Privacy Policy for Ortho Photo

Effective Date: January 15, 2025

This Privacy Policy describes how Ortho Photo ("the App", "we", "us", or "our") handles information when you download, install, and use the Ortho Photo mobile application. Ortho Photo is designed for dental professionals and students to create standardized clinical photographs and documentation entirely on the user's device.

We take privacy and data protection extremely seriously. The App has been intentionally engineered to minimize data processing and to operate without transmitting information off the user's device.

1. Core Privacy Principle

Ortho Photo does not collect, transmit, store, sell, analyze, or share any personal data.

All functionality of the App is performed locally on your device. No information generated, entered, captured, or processed by the App leaves your phone unless you explicitly choose to export files using your device's own sharing features.

2. Information We Do Not Collect

To avoid any ambiguity, Ortho Photo does not collect or process:

  • Personal data of any kind
  • Patient data
  • Images, photographs, or media files
  • Names, dates of birth, or age calculations
  • Device identifiers (including IP address, advertising ID, or device ID)
  • Usage analytics
  • Location data
  • Contact lists
  • Health data or medical records
  • Payment information

Biometric Data

The App does not collect, store, process, or analyze biometric information, including but not limited to:

  • Facial recognition data
  • Facial landmarks
  • Facial geometry
  • Biometric identifiers or templates
  • Any identifiers derived from facial images

The App does not perform facial recognition, facial analysis, or biometric profiling of any kind.

3. Local-Only Data Processing

Any information you choose to enter into the App (such as patient name or date of birth) and any images you capture are:

  • Stored locally on your device
  • Processed locally on your device
  • Fully controlled by you

We do not have access to this information, and it is never transmitted to us or to any third party by the App.

4. No Accounts and No Cloud Services

  • The App does not require user accounts
  • The App does not offer cloud storage
  • The App does not sync data across devices
  • The App does not use external servers or databases

All records remain solely on the device unless you manually export them.

5. Exports and Sharing

Ortho Photo allows you to export files (such as PDFs or JPEG images) using your device's native sharing tools. Any export or sharing action is:

  • Initiated solely by you
  • Governed by the privacy policies of the destination application or service you choose

We are not responsible for how third-party apps, services, or platforms handle data once you export it.

6. Third-Party Services

Ortho Photo does not integrate with third-party analytics tools, advertising networks, tracking SDKs, or external APIs.

No third-party service receives any data from the App.

7. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

Because Ortho Photo does not collect or process personal data, most data protection regulations—such as the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)—do not apply to our operations.

Where applicable, any local data processing occurs solely under your control and responsibility as the device owner and user.

8. HIPAA and Medical Data Disclaimer

Ortho Photo is a clinical photography and documentation tool. It does not act as a data controller or data processor for medical information.

Because no data is transmitted or stored by us, we do not receive, store, or manage Protected Health Information (PHI) under HIPAA or similar regulations. Responsibility for compliance with medical data regulations rests entirely with the user and their device security practices.

9. Data Security

While no data is collected by us, we design the App using best practices for local security and privacy. Protection of the data stored on your device depends on:

  • Your device's operating system security
  • Your use of passcodes, biometric locks, and encryption
  • Your device backup and sharing practices

10. Children's Privacy

Ortho Photo is intended for use by professionals and students. We do not knowingly collect data from children, and no data collection mechanisms exist within the App.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect legal, regulatory, or functional changes. Any updates will be made available within the App or its listing. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.

12. Contact Information

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or Ortho Photo's privacy practices, you may contact our team.

13. Summary Statement

In short:

  • Your data stays on your device
  • We do not see it
  • We do not collect it
  • We do not track you
  • We do not analyze anything

Privacy is not a feature of Ortho Photo — it is the foundation of its design.
