Privacy Policy

Last Updated: May 24, 2026

1. Data collection and storage

The Urology OT Register is designed with your privacy and the confidentiality of your patients as its highest priority.

• No Cloud Storage: All data — including patient information, operation records, OT schedules, DJ stent records, notes, and attached media — is stored exclusively on your local device (iPhone or iPad).
• No Transmission: This information is never transmitted to, stored on, or accessed by any external server or third party. We do not have access to your records.
• No Account Required: The app does not require you to create an online account or provide any personal information to use any of its features.

2. Device permissions

The app may request the following permissions. All are optional and used solely to provide in-app functionality.

3. Apple Watch companion app

The optional companion Watch app displays a read-only summary of your today's OT list and upcoming DJ stent removals. Data is synced directly from your iPhone to your Apple Watch using Apple's WatchConnectivity framework — a peer-to-peer, encrypted, local channel that does not involve the internet or any external server. The ability to mark a stent as removed from the Watch is queued locally and applied to the iPhone when next available.

4. Home screen widget & Siri shortcuts

The app provides a home screen widget and Siri shortcuts that display summary counts (pending stents, today's surgery count). This data is written to a shared App Group container on your device — it does not leave your device and is not accessible by any third party.

5. Data responsibility

You are solely responsible for the data you enter and store within the app. Because all data is stored locally, you are also responsible for securing your device against unauthorized access. We strongly recommend using a strong passcode, Face ID, or Touch ID.

6. Data backup and deletion

• Backup: Backups of your app data are managed through your standard device backup procedures (e.g., iCloud Backup or iTunes). We do not control this process.
• Deletion: If you delete the app from your device, all associated data stored within it will be permanently deleted.

7. Analytics

The app does not use any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking tools. No usage data or crash reports are collected.

8. Children's privacy

This app is intended for qualified medical professionals only and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

9. Changes to this privacy policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. You are advised to review this page periodically for any changes. The "Last Updated" date at the top will reflect any revisions.
