RRate Privacy Policy<\/h1>

This policy applies to all information collected within the RRate app on Android devices and iPhone, iPad, or iPod.<\/p><\/div>\n

Information saved<\/h3>

Information entered in the RRate app is stored locally on your mobile device. It is not automatically sent to anywhere. The app is perfectly useable with no network connection.<\/p>

If the REDCap option and the export options are turned off, only the settings are saved. These settings are all options chosen on the app Settings pages. The settings are stored in ReactNative AsyncStorage except for the REDCap API token which is stored in Expo Secure Storage. All tokens used in external launches (from EMRs or an external app) are deleted after each session.<\/p>

The REDCap settings are described on the open-source\u00a0RRate app GitHub wiki page<\/a>, which also describes how to use the app using the SMART FHIR from another app using SMART on FHIR integration. If the REDCap or Export to a file options are turned on, then each measurement of respiratory rate is saved temporarily on the device in AsyncStorage. Each one is deleted once successfully uploaded to your REDCap project or after being exported to a file. File export is to a .csv file and the user explicitly chooses how to share this file with the standard share options shown depending on the other apps they have installed.\u00a0<\/p>

Information usage<\/h3>

The developers have no access to any data you collect. If you enter REDCap details for your instance of REDCap, these details are used to send the RRate measurement data directly to your instance of REDCap securely. The app acts as an HTTPS client, so the REDCap instance needs SSL setup with a valid certificate.<\/p>

If you setup an EMR to use this app using the SMART on FHIR protocol the app uses the Proof Key for Exchange security alongside the OAuth2.0 authentication process.<\/p>
