HealthBridge Privacy Policy

Effective date: 2025-09-01

Who we are. William Trevor Matthews is a sole proprietorship, based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Contact: info@williamtrevormatthews.com (or use our support page at https://williamtrevormatthews.com/support).

1) Scope

This policy explains how HealthBridge handles information on your device, including Apple Health/HealthKit data, and any information we may process when you contact us for support.

2) What HealthBridge Does

HealthBridge lets you select Apple Health metrics and export them (e.g., CSV, JSON, XML) for your own use. The app reads Health data only after you grant permission and does not writenew Health data to HealthKit.

3) Our Principles for Health Data

• Permission‑based, minimal access. Health data is accessed only after you grant permission in iOS and only for the categories you select.

• No ads or profiling with health data. We do not use health data for advertising, marketing, or profiling/use‑based data mining.

• No cloud storage of PHI by the app. HealthBridge does not store personal health information in iCloud/CloudKit or on our servers.

• User‑controlled exports. Exports are created on‑device and shared only where you choose via the iOS Share Sheet (e.g., Files, iCloud Drive you control, email).
  

4) Data We Collect (outside of HealthKit)

• From the app: HealthBridge is designed to run on‑device and does not send personal data to our servers.

• Third‑party SDKs: None. If we ever add an SDK in the future (for example, analytics or crash reporting), we will update this Privacy Policy and our App Store App Privacy answers beforesubmitting any new version, and we will disclose the SDK's data collection in our app's privacy manifest and Xcode privacy report.

• Diagnostics/Crash logs: If you enable Apple's "Share with App Developers," Apple may provide us aggregated crash information in App Store Connect. We do not receive your Health data through these reports.

• Support communication: If you email us or submit a support request, we receive the info you send (e.g., contact email, message) to respond.
  

5) On‑Device Processing & Storage

• Health data access and processing occur on your iPhone under iOS security and encryption.

• Temporary files: The app may create temporary files to assemble an export. These are removed after export or by the system. [Confirm if any other cache exists]

• Run history (optional): If enabled, the app may store non‑health metadata about previous export settings (e.g., selected metrics/date range) to help you repeat an export.
  

6) Sharing

We do not sell personal data. We share information only when you initiate it (e.g., by exporting/sharing a file) or when required by law.

7) Your Choices & Controls

• Health permissions: Change anytime at Settings ▸ Health ▸ Data Access & Devices.

• Delete local app data: Settings ▸ HealthBridge ▸ Clear Local Data or uninstall the app.

• Remove exports: Delete exported files from the destination you chose (e.g., Files, iCloud Drive, email).
  

8) Children's Privacy

HealthBridge is not directed to children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will assist you.

9) International Transfers

We do not operate backend servers for HealthBridge. Your data remains on‑device unless you choose to export/share it to a destination you control.

10) Changes to this Policy

We will update the Effective Date above and, where appropriate, notify you in‑app or on our website when practices change.
