The short version
When you sign in, your login credentials go to a cryptographic service — not to us. We only ever receive a pseudonymous wallet address. We never see your name, email, or Google account.
The problem with health platforms
Most health apps ask you to create an account with your name and email. That means someone — the company, their advertisers, or anyone who gains access to their database — can connect your health searches and experiences to you personally.
WikiRemedy was built differently from the start.
How your anonymous identity works
When you sign in with Google or email, your login credentials never reach WikiRemedy. Instead they go to a cryptographic service called Web3Auth, which uses them to generate a unique wallet address — a string like 0xa3f2...8c91. That wallet address is the only thing WikiRemedy ever receives.
This means:
- We never see your name
- We never see your email address
- We never see your Google account
- Two different WikiRemedy users could share the same Google account — we would have no way of knowing
Your wallet address is permanent and unique. The same login always produces the same address, so your history follows you across sessions. But the address itself contains no personal information.
What we store
We store only what is needed to make WikiRemedy work:
That is the complete list. Nothing else.
What we never store
- Your name
- Your email address
- Your location
- Your IP address
- Your device information
- Your browsing history
- Any information about your actual identity
Who can see your data
Other users see your ratings and comments attributed to your truncated wallet address (e.g. 0xa3f2...8c91). They cannot identify you from this.
WikiRemedy sees your wallet address and contribution history. We cannot connect this to your real identity.
No one else. We do not sell, share or license your data to any third party — including pharmaceutical companies, supplement brands or advertisers.
Your data is yours
You can request deletion of your account and all associated data at any time by contacting contact@wikiremedy.org.
We will remove your wallet address, attempts, ratings and saved remedies within 30 days. Anonymised aggregate scores (e.g. a remedy's overall community score) cannot be retroactively removed as they contain no personally identifiable information.
Cookies and your device
WikiRemedy uses a single session cookie to keep you logged in. We use no advertising cookies, no tracking pixels and no third-party analytics.
Your onboarding status and login state are stored in your browser's local storage — they never leave your device.
A note on blockchain
Some people hear “wallet address” and think of cryptocurrency. WikiRemedy has nothing to do with cryptocurrency or blockchain transactions. The wallet address is simply a cryptographic identifier — a very secure way of generating a unique anonymous ID. No cryptocurrency is involved and no financial information is ever used or stored.
Remedy Reminder (our companion app)
If you use Remedy Reminder, our iOS app for tracking medications, supplements and habits, a few things work differently, since the app also handles real health data.
Remedy Reminder shares WikiRemedy's anonymous wallet-address identity system described above — the same rule applies: your email never reaches our database, only the wallet address does.
Beyond that, because Remedy Reminder is a personal health tracker, it does collect information WikiRemedy's website never touches:
- The medications, supplements and habits you track, and your completion history
- Health data you connect from Apple Health — height, weight, age, sex, steps and sleep. We only ever read this data; the app never writes back to Apple Health, and it's never used for advertising or shared with anyone for advertising or data-mining
- Vaccination records and family health history, if you choose to add them
- Lab result values, including any extracted from a photo or PDF you upload
Two Premium features (lab result scanning and AI health summaries) send the relevant health data to Anthropic's Claude API to generate your result. That data is used only to produce your result, not to train Anthropic's models.
Subscription payments go entirely through Apple — we never see or store your payment details.
