Our Privacy Promise

Plain language about your health data — what we do, what we don’t, and where AI fits. No slogans that oversell.

We do not sell your personal information.

Your waitlist email, logs, and uploads are not a product we sell to advertisers or data brokers.

We do not train AI models on your PHI.

Educational guidance is informed by published research — not by fine-tuning models on your private health details.

We do not share your questions or conversations for advertising.

Support and product operations may access accounts when needed to help you or keep the service running.

How AI answers work (honest version)

To generate educational responses, prompts may be processed by AI infrastructure providers solely to return a response to you. That is not the same as “data never leaves your device.” We choose providers and settings carefully, and we describe retention in our Privacy Notice.

HIPAA status

Vela Health is a consumer wellness and education product. We are not currently operating as a HIPAA covered entity or business associate for routine consumer use. Do not treat Vela as a substitute for your clinician’s medical record.
