Privacy Policy

This placeholder describes, in general terms, how MyCareBuddy handles personal and health data until the final, legally-reviewed policy replaces it.

This policy covers the MyCareBuddy app and the health data your Care Circle enters. Joining the launch waitlist on the public website is separate processing — an email address, no health data — and is described in the marketing privacy notice.

What we store

With your consent, MyCareBuddy stores the health data you and your Care Circle enter: diagnosis, medications, medical documents, lab results, and related notes, along with account information such as your name and email address.

Who can see it

Health data is visible only to the members of your Care Circle — the patient and the caregivers they've invited. MyCareBuddy staff cannot view your health data; administrative access is structurally limited to account metadata (e.g. whether an account exists and is active), never health content.

Cookies

MyCareBuddy uses only cookies that are strictly necessary to run the app. Nothing you do inside the app is measured, profiled, or sent to an analytics or advertising company. Because these cookies are essential, we don't need to ask for your consent to set them — we disclose them here for transparency instead.

• Session cookie — keeps you signed in and remembers your Care Circle as you move between pages. Lasts for your session, up to 2 hours of inactivity.
• CSRF cookie — protects your account and forms from cross-site request forgery attacks. Lasts for your session.
• "Remember me" cookie — keeps you signed in between visits, only set if you check "Remember me" when logging in. Lasts up to 5 years, or until you log out.
• Cookie notice cookie — remembers that you've seen and dismissed the cookie notice, so we don't show it again. Lasts up to 1 year.

If you visited our public website before signing up and agreed to analytics there, your browser may still hold a Google Analytics cookie (_ga) and a record of your answer (__Host-analytics_consent) for this address, and both are sent back to us as you use the app. We don't read either one and nothing in the app measures you — but you'd see them in your browser's cookie list, so we'd rather say so. You can clear or change that answer at any time in the marketing privacy notice, which also deletes the Google Analytics cookies from your device.

Your rights

You can view what you've consented to and when, export a copy of your data, and delete your account at any time from Settings → Privacy & consent.
