Respire AI
Privacy Policy and Terms of Use

Last updated: March 12, 2024

Privacy Policy

Overview
This Privacy Policy underscores Respire AI's dedication to the protection of your data privacy. It details our protocols for the collection, use, storage, transfer, and disclosure of your information obtained during your engagement with our service. Furthermore, it explains that by using our service, you consent to the gathering and application of your personal data in alignment with this policy. The document also clarifies your privacy rights, offering guidance on how you can manage your data preferences, including how to withdraw consent, thereby affirming your legal protections and control over your personal information.

This Privacy Policy constitutes a legal agreement between Dr. BreathE ("we", "us", "the service") and you ("you", "your") as the user of Dr. BreathE. If you do not agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy, we request that you refrain from using the service.
Data we collect from you and how we use it
Respire AI exclusively collects data that is relevant to the functionality of the service we offer.
Respire AI will collect all data you input into the app, including age, weight, sex, and additional information such as ethnicity, your snoring condition, and self-taken photographs. This comprehensive collection ensures you can fully restore your Respire AI data on various devices, maintaining continuity and personalized service.
We do not collect self-taken photographs and audio recordings unless they are explicitly provided to us by you.
When you use Respire AI, the application assigns you a unique anonymous identifier (UUID). This UUID helps monitor your app usage, interactions with different features, and gathers statistics on your breathing disturbances and snoring. Although it collects data, it's designed to ensure your personal identity remains undisclosed. A summary of these results is sent to our secure servers.

We leverage this data to drive research, innovate app features, and solve problems by conducting data analysis and experiments. This is to improve our products and services and to research how users’ results vary based on different criteria on an aggregate basis.

For example, we may study the relationship between users' selfies and their snoring, and understand the condition of snoring based on other data, including questionnaire data. The results of this research may be published within the app or elsewhere, but will not include any data that could personally identify you.
Image data
Respire AI does not automatically collect or store image data when using the app, nor does it access photos from your album without your permission. We only analyze selfies taken when you allow the use of the camera function. Before being transferred and stored on our server, these images are encrypted with a unique key for each user, providing a high level of privacy protection.
Audio recordings
Respire AI does not automatically collect or store audio recordings when using the app. When you allow the use of audio recording for the snoring recognition function, we do not store your original audio data, only the calculated snoring-related statistical values and results.

Please be aware that if you opt to disseminate your selfie and audio recordings via public channels, such as social media or email, or share them with healthcare professionals, they should not be deemed confidential. In such cases, Rspire AI disclaims any responsibility for any unauthorized manipulation or utilization of this information.
