JournalFilter Privacy Policy

Last updated: 16 August 2026

Who we are

Stone & Ripple B.V. (“we”, “us”, “our”) publishes the JournalFilter mobile app for iOS and Android, and the website journalfilter.com. This policy explains how we handle information when you use the JournalFilter app.

Information we collect

JournalFilter is designed so you can use it without creating an account and without sending us personal data.

• No accounts: The app does not require registration or login.
• No personal medical information: We do not collect or store patient data or personal health information.
• On-device preferences only: Filter and sort choices are stored locally on your device so the app can remember them. This data does not leave your device.
• No tracking or advertising: The app does not use advertising identifiers, analytics SDKs, or tracking cookies.

This matches our App Store and Google Play declarations that the app does not collect user data.

How the app works

• Article listings are loaded from journalfilter.com.
• Article metadata comes from public research databases such as PubMed / Europe PMC.
• PDF and full-text links open the publisher’s site or an open-access repository. Those sites have their own privacy policies.

How we use information

Because the app does not collect personal data from you, we do not use, sell, or share user data from the app. Server logs on journalfilter.com may record standard technical details (such as IP address and pages requested) for security and operation of the website. See the website privacy policy for that service.

Data sharing

We do not sell, trade, or transfer personal information from the JournalFilter app to third parties. Information may be disclosed only if required by law.

Security

Connections to JournalFilter services use HTTPS. Preferences stay on your device.

Your rights

Under the GDPR you may request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal data we hold. Because the app does not collect personal data, this mainly applies to website server logs if they exist. Contact us to exercise these rights.

Children

JournalFilter is intended for healthcare professionals and other adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date above will change when we do.
