mBC Companion is designed to help individuals affected by metastatic breast cancer organize information, prepare for appointments, track questions, keep notes, and access educational and support resources.
We understand that information related to metastatic breast cancer can be deeply personal and sensitive. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, when we may share it, how we protect it, and what choices you have.
mBC Companion is not a healthcare provider, health plan, healthcare clearinghouse, or HIPAA-covered entity. We are not currently operating as a business associate of a HIPAA-covered entity.
This means that information you enter into mBC Companion may not be protected by HIPAA.
Even though mBC Companion is not HIPAA-covered, we still treat health-related information as sensitive. We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to help protect the information you choose to enter into the app.
mBC Companion does not claim to be HIPAA-compliant, HIPAA-certified, HIPAA-secure, or HIPAA-protected. This Privacy Policy is not a HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices.
mBC Companion is an educational, organizational, and support tool. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment recommendations, emergency care, or professional healthcare services.
Information in the app should not replace advice from your oncology team or another licensed healthcare professional. Always consult your healthcare provider about symptoms, treatment options, scan results, medications, side effects, or changes in your care plan.
Do not use mBC Companion for emergencies or urgent medical concerns. If you believe you may be experiencing a medical emergency, call emergency services or contact your healthcare provider immediately.

We do not use health-related information to target advertising to you.

These providers are permitted to use information only as needed to provide services to us.
User-Directed Sharing: If you choose to export, download, copy, or share your information, you are responsible for deciding what to share and with whom. Once shared outside mBC Companion, we cannot control how the recipient uses it.
Legal and Safety Reasons: We may disclose information to comply with applicable law, protect rights and safety, respond to legal process, or prevent fraud, abuse, or security incidents.
Business Changes: If mBC Companion is involved in a merger, acquisition, or transfer of operations, information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to continued privacy protections.
This app collects aggregate, feature-level analytics to understand how the tool is used and improve it.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to help protect information in mBC Companion from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
However, no website, app, database, internet transmission, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You use mBC Companion with the understanding that security risks cannot be completely eliminated.
Please help protect your account by using a strong password, keeping your login information private, and signing out when using shared devices.
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide mBC Companion, maintain your account, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and support legitimate business purposes.
If you delete your account or request deletion, we will take reasonable steps to delete or de-identify your information, subject to legal, security, technical, backup, or audit requirements.
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or export personal information we have about you, or to withdraw consent or object to certain processing.
