Privacy policy
Effective 6 November 2026. Published by ZeroTraction Productions.
PULSE~MH keeps your information on your own devices. We don't have accounts, we don't run servers that store your data, we don't sell your data, and we don't show ads or track you across other apps.
What the app keeps, and where
Everything below is stored in the app's private storage on your phone, and on your watch, PC dashboard and Pi dashboard only if you use them.
| Information | Examples | Where it comes from |
|---|---|---|
| Health and fitness readings | Heart rate, heart rate variability, resting heart rate, sleep, steps, distance, calories, blood oxygen, breathing rate, skin temperature, weight and body measurements, ECG recordings | Your watch or any other wearable (through Health Connect or Samsung Health, or the PULSE~MH Galaxy Watch app), or what you type in |
| How you feel | Mood check-ins, anxious moments you log, journal entries and their photos, wins, lessons and goals | You |
| Daily Check-offs | What you want to check off, details and times, and when you checked it off | You |
| Cycle | Period dates and symptoms, if you use the Cycle tool | You |
| Habits | Cigarettes and cravings, food and drinks, water, fasting | You, or a tap on your watch or a dashboard |
| Your day | To dos, reminders, routines and your weekly plan, appointments, alarms and timers, grocery lists and recipes | You |
| Money | Bills, pay days, receipts and their photos, and the prices of items you buy | You, or a receipt photo read on your phone |
| About you | Name, email, phone number, birth year and sex, if you add them; a profile picture | You |
| A support contact | The name, phone number and message for "I need support" | You |
The app uses this only to show you your information, work out your nervous system score and outlook, and run the features you turn on. Receipt photos and barcodes are read by your phone's camera and text recognition on the phone itself.
What leaves your phone, and why
- Your watch: the phone and your Galaxy Watch share readings, lists and taps over Google's Wear OS connection, directly between your own devices.
- Your PC and Pi dashboards (optional): if you pair one, your phone and the dashboard share a summary of your day, your lists and your plans over your home Wi-Fi, protected by a pairing code. This traffic isn't encrypted, so pair only on a home network you trust. The dashboard keeps its copy on that computer.
- Health Connect and Samsung Health: the app reads from them on your phone, only the types you allow.
- Food lookups: when you scan a barcode or search for a food, the barcode or search words are sent to Open Food Facts to find its nutrition. Nothing else is sent with them.
- Recipes from a website: when you add a recipe from a link, your phone loads that page and its photo from the website, the same way a browser would. Nothing about you is sent with it.
- Speaking a note: voice input uses your phone's speech recognition, which may send the audio to Google to turn it into text.
- Subscriptions: purchases go through Google Play. The app uses RevenueCat to check your subscription; it receives a random app ID and your purchase details, never your health information.
- I need support: when you tap it, your phone's own messaging app opens with your message to the contact you chose, ready to go. Nothing is sent until you tap Send there, and it goes through your mobile carrier like any text.
- Back up and restore: a backup is a file you save where you choose, such as your phone's storage or a cloud drive of your own. Keep it somewhere private: it holds your information. Android may also back up the app's data to your Google account if backup is on in your phone's settings.
- Links: buttons for YouTube or Spotify open those apps; their own policies apply there.
Permissions the app asks for
Health Connect (readings), camera (barcodes and receipts, read on the phone), microphone (voice notes), notifications and exact alarms (reminders, check-offs, alarms and timers) and physical activity. You can say no to any of them; the matching feature then won't work. PULSE~MH doesn't ask for your location, Bluetooth or permission to send texts.
Your choices
- See and change your information in the app at any time.
- Delete it all: uninstall the app, or go to Android Settings › Apps › PULSE~MH › Storage › Clear data. Remove the watch app the same way.
- PC or Pi dashboard: unpair it in the app's Settings › Devices, and delete the dashboard's data folder on that computer.
- Turn off Health Connect or Samsung Health access in their own settings.
- To have RevenueCat's purchase records deleted, email info@pulsemh.com.
Children
PULSE~MH is meant for adults aged 18 and over. We don't knowingly let anyone younger use it.
Security
Your data is kept in the app's private storage, which other apps can't read. Protect your phone with a screen lock; anyone who can unlock your phone can open the app.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be on this page with a new effective date, and the app will tell you about important changes.
