Privacy Policy for Simple Allergy Alert

Last Updated:

1. Information We Collect

We believe in "Privacy by Design." Simple Allergy Alert is designed to function with minimal data collection.

Information You Provide:

• Allergy Profiles: When you create an allergy card, you select specific allergens and may enter custom text. This information is stored locally on your device and is not uploaded to our servers.
• Saved Cards: Any cards you "Save" are stored in your device's local storage (browser/app cache).

Automatically Collected Information:

• Translation Data: When you request a translation, the text of your allergy profile is sent to the Google Translate API to generate the translation. This data is processed and returned to your device.
• Device Information: Basic device information (model, OS version) may be processed to ensure the app displays correctly on your screen.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

• Generate personalized allergy alert cards
• Provide accurate translations in over 100 languages
• Allow you to save and access your cards offline
• Improve the app's user interface and performance

3. Data Storage and Security

Your personal allergy data remains on your device. We do not maintain a central database of your personal allergy profiles. Because your data is stored locally, deleting the app or clearing your browser cache will remove your saved cards.

4. Data Sharing and Third Parties

We do not sell or trade your personal information. We only share data with third parties as necessary to provide the app's core functionality:

• Google Translate API: We use Google's services to translate your allergy information. Please refer to Google's Privacy Policy for how they handle translation queries.
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights and safety.

5. Children's Privacy

Simple Allergy Alert is suitable for all ages and is often used by parents to protect children with allergies. We do not knowingly collect or store personal identifiable information from children on our servers.

6. Your Rights and Choices

Since your data is stored locally, you have full control:

• Access/Update: You can edit your allergy cards at any time within the app.
• Deletion: You can delete saved cards within the app or by uninstalling the application.
• Offline Use: Once a card is translated and saved, you can use it without an internet connection, preventing further data transmission.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.
