- What kinds of information are being processed?
The primary uses of this App are to provide information to users and to enable users to create a record of behaviour. We are able to obtain information on the number of app downloads by country. Information on the location of app users is not obtained.
On first login, users are asked to voluntarily provide information on care role, age range and gender.
To use the behaviour chart function, app users must create a login. The purpose of creating this login is to enable the user to gain full functionality of the app – including back up of their behaviour charts to cloud storage. In order to create a unique identity, app users must create a password and provide their email address and telephone number.
User data is encrypted between their device and host storage.
Data provided by app users will not be used to contact app users and will never be shared or sold.
The user has the opportunity to delete data. Deleting an account removes email address, telephone number and password from our storage and behaviour charts will no longer be identifiable.
This app has very limited data or privacy risk if accessed by children. Voluntary information provided on first downloading the app does not identify any individual user. As outlined above, an email address, telephone number and password are provided by users if they choose to use the behaviour chart function (an optional function). Should the information by provided by a child without parental consent, the user can delete their data as detailed in the paragraph above. That information is never sold, shared or used to make contact with app users.
App users have the following rights:
- To access personal data
- To rectify personal data
- To restrict use of personal data
- To object to processing of personal data
- To withdraw consent for use of personal data

The developers intend to ensure principles of data minimisation. We only collect personal data we actually need for the purposes specified in this policy. We do not hold more data than what is needed to fulfil those purposes.
- Retention of information
Information will be retained for 7 years.
App users have the option of deleting their account along with the backup of their behaviour charts. Deletion of account means email, phone number and password.
