A simple site should have a simple data story.

Current site features

The current version does not require an account and does not include a newsletter, contact form, payment flow, paid service, advertising network or user profile.

Website analytics

USMLE Guide uses privacy-focused, aggregate website analytics to understand overall traffic, page popularity, referral sources, broad visitor regions and website performance. This helps us understand where the resource is useful and which guides are helping visitors most.

The analytics used by the site are not intended for advertising, personalised marketing or building individual visitor profiles, and do not rely on analytics cookies or browser storage.

General contact email

If you email contact@usmleguide.com, your email address, message, attachments and related delivery metadata are processed by the email service and may be retained as needed to respond, address corrections or manage the site. Do not send patient information, passwords, confidential application materials or other sensitive information.

Study planner

The study planner calculates the result in your browser. The planner interface does not submit the exam, target date, weekly hours or study days to a USMLE Guide database.

Technical information

The hosting and security infrastructure may process standard request data such as IP address, browser type, requested page, time, referrer and diagnostic or security logs. This information may be needed to deliver, protect and troubleshoot the site.

External links

Links to official organizations and other sites are governed by those services’ privacy practices. Review their policies before submitting personal, educational, identity, application, payment or health information.

Future changes

If accounts, forms, email subscriptions, advertising or other tracking technologies are added, this page should be updated before or when those features launch and any required consent controls should be implemented.
