We do not use your health information for advertising purposes. We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

Carelyn does not use, include, or send any of your data to a third-party artificial intelligence (AI) service. Your health information, personal data, and care group content are never transmitted to any AI service.

3. How We Share Your Information

3.1 Within Your Care Group

Information you add to Carelyn — including health vitals, medications, tasks, and journal entries — is shared with other members of your care group whom you have invited. You control who is in your care group.

3.2 Service Providers

We share information with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating the Service, including:

  • Supabase — database hosting and authentication. Your account and care group data (including health information you enter) is stored here.
  • Apple — App Store subscription processing. Apple handles all payment processing; we never receive your payment card details.
  • RevenueCat — subscription management. Receives only an anonymous user identifier to associate your subscription with your account. No health information or personal data is sent to RevenueCat.
  • Expo — mobile app infrastructure and push notification delivery. Receives only your device's push notification token.

The app also retrieves medication reference information from the U.S. Food & Drug Administration's openFDA database and the U.S. National Library of Medicine's RxNorm service. These requests contain only a medication name; no user identifiers, personal data, or health information is sent to them.

These providers are contractually obligated to protect your information and may only use it to provide services to us.

3.3 Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, court order, or governmental authority, or if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others.

3.4 Business Transfers

If Carelyn LLC is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you before your information is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

4. Data Security

We take the security of your information seriously. Carelyn uses:

  • Row-Level Security (RLS) to ensure users can only access their own care group's data
  • Encrypted connections (TLS/SSL) for all data transmission
  • Supabase's enterprise-grade security infrastructure
  • Secure, hashed password storage

5. Health Information

Important: Carelyn is not a covered entity under HIPAA and does not provide medical advice. The Service is a coordination tool and does not replace professional medical care.

Health-related information you enter is stored securely and accessible only to your authorized care group members. It is never sold to third parties or used for advertising, and is not shared with insurance companies, employers, or healthcare providers without your explicit consent.

6. Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a child under 13, please contact us immediately at hello@getcarelyn.com.
