PRIVACY POLICY
Blood Sugar Care: BP Monitor App
[Last Amended: March 26, 2025]
Welcome to the Blood Sugar, Diabetes Tracke App
We’re here to help you manage your health, and we take your privacy seriously. This simple guide explains how we handle your information when you use our app. By using the app, you’re agreeing to the practices described below.
Your Privacy Matters
We use industry-standard security measures to protect your data. While no system is 100% foolproof, we’re committed to keeping your information safe.
Privacy at a Glance: What We Know & What We Don’t
Your Health Data: Your Secret, Our Safe-keeper
What’s on your device, stays on your device: Weight, height, cycles, or any other health stats you add? It’s all local—like a diary, but digital.
No sneaky uploads: We don’t peek or send this data anywhere. You’ll see a friendly heads-up the first time you open the app.
Tech Talk: The Nitty-Gritty We Need to Keep Things Running
Device Detective Mode: We log basic details (IP, phone model, OS) to troubleshoot bugs—think of it as a mechanic checking your car’s engine.
Usage Patterns: We track which features you love (or ignore) and how long you spend there. Helps us decide: Should we add more blood sugar charts or a fancy new graph?
Device ID: A unique “name tag” for your phone. We use it to solve crashes, not to stalk you.
Your Data, Your Rules
No selling. No sharing. Your info isn’t a product—we’re not in the data-dealing biz.
Legal stuff: If a court orders us to share something, we’ll have no choice. But that’s a last resort.
Your Data: How We Put It to Work for You
1) Making the App Work for You
Ever wonder how your app remembers your settings or sends those timely reminders? That’s us using your data to keep things smooth and functional.
2) Tailoring Your Experience
We use your preferences and habits (like which features you love most) to tweak and personalize your app journey—think of it as your digital butler.
3) Health on Track
Your health metrics (blood pressure, sugar levels) help us send those gentle nudges for check-ins. We’re like your friendly health coach, but in app form.
4) Making It Better
We analyze how folks use the app to squash bugs, add cool new features, and ensure everything’s shipshape. Your feedback? Pure gold.
5) Keeping You in the Loop
We’ll ping you with updates, tips, or policy changes—no spam, just stuff that matters. Think of it as a newsletter, but way shorter.
The Bottom Line
We use your data to make the app better, safer, and more personalized. No shady stuff—just straightforward improvements.
App Permissions: Your Ultimate Guide to What We Need & Why
Think of Us as Your App’s Tool-belt
We need a few “tools” to keep everything running smoothly. Here’s the lowdown:
Network Check (ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE)
What it does: Peeks at your network to see if you’re online and what kind of connection you’ve got (Wi-Fi, mobile data, etc.).
Why: So the app knows when to fetch updates or send reminders without breaking a sweat.
Internet Access (INTERNET)
What it does: Lets the app hop online for real-time updates and analytics.
Why: Keeps your data fresh and helps us fix bugs faster.
Alarm Master (SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM & USE_EXACT_ALARM)
What it does: Sets super-precise alarms that work even when your phone’s in power-saving mode.
Why: Ensures those “time to check your BP!” reminders hit right on the dot.
Power Saver (WAKE_LOCK)
What it does: Keeps your phone’s brain (CPU) awake when the screen’s off.
Why: So notifications and alarms don’t snooze when you need them most.
Boot Buddy (QUICKBOOT_POWERON & RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED)
What it does: Reboots reminders and alarms after your phone restarts.
Why: Your health tracking shouldn’t hit a reset button with your device.
Notification Ninja (POST_NOTIFICATIONS)
What it does: Sends timely pings for health check-ins or updates.
Why: Keeps you on track without being a nag.
Camera Access (CAMERA)
What it does: Lets you snap photos or record videos if needed (e.g., tracking physical changes).
Why: Because sometimes a picture is worth a thousand health notes.
Vibrate Vibes (VIBRATE)
What it does: Makes your phone buzz for reminders or alarms.
Why: A gentle “hey, don’t forget!” nudge when sounds aren’t ideal.
Setting Alarms (SET_ALARM)
What it does: Lets you sync app reminders with your phone’s alarm clock.
Why: For those who prefer their reminders front and center.
Why All These Permissions?
We’re all about reliability. These tools ensure your health tracking stays consistent, even when your phones in low-power mode, restarted, or just being a phone.
Data Sharing: When and Why We Share
Third-Party Helpers
We’ve got some trusted “digital sidekicks” that help us keep the app running smoothly. These folks might assist with things like sending notifications or analyzing how the app is used. But here’s the deal:
They’re sworn to secrecy: Your data’s like a secret—they can’t share or use it for anything else.
They work for us, not themselves: Their job is to help us help you. No funny business allowed.
Legal Stuff (aka “We Have to Do This” Moments)
There are rare times when we might have to share your info:
Courts or cops ask nicely (and legally): If a valid request comes in from authorities, we might have to comply.
Protecting our corner of the internet: If someone’s trying to mess with our service or break the law, we’ll step in to protect our users and our app.
Your Data, Your Shield
We don’t sell, trade, or toss your info around casually. These are the only situations where sharing happens—and we keep it to a minimum.
Your Data’s Life Story (In a Nutshell)
1) When You Install the App
Your health data gets a cozy spot on your device—like a digital journal that stays right there in your pocket.
2) When You Uninstall the App
Poof! Your data goes with it. Everything you added (blood sugar, BP, reminders) gets deleted from your device. No traces, no backups—gone for good.
3) What We Don’t Do
No secret servers: Your data doesn’t live on our computers or any external servers. It’s your data, your device.
No hidden copies: We don’t stash your info anywhere else. What happens on your phone, stays on your phone.
4) Your Control
Want to delete your data before uninstalling? Just clear the app’s storage in your phone settings. Boom—fresh start!
5) Simple Version
“Install = Data lives on your device. Uninstall = Data disappears. We don’t keep it. Period.”
Your Data, Your Superpowers: Know Your Rights!
1) “Show Me My Data!” Right to Access
Ever feel like peeking into your digital filing cabinet? You can! Just ask, and we’ll send over a copy of the health data you’ve stored in the app. Think of it as your digital “show of hands.”
2) “Oops, Fix That!” Right to Correction
Mistyped your weight or forgot to update a reading? No worries! You can request changes to any info that’s off. We’re here to correct those little hiccups.
3) “Make It Disappear!” Right to Deletion
Want a fresh start? You can ask us to wipe your data from our records (if needed). Just a heads-up: Some data might stick around if the law says we have to keep it, but we’ll keep that to a minimum.
How to Flex Your Rights
Ready to exercise your data superpowers? Just drop us a line at [Your Email Here]. We’ll guide you through the process—no capes required (though we won’t judge if you wear one).
Pro Tip
Most of your data lives on your device, so you can delete it anytime by clearing the app’s storage in your phone settings. Boom—instant clean slate!
Children’s Privacy: Our Promise to Young Ones
1) Our Stance
Our app is designed for adults managing their health. We’re not set up for kids under 16, and we don’t knowingly collect any info from them.
2) No Sneaky Data Collection
If we find out we’ve accidentally collected data from someone under 16, we’ll delete it ASAP—no questions asked.
3) For Parents & Guardians
If you think your child shared info with us, please contact us immediately. We’ll jump into action to fix it.
4) Think of It Like This
We’re like the “parental controls” of the digital world—here to protect young users and ensure our app stays a grown-up zone.
We do not collect more information than is reasonably necessary for the activities in which a child is participating, and we do not condition a child’s participation in an activity on the child providing more information than is reasonably necessary for that activity.
External Links & Third-Party Services: Your Digital Neighborhood Guide
What’s Outside Our Door?
Our app might have links to other apps, websites, or services—think of them like neighbors on your street. But here’s the deal:
We don’t control the neighbors: Once you click a link and leave our app, we can’t speak for what those other sites do with your data.
Read their “house rules”: Every site has its own privacy policy. We recommend checking theirs before you dive in.
Why the Caution?
We’re all about transparency and safety. While we pick our links carefully, we can’t vouch for how others handle your info. So, stay alert and informed!

We use some third-party services to make our app better. Here are a few and their privacy policies:
