Data safety

Every prompt is structured so you never need to input unpublished, confidential, or proprietary data. Tools marked 🔒 carry elevated data-sensitivity risk and include inline guidance.

Never input into any public AI tool:

• Unpublished clinical trial data

• Patient-level or identifiable data

• Proprietary compound information or IP

• Data under NDA or confidentiality agreement

• Pre-decisional regulatory documents

Always comply with ICMJE, GPP4, and your organization's AI use policies.
