FamilyCare Hub - Legal Charter & Consent Model

Last updated: 07 October 2025

This page explains our consent model in plain language.

It is guidance only and not legal advice.

At FamilyCare Hub, consent means control over how personal information — especially health-related data — is used, shared, and stored.

Consent in our system is:

• Informed – Clear explanations are provided before any data is collected.
• Granular – You can enable or disable specific features: Medications, Wellness Tracking, Notes.
• Opt-in only – We never pre-check boxes or assume permission.
• Revocable at any time – You can change your mind at any time.
• Auditable – Every action is logged with a timestamp.

FamilyCare Hub supports both direct and proxy consent.

• When the Care Circle is created, the Owner may confirm consent on behalf of the care recipient if they are a lawful proxy.
• Everyone else must opt in personally.

Consent isn't permanent. Anyone can withdraw consent at any time from the Consent Settings page.

Two types of revocation exist:

• Self-revocation – The Care Circle Owner (who is the Care Recipient) disables access on their own behalf.
• Proxy revocation – The Care Circle Owner (or lawful proxy) disables access on another user's behalf.

When consent is revoked:

• Access is immediately blocked.
• Timestamp and optional reason are recorded.
• Proxy-based revocations are logged as such.

Data is only accessible when: (1) the Care Circle has globally enabled a module, and (2) the user has permission for that module. This dual gating applies to Medications, Wellness, and Notes. If either flag is false, both UI and backend access are denied.
