Privacy Notice

DRAFT · Last updated [date]

The short version

Who we are

CareCircle (a working name) is operated by [legal entity name], based in Winterville, North Carolina. Contact: [privacy contact email].

What we collect from this website

When you join the waitlist we collect your name, email address, ZIP code, and whether you are a family caregiver, an agency, or other. Our server also records the time of signup, the page you came from, and your browser type, to prevent spam and abuse.

What the app collects (once you use it)

[Confirm the final list of data the app collects, where it is stored, and which service providers process it.]

How we use it

Who we share it with

Only the people your family invites to your circle, including a home care agency if you choose to add one, and service providers that help us operate (for example, hosting and email delivery) under contracts that limit how they use it. We do not sell personal information. We may share information if the law requires it. [List service providers.]

Consent of the person receiving care

CareCircle is designed so the person receiving care knows they are part of the circle and can see what is shared. Families agree to set it up with that person's knowledge and consent. [Counsel to review consent requirements, including for people with reduced capacity.]

How long we keep it

Waitlist details are kept until early access ends or you ask us to delete them. App data is kept while your circle is active and deleted within [number] days after you close it, unless the law requires otherwise.

Your choices

You can unsubscribe from emails at any time, and you can ask to access, correct, or delete your information by emailing [privacy contact email].

Security

We use reasonable safeguards to protect your information. No system is perfect, and we will tell you promptly if a breach affects you, as required by law. [Describe actual safeguards once the production stack is final.]

Children

CareCircle is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information.

Changes

If we change this notice in a meaningful way, we will tell you by email or in the app before the change takes effect.
