Your privacy is protected

Privacy & Safety

After Rounds exists because healthcare workers need a safe space to share honest information. Privacy isn't a feature - it's the foundation of everything we build.

Our Privacy Commitments

Anonymous by Default

You never have to use your real name. Your identity is never displayed to other users, and we never require identifying information to participate.

No Employer Access

Hospitals, agencies, and employers cannot access the platform. They cannot create accounts, view data, or identify individuals. Period.

Aggregated Data Only

Individual responses are never shown publicly. We only display patterns and aggregated insights. Your specific contribution is never identifiable.

Zero Tolerance for Doxxing

Any attempt to identify individuals - whether workers, managers, or others - results in immediate and permanent ban. We actively monitor for this.

What We Collect

Account Information

  • Email address - Used only for account access and essential communications. Never shared.
  • Role and experience - General category (e.g., "ICU Nurse, 5-10 years"). Used to verify healthcare worker status.
  • License state - Optionally collected for verification. License numbers are hashed immediately.

Content You Share

  • Unit reviews - Pay ranges, ratings, and comments about hospitals and units.
  • Posts and comments - Contributions to discussions, which are anonymous by default.

Technical Data

  • IP addresses - Hashed for rate limiting and abuse prevention. We don't store raw IPs.
  • Usage analytics - Aggregated, anonymous metrics to improve the product.
