This privacy policy governs your use of the BladderSafe software application (“Application”) on a mobile device. The Application was created by the Patient Safety Enhancement Program (PSEP) at The University of Michigan (Ann Arbor, MI, USA). The Application includes a simple decision tree app based on our investigators’ published research regarding the appropriate use of urinary catheters for a variety of medical and surgical situations.
What information does the Application obtain and how is it used? User Provided Information – The Application does not obtain or store any user information. No registration is required to use the application; we do not provide a mechanism to register with us at this time.
Automatically Collected Information – The Application does not collect any information automatically. However, since the Application provides links to online content, the type of mobile device you use, your mobile device’s unique device ID, the IP address of your mobile device at the time that you access external resources, your mobile operating system, and the type of mobile internet browsers you use may be disclosed to the organizations that provide the resources to which we link.
This Application does not collect precise information about the location of your mobile device. No third parties see and/or have access to information obtained by the Application, since the Application does not collect nor store any information at all.
Data Retention Policy, Managing Your Information We retain no User Provided Information or Automatically Collected Information, so we also do not retain it. We do not store any information about you, so there is no need for a mechanism to manage your information.
Children We do not use the Application to knowingly solicit data from or market to children under the age of 13. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that their child has provided us with information without their consent, they should contact us at patient-safety [at] med.umich.edu. We will delete such information from our files within a reasonable time.
Changes This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time for any reason. We will notify you of any changes to our Privacy Policy by posting the new Privacy Policy here: https://catheterout.org/bladdersafe_privacy.html. You are advised to consult this Privacy Policy regularly for any changes.
Your Consent By using the Services, you are consenting to our processing of User Provided Information and Automatically Collected Information as set forth in this Privacy Policy now and as amended by us. "Processing,” means using cookies on a computer/handheld device or using or touching information in any way, including, but not limited to, collecting, storing, deleting, using, combining, and disclosing information, and all such activities will take place in the United States. If you reside outside the U.S. your information will be transferred to the U.S., and processed and stored there under U.S. privacy standards. By using the Application and providing information to us, you consent to such transfer to, and processing in, the U.S.
