Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 14, 2026
iDoctor by Medivis (“iDoctor,” “we,” “us”) is a personal health knowledge graph and AI assistant. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your information when you use our services through messaging and the web portal at idoctor.com.
Information We Collect
Information You Provide
- Account information — phone number, name, date of birth, sex, email address.
- Health records — medications, lab results, conditions, observations, appointments, providers, vaccinations, and other health data you enter or upload.
- Documents — PDFs, images, and other files you upload for processing.
- Messages — conversations with iDoctor via messaging and the web chat.

- Emergency contact — name, phone, and relationship of your designated emergency contact.
Information We Collect Automatically

- Usage data — feature usage patterns and interaction metrics. No health data in analytics.
- Audit logs — records of data access and modifications for compliance and security review.
Connected Services (Optional)
- Email integration — if you connect your email account, we search for health-related emails from lab portals, pharmacies, and providers. We only access emails matching specific health-related filters. Email content is processed and discarded; only extracted health data is retained.
How We Use Your Information
- Provide personalized health assistance through AI-powered conversation.
- Extract, organize, and display your health records in the portal.
- Generate proactive health reminders and morning briefs.
- Detect medical emergencies and direct you to appropriate resources.
- Process and bill your subscription.
- Improve service quality and reliability.
- Comply with legal obligations.
We never sell your personal or health information. We never use your health data for advertising.
AI Processing
iDoctor uses artificial intelligence to understand your messages, interpret health records, and generate personalized responses. Your messages and health context are sent to our AI processing provider for analysis.
We do not train AI models on your conversations, health data, or any personal information. Our AI provider does not retain your data for model training under our agreement.
Image Analysis
When you send a photo via iMessage, the image is analyzed by our AI provider's vision capabilities alongside your text message. Images may be used to provide contextual health information (e.g., identifying a medication from a label, estimating nutritional content of food, or describing a skin concern for you to discuss with your doctor). Image URLs are stored in your conversation history.
Image analysis is not a diagnostic tool. iDoctor does not diagnose conditions from images. Any observations are educational only. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider.
iDoctor is not a medical device and does not provide diagnoses, treatment recommendations, or emergency medical care. AI responses are educational and informational. Always consult your healthcare provider for medical decisions.
Messaging Communication
iDoctor can communicate with you via text messaging through third-party messaging infrastructure. Messages containing health information are transmitted over encrypted messaging networks that Medivis does not operate or control.
By using iDoctor via messaging, you acknowledge that health information may be transmitted through third-party networks, and that anyone with access to your device may be able to read these messages. You may choose to receive health information only through the secure web portal at idoctor.com at any time by updating your preferences in Settings.
Data Storage and Security
Data Sharing
We share data only with the following categories of service providers, under appropriate contractual protections including Business Associate Agreements where required by HIPAA:
We do not share your data with any other third parties except as required by law. A detailed list of our service providers is available upon request for enterprise customers and compliance auditors.
iDoctor Family
iDoctor Family allows you to share health information with other iDoctor users you designate as family members (spouse, parent, child, sibling, caregiver, etc.).
Your conversation history, messages with iDoctor, and private notes are never shared with family members. Family members see a summary view of your health data only.
Proactive Messaging and Reminders
iDoctor may send you proactive messages via iMessage, including:
- Medication reminders — daily reminders at times you choose. You are always asked before any reminder is set.
- Morning health briefs — daily summaries of relevant health information.
- Refill alerts — notifications when medication refills are approaching.
- Appointment follow-ups — check-ins after scheduled appointments.
Medication reminders are never enabled without your explicit confirmation. You can opt out of any proactive messaging at any time by telling iDoctor to stop, or by adjusting your preferences in the portal.
Your Rights and Controls

- Active accounts — data retained for the life of the account.
- Deleted accounts — soft-deleted immediately, permanently purged after 30 days.
