I. Terms of Service
Welcome to Auko (auko.us). By using this website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
1. Informational Purpose Only -- Not Medical Advice
All content on Auko is for general informational purposes only. Nothing on this website constitutes medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment recommendations. Auko is not a healthcare provider. No doctor-patient relationship is created by your use of this site.
Always consult a qualified, licensed medical professional before making any decisions about cosmetic surgery, skincare treatments, or any other medical procedure. Do not delay seeking medical advice because of something you read on this website.
2. Pricing and Data Accuracy
Price estimates, comparisons, and other data displayed on Auko are approximate and gathered from publicly available sources. Actual costs vary by clinic, surgeon, procedure complexity, and timing. We make reasonable efforts to keep information current, but we do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of any data on this site.
You should independently verify all pricing and procedural information before making any decisions.
3. External Links and Affiliate Relationships
Auko contains links to third-party websites and services. Some of these are affiliate links, meaning Auko may receive compensation if you engage with those services. This is disclosed on the main page in accordance with FTC guidelines.
We do not control, endorse, or take responsibility for the content, privacy practices, or services of any third-party website. Visiting external links is at your own risk.
4. Your Responsibility
You are solely responsible for your own medical decisions, including the choice of surgeon, clinic, procedure, and travel arrangements. Auko provides informational resources to help you research, but the final decision and all associated risks are yours.
5. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Auko and its operators shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising from your use of this website or reliance on any information provided here. This includes, but is not limited to, damages related to medical outcomes, travel, financial loss, or any decisions made based on information found on this site.
The site is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied.
6. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms of Service at any time. Changes take effect when posted on this page. Your continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. We encourage you to check this page periodically.
7. Governing Law
These terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles.
II. Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains what information Auko collects, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information.
1. Information We Collect
Auko does not collect personal information. There are no user accounts, login forms, email collection forms, or payment processing on this site. We do not ask for your name, email address, phone number, or any health information.
We collect limited, anonymized usage data through the following tools:
- Google Analytics (GA4): Collects anonymized analytics data such as page views, approximate geographic region, device type, browser type, and referral source. Google Analytics uses cookies to distinguish unique visitors. No personally identifiable information is collected through GA4.
- Supabase event tracking: Records anonymized interaction events such as page views, section clicks, calculator usage, and quiz results. These events are associated with a random session ID generated in your browser -- not tied to your identity in any way. No personal information is stored.
2. Cookies
Auko uses only the standard cookies set by Google Analytics (GA4). These cookies help us understand general usage patterns (e.g., which pages are most visited, how long visitors stay). We do not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or any other cookie-based tracking beyond GA4.
3. Third-Party Services
Auko relies on the following third-party services to operate:
- Google Analytics: For anonymized website analytics. Google Privacy Policy
- Supabase: For anonymized event storage. Supabase Privacy Policy
- Netlify: For website hosting. Netlify Privacy Policy
4. Data Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or share any data with third parties. The anonymized analytics data collected is used solely to understand how visitors use the site so we can improve the content and experience.
5. California Privacy Rights (CCPA)
If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information is collected about you and to request its deletion. Because Auko does not collect personal information, there is no personal data to disclose or delete. If this changes in the future, we will update this policy accordingly and provide the required opt-out mechanisms.
6. Children's Privacy
Auko is not directed at individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect any information from children.
7. Changes to This Policy
