Last Updated: 16/MAR/2025
Welcome to mRetinaAI, your AI-powered companion for advanced retinal care, thoughtfully designed and programmed by retina specialist Dr. Ameen Marashi. Protecting your privacy and maintaining the confidentiality and security of your information is our highest priority. This Privacy Policy provides detailed insights into our data practices, the nature of the data processed by mRetinaAI, and the rigorous measures we take to safeguard your privacy.
1. Information Collection and Use:
mRetinaAI has been purposefully engineered to protect your privacy comprehensively. It operates fully offline and does not collect, store, transmit, or share any personally identifiable data, sensitive patient information, or clinical records.
No Registration Required: mRetinaAI respects user privacy by not requiring any registration. Users do not need to provide personal identification details, email addresses, or any other personal credentials to use our services.
Local Processing Only: All operations, including data input, computations, diagnostics, and analyses performed by mRetinaAI, take place exclusively on your personal device. No data is ever sent to external servers or processed through cloud-based platforms, providing maximum privacy assurance.
2. Data Storage and Security:
mRetinaAI ensures all inputted clinical data remains securely within your personal device. Security is achieved by leveraging your device's built-in security frameworks and our robust internal data protection protocols.
No Third-party Access: Your data is never shared, sold, disclosed, or accessed by third parties. We strictly adhere to confidentiality practices, ensuring your clinical data remains solely under your control and on your device.
No Cloud Dependencies: mRetinaAI entirely eliminates dependency on cloud-based services, significantly mitigating risks related to data breaches or unauthorized online access. Data privacy and confidentiality remain guaranteed by complete offline operation.
3. AI Functionality and Diagnostics:
mRetinaAI harnesses cutting-edge artificial intelligence technologies to deliver sophisticated diagnostic capabilities specifically for retinal diseases, including diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, and numerous macular conditions. AI evaluations are executed solely on-device, with no internet connection required.
Accuracy and Efficiency: Utilizing advanced AI algorithms, mRetinaAI offers a high diagnostic accuracy rate of up to 85% for Fluorescein Fundus Angiography (FFA) and up to 80% for Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) assessments, optimizing clinical decision-making processes.
Professional Consultation Required: Although mRetinaAI is a highly accurate and supportive diagnostic tool, all its diagnostic results must always be reviewed, interpreted, and validated by a qualified retinal specialist. Clinical treatment or management decisions should never be based solely on the app’s AI-driven outputs without professional consultation and verification.
4. User Responsibility:
Users are encouraged and expected to protect their devices proactively from unauthorized access and potential breaches. Recommended protective measures include employing device-level security such as passcodes, biometric authentication, encryption, and regular updates to ensure the highest security for sensitive clinical information.
5. Children's Privacy:
mRetinaAI is exclusively intended for use by licensed healthcare professionals, ophthalmologists, and trained medical personnel. The application is not designed, nor is it intended, for use by minors or members of the general public.
6. Telemedicine and Remote Consultations:
mRetinaAI was designed with telemedicine capabilities to expand specialized retinal care access to underserved and remote regions. Despite its telemedicine functionality, mRetinaAI remains entirely offline, meaning remote diagnostic sessions or consultations never involve transmitting sensitive data through the app. Any external sharing or discussion of patient-specific data must be conducted independently and in strict accordance with local medical confidentiality regulations.
7. Updates and Changes to This Policy:
We maintain the right to update, modify, or amend this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect new security standards, regulatory updates, or enhancements to our service. Users will be informed about any changes through app updates or in-app notifications. We recommend users periodically review this Privacy Policy to remain informed about our continuing commitment to privacy protection.
