Information PainCanvas Stores
Depending on how you use the app, PainCanvas may store the following information locally on your device:
- Pain entries and symptom details you enter
- Body regions, pain types, intensity scores, notes, tags, and factors
- Medication schedules, medication logs, and follow-up responses
- Flare episodes and related tracking data
- Reminder preferences and app settings
- Optional security settings, including biometric lock preference and a hashed recovery password
- Optional weather snapshots attached to entries
Where Data Is Stored
PainCanvas stores app data locally on your device using on-device storage. PainCanvas does not require an account and does not provide built-in cloud sync.
Analytics, Advertising, and Data Sharing
PainCanvas does not use third-party analytics for behavioral tracking inside the app.
PainCanvas does not sell your personal information and does not share your health records for advertising or marketing purposes.
Location and Weather
If weather capture is enabled in the app build and you grant location permission, PainCanvas may request your approximate location while saving an entry so it can attach a local weather snapshot.
Location is used only to request current weather conditions. The app does not store a location history, and saved entries store weather information rather than raw coordinates.
If location permission is denied, unavailable, or weather is not configured, entries can still be saved without a weather snapshot.
Notifications
If you enable reminders, PainCanvas may schedule local notifications on your device for medication reminders and related follow-ups. These notifications are generated locally on your device.
Exporting Data
PainCanvas may let you export reports or share information using apps and services available on your device. Once you choose to export or share data, handling of that exported data is controlled by the destination you select.
Security
PainCanvas supports optional biometric unlock and an optional recovery password. Recovery passwords are not stored in plaintext; the app stores a cryptographic hash instead.
No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, especially if your device itself is compromised.
Deleting Your Data
You can delete your local data from within the app at
Settings -> Delete all local data. This removes locally stored
PainCanvas records from the device.
Children
PainCanvas is not directed to children under 13.
Changes to This Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. If it changes, the updated version will be published with a revised "Last updated" date.
