YourPHR

Terms of Service

Last updated: 11 June 2026

YourPHR is free, open-source, self-hosted software. You run it on infrastructure you control, and your health records stay on your own instance. These terms govern your use of the software and of this website (yourphr.org).

The software

YourPHR is a personal/family health-record viewer distributed under the GNU General Public License v3. It is a community-maintained continuation of Fasten OnPrem. Your rights to use, modify, and redistribute the software are defined by the GPL v3; nothing in these terms restricts those rights.

Your records, your responsibility

YourPHR is designed for you to view and organize your own (or your family's) health records on a server you operate. If you self-host YourPHR, you are solely responsible for securing your deployment, controlling access, performing backups, and complying with any laws or regulations that apply to you (for example HIPAA or GDPR, where applicable). The project operates no server that receives your health data.

Connecting to healthcare providers

YourPHR can connect to healthcare providers and patient-access APIs (for example via SMART on FHIR) to import your own records with your authorization. When you connect a provider, that connection is also governed by that provider's own terms, policies, and API agreements. You are responsible for using each provider's API in accordance with its terms and for ensuring you are authorized to access the records you import. YourPHR requests read access to your own records only and does not modify data held by your providers.

Not medical advice

YourPHR is a tool for viewing and organizing health records. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and it is not a substitute for professional medical judgment. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional regarding any medical questions or decisions. Records displayed may be incomplete, delayed, or contain errors originating from the source systems.

No warranty

The software is provided “AS IS”, without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to the warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, as set out in the GPL v3. You use and self-host it at your own risk.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the YourPHR project, its contributors, and maintainers shall not be liable for any damages arising from the use of, or inability to use, the software — including any loss of, or inaccuracy in, health data — as further described in the GPL v3.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by the “Last updated” date above and published at this URL.
