RespiraNet+ — Privacy Policy

Last updated: Sept 07, 2025

Introduction

RespiraNet is a mobile application that provides quick, non-invasive respiratory health screening using your smartphone. Your privacy and security are important to us. This Privacy Policy explains what data the app accesses, how that data is used, and how we protect it. Please read it carefully.

Data We Access

Microphone & Camera: RespiraNet may require access to your device microphone (for breath sound analysis) and/or camera (for capturing facial/respiratory cues). Access is requested only when you explicitly choose to perform a screening.

How We Use Your Data

  • Local analysis: All signal/image analysis and machine learning inference are performed locally on your device. Data is processed by the embedded ML model to estimate respiratory indicators (confidence score, condition severity, risk alerts).
  • No upload by default: By default, recordings, images, and results are not uploaded to any server, cloud service, or third party. No personally identifiable information (PII) is collected or transmitted without your explicit consent.
  • Optional export or research sharing: If you choose to export or share data (for example, to send to a clinician or contribute to research), that action is initiated by you and may use other apps/services on your device. Any data shared this way is subject to the receiving service's privacy policies.

Data Storage & Retention

RespiraNet does not automatically store captured data or personal information on our servers. If the app temporarily caches data for immediate processing, it is deleted or overwritten immediately after analysis. In short: no long-term storageand no external backups unless you explicitly choose to export or share data.

Third Parties & SDKs

The app does not send data to third-party analytics, advertising networks, or cloud-based ML services by default. Any third-party libraries included for app functionality (UI, local ML runtime, etc.) are used only for local operations.

Security

All processing is done on-device, so there is no data in transit under normal operation. If you voluntarily choose to share data externally, that transmission will use the selected sharing method on your device (for example, email or messaging). We recommend using secure channels if you share sensitive information.

User Rights

  • Data deletion: Because RespiraNet does not retain user data on servers, there is no server-side data to delete. If you stored files locally on your device (for example, audio/video recordings), delete them using your device's gallery or file manager.
  • Contact: If you have questions, requests, or concerns about privacy, please contact us at respiranet@support.gmail.com.

Children

RespiraNet is not directed to children under 13 (or the applicable age in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal data, please contact us and we will take steps to remove it.

Legal & Compliance

RespiraNet is a screening tool and not a medical diagnostic device. The results are intended to provide general guidance only and should not replace professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider for any medical concerns.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We will post the revised version on this page with the updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
