How is my information kept safe?

As doctors and researchers, we understand that information about your life is personal. Like our patients’ health information, it is our top priority to keep the information you share private and secure. All communications between you and the study are encrypted, and our data centers are physically and digitally secured.



All studies are reviewed by the Human Research Protection Program (HRPP) at Stanford University. In addition, we have obtained a Certificate of Confidentiality (CoC) from the National Institutes of Health that prohibits disclosure of identifiable, sensitive research information to anyone not connected to the research.
