Privacy Policy

Your data stays yours.

1. Who we are

Chairside (“we”, “us”) operates www.chairside.app from the United States. For anything in this policy, contact [email protected].

2. Data stored on your device

Everything you log is saved in your browser’s local storage on your own device, not on our servers. This includes:

• Assessment answers and results
• Meals, recipes and nutrition logs
• Workouts and fitness plans
• Medications and reminders
• Blood pressure, sleep, mood and wearable entries
• Lab results and their analyses
• Peptide cycle logs, settings and preferences

Because this data never leaves your device by default, it is also under your control alone. Clearing your browser data for this site permanently erases it, and we cannot recover it for you.

3. What we do not do

We do not sell or rent personal information. The app contains no advertising networks and no analytics or fingerprinting trackers. We do not operate a database of your health records unless you choose to enable Cloud Sync.

4. Optional features that send data

AI features. When you run an AI-powered feature, the text you enter, your assessment answers, and any file you attach (an injury photo or a lab report) are sent over an encrypted connection to our serverless proxy and passed to an AI model provider to generate your answer. This content is used to produce the response. Avoid including details you would not want processed, such as your full name alongside a health record.

Cloud Sync (off by default). If you sign in, your email and password (or Google sign-in) are processed by Base44, our sync provider. Synced records currently include your weight history and analysed lab reports, including files you upload, stored privately against your account. You can sign out at any time, and deleting a record removes the cloud copy.

Payments. Pro upgrades are processed by Stripe. Your card details go directly to Stripe, and we never see or store card numbers. We receive your subscription status so the app can unlock Pro features.

Food search. Search terms and barcodes are forwarded through our proxy to USDA FoodData Central and FatSecret to return nutrition data.

Location. Used only when you open the hospital, clinic or support finders. With your permission we use GPS; otherwise coarse network or timezone inference. Coordinates are used for the lookup, including queries to SAMHSA’s findtreatment.gov, and are not stored by us.

Content delivery. Fonts and icons load from public content delivery networks. As with any website, this shares your IP address with the CDN.

5. Legal bases

Where such laws apply, we process data with your consent (the optional features above), to perform our contract with you (Pro subscriptions), and for our legitimate interests in running and securing the service.

6. Retention

On-device data stays until you clear it. Cloud Sync records stay until you delete them or ask us to. Payment records are kept by Stripe under its own policy and by us only as required for tax and accounting.

7. Your rights and choices

You can use Chairside with no account at all. You can delete on-device data at any time from your browser, and cloud records from within the app or by emailing us. If you are in the EU or UK you also have rights of access, rectification, erasure, portability and objection, and may complain to your supervisory authority. California residents: we do not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioural advertising.

8. Security

Connections use HTTPS. API keys are held server-side, never in your browser. Uploaded files use short-lived signed URLs. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, which is one reason Chairside keeps your data local by default.

9. Children

Chairside is not directed to children under 13. Users aged 13 to 17 should use Chairside with a parent or guardian’s consent. If you believe a child has provided cloud data, contact us and we will remove it.

10. International use

The optional features above are processed in the United States. Using them from elsewhere transfers that data to the US.

11. Changes

We will post any changes here and update the effective date above. Material changes will be highlighted in the app.

12. Contact

Questions or requests: [email protected].

Terms of Service

The agreement, in plain words.

1. Agreement

By using Chairside you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the platform. You must be at least 13 years old; if you are under 18, use Chairside with a parent or guardian’s consent.

2. The service

Chairside provides health information tools: assessments, nutrition and fitness tracking, lab explanations, medication tracking and a peptide research library. A free tier is available and may include usage limits. Chairside Pro adds capacity and features, as described at checkout.

3. Not medical advice

Chairside is for information and education only. It does not provide diagnosis, treatment or prescriptions, and using it does not create a clinician-patient relationship. Never disregard professional medical advice, or delay seeking it, because of something you read in Chairside. Read the full Medical Disclaimer.

4. Emergencies

Chairside is not for emergencies. If you may be experiencing one, call your local emergency number immediately. In the United States call 911, or call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. The app lists emergency numbers for other countries.

5. AI-generated content

AI answers are generated automatically and can be incomplete, out of date or wrong. Chairside shows the sources behind each answer so you can verify them. You are responsible for decisions you make based on the app.

6. Peptides and supplements

Peptide content is a research summary, not an endorsement or an instruction to use any compound. Regulatory status varies by country, and many compounds are not approved for human use where you live. Buying or possessing some compounds may be restricted. Speak with a licensed clinician before considering any of them.

7. Your content and data

Your entries belong to you. Because Chairside stores them on your device, clearing your browser or losing the device can erase them. Keep your own backups where export options are offered. You are responsible for the accuracy of what you enter.

8. Accounts

Cloud Sync is optional. If you create a sign-in, keep your credentials safe; activity under your account is your responsibility.

9. Subscriptions and billing

Pro is billed through Stripe at the price shown at checkout and renews automatically until cancelled. You can cancel at any time and keep access until the end of the paid period. Where consumer law grants refund rights, those apply; otherwise fees are non-refundable except at our discretion. Taxes may apply.

10. Acceptable use

Do not use Chairside unlawfully; attempt to break, overload, probe or scrape the service; reverse engineer it beyond what law permits; resell its outputs as medical services without an appropriate professional licence; or impersonate others.

11. Intellectual property

The app, its design, text and code belong to Chairside. You receive a personal, non-transferable licence to use it. Cited third-party sources, including the NIH, FDA, PubMed and MedlinePlus, remain the property of their owners, and citation is not endorsement.

12. Third-party services

Stripe, Base44, USDA FoodData Central, FatSecret, content delivery networks and linked websites operate under their own terms and privacy policies.

13. Service provided as is

Chairside is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, including accuracy, availability or fitness for a particular purpose.

14. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Chairside is not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages, and our total liability is capped at the greater of USD 50 or the fees you paid in the previous 12 months. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limits, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

15. Indemnity

You agree to hold Chairside harmless from claims arising out of your misuse of the service or breach of these terms.

16. Changes

We may update the service and these terms. Continued use after changes take effect means you accept them. Material changes will be highlighted in the app.

17. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Iowa, United States, and disputes belong to the courts located in Iowa. If you are a consumer, you keep any protections that the law of your home country makes mandatory.

18. General

If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. These terms are the entire agreement between you and Chairside about the service. You may not assign them; we may assign them as part of a reorganisation or sale.

19. Contact

Questions about these terms: [email protected].

Medical Disclaimer

What Chairside is, and what it is not.

1. Educational purpose

Everything in Chairside, including assessments, trackers, the peptide library and AI answers, is general health information provided for education. It is not medical advice, and it is not tailored to your full medical history.

2. No professional relationship

Using Chairside does not create a doctor-patient or any other professional relationship. Nothing here is a consultation, examination or second opinion.

3. Emergencies

Chest pain, trouble breathing, signs of stroke, severe bleeding, sudden confusion, or thoughts of harming yourself need emergency care now. Call your local emergency number immediately. In the United States call 911, or call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. Chairside lists emergency numbers for other countries inside the assessment tools.

4. Screening is not diagnosis

Instruments used in Chairside, such as the PHQ-9, GAD-7, PCL-5 and the Ottawa Rules, are validated screening aids. A score can suggest that something deserves attention; only a qualified clinician can diagnose you.

5. AI limitations

AI answers are generated from patterns in data. They can be incomplete, out of date or simply wrong, and they can miss things a clinician would catch. Every Chairside result cites its sources, including the NIH, FDA, PubMed and MedlinePlus, so you can check them yourself and bring them to your clinician.

6. Peptides and research compounds

The Peptide Lab summarises published research for education. It is not an endorsement, a recommendation or an instruction to obtain or use any compound. Approval status varies by country, many compounds are not approved for human use, and dosing figures reflect ranges studied in research rather than advice. Talk to a licensed clinician before considering any compound, and confirm what the law where you live allows.

7. Nutrition and fitness

Nutrition targets and training plans are general wellness guidance. Pregnancy, medical conditions, a history of disordered eating, or prescription medication all call for personalised advice from a professional before you change your diet or training.

8. Your responsibility

You use Chairside at your own discretion and risk. When something matters, verify it with a professional. The Terms of Service set out the limits of our liability.

Research-Profiled Peptides — Chemistry & Mechanism

Trusted Sources & Further Reading

All factual content on this page is derived from peer-reviewed studies in PubMed (National Library of Medicine) — the gold standard for biomedical research. For consumer-facing guides that translate this research into plain language, Innerbody Research (innerbody.com) is one of the most rigorously reviewed health editorial sites available, with every peptide article vetted by a Medical Review Board and cross-referenced against 1,000+ research hours per topic.

Why we can't connect directly to Innerbody: Innerbody is an editorial content website — not a database with a public API. Unlike PubMed (which provides a free, open API that we access via the PubMed MCP connector), Innerbody publishes articles for human readers. Scraping or programmatically pulling their content would violate their Terms of Service. Instead, we link directly to their relevant guides below so you can read them yourself.
