Privacy policy

1. Who this is from

Pulse Point is made and published by High Noon Investments. If you have a question about this policy, write to studio@highnooncap.com.

2. What we collect

Nothing. The app has no account to create, no server to sign in to and no backend of any kind. Nothing you record is transmitted, so none of it reaches us or anybody else. On Android the app does not even request permission to use the network.

That means there is no profile of you anywhere, no analytics, no advertising identifier, no crash report carrying your entries, and no third party we pass anything to — because we have nothing to pass on.

3. What the app stores, and where

The app stores the following on your phone, and only on your phone, for as long as you keep it there:

• Your medicines — the names, forms and strengths you type in.
• Your diary — what you recorded taking, and when.
• Blood pressure and pulse readings, with the arm, position, time of day and monitor you noted.
• Blood test results, with the units and reference ranges you entered, and any photo or PDF of a report you attached.
• Body measurements — weight, body fat, resting pulse.
• Supply and injection notes — what was in a box, when you opened it, its use-by date, which site you last used.
• How you felt, in whatever words you wrote.
• Reminders you created, and the text you gave them.
• Your settings — language, units, theme, and whether the app lock is on.
• A one-way hash of your app-lock PIN, if you set one. The PIN itself is never stored, and the hash never leaves the phone or appears in an export.

This is health data, and it is treated accordingly. It is held in a database encrypted at rest with a key kept in the phone's own secure storage — the Keychain on iOS, the Keystore on Android. No other app on your phone can read it. Report files and attachments are kept in the app's own private storage for the same reason.

You can put a second lock in front of the app itself: a PIN, a fingerprint or your face. Biometric checks are performed by the operating system; the app is told yes or no, and never sees your fingerprint or your face.

4. What leaves your phone, and only when you ask

Nothing leaves on its own. Three things can leave, each because you tapped a button to send them somewhere:

• The report for your doctor. The PDF is produced on your phone. Making it transmits nothing. Once you share, save or print it, where it goes is your choice — and it is then outside this app and this policy.
• The file you export. Saving a copy of everything writes one file containing your entries and your attachments. Wherever you put it, it is yours to look after; if that is a cloud drive, that provider's terms apply to it, not ours.
• Reminders. A reminder appears as a notification on your own phone, scheduled locally. It shows only the words you typed, and no part of it travels over a network.

5. Device permissions, and why each one is asked for

• Camera — only when you choose to photograph a lab report, so it can be kept with that panel.
• Photo library — only when you pick an existing photo or PDF to attach.
• Notifications — to show the reminders you set.
• Alarms, and restart after reboot — so a reminder you set still arrives at the right time, and survives the phone being restarted.
• Biometrics — only if you turn the app lock on.

Declining any of these disables the feature that needs it and nothing else. There is no location permission, no contacts permission, no microphone permission, and on Android no network permission.

6. Analytics, advertising and tracking

There are none. The app shows no advertising, contains no advertising or analytics SDK, does not track you across apps or websites, and does not create or read an advertising identifier. Nothing about your use of the app is measured remotely, which also means we cannot tell how many people use it or what they use it for. That is the trade we chose.

7. Your rights over your data

Under the GDPR and similar laws you have rights of access, rectification, erasure and portability over your personal data. Because your data never leaves your device, these are things you exercise directly in the app rather than requests you have to make to us:

• Access and portability — Settings → save a copy of everything. It produces one open file with all of it, including your attachments. It is always free.
• Rectification — every entry can be edited or deleted where it appears.
• Erasure — Settings → erase everything removes the entire contents permanently. Deleting the app removes it too.

The other side of this, stated plainly: we cannot help you recover anything. We have no copy. If your phone is lost, broken or wiped, or you erase the app's data, the only thing that brings your history back is a file you exported earlier. The database key is bound to the device and is deliberately excluded from device backups, so restoring a phone from iCloud or Google does not restore this app's contents. Export a copy from time to time and keep it somewhere you control.

We do not act as a controller or a processor of your health data, because we never receive it. If you believe otherwise, you are entitled to complain to your national data protection authority.

8. Children

Pulse Point is rated 18 and over and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone, of any age, because we do not collect data at all.

9. Changes to this policy

If the app ever changes in a way that affects this policy — and the only change that would is the app gaining the ability to send something somewhere — this page will be updated before that version ships, with a new effective date at the top. We will not quietly start collecting something and amend this page afterwards.
