Privacy Policy

App: Cognitive Assessments  |  Last updated:

1. Overview

Cognitive Assessments ("the App") is a free clinical reference tool that assists healthcare professionals and trained caregivers in administering validated cognitive screening instruments, including the SLUMS, RUDAS, and AD8 assessments. This Privacy Policy explains our data practices in full.

2. For Reference Only — Not a Medical Device

The App is intended solely as a reference aid and scoring tool. It does not provide medical diagnoses, clinical recommendations, or treatment plans. Scores and interpretations generated by the App are screening results only and must not be used as the sole basis for any clinical decision. Users should always consult a licensed healthcare provider for diagnosis and treatment.

3. Data We Do Not Collect

We do not access, collect, use, transmit, or share any personal or sensitive information, including but not limited to:

No data is ever transmitted to any server, third party, or external service.

4. Local Storage (Anonymous Session History)

The App provides an optional anonymous session history feature. Any scores saved through this feature are stored exclusively on your device using local on-device storage. This data:

5. Permissions

The App does not request any dangerous or runtime permissions. The only system capability used is the device's built-in text-to-speech engine (to optionally read assessment story text aloud), which does not access the microphone or any personal data.

6. Health App Policy Compliance

Although this App relates to cognitive health screening, it does not access, collect, or process any health or fitness data as defined by Google Play's Health Apps Policy. The App functions as an interactive scoring reference only. No health-related data is read from or written to the device's health data stores (e.g., Google Fit, Health Connect).

7. Children's Privacy

This App is intended for use by healthcare professionals and adult caregivers. It is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect any information from children.

8. Third-Party Services

The App does not integrate any third-party analytics, advertising, crash-reporting SDKs, or social login services. The Donate link within the App navigates to Ko-fi (ko-fi.com), an external website governed by its own privacy policy. No user data is shared with Ko-fi.

9. Medical Literature

All assessment content incorporated in this App is derived exclusively from peer-reviewed medical literature and validated clinical instruments. No proprietary or unverified content is included. Relevant references are available within the Credits section of each assessment.

10. Changes to This Policy

If this policy is updated, the revised version will be posted at this URL with an updated date. Continued use of the App after any update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
