Datenschutzerklärung

Heartworks Pty Ltd („Heartworks“, „wir“, „uns“ oder „unser“) respektiert Ihre Privatsphäre. Diese Datenschutzerklärung erläutert, wie EKG+ („die App“) mit Informationen umgeht, wenn Sie die App nutzen.

EKG+ braucht nur eine einzige Sache, um seine Arbeit zu tun

Wenn Sie EKG+ zum ersten Mal öffnen, ist dies die einzige Berechtigung, um die es bittet: Ihre EKG-Aufzeichnungen. Nichts anderes aus Apple Health wird angefragt.

Datenschutz auf einen Blick

• Kein Konto, niemals. EKG+ hat keine Registrierung und keine Anmeldung. Sie öffnen die App und nutzen sie.
• Keine persönlichen Angaben. Wir fragen niemals nach Ihrem Namen, Ihrem Geschlecht oder Ihrem Alter.
• Nur das, was ein EKG braucht. Mit Ihrer Erlaubnis liest EKG+ Ihre EKG-Aufzeichnungen aus Apple Health, dazu den Symptom-Kontext, der hilft, jede einzelne einzuordnen.
• Bleibt auf Ihrem Gerät. Ihre Gesundheitsdaten bleiben auf Ihrem iPhone, es sei denn, Sie wählen eine Funktion, die die Cloud benötigt (eine KI-Erklärung), und dann auch nur dafür.
• Niemals verkauft, niemals für Werbung. Wir verkaufen Ihre Daten nicht und nutzen sie nicht für Werbung.

1. No account, and only the access an ECG needs

You do not need an account to use ECG+. There is no sign-up, no login, and no user profile, nothing that identifies you personally.

With your permission, ECG+ reads your ECG recordings from Apple Health to do its work. By default, that is the only thing it reads. From each recording, it takes:

• the ECG data itself, the voltage samples that form the waveform
• the recording's date and time
• the average heart rate saved with it
• the device's own rhythm classification (sinus rhythm, AFib, inconclusive, and so on)

Everything else the App shows you, premature beats (PAC/PVC), HRV, QT/QTc, and trends over time, it works out on your device from those samples. Symptoms, notes, and tags are things you choose to add yourself.

There is one exception, and only if you ask for it. In the Journal, next to an entry, you can tap "Sync from Health". If you do, ECG+ reads that one item for that recording, your sleep for the night before, or the symptoms you already logged on your watch, so you don't have to type it in again. Nothing is synced unless you tap it.

What ECG+ does not access: we do not ask for or read your name, your sex, or your date of birth. Apart from your ECG recordings, and anything you explicitly choose to sync in the Journal, we do not read any other category of data in Apple Health. ECG+ only reads the information above to analyze it.

2. How your information is used

We may use information handled by the App to:

• display your ECG, HRV, and related heart rhythm information inside the App
• generate charts, summaries, trends, and educational explanations
• support optional features you choose to use
• maintain, troubleshoot, and improve the App
• respond to support requests, bug reports, or feedback you send us
• comply with legal obligations where required

We do not use HealthKit data or information derived from it for advertising purposes.

3. On-device processing and data sharing

ECG+ is designed so that health information is handled as locally as possible on your device. Unless you actively choose to use a feature that sends information outside your device, your Apple Health and ECG-related data remain on your device.

Some optional features may require limited data transmission, for example:

• if you choose to contact support
• if you choose to sync, back up, restore, or transfer certain App content
• if you choose to use cloud-based explanation or assistance features
• if crash or error reports are sent to help us investigate technical problems

When a feature requires data to leave your device, that will only occur as needed for that feature and subject to the permissions, actions, and settings you choose.

4. What we do not do

• We do not sell your health information.
• We do not use HealthKit data for advertising or marketing profiling.
• We do not claim ownership of your Apple Health data.
• We do not provide medical diagnosis, treatment, or emergency monitoring through ECG+.

5. Third-party services

ECG+ uses third-party services for two purposes only:

• Google Crashlytics, for crash and error reporting, so we can find and fix technical problems in the App. It receives technical information about crashes and errors.
• AI services (for example, OpenAI GPT), behind the optional AI explanation feature. When you choose to use that feature, only the recording information needed to generate the explanation is sent to the AI service, and only for that purpose.

We use no other third-party services. Each provider handles only the limited information needed for its function and operates under its own terms and privacy policy, which we do not control.

6. Data retention

Information stored locally in the App generally remains on your device until you delete it, remove the App, or clear it through available App or device controls.

If you choose to send us information, use support channels, or use optional cloud-based features, related records may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary for support, security, legal, compliance, backup, or operational purposes.

7. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to protect information handled by ECG+. No method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Your choices and controls

You can control ECG+'s access to Apple Health data through Apple's Health and privacy settings. Depending on how you use the App, you may also be able to:

• revoke Health access permissions
• delete App content stored on your device
• delete the App from your device
• choose whether or not to use optional cloud-based or support features

9. International use

If information is transmitted through optional online features, it may be processed in countries other than the one where you are located. By choosing to use those features, you understand that information may be transferred and processed in other jurisdictions, subject to applicable safeguards where required.

10. Children

ECG+ is not directed to children under the age at which personal data processing would require parental authorisation under applicable law. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us inappropriately, please contact us and we will review the matter.

11. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will update the effective date above and may also provide additional notice within the App or on our website where appropriate.
