Quardio - Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how Cyber Pioneers Inc. ("we," "us," or "our") collects, stores, and uses your personal information when using the Quardio mobile application ("App") on iOS. By using the App, you consent to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Data Collection and Use

1.1 Information We Collect

• Authentication Data: To ensure security and individualized data storage, we use Firebase Authentication. Users can log in anonymously or with an Apple ID.
• Health and Activity Data: This includes heart rate information via HealthKit and Apple Watch (WCSession) to provide real-time feedback (audio and haptic effects). We also collect data on the period required for heart rate normalization after activation.
• Optional User-Provided Data: Collected only if you voluntarily provide consent, including:
  • Personal Information: When you voluntarily provide data through forms—such as height, weight, age, gender, and name—we collect and process it in compliance with GDPR and other applicable international regulations. This information is used solely to personalize your pulse stabilization experience.
  • Financial information necessary for subscription payments.
  • Responses to optional questionnaires (e.g., medical conditions, exercise frequency, heart disease status, mood tracking).
• Device Data: Information such as operating system version, application version, and usage analytics to enhance functionality.

1.2 How We Use the Data

• Personalization: Data is used to adjust the heart rate stabilization algorithm and provide relevant insights.
• Data Storage: Information (including form data and stabilization results) is securely stored in Firebase Firestore for session history and analytics.
• Analysis & Statistics: Some anonymized data may be used to improve the application, analyze usage, and develop new features.
• Push Notifications: Users may receive reminders to check their current state (e.g., exercising, stress levels), with the option to opt-out.

2. Firebase and Firestore Usage

2.1 Firebase Services

• Authentication: Users can log in via anonymous access or Apple ID for secure identity protection.
• Analytics: Firebase Analytics helps track app events (e.g., stabilization sessions) to improve the user experience.

2.2 Firestore Data Storage

• Secure Storage: All user-entered data (e.g., form inputs, stabilization results) is stored in Firestore.
• Security Measures: Firestore security rules restrict access to authenticated users only.

3. Authentication Options

We use Firebase Authentication, allowing users to:

• Anonymous Access: Users who prefer not to use personal accounts can access the App anonymously, with data linked to a unique user ID.
• Apple ID Authentication: Users can log in with their Apple ID for enhanced security and personalized storage.

4. Data Storage and Protection

• Encryption: All data transmitted between the App and Firebase servers is encrypted.
• Access Control: Only authorized personnel, bound by confidentiality agreements, can access personal data.
• Retention Period: Data is stored as long as necessary for app functionality or as required by law.

5. Data Sharing and Third-Party Access

We do not share, sell, or transfer personal data to third parties. All data remains securely stored and used exclusively for enhancing the App's functionality.

6. User Consent and Control

• Users can choose whether to provide optional data (mood tracking, health questionnaires, financial information).
• Users can request data deletion by contacting us at [email protected].

7. Error Handling and Validation

• Data Validation: User inputs are validated before saving to ensure accuracy.
• Error Handling: Any issues with data storage (e.g., network problems) are managed to maintain data integrity.
