Effective Date: January 20, 2026 | Last Updated: January 29, 2026

Introduction

MediVision ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application.

No cloud accounts required
All health data is stored locally—we never see it
De-identified AI queries
Personal identifiers stripped before any AI processing
FTC HBNR compliant

Information We Collect

Information You Provide

  • Health Information: Symptom descriptions, medical history, medication lists, and related health data you enter into the app
  • Profile Information: Name, age, gender, and emergency contacts you choose to provide
  • Images: Photos of symptoms or medications you choose to capture

Automatically Collected Information

  • Crash Reports: Anonymized technical information when the app encounters errors (via Sentry)
  • Usage Analytics: Non-identifiable usage patterns to improve the app

How Your Data is Stored

Local-Only Storage

All personal health information is stored exclusively on your device using Apple's iOS Keychain, which provides:

  • Hardware-level encryption
  • Biometric protection (Face ID/Touch ID when enabled)
  • No transmission to external servers

What We Do NOT Store

  • We do NOT store your health data on any servers
  • We do NOT create cloud accounts for users
  • We do NOT have access to your personal health information

How We Use Your Information

Health Data (Processed Locally)

Your health information is used to:

  • Provide AI-powered symptom triage guidance
  • Track your symptom history
  • Identify potential medication interactions

Crash Reports

Anonymized crash data is used to:

  • Identify and fix bugs
  • Improve app stability
  • Enhance user experience

Important: Crash reports are automatically filtered to remove any health-related information before transmission.

AI Processing

When you request symptom analysis, your description is sent to Google's Gemini API for processing. This transmission:

  • Is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3/HTTPS)
  • Passes through our secure proxy server that removes identifying information
  • Is not stored by us or used for training AI models

De-identification (Safe Harbor Method)

Before any symptom data is sent for AI analysis, we remove all personal identifiers following the HIPAA Safe Harbor de-identification standard. The following 18 identifier types are stripped:

  • Names
  • Geographic data smaller than state
  • Dates (except year)
  • Phone numbers
  • Email addresses
  • Social Security numbers
  • Medical record numbers
  • Health plan numbers
  • Account numbers
  • Certificate/license numbers
  • Vehicle identifiers
  • Device identifiers
  • Web URLs
  • IP addresses
  • Biometric identifiers
  • Full-face photos
  • Any unique identifying code

This ensures that even if you accidentally include personal information in your symptom description, it will be removed before reaching any external service.

FTC Health Breach Notification Rule

As a consumer health app, MediVision complies with the FTC's Health Breach Notification Rule (HBNR). This means:

  • All locally stored health data is encrypted at rest (AES-256)
  • We do not share health data with advertisers or third-party analytics
  • In the unlikely event of a security breach affecting your health data, we will notify you and the FTC
  • We maintain internal breach response procedures

Note: Because your health data is stored only on your device and we never have access to it, the risk of a breach from our systems is minimal. However, we recommend enabling device encryption and biometric lock on your phone.
