

To use the app you’ll enter patient clinical information and may upload medical documents. We use this to generate the summaries, questions, checklists, updates, and coaching you request. To do that, your content is sent to our AI provider (Anthropic), which is contractually prohibited from using your data to train its models. Before text is sent, an automated step removes direct identifiers (names, contact details, Social Security numbers, and medical-record, insurance, and account numbers) and swaps them back in only in the result shown to you. This reduces what the AI provider sees but is not guaranteed to remove every identifier, and it is not a formal HIPAA de-identification — we intentionally keep clinical context like diagnoses, medications, treatment dates, and age (never the birth date) so guidance stays accurate. Voice-coaching text is also sent to a speech provider (ElevenLabs) to generate audio. If you use the microphone, your browser's built-in speech recognition turns your voice into text, and it may send your audio to Google, Apple, or Microsoft depending on your browser. We only receive the text. You can always type instead.

Not HIPAA, not medical advice

FamilyRounds is a consumer tool for family caregivers. It is not a HIPAA-covered service, and it does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always rely on your care team for medical decisions, and call your clinician or 911 for anything urgent.

A tip for your comfort

You don’t have to enter more than you’re comfortable with. If you’d rather, use the patient’s initials instead of their full name — the app works fine either way.

Your choices

You can export your data or permanently delete your account and all its data at any time in Account Settings, and withdraw consent to AI processing (which turns off the features that depend on it).

We’d love your feedback

As an alpha tester, you’ll occasionally be asked for feedback — it directly shapes the product. Thank you.
