# Privacy policy

This Privacy Policy describes how Lattice Innovations Pvt Ltd (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and shares information through the NeoPORT Lite Android application. This app is designed to document the usage of infant warmers for neonatal stabilization and transport.

This app is designed for use by a data collection agency, duly authorized by the manufacturer of infant warmers. Data is NEVER collected by Lattice Innovations personnel or affiliates.

### 1. Information We Collect

We collect the following types of information:

#### User Account Information

* Phone Number: All users (Data Collectors, Administrators, and Viewers) must log in using their mobile phone number via Firebase Authentication. This is required for SMS-based One-Time Password (OTP) verification.

#### Patient and Clinical Data

Data collectors input information regarding infant warmer usage, which includes:

* Personally Identifiable Information (PII): Mother’s name and ID types (such as Aadhaar, ABHA ID, or health card numbers). Note: Per our data minimization recommendations, identifiers are collected only as required by the data collection agency.
* Sensitive Health Data: Baby’s sex at birth, birth weight, and body temperature readings at the time of device usage and handover.
* Facility Information: The location and type of healthcare facility (e.g., PHC, CHC) where the device was used.

#### Technical Data

* Role-Based Access: We track user roles (Owner, Admin, Viewer, or Data Collector) to enforce security rules and access control.

### 2. How We Use Information

We use the collected data for the following purposes:

* Service Delivery: To record and track infant warmer utilization and patient outcomes for clinical monitoring.
* Authentication: To verify user identities and prevent unauthorized access to the application.
* Oversight: To allow administrators and program funders (viewers) to monitor and audit data collection in real-time.
* Data Export: To provide administrators with downloadable reports (CSV format), where PII is masked with unique strings to protect patient privacy.

### 3. Data Sharing and Third-Party Services

We do not sell user or patient data. Data is shared only with the following entities:

* Manufacturer of infant warmers: As the primary owner of the data, the manufacturer has full access to the records created by their implementation partners.
* Firebase (Google): We use Firebase Authentication and Cloud Firestore for backend data storage and user management. Data processing is subject to Google’s privacy standards.
* Google Play Store: Necessary for app distribution and maintenance.

### 4. Data Security & Protection

We implement technical and organizational measures to safeguard data:

* Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): Firebase Security Rules ensure that data collectors can only access their own records, while viewers have read-only access.
* PII Masking: Identity details are masked in CSV exports to minimize the risk of data exposure.
* Compliance: Our data collection practices are designed to adhere to the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act requirements of purpose and proportionality.

### 5. Out of Scope Data

The NeoPORT Lite application does not collect the following:

* Real-time Location Tracking: No GPS or network-based location tracking is utilized.
* Offline Data: The app requires an active internet connection and does not store data locally for offline use.

### 6. User Rights

Users may contact the Owner to:

* Deactivate their account (historical data will be retained for audit purposes).
* Correct or update facility information.
* Delete individual records.
* Perform a complete data wipe of the entire system, leaving only the Owner's login credentials. To contact the Owner, please write to <info@thelattice.in>.
