What this policy covers

This policy covers My Adrenal Companion. The public website privacy policy is a different document. Visiting these public pages is website activity under that website policy. It is not a copy of your Companion chart. The membership portal is a separate site and is not described here.

The local Companion record

The application stores a personal medical chart on your device first. You own the personal medical information, photographs, original laboratory documents, and other records you put in that chart. Care and emergency profiles, medication regimens, dose records, symptoms, illness and stress events, emergency events, vital signs, laboratory results, notes, Connected Health information you import, Medical Team records, appointments, and similar entries you create are kept in that chart on the device. My Adrenal Life does not automatically receive that chart. Optional iCloud synchronization, described below, can include supported records, photographs, and original laboratory documents when you enable it and the files are available. Not every piece of information remains exclusively on the device.

The local record stays separate from Ask ADDI. The chart is not automatically sent to Ask ADDI.

Optional iCloud synchronization

The current application includes optional iCloud synchronization, including CloudKit, for supported records. You choose whether to enable it. It is not required to use the core app. My Adrenal Companion has not yet been released publicly. Availability of optional iCloud synchronization at public launch remains subject to final testing and App Store approval.

When you enable optional iCloud synchronization, supported chart records may synchronize through your private CloudKit database. Depending on the records and files available, synchronized information may include sensitive health information, photographs associated with your records, and original laboratory documents. Not every attachment or record is guaranteed to synchronize. Supported records can synchronize between supported Apple devices that use your own iCloud account. That depends on normal Apple device and account requirements, including being signed in to iCloud on those devices. When sync is enabled and the files are available, synchronized information may include care and emergency profiles, medication regimens, dose records, symptoms, illness and stress events, emergency events, vital signs, laboratory results, imported Apple Health data, notes, Medical Team records, appointments, site photographs, and original laboratory documents. Site photographs and original laboratory documents can be uploaded as CloudKit assets in that case. Supported information you import from Apple Health may become part of the chart and may then be included in that synchronization.

My Adrenal Life does not automatically receive the Companion chart through iCloud. My Adrenal Life does not receive your entire iCloud account. This policy does not describe iCloud or CloudKit synchronization as end-to-end encrypted.

iCloud sync is not an encrypted backup. A backup is a file you create and store. Sync is ongoing synchronization of supported records through your iCloud account when you turn that option on.

Encrypted backups

You can make an encrypted backup and store that file yourself through a Files provider, including iCloud Drive, On My iPhone, or another provider you choose. You choose where the file is saved. Restoring an older backup can bring back records you previously deleted. If you forget the backup password, My Adrenal Life cannot recover it or open that backup for you.

Saving a backup file in iCloud Drive is not the same thing as iCloud synchronization of the Companion record.

Apple Health

With your permission, My Adrenal Companion can import supported information from Apple Health, including cardiovascular measurements, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, sleep, activity, workouts, weight, body temperature, and respiratory rate. The exact information available depends on the permissions you grant, the data available in Apple Health, and the types supported by the application. In the current application, supported cardiovascular information can include heart rate, resting heart rate, heart-rate variability, walking heart rate, high heart-rate events, low heart-rate events, and irregular rhythm events. Supported activity information can include steps, walking and running distance, active energy, exercise time, and walking speed. The application does not access every measurement in Apple Health.

The current iOS application includes this Apple Health integration. The application has not yet been released publicly. Supported Apple Health features at launch remain subject to final verification and App Store approval.

On iOS, you control Apple Health permissions. Supported health information you import becomes part of the Companion chart. If you enable optional iCloud synchronization, those supported imported records may synchronize through CloudKit using your iCloud account. Allowing Apple Health does not automatically share Apple Health with My Adrenal Life, and My Adrenal Life does not receive your entire Apple Health account. My Adrenal Life does not use connected health information for targeted advertising.

Health Connect on Android

The current application is for iPhone on iOS 18 or later. Health Connect integration is planned for a future Android version of My Adrenal Companion. Health Connect is not available in the current iPhone application. Apple Health is the supported connected-health integration for this iOS release. Future Android functionality may differ depending on device compatibility, permissions, and supported Health Connect data categories. My Adrenal Life does not use connected health information for targeted advertising.

Ask ADDI

Ask ADDI — Educational AI Assistant

When you use Ask ADDI, the questions and information you voluntarily enter are transmitted to a third-party AI service provider to generate educational responses. Conversations are stored and may be reviewed by My Adrenal Life to improve Ask ADDI, its educational resources, and future developments.

You are not required to provide contact information to use Ask ADDI. If you voluntarily provide contact details and request follow-up, My Adrenal Life may use that information to respond to your request.

Your My Adrenal Companion health records are not automatically shared with Ask ADDI. Ask ADDI conversations are not stored in your Companion iCloud records.

Ask ADDI does not provide medical diagnosis, treatment, prescriptions, or emergency services.

Lab documents and photos

Premium lab-document import uses documents you choose on purpose. On-device OCR and extraction run on the device. Results you confirm become part of the Companion chart. The app does not take lab files from the device on its own. Original laboratory documents are stored with their associated records on your device. If you enable optional iCloud synchronization, supported original laboratory documents may also synchronize through your private CloudKit database when the files are available. Not every document is guaranteed to synchronize. On-device text recognition does not, by itself, send the document to My Adrenal Life.

The camera and photo library are used only when you choose an image, such as a site photo for an injection or pump record. Photographs are stored with their associated records on your device. If you enable optional iCloud synchronization, supported photographs may also synchronize through your private CloudKit database when the files are available. Choosing an image does not automatically send that photo to My Adrenal Life. A photograph you include in an encrypted backup is part of the backup file you save. Not every photograph is guaranteed to synchronize.

Purchases

Apple handles payment. The app may receive entitlement state so it can tell Free access from Premium access. My Adrenal Life does not receive your full card number. Premium does not take ownership of your records. If Premium lapses, records you already created remain available to you. This page does not list a price.

Internet features

Some features use the internet when you use them. Ask ADDI sends the text you type. Purchase checks can receive entitlement state from Apple. Optional iCloud sync uses your private CloudKit database for supported records when you enable it. Depending on the records and files available, that may include photographs and original laboratory documents. Not every attachment or record is guaranteed to synchronize. A backup you save to a cloud Files provider is stored where you save it. Connected Health on the initial iOS release reads the Apple Health data you permit. Those are specific flows. They are not a copy of your whole iCloud account sent to My Adrenal Life.

Third-party services

Apple provides iCloud and CloudKit when you enable synchronization, Apple Health when you allow that connection, and the purchase and entitlement services for subscriptions and one-time purchases. Ask ADDI uses an online service to operate the conversation when you choose to type into it. An encrypted backup stored with a Files provider is kept by that provider. This policy does not claim that My Adrenal Life can delete information from Apple’s systems, from the Ask ADDI service, or from a backup file you already saved somewhere else.

Retention and deletion

The chart is stored on your device. If you turn on iCloud synchronization, supported records can also be stored through your private CloudKit database, including supported photographs and original laboratory documents when the files are available. Not every attachment or record is guaranteed to synchronize. An encrypted backup is a separate file you create and keep where you save it. You choose Apple Health permissions. You choose whether to type anything into Ask ADDI.

Ordinary deletion of a record marks that record deleted. When iCloud synchronization is enabled, that deletion marker is synchronized to CloudKit. Ordinary deletion does not physically erase the corresponding CloudKit record. Turning off iCloud Sync stops synchronization on that device. It does not erase information already stored in your private iCloud database. The application does not currently provide a control that permanently erases CloudKit records. Deleting the application does not, by itself, remove records already synchronized through iCloud or a backup file you already saved. Turning off an Apple Health permission stops new imports from that permission. It does not remove information already copied into the chart. This policy does not state how long the Ask ADDI service keeps a conversation, and it does not promise that My Adrenal Life can delete that conversation from the third-party service. No single action described here deletes every copy from the device, iCloud, a backup you saved, and Ask ADDI.
