YOUR PRIVACY MATTERS

Privacy Policy

Effective Date: January 1, 2025

Plain-English summary: LoomVital helps you log exercise, diet, vitals (e.g., blood pressure, blood sugar) and see trends. We collect only what we need to run the app, secure your account, generate reports, and (if you opt-in) send weekly summaries. We don't sell personal data. You can access, correct, export, or delete your data. This document explains the details.

4) Legal Bases

  • Canada (PIPEDA): we follow the 10 Fair Information Principles (accountability, identifying purposes, consent, limiting collection/use/retention, accuracy, safeguards, openness, individual access, challenging compliance).
  • EU/EEA & UK (GDPR/UK GDPR): processing bases may include consent (health data/features, marketing), contract (to deliver the app), and legitimate interests (security, basic analytics). You can withdraw consent at any time.
  • USA: for non-HIPAA health apps, we comply with the FTC Health Breach Notification Rule for qualifying breaches of unsecured health information.

5) Your Choices & Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

  • Access a copy of your personal information.
  • Correct inaccurate or incomplete data.

6) Sharing & Disclosure

We do NOT sell personal data.

We share information only with:

  • Processors/Service Providers: e.g., cloud hosting, analytics, email delivery, crash reporting—bound by contract to protect your information and act only on our instructions.
  • Integrations you enable: when you connect a wearable or a third-party app, we exchange data necessary for the integration.
  • Legal & Safety: to comply with law, enforce our Terms, or protect rights, safety, or security.
  • Business Transfers: if we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, we will notify you and honor this Policy (or seek your consent where required).

7) International Data Transfers

We may process data in countries other than yours (e.g., the U.S. or Canada). Where required, we use safeguards such as standard contractual clauses and vendor due diligence.

8) Security

We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards (e.g., encryption in transit, role-based access, least-privilege, audit logs). No method is 100% secure; we continuously improve our protections.

9) Data Retention

We keep personal data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide Services and meet legal obligations. You can delete entries or your account in the app; backups may persist for a limited period.

10) Marketing & Anti-Spam

We obtain consent before sending commercial electronic messages to Canadian users and include clear unsubscribe mechanisms. You can adjust preferences in-app or via email footer links.
