Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy
Some states, Washington (the My Health My Data Act), Nevada and Connecticut among them, give you particular rights over "consumer health data". The allergies, medications and medical devices you may add to SafetySieve are that kind of data. This page says, as those laws ask, what we collect, why, who handles it, and how to use your rights. It applies wherever you live. Idempotent Studio LLC, 2603 Clarion Ln, Fort Collins, CO 80524.
The consumer health data we collect
- Allergies your household lists, chosen from our list of allergens.
- Medications your household lists, as you typed them, and the drug names our copy of FDA's drug directory reads in them.
- Medical devices your household lists: the model, brand or device identifier, never a serial or lot number.
- Which recalls matched any of them, and allergens you suggest we add.
Each is recorded for the household, never for a named person. Adding any of them is up to you: SafetySieve works with states alone.
We ask for your consent the first time you add one, and record when you gave it. Nothing of the three is added without it.
Where it comes from
Only from you, in the app. We buy no data and gather none from elsewhere about you.
Why we collect it
Only to do what you asked the app to do: tell you which recalls name an allergy, medication or device your household lists. We use it for nothing else: not for advertising, not for profiling, not to infer anything about anyone's health.
Who it is shared with
We do not sell consumer health data, and we do not share it with anyone for their own use. It is handled only by the company that hosts our servers and database on our behalf (Render, in the United States), bound to use it for nothing but running SafetySieve. It never goes into a notification, and it is never sent to Google, Apple, RevenueCat or any other company. We have no affiliates that receive it.
One exception, with nothing that identifies you: while you type a device to add, our server sends the typed words, and only those, to FDA's openFDA device database to suggest matching models. Nothing about you or your household goes with them, and they are not logged.
If the law ever required us to disclose it, we would tell you unless the law forbade it.
Your rights
- To know whether we collect or share your consumer health data, and to see it: it is all on the app's Household tab, and we will send you a copy on request.
- To delete it: remove any item on the Household tab at any time, or delete your account in Settings or as our account deletion page describes. An account deleted is erased after 30 days, from our systems and our host's.
- To withdraw consent: removing an item withdraws it; we stop using it at once.
- To appeal a decision we made about your request, by replying to it.
To use any of these, write to privacy@idempotent-studio.com from the email address on your account. We answer within 45 days, and never charge for it or treat you differently for asking. If we deny an appeal, you may contact your state's Attorney General (in Washington, atg.wa.gov/file-complaint).
Changes
If this policy changes in a way that matters, the app asks you to accept it again before you continue.
