The App provides a technical communication system enabling:

  • mutual Bluetooth-based device connections
  • transmission of predefined testing recommendations between connected users
  • delivery of system notifications related to such recommendations
  • optional access to independent third-party laboratory testing services

The App is not a medical service and does not provide healthcare.

3. Platform Distribution

The App is distributed via third-party platforms, including Apple App Store and Google Play.

Users acknowledge that:

Device permissions (e.g. Bluetooth, notifications) are used solely for App functionality and may be managed in device settings. Disabling permissions may limit functionality.

The App does not require traditional registration.

Access is based on system-generated identifiers, including:

  • Firebase Anonymous Authentication identifiers

No names, emails, or phone numbers are required for core functionality.

Users are responsible for device access. Loss or deletion of the App may result in irreversible loss of access to stored connection data.

5. Bluetooth Connections

Connections are established only through mutual user action via Bluetooth pairing.

Each connection:

  • is mutually created
  • is stored using system-generated identifiers
  • does not represent a real-world relationship status, identity verification, or health status

Users may delete connection history at any time, which removes active connection records in accordance with the Privacy Policy.
