3. Eligibility and Account Administration
- Age Requirement: You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction) to create an Account or use the Platform. Access by minors is prohibited.
- Account Security: You are responsible for safeguarding your login credentials. You must immediately notify us at [email protected] of any unauthorized access or breach of security. You are solely responsible for all activities conducted under your Account.
- Accuracy of Information: When submitting Medical Information for report generation or interactive chat, you agree to provide truthful, accurate, and current information. Submitting fraudulent, manipulated, or third-party records without legal authority is a material breach of these Terms.
- Single-User Seat Restriction: Each Account and subscription is licensed strictly for one named individual. You may not share your login credentials, transfer account seats, or permit simultaneous access by third parties. Company reserves the right to implement technical concurrency controls, session limits, and verification requirements. Credential sharing or unauthorized multi-user access triggers immediate account suspension without refund.
- Not a Primary Medical Archive (User Backup Responsibility): The Platform is an analytical educational research tool, not an electronic health record (EHR) system, clinical repository, or primary medical archive. You are solely responsible for maintaining and backing up your own original medical files, diagnostic scans, and clinical notes. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Company disclaims all liability for loss, deletion, or corruption of uploaded documents or generated reports.
4. Distinct Service Pillars and Usage Rules
4.1. The Digital Book Reader ("Hacking Cancer")
- Access Tiers: Access to the Book Curriculum is tiered. Introductory and foundational modules are made available to registered free accounts. Advanced modules detailing scientific literature reviews, published metabolic research, and investigative research frameworks require an active paid subscription or one-time premium entitlement.
- Personal License: Subject to continuous compliance with these Terms, Company grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to view the Book Curriculum through the Book Reader for your private educational use.
- Anti-Scraping and Watermarking: The Book Reader includes technical deterrents against bulk extraction. Content displayed to logged-in users contains dynamic, user-specific visual and cryptographic watermarks displaying your email or user identifier. Tampering with, stripping, or obscuring watermarks is strictly prohibited.
- Export Prohibitions: You may not download, scrape, mirror, systematically capture, screenshot for external distribution, or feed any part of the Book Curriculum into machine learning pipelines, large language models, or public repositories.
4.2. The Soraya AI Chatbot
- Artificial Intelligence Disclosure: Pursuant to Article 50 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 (EU AI Act), you are explicitly notified that the Chatbot is an automated artificial intelligence system. You are interacting with software, not a human doctor or healthcare professional.
- Educational Research Scope: The Chatbot retrieves literature, synthesizes scientific publications, and indexes the Book Curriculum. It does not provide medical consultations, diagnoses, or prescriptions.
- Usage Quotas: Chatbot access is subject to rate limiting and fair-use quotas determined by your account tier. Free accounts receive limited introductory messages followed by monthly allowances. Premium accounts receive extended access subject to automated abuse filters.
- Strict Safety Rules: You may not use prompt injection, adversarial prompting, jailbreaking techniques, or system-prompt extraction commands against the Chatbot. Any attempt to compromise backend instructions will result in immediate Account termination.
- Conversation Review and Safety Inspection: Chatbot conversations may be reviewed for quality, safety, and compliance purposes. Wherever practicable, reviews use pseudonymised or anonymised records, access is restricted to authorised personnel, and access is logged. If a review identifies a material safety risk, for example a Chatbot response that could cause physical or psychological harm to a user, Company may re-identify the relevant conversation and contact that user directly to provide safety information or corrective guidance. Re-identification is limited to what is necessary for that purpose and is not used for any other purpose. Chatbot conversation records are deleted after fifteen (15) days.
4.3. The Personalized Research Report
- Bespoke Generation: The Personalized Research Report is generated asynchronously upon your submission of the intake questionnaire and relevant medical files. The processing pipeline parses laboratory reports, applies evidence-tiered scientific literature searches, and compiles a multi-section educational overview.
- No Practice of Medicine: The Personalized Research Report is an automated information retrieval and organizational document. It is not a clinical treatment plan, medical diagnosis, prognosis, or prescription.
- Oncology Consultation Requirement: You agree that you will not implement, start, modify, or discontinue any cancer treatment, pharmaceutical drug, off-label medication, dietary regimen, or nutritional supplement based upon the Personalized Research Report without prior review and written supervision by your qualified oncologist or other qualified healthcare practitioner.
- Third-Party Clinic Whitelist: Reports may reference reputable independent clinics, second-opinion centers, and testing laboratories. Company has no ownership or control over these third parties. Listings do not constitute an endorsement, referral, or guarantee of safety or outcomes.
4.4. Practitioner and Linked Accounts
- Patient-Controlled Linking: Patients may link their Account to a designated Practitioner User. Linking grants the practitioner read-only access to view patient profiles, uploaded files, and generated reports.
- Unlinking Rights: A patient may sever a link to any practitioner at any time via the Account settings, instantly revoking practitioner access to future records.
- Independent Clinical Judgment: Practitioner Users acknowledge that Platform content, reports, and chatbot outputs represent supplementary scientific research summaries only. Full legal and professional responsibility for patient care, diagnosis, and prescription remains exclusively with the practitioner.
4.5. Beta Services and Experimental Features
From time to time, Company may offer early access features, experimental research algorithms, or pilot analytical modules designated as "Beta" or "Experimental". These features are provided "as is" and "as available" for testing and evaluation purposes, without warranties or service level commitments. Company may modify, throttle, or discontinue Beta features at any time without notice or liability.
5. Absolute Medical Disclaimer and Non-Reliance
- NO MEDICAL ADVICE: THE PLATFORM, INCLUDING ALL WRITTEN CONTENT, CHATBOT OUTPUTS, SCIENTIFIC SYNTHESES, AND RESEARCH REPORTS, IS PROVIDED SOLELY FOR INFORMATIONAL, EDUCATIONAL, AND SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH PURPOSES. IT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE MEDICAL ADVICE, CLINICAL DIAGNOSIS, PROGNOSIS, OR MEDICAL TREATMENT.
- NO DOCTOR-PATIENT RELATIONSHIP: USE OF THE PLATFORM DOES NOT CREATE A DOCTOR-PATIENT, CONFIDENTIAL HEALTHCARE, OR FIDUCIARY RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN YOU AND PATIENT LED HEALTH LIMITED OR ANY OF ITS DIRECTORS, RESEARCHERS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS.
- NO EMERGENCY USE: THE PLATFORM IS NOT AN EMERGENCY RESPONSE SYSTEM. IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING A MEDICAL EMERGENCY, SEVERE SYMPTOMS, AN ADVERSE DRUG REACTION, OR ACUTE PAIN, CALL YOUR LOCAL EMERGENCY SERVICES IMMEDIATELY (112 IN EUROPE, 999 IN THE UNITED KINGDOM, 911 IN THE UNITED STATES) OR GO TO THE NEAREST HOSPITAL EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT.
- EXPERIMENTAL AND OFF-LABEL DATA: THE PLATFORM MAY DISCUSS PRECLINICAL (ANIMAL OR CELL-LINE) STUDIES, EARLY-STAGE CLINICAL TRIALS, OR OFF-LABEL USES OF PHARMACEUTICAL DRUGS. OFF-LABEL USAGE CARRIES DOCUMENTED RISKS OF TOXICITY, CONTRAINDICATION, AND THERAPEUTIC FAILURE. YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND ACCEPT THESE INHERENT SCIENTIFIC UNCERTAINTIES.
6. Financial Terms, Pricing, and Payments
- Payment Processing: All payments on the Platform are processed through Stripe Inc., a third-party PCI-DSS compliant payment gateway. Company does not store, process, or view full credit or debit card numbers.

4. How We Use and Process Your Health Data
- Analytical Parsing: Uploaded laboratory reports and doctor notes are parsed using automated document extraction models to extract quantitative lab markers, histological staging, and genetic mutations.
- Multi-Agent Synthesis: Our backend invokes partitioned analytical tasks using Google Cloud Vertex AI (Gemini models) and Google Cloud Discovery Engine data stores. The pipeline correlates your biomarkers against peer-reviewed literature, clinical trial databases, and published study registries.
- No Automated Clinical Decision-Making: Our pipeline produces an educational research synthesis. It does not perform autonomous diagnosis, clinical triage, or automated prescribing under GDPR Article 22.
- Strict AI Non-Training Guarantee (Google Cloud Standards): In full alignment with Google Cloud enterprise commitments for Vertex AI and Discovery Engine, your uploaded medical files, questionnaire entries, biomarker extractions, Chatbot queries, and generated research reports are processed in isolated enterprise tenant environments. Under no circumstances is Customer Data, Medical Information, or output data used by Company, Google Cloud, or any third party to train, retrain, fine-tune, evaluate, or benchmark commercial foundation models, public large language models (LLMs), or commercial AI algorithms.
- Conversation Review and Safety Inspection: Chatbot conversations may be reviewed for quality, safety, and compliance. Reviews use pseudonymised or anonymised records wherever practicable, access is restricted to authorised personnel and logged, and no review is used to train AI models (see item 4). If a review identifies a material safety risk, for example a Chatbot response that could cause harm to a user, Company may re-identify the relevant conversation and contact that user to provide safety information or corrective guidance. Quality and safety review relies on legitimate interests (GDPR Article 6(1)(f)). Where contacting the user is necessary to protect their life or health, vital interests apply (GDPR Articles 6(1)(d) and 9(2)(c)). Re-identification is limited to what is necessary for that purpose. Chatbot conversation records are deleted after fifteen (15) days.

5.1. International Data Transfers and Corporate Relocation
While Patient Led Health Limited is incorporated in Hong Kong, our primary cloud processing infrastructure for European users is deployed within the European Union (Google Cloud eu multi-region and Frankfurt europe-west3 data centers) in accordance with our data residency architecture.
Where data is accessed from or transferred to jurisdictions outside the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, transfers are protected by Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission, UK International Data Transfer Agreements (IDTAs), or applicable adequacy decisions. In the event that Patient Led Health Limited assigns operations or relocates its primary corporate jurisdiction to another international jurisdiction (such as Singapore, the European Union, the United Kingdom, or the United Arab Emirates), all personal data transfers will continue to be governed by valid Standard Contractual Clauses, maintaining strict GDPR and UK GDPR data protection standards.
6. Technical Security and Data Protection Safeguards
We implement defense-in-depth technical and organizational measures to protect health data:
1. Encryption in Transit: All traffic between your browser and our servers is encrypted using Transport Layer Security (TLS 1.3).
2. Encryption at Rest: Uploaded medical files stored in Google Cloud Storage and patient records in Firestore are encrypted at rest using AES-256 encryption.
3. Time-Limited Signed URLs: When you or your linked practitioner access uploaded medical files, the Platform generates time-limited cryptographically signed URLs that expire after 900 seconds (15 minutes). Unauthenticated public URLs do not exist.
4. Strict Access Controls: Backend microservices communicate over private cloud VPC networks using service-to-service service accounts with least-privilege identity and access management (IAM) policies.
5. Session Watermarking: Reading sessions on the digital book reader display subtle per-user visual identifiers to deter unauthorized dissemination.
7. Data Retention and Automatic Purging
We retain your personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected:
- Active Accounts: User profiles, reading progress, and uploaded medical files remain accessible while your Account remains active.
- Generated Reports: Final Personalized Research Reports are retained in your encrypted document repository so you can download or review them during your subscription.
- Inactive Accounts: If an account exhibits no login activity for two (2) continuous years, we will issue email notifications prior to permanently archiving or purging associated health records.
- Chatbot Conversations: Chatbot conversation records are deleted after fifteen (15) days.
- Accounting Records: Transaction and payment histories are retained for seven (7) years to comply with statutory taxation and corporate auditing requirements in Hong Kong and relevant consumer jurisdictions.
8. Your Statutory Rights as a Data Subject
Under GDPR, UK GDPR, and Hong Kong PDPO, you possess comprehensive rights regarding your personal data:
- Right of Access (GDPR Article 15): You have the right to obtain confirmation as to whether your personal data is being processed, and to receive a complete export of that data. You can execute this right immediately at any time by calling our automated export endpoint via your account dashboard or calling GET /me/data-export, which outputs your complete profile, file inventory, chat history, and linked accounts in machine-readable JSON format.
- Right to Erasure / Right to be Forgotten (GDPR Article 17): You have the right to request the permanent deletion of your personal data. You can execute this right directly by clicking "Delete Account" in your profile or invoking the DELETE /me/account endpoint. This triggers an irreversible, cascading deletion that purges your Firestore records, removes uploaded medical files from storage buckets, deletes chat histories, and unlinks connected practitioners.
- Right to Rectification (GDPR Article 16): You have the right to correct inaccurate or incomplete profile data directly through your dashboard.

Medical and Research Disclaimer
Effective Date: 23 October 2026
Last Updated: 23 October 2026
Operating Entity: Patient Led Health Limited
Platform: soraya.health / Hacking Cancer
IMPORTANT: READ THIS MEDICAL AND RESEARCH DISCLAIMER CAREFULLY BEFORE ACCESSING THE PLATFORM, READING THE "HACKING CANCER" BOOK, ENGAGING WITH THE SORAYA AI CHATBOT, OR GENERATING A PERSONALIZED RESEARCH REPORT. BY USING ANY PART OF THE PLATFORM, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE TO ALL PROVISIONS CONTAINED HEREIN.
1. Educational and Scientific Research Purpose Only
The website soraya.health, the "Hacking Cancer" curriculum and digital reader, the Soraya AI conversational assistant, and the Personalized Research Report (collectively, the "Platform") are developed and operated by Patient Led Health Limited solely for informational, educational, and scientific research purposes.
The Platform provides an automated research, coaching, and health-navigation reference. It compiles, indexes, and synthesizes publicly available peer-reviewed oncology literature, published clinical trial data, biological pathway mechanisms, and empirical patient methodologies.
NOTHING CONTAINED ON THE PLATFORM OR PRODUCED BY OUR SOFTWARE CONSTITUTES MEDICAL ADVICE, CLINICAL DIAGNOSIS, PROGNOSIS, OR INDIVIDUALIZED TREATMENT RECOMMENDATIONS.
2. No Doctor-Patient Relationship
Patient Led Health Limited is a research, consultancy, and technology publisher, not a licensed medical clinic, hospital, or healthcare provider.
Neither your access to the Website, your interactions with the automated Chatbot, nor your receipt of a Personalized Research Report creates a doctor-patient, nurse-patient, clinical psychologist, or other regulated healthcare professional relationship between you and Patient Led Health Limited, its directors, developers, researchers, or agents.
3. Mandatory Requirement for Oncology Consultation
CANCER IS A COMPLEX, LIFE-THREATENING DISEASE REQUIRING EXPERT ONCOLOGICAL SUPERVISION.
You must never use information obtained from the Platform to self-diagnose, self-treat, or modify your medical care.
Prior to adopting, altering, starting, or discontinuing any:
- Conventional standard of care therapy (chemotherapy, radiation therapy, surgery, hormonal therapy, immunotherapy);
- Targeted therapy or tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI);
- Repurposed or off-label pharmaceutical medication;
- High-dose intravenous therapy (such as intravenous Vitamin C);
- Dietary modification, ketogenic regimen, or fasting schedule;
- Botanical extract, nutraceutical, or dietary supplement;
YOU MUST FIRST PRESENT AND DISCUSS THE SCIENTIFIC STUDIES AND LITERATURE CITATIONS DIRECTLY WITH YOUR BOARD-CERTIFIED ONCOLOGIST OR OTHER QUALIFIED HEALTHCARE PRACTITIONER AND TREATING MEDICAL TEAM. Only your treating physician can evaluate potential drug-drug interactions, contraindications, organ function tolerances (renal, hepatic, cardiac), and personalized safety profiles.
4. Artificial Intelligence Generation and Scientific Limitations
The Soraya AI Chatbot and the Personalized Research Report use advanced artificial intelligence models (including Google Vertex AI and retrieval-augmented generation search pipelines). You must understand the inherent limitations of AI-assisted scientific synthesis:
- Analytical Synthesis, Not Clinical Verification: AI models analyze patterns across medical literature and summarize correlations. They do not possess clinical intuition, cannot examine the physical body, and cannot replace a multidisciplinary tumor board review.
- Rapid Evolution of Literature: Oncology research progresses rapidly. Clinical trials, safety advisories, and drug approvals change continuously. While our pipelines search current medical databases, we do not warrant that all citations represent the newest or universally accepted consensus.
- Evidence Tiers and Preclinical Caution: The Platform clearly differentiates between tiers of scientific evidence:
- Tier 1: Human randomized controlled trials (RCTs), systematic reviews, and meta-analyses;
- Tier 2: Prospective and retrospective observational human cohort studies;
- Tier 3: Case reports, case series, and pilot feasibility studies;
- Tier 4: In vivo animal models (mice, rats) and in vitro cell line experiments.
Evidence categorized as Tier 4 reflects laboratory findings only. Biological activity in a petri dish or mouse model often fails to replicate in human patients or can produce unexpected toxicities. Never treat preclinical data as clinical proof of efficacy.
5. Off-Label Medications and Drug Repurposing Risks
Certain sections of the Book, Chatbot responses, and Personalized Research Reports discuss pharmaceutical compounds used outside their authorized regulatory indications (off-label drug use, such as metformin, mebendazole, itraconazole, or atorvastatin in oncology settings).
- Regulatory Status: Off-label uses discussed on the Platform have not necessarily been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), European Medicines Agency (EMA), United Kingdom MHRA, or other regulatory authorities for your specific tumor type.
- Interaction and Toxicity Risks: Combining repurposed pharmaceuticals with standard chemotherapy or targeted drugs carries significant risks of cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzyme inhibition or induction, liver toxicity, QT prolongation, myelosuppression, and altered chemotherapy clearance.
- Prescription Legality: Only a licensed medical practitioner possessing prescribing authority in your jurisdiction can legally evaluate and prescribe off-label pharmaceuticals.
6. Medical Emergencies
THE PLATFORM IS NOT DESIGNED, INTENDED, OR SUITABLE FOR MANAGING ACUTE SYMPTOMS OR MEDICAL EMERGENCIES.
If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms:
- Fever of 38.0 C (100.4 F) or higher while receiving chemotherapy (neutropenic fever);
- Severe shortness of breath, acute chest pain, or rapid heartbeat;
- Sudden weakness, numbness, speech difficulties, or confusion;
- Persistent vomiting, severe diarrhea, or inability to keep fluids down;
- Uncontrolled bleeding or sudden severe pain;
CALL YOUR LOCAL EMERGENCY SERVICES IMMEDIATELY:
- Dial 112 in the European Union and European Economic Area;
- Dial 999 in the United Kingdom;
- Dial 911 in the United States and Canada;
- Or proceed directly to the nearest hospital emergency room.
Do not submit queries regarding emergency symptoms to the Chatbot or wait for report generation.
7. Third-Party Clinics, Labs, and Providers
Reports or educational modules may reference third-party medical clinics, integrative oncology centers, specialty testing laboratories (such as RGCC, Guardant Health, Foundation Medicine), or diagnostic facilities.
- Independent Third Parties: These providers operate independently from Patient Led Health Limited. We do not own, manage, supervise, or employ personnel at these facilities.
- No Guarantee of Outcome: Mention of any provider does not constitute a recommendation, endorsement, warranty, or guarantee regarding the safety, legality, efficacy, or cost of their medical procedures.
- Due Diligence: You and your family are solely responsible for conducting independent background checks, verifying medical licensing, and assessing clinical credentials before engaging any clinic or undergoing any procedure.
8. Summary of Patient Responsibility
By accessing soraya.health and using its tools, you agree that:
1. You are an informed, adult healthcare consumer seeking educational research.
2. You retain complete personal autonomy and responsibility for all health choices you make.
3. You will not discontinue or postpone prescribed oncological therapies based upon materials accessed on the Platform.
4. You release Patient Led Health Limited from any liability regarding decisions made or actions taken based on content provided through the Platform.
