🔒 Data Privacy & Patient Information

OpenSource: Cardiology uses a commercial AI API (Anthropic's Claude) to assist with metadata extraction, copyediting, and reviewer matching. Per Anthropic's commercial API terms, your manuscript content is not used to train AI models and is not retained beyond the immediate processing request.

However: please ensure your manuscript contains no patient PHI — including names, MRNs, dates of birth, identifying photographs, or any other information that could identify an individual patient — before uploading. Data should be de-identified per HIPAA Safe Harbor or institutional standards.
