No account required. SonoBuddy does not require you to create an account. You can use all core features without providing any personal information.

Support contact. If you email us for support, we receive your name and email address solely to respond to your inquiry.

Usage analytics. We use Google Analytics to collect anonymous, aggregated data about how users interact with the app — such as which features are used and session duration. This data does not identify you personally and is used only to improve the app.

Device information. Standard technical data such as device type, OS version, and IP address may be received for security and compatibility purposes.

We do not collect: your medical records, patient data, precise location, financial information, or any clinical queries you perform within the app. All clinical reference content is stored locally on your device.

• ✓Patient data of any kind
• ✓Real patient information entered into calculators
• ✓Location data

• ✓Health records

• To operate and improve SonoBuddy — Ultrasound Reference
• To respond to support requests you initiate
• To understand aggregate usage patterns and fix bugs
• To ensure the security and integrity of the app

We do not use your information for targeted advertising.

All clinical content — measurements, protocols, calculators, and pathologies — is bundled statically with the app. No clinical data is sent to any server when you use the reference features or calculators. The app functions fully offline once installed.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share limited data in these circumstances:

• Service providers: Google Analytics processes anonymous usage data on our behalf under their privacy terms. Vercel (our hosting provider) may log standard server access data.
• Legal requirements: We may disclose information if required by law or to protect the safety of our users.
• Business transfer: If SonoBuddy is acquired or merges, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

The app may use your device's local storage or service worker cache solely to enable offline functionality. This data never leaves your device and contains only app code and content — never any personal or patient information.

SonoBuddy is intended for licensed healthcare professionals and students 17 years of age and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us at contact us and we will delete it promptly.

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of any personal data we hold about you by emailing contact us. You may opt out of Google Analytics via Google's opt-out tool.

SonoBuddy — Ultrasound Reference is a reference tool only and is not a medical device, diagnostic tool, or substitute for clinical judgment. All clinical decisions must involve the ordering provider and interpreting physician. Do not enter real patient data into any calculator field.

If we change our data practices, we will update this page and the “Last updated” date above. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
