Privacy Policy - PulseID

Introduction

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

PulseID is designed with privacy at its core. While some media processing may occur on secure remote servers, no data is ever stored—files are immediately deleted after processing.

Our Privacy Commitment

We do NOT collect, store, or transmit your biometric or health data to any external servers.

No data collection: Your heart rate and health data never leaves your device
No cloud storage: We do not store any biometric data on remote servers
No third-party sharing: Your health information is never shared with anyone
No analytics on health data: We do not track or analyze your biometric information

Information We Collect

Account & Subscription

When you create an account or purchase a subscription, we collect your email address and subscription status. Payment processing is handled entirely by Apple—we never receive your payment details.

Health & Biometric Data

With your explicit consent, PulseID accesses heart rate data from:

Apple HealthKit (read-only access to heart rate samples)
Connected Bluetooth heart rate monitors
Apple Watch via WatchConnectivity

This data is accessed solely to display your heart rate on screen and overlay it on photos/videos. The data is processed entirely on your device and is never uploaded, stored, or transmitted externally.

Camera & Photo Library

We request access to:

Camera: To capture photos and videos
Photo Library: To import media and save your creations

Media you create stays on your device unless you choose to share it.

When remote processing is used, your media is transmitted securely, processed immediately, and permanently deleted—nothing is stored on our servers.
