This Privacy Policy explains how BactiFIND ("the App," "we," "us," or "our") handles information when you use our Android microbiology and clinical laboratory reference app. BactiFIND is an educational and reference tool for students, laboratory technologists and healthcare professionals. It is not a diagnostic device and does not replace professional clinical judgment, laboratory protocols or medical advice.
The App works offline. The following is saved only in the App's private storage on your phone. We cannot see it, and it is not uploaded anywhere:
The built-in reference library (biochemical tests, organism identification and comparison tables, grading and scoring calculators) is part of the App and involves no personal data.
This data is removed when you clear the App's storage (Settings → Apps → BactiFIND → Storage → Clear storage) or uninstall the App. If Android backup is turned on for your device, Android may include the App's data in your own Google device backup, which is controlled by your Google account settings.
The App uses Firebase Crashlytics, a crash-reporting service provided by Google LLC. If the App crashes or a page error occurs, Crashlytics sends a report so we can find and fix the problem. A report may contain:
Crash reports do not include your saved isolates, notes or any text you type. Crashlytics keeps crash data for about 90 days. Google processes it on our behalf; see the Firebase privacy and security information and the Google Privacy Policy.
The App asks Android only for Internet access, which is used for crash reports and the QR image described above.
Crash reports are used only to diagnose and fix errors and to improve the App's stability. We do not sell or rent any information, and we do not use it for advertising or profiling.
We do not share personal information. Crash reports are processed by Google (Firebase Crashlytics) as our service provider. We may disclose information if required by law or legal process.
Crash reports are sent over encrypted connections (HTTPS). Data you save stays in the App's private storage on your device, which other apps cannot read. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, so please keep your device protected with a screen lock.
The App is intended for students and professionals in the health sciences and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be shown by a new "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
