Bolus Privacy Policy
Bolus respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the information you provide when using the Bolus mobile application and related services. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, when it may be disclosed, and the safeguards available to you.
1. Local-First Architecture
Bolus is designed around a local-first architecture. In its current form, clinical records and patient-related case data are stored primarily on your device rather than on Bolus-operated servers. This is intended to reduce unnecessary transmission of protected health information and keep sensitive records under the direct control of the clinician using the app.
2. Information We Collect
We may collect limited information required to operate the service, including account details such as your name, email address, professional title, degree, institution, authentication provider, and profile image. We may also collect app telemetry, crash information, and other technical diagnostics that help us maintain reliability and security. We do not intentionally collect patient names or full case logs on Bolus-hosted systems unless a future feature explicitly states otherwise and is covered by the required safeguards.
3. How We Use Information
We use account and technical information to authenticate users, support account management, maintain app functionality, improve reliability, investigate security issues, and communicate important updates. De-identified operational analytics may be used to improve workflow design, stability, and performance.
4. Third-Party Services
Bolus may rely on trusted service providers such as Firebase, Apple, Google, and other infrastructure vendors to provide authentication, storage, subscription processing, or technical support services. Those providers receive only the information needed to perform their specific services and are expected to maintain appropriate security controls.
5. Data Security
Bolus uses device-level and application-level safeguards to help protect data, including encryption, secure authentication controls, and local access protections supported by the operating system. Users are responsible for maintaining secure devices, passcodes, biometric protections, and compliant handling practices when exporting records.
6. Retention and Deletion
Account-related information may be retained for operational, billing, compliance, and support purposes for as long as reasonably necessary. Clinical records stored locally remain under the user’s control and may be lost if a device is damaged, reset, wiped, or the application is deleted without a compliant backup process.
7. Your Rights and Choices
You may review, update, or delete certain profile information through the app. You may also export your own case records using the app’s available export functions. If you no longer wish to use Bolus, you may stop using the application and request account-related changes where applicable.
8. HIPAA and Professional Responsibility
Bolus is designed to support HIPAA-conscious workflows, but compliance depends on how the app is used in practice. You are responsible for making sure exports, disclosures, devices, and destination systems comply with your legal, professional, employer, and institutional obligations.
9. Future Features
If Bolus later offers cloud backup, synchronization, analytics, collaboration, or hosted record features involving regulated data, those services may be subject to additional terms, disclosures, and business associate requirements before use.
