MeloCare
Security
Two lists: what is true of the product today, and what is not built yet. We would rather under-promise here than be caught describing controls we have not shipped.
What is true today
- Traffic to MeloCare is served over HTTPS.
- Patient-entered health information — condition, medications, supplements, notes, conversations — is held in the browser on the patient’s own device. It is not written to a MeloCare database. When a patient asks MeloCare a question, or photographs a visit summary or a medication label, that question and their saved care profile pass through our servers to our AI provider so an answer can be produced.
- Care profiles stay on the device they were typed into.
- The only things MeloCare stores on a server are the church profile an administrator supplies — church name and scripture translation — and the subscription billing record. Neither contains patient information.
- Church profiles can no longer be created or edited by the public. Changes are made by MeloCare until sign-in for church administrators ships.
- Backup files are encrypted in the patient’s browser with a passphrase only they hold, and never pass through MeloCare.
What is not built yet
These are commitments, not descriptions of shipped controls. None of them should be relied on in procurement today.
- Accounts and sign-in for church administrators, with sessions and access removal.
- Per-church isolation enforced by an authenticated account model.
- Audit logging of administrative access to production data.
- A written retention and deletion policy, a breach-notification procedure, workforce training records, and a named privacy contact.
- Written data-processing agreements with every vendor underneath us that could touch health information, including the AI provider.
Until that list is finished, MeloCare is not sold as a HIPAA-ready service and no church should present it to families as one on the strength of this page.
Guardrails in the product
MeloCare is instructed never to give a dose, never to call a combination safe or unsafe, and never to tell anyone to change treatment. MeloCare does not review a person’s specific combination of medications and supplements at all. Questions about interactions produce a printable list of what the person takes and the instruction to have a pharmacist review it.
A filter that checks every answer before a patient sees it is being built. Until it ships, these limits are instructions to the model, not an enforced control.
Reporting something
If you find a vulnerability or see an answer that crosses a line, tell us through the waitlist form and we will respond. We would rather hear it early.
This page describes how MeloCare operates. It is not legal advice, and it is reviewed as the product changes.
