How We Use Your Information

Your health data is used exclusively on your device for the following purposes:

• Displaying your blood pressure trends and history

• Allowing data import from backup files

Your data is NOT:

Data Storage and Security

All your blood pressure data is stored locally on your Android device using AsyncStorage, a secure local storage mechanism provided by React Native.

Security Measures

• Local storage encryption: Your data benefits from Android system-level encryption
• No network transmission: The app does not connect to the internet or transmit any health data
• No third-party access: No analytics services, advertising networks, or external APIs have access to your health information
• Device security: Your data security depends on your device's security (screen lock, encryption, etc.)

Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not share your data with anyone. Period.

Your health information:

• Remains on your device at all times
• Is never transmitted to our servers (we don't have servers)

Data Retention

Your blood pressure data is retained on your device:

• Until you manually delete it through the app
