Privacy policy
Last updated: June 2025. This policy describes how the Ambar app handles information in the local-first model.
Summary
Ambar is a personal health folder. Your data is yours. By default, it stays on your iPhone. We do not sell health data or use your records for advertising or health tracking.
Health data
The app may store information you record: symptoms, appointments, exams, treatments, notes and documents (such as PDFs). This data is considered sensitive and is handled carefully on the device.
Local storage
Ambar saves data on your iPhone first. The app's core operation does not depend on a central server holding your health records.
iCloud (optional)
If you enable iCloud sync, a copy of data may be stored in your Apple account via CloudKit, subject to Apple's policies and security. iCloud is optional.
HealthKit / Health app (optional)
With your explicit permission in iOS, Ambar can read or write authorized categories in the Health app. You control which data types are shared. Ambar does not automatically access everything in the Health app.
Calendar and Reminders (optional)
If you allow it, the app can create or read events and reminders related to your care. These permissions are optional and controlled by iOS.
Documents and PDFs
Files you attach stay in app storage (and in iCloud, if enabled). When you export a .ambar file, you create a copy that may contain sensitive data — share only with people you trust.
Subscription via Apple
Payments and subscriptions are processed by the App Store. Ambar does not store your full card details. Subscription information follows Apple's rules.
What we do not do
- We do not sell health data.
- We do not use your clinical records for advertising.
- We do not track health for marketing purposes.
- This website (webambar.app) does not collect or store your app data.
Data deletion
You can delete records in the app or remove the app from your iPhone. If you used iCloud, check Apple settings to manage cloud data.
Export
You can export your data as a .ambar file. Export is a snapshot — it does not automatically sync with other people.
Email support
If you contact suporte@webambar.app, send only what is needed to resolve your issue.
Do not send exams, ID numbers, documents or sensitive information by email unless truly necessary and you are comfortable doing so.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the app evolves. The date at the top indicates the latest version. Relevant changes will be reflected on this page.
