Application Analytics
Sensor Data
The application Sensor Data does not collect or store any user data.
If users decide to enable the usage of saving data to Google Drive, you will be asked to provide consent for the Sensor Data application to “See, edit, create, and delete all of your Google Drive files.” The Sensor Data application needs this permission in order to create files which you would like to save. The application will not see, edit, or delete any folders or files, but rather only create files based on the raw data collected on your smartphone. This permission is OPTIONAL and if you have any concerns about this permission, enabling saving to your local phone would be recommended.
Gait Analyzer
The Gait Analyzer app requests some user information, but ensures privacy is retained for all users, as no PHI is collected or stored. Protected information such as your birthdate is not stored, but rather used to compute the user’s age. Furthermore, gender, ethnicity, and anthropometric information will be utilized to allow for age-, gender-, anthropometric- and other group-based comparisons for evaluating gait and cognitive performance. No identifiable information will be requested, with users asked to provide non-identifiable usernames. For more information about your PHI, take a look at the following:

Improve
Similar to Gait Analyzer, the Improve app requests some user information, but ensures privacy is retained for all users, as no PHI is collected or stored. While an email address is required during account creation, you are free to create your account using any email address, contingent on your ability to verify access to the email account, without revealing your identity. Protected information such as your birthdate is not stored, but rather used to compute the user’s age. Furthermore, gender, ethnicity, and anthropometric information will be utilized to allow for age-, gender-, anthropometric- and other group-based comparisons for evaluating gait and cognitive performance.

Permissions:
Location information will only be collected if approved by the user, with only the State/Country level stored. No finer details will be collected, with location information used to identify gait and posture differences between populations.
Microphone and speech recognizer access will be requested in order to perform single- and dual-task cognitive evaluations. No audio or voice information will be recorded, but rather a list of detected words and the time of response as provided by the user to auditory stimuli.

Well-Being
The Well-Being application requests some user information, but ensures privacy is retained for all users, as no PHI is collected or stored. It is requested that a “username” not reveal the identity of the individual, with gender, race, grade in school, and name of the school requested to make general comparisons of results obtained. This application is made in collaboration with the Decker College of Nursing and Health Sciences at Binghamton University.
As grade-school children are the focus of this application, parental consent will be required prior to participation, with all information contained in the application being age-appropriate.
