Privacy Policy

1. Scope

This policy applies to the My Beanie web app (app.kidneybloom.com and the Google Play / App Store builds distributed from the same code) and the website kidneybloom.com, operated by Root to Life ("we").

2. What we collect and where it is stored

2-1. Information you enter in the app

• Profile: name (nickname), year of birth, sex, next appointment date, language
• Records: creatinine, potassium and phosphorus values, blood pressure, weight, symptom selections, notes (questions for your doctor)
• Computed values: the eGFR reference value calculated inside the app from your creatinine, year of birth and sex

This information is stored only in your device's browser storage (localStorage). It is never sent to our servers and we cannot access it. "Export records" creates a JSON file on your device; you decide where to keep or share it. "Share" hands the report text to an app you choose (messages, email, etc.); we are not involved in that transfer.

2-2. Information collected automatically

The app and website use no analytics, advertising identifiers, or tracking cookies. When a page loads, our hosting provider (Vercel) and the font CDN (jsDelivr) may temporarily process ordinary server access logs (IP address, time, browser type) under their own privacy policies. We do not use these to identify individuals.

2-3. Information collected when you contact us

If you email us, we receive your email address and message. We use them only to respond and delete them within one year of resolving the inquiry.

3. Health information

Lab values, blood pressure and symptoms are sensitive health information. My Beanie is designed so that we never collect it, so no separate collection consent is requested. If we ever introduce accounts or server storage, we will present a separate consent screen and update this policy before doing so.

4. Purpose

Information you enter is used solely by you to organize your records, view trends, and prepare a one-page pre-visit report. My Beanie is a personal health-record and communication aid, not a medical device. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, or prevent disease; computed values such as eGFR are for reference only. Please make medical decisions with your care team.

5. Third parties and processors

Because we do not hold your health records, we do not share them with or outsource their processing to anyone. External services used to run the app and website:

6. Retention and deletion

• Records in the app: kept on your device until you delete them — Settings → "Delete all records", or by clearing browser/app data.
• Exported JSON files: managed by you.
• Inquiry emails: deleted within one year of resolution.

7. Your rights

You can view, edit, export and delete your records at any time, entirely within the app. For information we do hold (inquiry emails), you may request access, correction or deletion at the contact below.

8. Security

• Serverless design: your health records never exist on our systems, structurally removing breach risk on our side
• HTTPS everywhere
• We recommend a device lock (passcode or biometrics) in case your phone is lost or shared

9. Children

My Beanie is not directed at children under 14. If a caregiver keeps records on a child's behalf, those records also remain only on the caregiver's device.

10. Changes

We will post changes on the website and in the app at least 7 days before they take effect. Any change that expands collection (for example, server storage or accounts) will require separate consent.
