Privacy Notice
Last updated: 18 July 2026.
Symply is operated by BranchX Limited, a company registered in Ireland. This notice explains what information Symply collects when you use the app, how we use it, how long we keep it, and the rights you have.
1. Who we are
BranchX Limited is the data controller for information you enter into Symply. You can contact us at privacy@symply.health.
2. Information we collect
- Account: email address, display name, preferred name, timezone, country, language, and accessibility settings.
- Health diary: voice recordings, transcripts you review, mood tags, symptom notes, medications and their schedules, medication events, videos and photos you upload as evidence, and documents such as letters and prescriptions.
- Care circle: invitations you send, permissions you grant to family, carers, or clinicians, and notes carers add to your diary.
- Reports and shares: structured reports you generate for appointments and the recipient-facing share links you create.
- Operational logs: audit events (who did what, when), signed-in device metadata, and error reports.
3. Why we use it (lawful bases)
- Consent for processing health data — you can withdraw this at any time from Account & Privacy.
- Contract for providing the app and its features to you.
- Legitimate interests for security monitoring and abuse prevention (e.g. rate limits, audit trails).
- Legal obligation where we must retain records to comply with applicable law.
4. Automated processing (transcription)
If you enable transcription, your audio is sent to third-party AI providers to be converted into text — see the sub-processors page for the current list and the transcription privacy notice for details. You can turn transcription off at any time and delete transcripts individually.
5. Sharing
We do not sell your data. We share information only in these cases:
- With people you explicitly add to your care circle, limited to the permissions you grant them.
- With recipients of share links you create — access is time-limited, revocable, and audited.
- With our infrastructure and AI sub-processors, listed on the Sub-processors page.
- Where legally required (court order, lawful request).
6. International transfers
Symply is hosted in the European Union. Some sub-processors (for example, our AI transcription providers) may process audio in the United States under Standard Contractual Clauses and, where available, the EU–US Data Privacy Framework.
7. Retention
You control retention for voice audio (keep, auto-delete after 7 days, or auto-delete after 30 days). Transcripts remain until you delete them. Structured data (medications, appointments, notes) is kept for as long as your account is active. When you delete your account, all personal and health data is erased after a 30-day cancellation window; audit logs referencing you are anonymised.
8. Your rights
- Access — export a full copy of your data from Account & Privacy.
- Rectification — edit medications, transcripts, notes, and profile fields.
- Erasure — request account deletion; grace period of 30 days.
- Restriction and objection — withdraw consent for health processing.
- Portability — the export bundle is machine-readable JSON plus your files.
- Complaint — you may lodge a complaint with your data protection authority (in Ireland: the Data Protection Commission).
9. Security
Access is enforced by row-level security. All connections use TLS. Passwords are checked against the HaveIBeenPwned breach list. Share links use hashed tokens and rate limits. See the Security page.
10. Contact and changes
For privacy questions or to exercise a right, contact us. We will keep this notice up to date and highlight material changes in the app.
