Privacy Policy
Last updated: 21 July 2026
Family Health helps families stay close to a parent or older relative through a simple daily check-in.
Because that involves personal and health-related information, we keep this policy specific about
exactly what is collected, who can see it, and what we never do.
The short version. Family Health shares a small, deliberately limited picture with the family
members the cared-for person chooses. It never tracks location, never reads messages, mail or photos,
uses the camera only to scan a document you choose and the microphone only while you talk to the assistant, and never sells data or uses it for advertising. The cared-for
person can turn any part of sharing off — or pause it entirely — at any time.
Who we are
Family Health is provided by Keerthi Bommareddy ("we", "us"). For any privacy question, contact
keerthibommareddy94@gmail.com.
What we collect
- Account details — your name and email address, provided when you sign in with Apple or Google.
- Family setup — the members of your Care Circle, their names and roles, the order in which
they're notified, and a phone number if you choose to add one for the call button.
- Check-ins — the time of each daily check-in, and whether it was tapped by the person
or detected automatically from their own movement.
- Health & activity data — only from the cared-for person's device, and only with their
explicit Apple Health permission: step counts, walking steadiness, walking speed, walking asymmetry
and sleep duration. These are used to produce the plain-language wellbeing trends shown to the family.
- Care content you enter — symptoms such as headaches and pain (when, where, how strong,
what came before and what helped), readings, medicines and doses taken, appointments, tasks, notes, and any
documents you choose to upload.
- Assistant messages — what you type or say to Ani, in order to answer you. When you speak,
your iPhone turns your voice into text by itself; only the text is sent, and the audio is never sent or stored.
- Subscription status — whether you have an active subscription. Payment is handled entirely
by Apple; we never see your card details.
- Basic diagnostics — crash and reliability information used to keep the app working.
What we never collect
- Precise location or GPS, at any time.
- The contents of messages, email, photos or contacts.
- Audio recordings. The microphone is used only while you talk to Ani, and speech is turned into text on your iPhone.
- Photos or video from the camera, other than a document you choose to scan and save.
- The calendar on your iPhone. If you switch on "My calendar", your events are read on the device to show them
beside the family's appointments. They are never uploaded and your family never sees them.
Health data (Apple Health)
Health and activity information read from Apple Health is used solely to provide the wellbeing features
inside Family Health — the daily check-in and the walking-steadiness and activity trends shown to the chosen
family members.
We never use health data for advertising or marketing, never sell it, and never share it with
third parties for their own purposes. It is shared only with the Care Circle members the cared-for
person has chosen, and only in the categories they leave switched on.
Who can see it
Your family's information is visible only to the members of your family in the app. We do not make it
public and we do not sell it. We use the following service providers to run Family Health, who process data on
our behalf:
- Google Firebase — sign-in, database, file storage, notifications and server functions.
- Google Gemini, on Google Cloud Vertex AI (via Firebase AI Logic) — powers the optional
assistant, Ani. See The AI assistant below.
- RevenueCat — manages subscription status.
- Apple — sign-in, payments and notification delivery.
The AI assistant (Ani)
Ani is optional and switched off until you turn her on. Until then, nothing is sent to any
AI service. You are shown exactly what would be sent before you agree, and you can withdraw that consent at any
time in Settings › AI assistant. Everything else in the app works with Ani switched off.
When Ani is on, text is sent to Google to answer your question. Never photos, files, your location or your
Apple Health data.
- Always sent: what you type, the first name of the person you are asking about, and your
device's date, time and time zone.
- Only when your question needs it: journal entries (symptoms, readings, medicines given,
notes), medicine names and schedules, appointment titles and dates, first names in your Care Circle, and
document titles and your notes on them — never the document files themselves.
This is used only to answer you. It is not used to train Google's models, it is not sold, and it is never
used for advertising.
Notes in "Worth noticing"
The app counts and compares entries you have written yourself — how often something came up, and how a
reading sits against that person's own usual range. These notes are not a medical assessment
or a diagnosis, and the app cannot judge how serious anything is. If something concerns you, speak to a doctor
or vet.
Staying in control
The cared-for person can, at any time and from their own device:
- Turn off any individual category of sharing — the family is not told which.
- Pause sharing entirely; the family simply sees that sharing is paused, never an alarm.
- Change who is in the Care Circle.
Any member can delete their account from Settings, which removes their account record. If you want a
family's data removed entirely, write to keerthibommareddy94@gmail.com and we
will delete it.
Keeping it safe
Data is encrypted in transit and at rest by our infrastructure provider, and access is restricted to the
members of your family through server-side security rules.
Where data is held
Family Health runs on Google Cloud infrastructure and your information may be processed in countries other than
your own, including the United States. We rely on the safeguards offered by those providers for
international transfers.
How long we keep it
We keep your information for as long as your family uses Family Health. When an account or family is deleted,
the associated data is removed.
Children
Family Health is not intended for children and should not be used by anyone under 16.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, export or delete your personal
information, and to object to certain processing. Contact us and we will help.
Changes
If this policy changes materially we will update this page and the date above, and where appropriate
tell you in the app.
