Care Circle — Privacy Policy

Care Circle is a shared care log developed by Bounce & Grow LLC (“we”, “us”). Families use it to record care for a loved one — meds given, meals, visits, incidents, appointments. That information belongs to your family’s circle, and only to your circle.

Accounts

Care Circle uses Firebase Authentication so each entry can be signed by the person who made it. You can sign in with Google, Facebook, or Apple, or continue as a guest. Your account is used only to identify you as a member of your circle and to sign your entries under your name. We use Firebase (a Google service) to run accounts; sign-in data is encrypted in transit. If you sign in with Facebook, Facebook's login service confirms your identity to us — we do not use Facebook for advertising or tracking, and the app contains no advertising ID or ad tracking.

What your family enters

• Care entries you type: medications given, meals, visits, incidents, appointments, and notes.
• The care recipient’s profile, as typed by the organizer — routines, preferences, emergency contacts, doctor and pharmacy details.
• The names of circle members, so entries can be signed.

Your care entries stay on your device. Care Circle does not upload, sync, or share your family's care records — they are stored only in the app on the phone where they were entered, for the people who use that device. The care recipient needs no account and no login; if they would like, they can also open the app as the patient and follow their own routine. Nothing about them is public or searchable.

Health-adjacent information

Care Circle is a record-keeping tool. The notes in it are records your family enters — the app gives no medical advice, no diagnosis, and no dosing guidance, and it does not access health sensors or health-record systems. Medication names and doses are recorded exactly as your family enters them from the labels and your clinician’s directions.

What we never do

• We never sell your information or your family’s care records.
• Care Circle contains no advertising, and your information is never used for advertising.
• We do not share circle information with third parties other than the service providers that run the app (such as Firebase), and only so the app can function.

Deletion

In the app, open the Circle tab and tap “Delete my account” — that deletes your sign-in account and clears everything Care Circle saved on that phone. You can also ask us to delete your account and its associated data by contacting us at the email below, and we will do so. Because care entries live only on your device, deleting the app removes them with it.

Subscriptions

The family plan subscription is billed through Google Play on Android or the App Store on iPhone. Your payment is processed by Google or Apple under their privacy policies; we do not receive or store your payment card details.

Children

Care Circle is a tool for adult caregivers. It is not directed at children.

Changes

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted at this URL with a new “last updated” date.
