What information are you logging? IP addresses and responses?

What is your data retention policy? Privacy policy? Who will you be sharing the information you collect with?

What if you tell someone they have low odds of death, and then they take more risks as a result of what you told them? If they were to end up dying of COVID-19 because they are induced to take more risks, do you think you will have exposed yourself to any legal liability?

I don't log or store anything, except for what is logged by Google Analytics.

If that were the case, publishing any actuarial tables should lead to legal liability (and it definitely doesn't, at least where I am from).

Induced? If that's the case, so much for being personally responsible these days.
Do you always live in fear?
