PRIVACY POLICY

• Where does the app save my data and how is it used?

The app collects and maintains your data inside the internal memory of your device. The app also allows you to make a backup of your database file by transmitting it to your private Dropbox folder. In the standard version of the app, no personal data of the user or the application database are collected or transmitted to us or third-party. If the in-app "Cloud" add-on purchase is made, then the data stored in the local database is also transmitted and stored on a Microsoft server in order to enable synchronization of the app data between the devices on which you have the app installed. The user has the possibility to request the deletion of his data from the server by sending an email to cherryprogramming@gmail.com including their userid and a request to delete their data from the server.

• Does the app use my email or userid?

Only if you purchase the "Cloud" add-on within the application, the application uses your email and your userid, but without storing them permanently, in order to authenticate your account so that the application can access your data which are stored on the Microsoft server.

• Can the app send a SMS without asking me first?

The app allows you to schedule SMS reminders for your patients. For example, you may want to schedule a recall examination 6 months after the treatment. If you activate the SMS Reminder option, the application will open the default SMS-app of your device in order to send a SMS to the selected phone number(s). You will be notified that the SMS has been sent successfully or failed. You can also send a medical prescription via SMS to the selected phone number of your patient.

• Can the app make calls or read the state of my phone?

Yes. This only happens when you use the app to call a number or send a SMS to a saved patient. The content of your SMS messages and phone calls are transported via your mobile carrier. We are not involved in this communication and we do not collect the contents of the call or SMS or any other personal information.

• How does the app handle location data?

The app does not use or collect any data related to your geographic location.

• Do you collect or share personal information?

No personal information is collected, transmitted, or maintained by the app, we do not share personal information with anyone.

• Do advertising companies collect data?

No data is shared with advertising companies.

• Does the app software use my device camera without my permission or notification?

No. When you install the app, it asks for your permission to use the camera. You are in control when the app will use the camera of your device.

• Where does the app stores the photos I make via the app?

The photos are stored in your device storage. The app also allows you to make a backup of these files by transmitting them to your private Dropbox folder.

• Does the app read my accounts names and the contacts of my accounts?

Yes. This happens in order to be able to add a contact in the patients database and to add/edit your appointments. You control when this will happen. The app does not maintain or transmit your account details or your contacts' details and list.

• Can the app use the microphone of my device?

Yes. This only happens when you want to convert speech to text. The app does not record or save the sound.

• Restrictions for Personal and Sensitive Data Access
The app does not handle financial or payment information or government identification numbers, non-public phonebook or contact information. It does not contains anti-virus or security functionality, such as anti-virus, anti-malware, or security-related features. The app does not target children and does not include an SDK that is not approved for use in child-directed services. The app does not collect or link persistent device identifiers (e.g., IMEI, IMSI, SIM Serial #, etc.)

• Storage: the app requests permission to access the phone’s storage only in order to store the user's image files and the patients database records. The app does not access any image files without asking the user first.

• Contacts: the app accesses the contacts on the phone in order to create a new patient record from the contact's details. The contacts information is not transmitted nor stored on any server.

• Backup in Dropbox: A user that desires to backup the data that are stored inside the app, can do so by using the Remote Access menu which uploads the data to the cloud storage (Dropbox). In that case the user will authorize the app to access the user's cloud storage and the app will send the database and saved image files to that cloud storage service on the user’s own storage folders on their own cloud account. The app does not store the user's data on any server other than those of Dropbox and no one but the user or any app that the user authorized have access to these files. The user account and authorization information is only stored locally and internal by the app and is not transmitted or stored anywhere else.

• Personal information: We made the app with your privacy in mind, so we do not collect personally identifiable information about you. We do not collect information such as your name, address, phone number, email address or precise geographic location.
