Privacy Policy

This policy covers POTS, the iOS and Apple Watch app for running and tracking an at-home orthostatic stand test. We built POTS to keep your data on your own devices, not on a server we run.

Information we collect

Test data.Your stand test results, heart rate readings, symptom notes, and any report you generate are stored locally on your iPhone using Apple's SwiftData framework. We do not operate a backend server, and this data is not uploaded to us.

Watch data.If you use POTS on Apple Watch, heart rate data captured during a test syncs directly between your Watch and your iPhone. This sync happens through Apple's own device-to-device frameworks and does not pass through our servers.

Account. POTS does not have an account or sign-in system. There is no username, password, or profile tied to your identity anywhere in the app.

Purchases. If you buy Lifetime access, Apple processes the purchase through the App Store and shares your purchase and entitlement status with the app so it can unlock the features you paid for. We do not receive or store your payment details, Apple handles billing directly.

How we use it

Because test data lives on your device, we don't use it for anything, we don't see it. The app uses it only to show you your own history, build the report you ask for, and surface observational notes about your own readings over time.

If you use iCloud

If you have iCloud enabled for the app, your data may sync across your own devices through Apple's iCloud infrastructure, under Apple's own privacy terms. We don't have access to your iCloud-synced data.

Your choices

Since your data lives on your device (and optionally your own iCloud account), deleting the app deletes your local copy. You can manage or cancel a purchase's associated subscription, if any, anytime in your device's Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions.

POTS is not a diagnostic device, and this policy doesn't change that: the app measures and helps you track your own readings, it does not interpret them or store them anywhere we can see.
