myPolarmyPolar Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 7, 2026
This policy is for residents of Washington, Nevada and other US states with consumer health data laws, including the Washington My Health My Data Act and Nevada Senate Bill 370. It explains how Anastasia Shapovalova, who runs myPolar ("myPolar", "we", "us"), collects, uses and shares your consumer health data — personal information that identifies or could reasonably be linked to you and relates to your past, present or future physical or mental health.
It supplements our Privacy Policy, which describes all our processing in detail. If the two differ for consumer health data, this policy applies.
1. Consumer health data we collect
| Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| Mental health and mood | Mood check-ins, the states you pick and their intensity, diary entries, voice recordings and their transcripts, tags, hypotheses about your mood |
| Diagnosis | A diagnosis you choose to tell us about |
| Medication | Medication names, doses, schedules, whether a dose was taken; side effects |
| Bodily functions and vital signs | Sleep, steps, heart rate, resting heart rate, heart-rate variability, weight, height, workouts, mindfulness sessions — from Health Connect or Apple Health, only the types you allow |
| Reproductive health | Menstrual periods and their flow, from Health Connect or Apple Health, only if you allow it |
| Substance use and gambling | Optional information about alcohol, drugs, energy drinks or gambling |
| Crisis signals | Detected crisis signals, their validation and acknowledgements by your circle |
| Inferences | The fact that you use myPolar, a mood-tracking app, and data derived from the categories above |
| Website and email | Your email address and website activity, to the extent they suggest an interest in mood-related health services |
2. Where it comes from
- You, when you use the app or our website.
- Health Connect (Android) or Apple Health (iOS), only the types you allow.
- Our own software, which generates transcripts, tags, hypotheses and crisis signals from your data.
- People in your circle, when they validate a crisis signal or, if they are your doctor, write notes.
3. Why we collect and use it
- to provide the app: store and show your data, charts, reminders, hypotheses and crisis signals;
- to share data with the people you choose, only in the layers you turn on;
- with a separate consent, for our own clinical research and to improve our own algorithms, using de-identified data that excludes Health Connect and Apple Health data (Privacy Policy §11);
- to keep the service secure and comply with the law.
We collect consumer health data only with your consent or as necessary to provide the service you asked for.
4. Who we share it with
| Recipient | What | Why |
|---|---|---|
| People you invite into your circle (doctor, support person) | Only the layers you turn on for each person | Your choice |
| Our service providers (processors): Amazon Web Services (hosting and email delivery), Google and Apple (push notifications), RevenueCat (subscriptions) | What they need to provide their service, under contracts that forbid other use | Running the service |
| Advertising platforms: Meta, Google | Only if you accepted marketing cookies on our website or ticked the separate box to receive ads when you left your email on our website: website activity and the hashed email you left on our website | Showing you myPolar ads |
| Authorities | Only when the law requires it | Legal obligation |
We never share with advertising platforms what you record in the app, data from Health Connect or Apple Health, your diagnosis, medication or crisis events. The email of your myPolar account is never used for advertising.
Sharing with advertising platforms requires your separate consent, which is not a condition of using myPolar.
5. We do not sell your consumer health data
We do not sell consumer health data and will not sell it without your signed, valid authorization as required by law.
We do not use geofencing around places where health services are provided.
6. Your rights
You have the right to:
- confirm whether we collect, share or sell your consumer health data, and access it, including a list of all third parties and affiliates with whom we shared it and their contact details;
- withdraw consent to collection and to sharing at any time;
- delete your consumer health data. In the app: Settings → Delete account — deletion from our live systems is immediate. We also notify our processors and the third parties we shared it with to delete it.
To use these rights, write to privacy@mypolar.ai or use the app. We will respond within 45 days; if we need more time, we may extend this once by another 45 days and will tell you why. We may need to confirm that the request comes from you. We will not discriminate against you for using your rights.
Appeal. If we refuse your request, you can appeal by replying to our decision or writing to privacy@mypolar.ai with the subject "Appeal". We will answer within 45 days and explain our decision. If you are not satisfied, you can contact the Washington State Attorney General at atg.wa.gov/file-complaint or the Nevada Attorney General at ag.nv.gov.
7. Security
We protect consumer health data with encryption in transit and at rest, access limited to people who need it, and logs that never contain health values. See §13 of the Privacy Policy.
8. Changes and contact
If we change this policy in a way that affects how we use your consumer health data, we will ask for your consent before the change applies to you.
