âšī¸ 1. About HealthMate
HealthMate is a personal health tracking application designed for Android devices. It helps you track body measurements, blood sugar levels, set health reminders, and generate health reports â all stored privately on your phone.
This Privacy Policy explains what information is handled within the app, how it is stored, and your rights as a user.
đą 2. Information We Store Locally
The following health data is stored only on your device using a local SQLite database:
| Data Type | What is stored | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Body Checks | Date/time, weight (kg), height (cm), BMI, blood pressure (systolic/diastolic), heart rate (bpm), notes | Track physical health metrics over time |
| Blood Sugar | Date/time, test type (RBS/FBS), result (mmol/L, mg/dL), status, notes | Monitor glucose levels and trends |
| Reminders | Title, description, scheduled time, repeat days, type (medication/health/nutrition/custom) | Send local notifications for health tasks |
| Reminder Logs | Completion timestamps per reminder per day | Track which reminders were completed |
đ 3. Data Storage & Security
- All data is stored in a local SQLite database on your device, inside the app's private storage directory.
- No data is transmitted to any server, cloud service, or third party.
- Data is protected by Android's built-in app sandboxing â other apps cannot access it.
- Generated PDF reports are only shared when you explicitly tap "Generate & Share" and choose a recipient.
- Deleting the app permanently removes all data stored by HealthMate.
đ 4. Device Permissions
HealthMate requests only the permissions necessary to provide its features:
| Permission | Reason | Required |
|---|---|---|
| POST_NOTIFICATIONS | Display reminder notifications on Android 13+ | Optional |
| USE_EXACT_ALARM / SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM | Schedule reminders at precise times (medication alerts) | For reminders |
| RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED | Re-schedule reminders after device restart | For reminders |
| VIBRATE | Vibrate when a reminder notification fires | Auto-granted |
| WRITE/READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE | Share PDF reports on older Android versions (⤠API 32) | Optional |
You may deny notification permissions at any time via Android Settings. Core health tracking features work without any permissions.
đ¤ 5. No Account Required
HealthMate does not require you to create an account, sign in, or provide any personal identification. The app functions entirely without an internet connection.
đ 6. Internet & Third-Party Services
HealthMate does not use the internet for any core functionality. The app does not include:
- Analytics SDKs (e.g., Firebase Analytics, Crashlytics)
- Advertising SDKs
- Third-party cloud storage or sync services
- Social media integrations
The only external network activity is when you choose to share a PDF report â the share action is handled by your Android system's share sheet, and the file goes directly to the app you select.
đļ 7. Children's Privacy
HealthMate is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect or store personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has entered health data into the app, you may delete it by clearing the app's data or uninstalling it.
