Artemis Tinnitus Care

Effective date: September 6, 2026

Before relying on this for launch: have someone with legal judgment review it — this draft is grounded accurately in what the app's code actually does, but it is not legal advice, and health-adjacent apps sometimes have jurisdiction-specific requirements (e.g. certain US state health-data laws) worth a second look.

Artemis Tinnitus Care ("Artemis," "we," "us") helps people manage tinnitus through personalized sound therapy. This policy explains what information the app collects, why, and how it's handled.

Who we are

Artemis is developed by Kobuk Technologies LLC. For any privacy question or request, contact kobuktechinfo@gmail.com.

Information we collect

Account information

When you create an account: your email address and the display name you choose. Authentication is handled by Firebase Authentication (Google).

Hearing and health information

This is the core data the app is built around:

Audiogram values — hearing threshold data at standard frequencies, either entered manually or extracted from a photo you provide.
Tinnitus profile — your answers about tinnitus sound character, location, duration, and hearing aid use.
Weekly check-ins — self-reported loudness, sleep impact, and quality-of-life scores you choose to log.
Therapy session history — which programs you've used and for how long, to track streaks and progress.

Audiogram photos

If you use photo scanning instead of manual entry, the photo is sent to our server, which uses Anthropic's Claude AI to read the threshold values off the image. The photo itself is not stored in our database — only the extracted numeric values are saved to your account. See Anthropic's privacy policy for how they handle data sent to their API.

Camera and photo library access

The app requests camera and photo library access solely to let you photograph or select an audiogram image for the feature above. Nothing is accessed or uploaded without you actively choosing to take or select a photo.

Subscription and purchase information

Subscriptions are sold through the App Store / Play Store. We never see or store your payment card details — Apple/Google handle payment directly. We receive subscription status (active, trialing, cancelled) from our subscription management provider, RevenueCat, to know what features to unlock.

Feedback

If you submit feedback in the app, we store the message along with your account email and display name so we can follow up if needed.

Device integrity signals

The app uses Firebase App Check, which confirms requests come from a genuine copy of the app using on-device attestation (Apple App Attest / Google Play Integrity). This does not collect personal information — it produces a cryptographic signal about the app installation, not about you.

How we use this information

To generate your personalized therapy recommendations and audio programs
To save your progress and history across devices
To determine your subscription tier and unlock Pro features
To respond to feedback or support requests
To maintain the security and integrity of the service

We do not use your health data for advertising, and we do not sell personal information.

Who we share information with

We share data only with service providers who help us run the app, each acting under their own privacy terms:

Provider	Purpose
Firebase / Google Cloud	Authentication, database, backend functions, hosting
Anthropic	Reading values off an audiogram photo, only when you use that feature
RevenueCat	Subscription status management
Apple / Google	Payment processing for subscriptions

Data retention and deletion

We keep your data as long as your account is active. You can permanently delete your account and all associated data — audiograms, check-ins, session history, and feedback — at any time from Profile → Delete account. This is immediate and cannot be undone.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, export, or delete your personal information. In-app account deletion covers the "delete" case directly; for anything else, contact us at kobuktechinfo@gmail.com.

Children's privacy

Artemis is not directed at children and is not intended for use by anyone under 16. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

Security

Data is encrypted in transit. Access to your data in our database is restricted to your account by server-side security rules — no other user can read your health data, and administrative access is limited and logged.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes materially, we'll update the effective date above and, where appropriate, notify you in the app.
