Privacy Policy

This app ("CareU: Family Health Journal") helps users record and manage personal and family health data for personal reference only.

Information We Collect

All health data (such as body temperature, blood pressure, and personal notes) is entered by the user and stored solely on their own device. We, as the developer, do not collect, access, or process any health data you enter.

We use Google Firebase Analytics to collect anonymous, non-identifiable usage data (such as which features are used and how frequently). This data contains no personal information and no health data, and is used solely to improve the app experience.

How We Use Information

Your health data is used solely by you for displaying and managing your personal health records within the app. The developer has no access to this data at any time. Anonymous analytics data is used only to understand overall app usage patterns.

Data Storage

Your health data is stored locally on your device using Apple's SwiftData framework. If you are signed into iCloud, your data is synced privately through your own Apple iCloud account via CloudKit. The developer cannot access, view, or retrieve your health data at any time.

Analytics

This app uses Google Firebase Analytics to collect anonymous usage statistics. Firebase Analytics uses a device-level identifier (not linked to your identity) to distinguish unique users. No health data, names, or personally identifiable information is ever sent to Firebase. You can learn more about how Google handles this data at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or share your personal or health data with any third parties. Anonymous analytics data is processed by Google Firebase in accordance with Google's privacy policy.
