This policy explains how the Healthspan Android app handles your information. Healthspan is developed and published by Russell Fowler Limited, New Zealand.
Healthspan stores the profile details and health information you enter, including assessments, draft inputs, wellbeing questionnaire results and fitness recovery records. It uses this information to calculate results, display summaries and help you track your health over time.
Health Connect import is optional. With your permission, Healthspan reads resting heart rate, heart rate, heart-rate variability, blood pressure, VO2 max, steps, exercise sessions, sleep, height and weight to support relevant assessments and activity insights. You can use manual entry without granting access, grant only selected permissions, or revoke access in Health Connect or Android Settings.
Imported measurements are used in your Healthspan profile or assessment draft and saved locally when you save an assessment. Healthspan does not upload Health Connect data to a developer-operated server or use it for advertising. Revoking access stops further access but does not remove values already copied into Healthspan.
Your app profile and health records are stored in Healthspan’s private storage on your Android device. Healthspan does not have user accounts or a Healthspan sign-in, and the developer does not collect or store your app health records on remote servers. The app disables Android backup and excludes its private data from cloud backup and device transfer.
You can choose to export or share reports. Copies you save or send outside Healthspan are controlled by you and the services or recipients you select. Google Play handles Pro purchases under Google’s own policies; a Google Play account is separate from Healthspan, and deleting Healthspan data does not delete Google Play purchase records.
Locally stored profile details, drafts and saved health records remain on your device until you replace or delete them, clear Healthspan’s app data, or uninstall the app. There is no automatic time-based expiry for saved health records: they can remain for as long as you keep the app and its data. Limits on how much history is displayed do not delete older saved records.
The developer does not retain a server copy of these local health records and cannot restore them after you delete the app’s data. Exported or shared copies remain outside the app until you or the recipient deletes them.
To delete an individual saved record, use the Delete control in the relevant assessment, fitness recovery or wellbeing questionnaire history and confirm deletion. This removes the selected saved record; profile details, drafts and other records remain until separately changed or deleted.
To remove all locally stored Healthspan data, open Android Settings > Apps > Healthspan > Storage (or Storage & cache) > Clear storage (or Clear data), then confirm. Names vary by device. Clearing the cache alone does not delete your saved records. You can also uninstall Healthspan to remove its private app data; archiving the app is not the same as uninstalling it. If your device offers an option to keep app data during uninstall, leave it unselected.
Clearing app data or uninstalling removes the local profile, drafts, saved assessments, questionnaire results, fitness recovery records and app settings. No Healthspan account deletion is required. The developer cannot remotely delete data held only on your device.
These actions do not delete original records in Health Connect or another source app. Manage those records separately in Health Connect or the source app. To remove imported copies from Healthspan, delete the relevant local records and profile or draft values, or clear all Healthspan app data as described above. Delete exported files separately wherever you saved them, and contact recipients or services about copies you shared.
If you contact Healthspan by email, the developer receives your email address, message and any attachments you choose to send. This correspondence is separate from the health records stored only in the app.
To request deletion of personal information actually held by the developer, such as support emails or attachments you sent, email healthspan.contact@gmail.com with the subject “Healthspan data deletion request”. Identify the email address you used and the information you want deleted. You do not need to send your health records to request deletion. Use the same address for questions about privacy or help deleting local app data.
