Privacy Policy

Effective Date: June 27, 2026

Overview

MyHealthRelay ("the App") is an iPhone app developed by James Baker that reads Apple Health data, displays a customizable dashboard, and generates a one-page PDF summary for sharing with your healthcare provider. This Privacy Policy explains how the App handles information when you use it.

Apple Health Access

With your explicit permission via the standard iOS Health permission dialog, the App reads the following data types from Apple Health to display them in the dashboard and PDF report:

• Body weight, body fat percentage
• Blood pressure (systolic, diastolic)
• Step count, active energy burned
• Sleep analysis
• Resting heart rate, heart rate variability

With your permission, the App also writes the following data types to Apple Health (used only when you import historical data from a Google Takeout):

• Body weight, body fat percentage
• Step count
• Sleep analysis

You can review and revoke these permissions at any time in iOS Settings → Health → Data Access & Devices → MyHealthRelay.

On-Device Processing Only

Health data read from or written to Apple Health stays on your iPhone. The App has no backend servers, no user accounts, and no cloud sync. The PDF report is generated locally on your device. When you share it (via AirDrop, Messages, email, or the system share sheet), iOS handles the transfer — MyHealthRelay does not see or store the recipient.

Google Takeout Import (Optional)

The App optionally lets you import a Google Takeout ZIP file containing historical Fitbit / Google Health data. When you choose a file via the iOS file picker:

• The ZIP is unzipped into a temporary folder on your device
• Weight, body fat, step, and sleep data are parsed and written to Apple Health
• The temporary folder is deleted as soon as the import finishes
• The ZIP file itself is not modified, copied elsewhere, or transmitted

Advertising — Google AdMob

The App displays a small banner advertisement from Google AdMob at the bottom of the dashboard to support free distribution. The Google Mobile Ads SDK may collect a limited set of identifiers to serve and measure ads:

• Device identifier (IDFA): only if you grant App Tracking Transparency permission. If you deny, AdMob serves non-personalized ads using only coarse, non-identifying signals.
• Device type and OS version for ad format compatibility
• Approximate region (derived from IP) for ad targeting and frequency capping

Google's use of this data is governed by the Google Privacy Policy and AdMob & AdSense policies. Your Apple Health data is never shared with the ad SDK or used for ad targeting.

Tracking Transparency

On first launch, after the Health permission dialog, iOS will display Apple's standard "Allow MyHealthRelay to track your activity across other companies' apps and websites?" prompt. Granting allows AdMob to serve personalized ads using your device's advertising identifier. Denying limits AdMob to non-personalized ads. Either choice is fully compatible with the App. You can change your answer at any time in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.

Data We Do NOT Collect

MyHealthRelay does not collect, transmit, or sell:

• Your name, email address, account information, or contact list
• Your Apple Health data — it stays on your iPhone
• The contents of the PDF reports you generate or share
• Your precise location or GPS data
• Usage analytics, behavioral data, or crash reports beyond Apple's standard system reporting

Children's Privacy

MyHealthRelay is rated 4+ in the App Store and is not directed at children under the age of 13. It does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
