Privacy
Privacy policy
Effective: 2 July 2026 · Version 1.0 · Applies to the Onubotmobile app (Android & iOS) and related services
This policy explains how Onubot collects, uses, shares, protects, and retains your information when you use our AI-powered medical assistant. Onubot lets you chat with an AI health assistant, scan medical documents for automatic record extraction, maintain a health profile with BMI tracking, discover doctors and book appointments, make in-app payments, and hold live video consultations with doctors. Because Onubot handles sensitive health data, please read this policy carefully. By using Onubot, you agree to the practices described here and to the separate Informed Consent for Telemedicine.
1. Who we are & scope
Onubot("we", "us", "our") is operated by AnchorBlock. This policy covers the Onubotapp and its backend services. It does not cover third-party services you reach through links, or the independent practices of the doctors you consult, who are registered medical practitioners bound by their own professional confidentiality duties and, where applicable, the Bangladesh Medical & Dental Council (BMDC) Telemedicine Guidelines. For any privacy question or request, contact us at privacy@onubot.app.
2. Information we collect
We collect what we need to provide the assistant and connect you with care. Items marked sensitive receive additional protection. Some information you provide directly; some is collected automatically.
Account & identity
Name, email, phone number, password, and Google Sign-In profile data when you register.
Health profile
SensitiveAge, gender, height, weight, BMI, and other health details you enter.
Medical documents & EMR data
SensitivePrescriptions and lab reports you scan or upload, and the structured medical information (medicines, diagnoses, test values) our AI extracts from them.
Chat content
SensitiveThe questions, symptoms, and messages you send to the AI assistant, plus optional voice input (converted via speech-to-text).
Appointments & consultations
SensitiveDoctors you select, bookings, and information exchanged during video consultations.
Payment data
Transactions are processed by our third-party payment gateway (EPS hosted checkout). We do not store full card numbers on our servers.
Device & app data
Device model, operating system, app version, language, crash logs, diagnostics, and in-app usage collected to improve the service (e.g. via Firebase).
Identifiers & tokens
A device push-notification token (Firebase Cloud Messaging) and app-integrity signals (Firebase App Check).
3. How we use your information
- To provide core features: AI chat, document scanning and EMR extraction, BMI tracking, doctor discovery, booking, payments, and video consultations.
- To generate AI responses and extract data from your documents (see Section 5).
- To sync your data across sessions and support offline access via a secure on-device cache.
- To send appointment reminders, consultation alerts, and service notifications.
- To process payments and provide receipts.
- To maintain security, prevent fraud and abuse, debug, and improve reliability and quality.
- To comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms.
We never sell your personal information, and we do not use your identifiable health data to train third-party public models.
4. Live video & voice consultations
Video consultations are delivered over an encrypted real-time connection (LiveKit) so only you and your doctor can see and hear the session. We do not record video consultations by default. Where a recording (audio or session metadata) is needed for quality assurance, dispute resolution, clinical audit, or safety, we will ask for your explicit consent first, and access is limited to authorised personnel on a need-to-know basis. If you do not consent, the consultation may proceed without recording.
5. Artificial intelligence processing
Onubot uses AI (Google Genkit with Gemini models) to power the chat assistant and to read and structure the medical documents you upload. When you use these features, the relevant content (your message, or the document image or text) is sent securely to the AI service to generate a response or extract records. AI output is provided for informational and supportive purposes and is not a substitute for professional medical diagnosis or treatment. We do not use your identifiable health data to train third-party public models. Any use of de-identified data to improve Onubot's own quality is done in aggregate.
6. How we share information
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only as needed, and each recipient is bound to protect your data:
| Recipient | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Doctors you consult | To deliver appointments, consultations, and follow-up care. |
| Service providers (sub-processors) | Firebase / Google Cloud (auth, database, storage, functions, messaging, analytics), Genkit / Gemini (AI), LiveKit (video), and the EPS payment gateway, each bound to protect your data. |
| Legal & safety | To comply with law, court orders, or to protect the rights, safety, and life of you or others. |
| Business transfers | In a merger, acquisition, or reorganisation, with notice where required. |
Where feasible, personal identifiers are separated or de-identified before data is used for analytics or improvement.
7. Data storage, security & retention
Security.We apply administrative, technical, and physical safeguards: encrypted transport (TLS), encrypted video, restricted access controls, Firebase Authentication and App Check, and a secured cloud backend. Your on-device cache is stored in the app's private storage. No system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security; you are responsible for protecting your password and device.
Retention. Account and health-profile data are retained while your account is active. Medical documents, extracted records, and consultation history are retained for as long as needed to provide continuity of care or to meet legal and regulatory requirements, after which they are securely deleted or de-identified. On deletion, data is removed from active systems; limited copies may persist in backups for a short period before being overwritten.
Breach notification. If we become aware of a data breach that affects your personal information, we will notify affected users and relevant authorities as required by law, and take prompt steps to contain and remediate it.
8. Your rights & choices
- Access and export a copy of your data and medical records.
- Correct or update inaccurate profile or health information.
- Delete your account and associated data (subject to legal retention limits).
- Withdraw consent for optional processing, recordings, or marketing at any time.
- Manage notifications and revoke device permissions (camera, microphone, location) in your settings.
Delete your account or data: you can request deletion in three ways:
- On the web: use our account & data deletion request page.
- In the app: from your account settings, or withdraw patient-data consent to stop optional processing.
- By email: write to privacy@onubot.app with the subject "Data deletion request".
9. Children & family profiles
Onubotis not intended for independent use by anyone under 18. A parent or legal guardian may enter a minor's health information on their behalf and is responsible for that data. We do not knowingly collect data directly from children. If you believe a child has provided us information without guardian consent, contact us and we will delete it.
10. Permissions we request
The Onubot app requests these permissions. Each is used only for the purpose below, and you can deny or revoke any of them in your device settings.
