Privacy Policy — ElderGuard Companion

Last updated: July 9, 2026


ElderGuard Companion ("the app") is a daily-reminder and routine companion designed for seniors and their families. We take privacy seriously and collect as little data as possible.


Data we collect

Name and email address — entered once during setup. These are stored on your device and also sent to the app developer (recorded in a private spreadsheet) so we can know who is using the app and contact you about important updates. They are never sold or shared with third parties.

Data that stays on your device only

Senior profile details (name, age, photo, phone, notes)

Reminders, schedules and completion history

Daily routines and completion history

Mood and energy check-ins

Emergency contact details

This information is stored locally in the app's private storage and is not transmitted anywhere. Uninstalling the app, or using "Clear all data" in Settings, permanently deletes it.


Location

If you grant location permission, your device's last-known location is used only when you press the SOS button, to include a map link in the emergency SMS sent to your chosen contact. Location is never collected in the background, stored, or sent to us.


Camera, microphone & photos

The camera is used only to photograph labels (the label is read on your device by on-device text recognition; images never leave your phone). The microphone is used only for voice input of reminder names. Photos you pick are used only as profile/reminder pictures on your device.


Notifications & alarms

The app schedules local notifications and (optionally) Clock-app alarms on your device to remind you about your reminders. No reminder data leaves the device.


Optional family sync

If the family-sync feature is enabled in a future version, activity logs would be shared only with family members who hold your private family code. In the current version, sync is disabled by default and the app works fully offline.


Children

The app is intended for adults and seniors. It is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect data from them.


Data deletion

To delete on-device data, use Settings → Clear all data, or uninstall the app. To request deletion of your name and email from our records, contact us at the address below and we will remove it within 30 days.
