Privacy And Consent
Participation in the Cannabis Healthcare Registry is voluntary.
This survey is designed to collect structured information about real-world healthcare experiences. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or emergency support.
What you are agreeing to
By submitting a response, you are agreeing to share the information you choose to enter for registry, research, reporting, and planning purposes.
- symptoms or condition areas
- treatment goals
- cannabis use or non-use
- outcomes
- side effects
- access barriers
- broad location
What participation does not mean
- you are receiving medical care from this platform
- you are enrolling in a clinical trial
- you are guaranteed future contact
- any product or treatment is being recommended to you
Privacy approach
The registry is designed to be more privacy-protective than a typical contact form.
The platform uses a participant ID for the main survey record. If you request future contact, the contact details needed for that follow-up are handled separately from the main response record.
Future contact is optional
You can choose whether you want future contact.
- no future contact
- updates about registry activity or future studies
- active contact if a future study or opportunity may be relevant
If you choose no future contact, you should not need to provide direct contact details for follow-up.
What we may do with responses
- internal reporting
- aggregate summaries
- de-identified analysis
- research planning
- outreach planning related to the registry
The registry should not use sensitive survey responses for advertising targeting.
What we do not promise
- personal medical interpretation
- treatment guidance
- crisis support
- complete anonymity if future contact is requested
Possible risks
- discomfort when answering personal questions
- privacy risk if any data system is compromised
- emotional discomfort when describing difficult experiences
The platform tries to reduce these risks by limiting collection to relevant information and separating optional follow-up details from the core survey record.
Possible benefits
You may or may not receive a direct personal benefit.
- contributing to a better understanding of real-world experience
- helping identify patterns that may otherwise be missed
- supporting better future reporting, research, and planning
Safety reminder
This survey is not an emergency or crisis service.
If someone is facing an urgent medical or safety situation, they should seek appropriate emergency or clinical help rather than rely on this platform.
