No central hosting
Health data stays local unless the deployment explicitly uses a local team setup.
Privacy Policy
Local data, minimal exposure.
The policy is simple: data should remain close to the user, only be shared with permission, and never be routed through an unnecessary cloud service.
User-controlled sharing
Patients and providers decide what leaves the local boundary.
Research after care
Aggregation happens only after privacy-preserving transformation.
Data Handling
Health data stays local for current users.
For independent users, patients, and small teams, New Loka is not a hosting service. It is a local or locally distributed application that keeps health data in the user's chosen environment.
Independent users
Records remain on the device or in the user's local storage environment. We do not receive routine copies of that data.
Small clinics and teams
Locally distributed deployments keep data inside the team's own infrastructure and access boundaries.
Future hospital hosting
If hosted services are introduced later, they will be separate, explicit, and governed by dedicated terms.
What We May Process
Data used to make the product work.
Depending on how the app is used, the system may process structured notes, uploaded images, message content, dictation transcripts, and user-entered metadata needed for search and retrieval.
- Source material is preserved so users can review how a record was formed.
- Only the data needed for the active workflow should be surfaced to the current user.
- Any later hosted service would require separate disclosure and consent controls.
Retention and sharing
User-managed retention
Retention should follow the user's or institution's policy, not an opaque central platform rule.
Controlled sharing
Users decide when a record is exported, copied, or handed off into another system.
Research after care
Anonymization and aggregation happen after direct care decisions have been supported.
No surprise hosting
We do not silently migrate user health data into our own servers or services.
