Privacy Policy

Last updated 9 October 2026.

What CuffScan handles

• Photos of your blood pressure monitor, which you take with the camera or pick from your photo library.
• Blood pressure and pulse values, dates, notes, and profile names you enter or confirm.
• Your settings, such as units, chart choices and reminder times.

This is health information, so we treat it carefully. It is stored in the app on your device. We, the developer, cannot see it.

How photos are read

Reading happens entirely on your device, using Apple’s on-device models and frameworks and CuffScan’s own decoder. Photos are not uploaded for reading, and the app does not need a network connection to do it.

When data leaves your device

Only through an action you take, each of which is optional:

• iCloud sync. If you turn it on, your profiles, readings and photos are stored in your own private iCloud account so they appear on your other devices. They are protected by your Apple Account and Apple’s terms. Nobody else, including us, can see them. Turning sync off does not delete what is already in iCloud; you can remove it in iOS Settings under your Apple Account, iCloud.
• Apple Health. If you turn it on, CuffScan writes blood pressure and pulse for the profile you choose to the Health app. It only writes and never reads from Health. You can switch it off and remove CuffScan’s readings from Health in the app.
• Exports and backups. A CSV export or backup file is created only when you ask, and you decide where it goes (Files, AirDrop, Mail and so on). Backup files contain your health data and photos, so keep them somewhere private.
• Feedback email. If you email us from the app, the message contains only what you write, plus the app version, iOS version and device model. It includes no readings or photos unless you add them.

Permissions the app asks for

• Camera, to photograph your monitor.
• Photos, only if you choose to pick an existing picture.
• Notifications, for reminders. Reminders are scheduled on your device and never mention your readings or health.
• Apple Health (write), only if you turn on Health.

The widget

The home-screen widget shows your latest reading using data shared between the app and the widget on your device only.

What we do not do

• We do not sell, rent or share your data.
• We do not use advertising, analytics or tracking tools in the app.
• We do not require an account.

Keeping and deleting your data

Your data stays on your device until you delete it. You can delete a reading or profile in the app, and deleting the app removes its data from the device. If you used iCloud sync or Apple Health, remove that data as described above. Backup and CSV files you saved elsewhere are yours to delete.

Children

CuffScan is not directed at children. A parent or guardian may keep a profile for a child on their own device.

This website

cuffscan.com is a static site. It does not use cookies, analytics or third-party scripts. Our hosting provider may keep standard server logs (such as IP address and pages requested) for security and operation.

Email

If you write to us, we use your email address and message only to reply, and keep them only as long as needed for that.

Not medical advice

CuffScan is not a medical device. It records what your monitor shows and does not diagnose, treat or advise. Always follow your doctor’s guidance.

Changes

If this policy changes, we will update the date above and, for meaningful changes, say so in the app.
