Disclaimer & Terms of Use

Intended Audience

Perinatology.com contains material intended for different audiences.

• Clinical reference content, including calculators, reference ranges, drug information, and professional educational material, is primarily intended for physicians, sonographers, genetic counselors, nurses, and other qualified healthcare professionals.
• Patient education material is intended to help patients and families better understand pregnancy-related conditions, ultrasound findings, screening and diagnostic tests, and other topics they may discuss with their healthcare professionals.

Patient education pages are for general education only. They are not intended to diagnose a condition, recommend treatment for a specific person, or replace a discussion with the patient's own physician or other qualified healthcare professional.

No Medical Advice or Professional Relationship

The information provided on Perinatology.com is for educational and informational purposes. Use of this website does not create a physician-patient relationship, clinician-patient relationship, or other professional relationship with Perinatology.com, Focus Information Technology, or any author or contributor to the site.

If you are a patient, contact your own healthcare professional with questions about your pregnancy, diagnosis, test results, medications, or treatment. If you believe you may have a medical emergency, contact your local emergency services or seek immediate medical care.

Clinical Use

Healthcare professionals must use independent professional judgment when applying information from this website. Clinical decisions should take into account the individual patient, current professional guidelines, original source material, history, examination findings, laboratory data, imaging, medications, and other relevant clinical information.

Calculators, algorithms, tables, reference ranges, and other clinical tools on this website are intended to assist with education and clinical reference. Results should be independently verified before they are used for patient care. A calculated result should never be used as the sole basis for diagnosis, treatment, timing of delivery, medication dosing, or another clinical decision.

Accuracy, Currency, and Limitations

Reasonable efforts are made to provide useful and accurate information. However, medicine changes continuously, and errors, omissions, differences among professional guidelines, or delays in updating material may occur.

Perinatology.com does not warrant that all information is complete, error-free, current, or applicable to every clinical situation. Users are responsible for reviewing current guidelines and, when appropriate, the original publications or other authoritative sources before relying on information clinically.

Medication and Drug Information

Drug information on this website is educational and does not replace the prescribing information approved for a medication, current drug references, consultation with a pharmacist, or individualized assessment of benefits and risks. Medication recommendations may change as new evidence and regulatory information become available.

External Links

Links to external websites are provided for convenience and reference. Perinatology.com does not control external websites and is not responsible for their content, availability, security, privacy practices, or subsequent changes. A link does not necessarily constitute endorsement of the linked organization, product, service, or opinion.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Perinatology.com, Focus Information Technology, and persons or organizations involved in preparing or publishing this website are not liable for losses, injuries, damages, or claims arising from use of, inability to use, or reliance on information, calculators, results, links, or other material provided on this website.

Users assume responsibility for how information from the site is interpreted and applied. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

Copyright & Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise stated, original content on Perinatology.com is protected by copyright and may not be reproduced, republished, distributed, or adapted without authorization. Certain tables, figures, images, publications, or other materials may be used under license, permission, or terms specified by their respective copyright owners. Those materials remain subject to the rights and restrictions identified with the material.

Changes to the Website or Terms

Content, features, and these terms may be changed as the website evolves. The date at the top of this page identifies the most recent revision. Continued use of the website after a revision constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

If you do not agree with these terms, please do not use the website.

Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes information that may be processed when a person visits Perinatology.com. It applies to the public Perinatology.com website and should not be interpreted as a notice of privacy practices for a physician office, hospital, health plan, or other healthcare organization.

Do Not Submit Identifiable Patient Information

Perinatology.com is not intended to receive or store medical records or other directly identifiable patient information through the public website. Users should not submit patient names, medical record numbers, addresses, Social Security numbers, or other information that directly identifies a patient through calculators, general website forms, or email.

Clinical calculators and educational tools should be used with the minimum information necessary to perform the calculation or educational task. Healthcare professionals remain responsible for complying with privacy and security requirements that apply to their own organizations and clinical workflows.

Information You Voluntarily Provide

Perinatology.com does not require a user account for ordinary access to its public educational content. If you voluntarily contact us by email or another available contact method, we may receive your email address and any information you choose to include. That information may be used to respond to your inquiry and for reasonable administrative or security purposes.

Please do not send confidential medical information or identifiable patient information by ordinary email.

Server Logs and Technical Information

Like most websites, the web server and security systems may automatically process technical information associated with a visit, which may include:

• Internet Protocol (IP) address
• Browser type and version
• Device or operating-system information
• Date and time of requests

Cookies, Local Storage, Analytics, and Third-Party Services

Perinatology.com pages may use browser storage, cookies, or similar technologies when needed for website functionality. Some pages may also load resources or services provided by third parties. Third-party services may process technical information according to their own privacy policies.

Privacy practices should be reviewed whenever analytics, advertising, embedded media, social-media tools, or other third-party tracking technologies are added or changed. This Privacy Policy will be updated when material changes to data practices occur.

Clinical Calculator Data

Users should not assume that information entered into a web page is appropriate for storage as part of a medical record. Do not enter information that directly identifies a patient unless a particular service expressly states that it is designed to receive such information and provides appropriate privacy and security information.

Sale or Sharing of Personal Information

Perinatology.com does not intentionally sell personal information submitted directly to the website. If website technologies or business practices change in a way that creates additional privacy rights or disclosure obligations under applicable law, this policy and any required privacy controls or notices will be updated accordingly.

External Websites

Perinatology.com contains links to external websites. Once you leave Perinatology.com, the privacy and security practices of the external website apply. Perinatology.com is not responsible for those practices.

Data Security

Reasonable administrative and technical measures may be used to support website security. No website or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Users should therefore avoid transmitting confidential, sensitive, or directly identifiable patient information through the public website.

Children's Privacy

Perinatology.com is not directed to children as an online service. Patient education materials may discuss pregnancy and fetal health, but the website does not intentionally request personal information from children through ordinary public access.

Privacy Policy Changes
