Comprehensive data handling practices, client-side storage disclosures, and Google Play Console compliance declaration.
The AIIMS Burn Rehabilitation Portal is an educational patient resource produced by the Department of Burns, Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, AIIMS New Delhi. Content presented on this portal (including videos, flashcards, nutrition guidelines, and meditation exercises) is intended strictly for general patient education and home rehabilitation guidance. It does NOT constitute individualized medical advice, clinical diagnosis, or a substitute for professional medical care. Always consult your attending burn surgeon or healthcare team for specific medical decisions.
The AIIMS Burn Rehabilitation Portal ("BurnCare", "we", "our", or "us") is dedicated to protecting the privacy of patients, caregivers, and medical professionals who utilize our digital health education platform.
This Privacy Policy outlines how our application operates, what information is processed, how local storage is utilized, and how we uphold patient privacy in accordance with international digital standards and Google Play Console Developer Policies.
BurnCare is designed with a privacy-first, offline-first architecture. We do NOT collect, harvest, or transmit personal identity data to external servers.
No user accounts, sign-ups, passwords, phone numbers, or email registrations are required to use BurnCare. You can access all educational modules freely and anonymously.
Our portal includes a feedback section where users may optionally type a name and feedback message. This input is handled strictly within the client user interface to render a confirmation toast message and is NOT stored in databases or transmitted across the internet.
In the Nutrition module, users can enter height (feet/inches) and weight (kg) to compute body mass index (BMI) and protein recommendations. These numbers are calculated entirely in local JavaScript and are never sent to a server.
BurnCare does NOT collect, store, or process medical records, clinical diagnostic data, prescriptions, treatment logs, or Electronic Health Records (EHR). All rehabilitation guides and checklists are provided for general educational self-care.
BurnCare does NOT request access to your device camera or photo gallery. The application does not allow uploading, scanning, or transmitting burn wound photographs, medical scans, or personal pictures.
Any data stored locally on your device is used solely to provide a personalized user experience:
All stored data resides 100% locally on your device using standard browser web storage (`localStorage` and `sessionStorage`). No central cloud databases, remote servers, or external storage systems are used.
Local storage data remains on your device until you manually clear your browser site data or uninstall the application container. Because data is never sent to our servers, we hold no retained user data on remote infrastructure.
Because BurnCare does not collect personal data, we do NOT sell, rent, trade, share, or disclose any user information to third parties, commercial advertisers, data brokers, or external entities under any circumstances.
BurnCare does not integrate third-party advertising SDKs, commercial tracking plugins, or external payment portals. All educational assets (videos, flashcards, audio guides) are served directly from the application bundle and local host.
BurnCare does NOT use artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning models, external LLM APIs, or automated diagnostic algorithms to process user inputs or evaluate health conditions.
BurnCare does NOT use tracking cookies or advertising cookies. We rely exclusively on client-side web storage mechanisms built into standard browsers:
| Storage Key | Type | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
burn_rehab_lang |
localStorage | Stores user language preference |
fc_* |
localStorage | Saves flashcard module progress and scores |
aiims_med_sessions |
localStorage | Tracks meditation session counter |
aiims_prog_* |
localStorage | Stores achievement badges & milestones |
aiims_tour_completed |
localStorage | Remembers onboarding tour completion |
aiims_hindi_prompt_shown |
sessionStorage | Session flag for language suggestion banner |
BurnCare does not use third-party analytics services (such as Google Analytics or Firebase Analytics) or third-party telemetry tools. We do not track individual user click behavior or app navigation paths.
Because user data is strictly confined to local storage on your device, risks associated with remote server breaches, database leaks, or unauthorized network interception are minimized. When accessed via web browsers, standard HTTPS encryption protects data in transit.
BurnCare is an educational portal suitable for patients of all ages, including pediatric burn recovery under parent or caregiver supervision. We do not knowingly collect or request personal information from children or any other users.
You maintain 100% control over your data. You can inspect, modify, or erase all stored information at any time without contacting an administrator:
Because all application data remains stored on your local device, no cross-border data transfers or international server processing occur.
We may update our Privacy Policy periodically to reflect enhancements to our portal or regulatory changes. Any modifications will be posted directly on this page with an updated "Last Updated" revision date.
If you have any questions, feedback, or inquiries regarding this Privacy Policy or portal data practices, please contact our medical department:
