Privacy Policy
Last updated: 08/13/2026
Welcome to Nisone (“we,” “us,” “our”). Nisone is a journaling and health‑tracking application that allows users to record personal measurements and to pool data with other users on the basis of shared independent variables such as treatment exposure and subpopulation specifiers. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information in accordance with applicable laws. Nisone operates in and provides its service to the United States and Canada.
By using Nisone, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
1. Information We Collect
A. Information You Provide
We collect information you provide directly to us, including:
- Name or username
- Email address
- Password
- Journal entries, measurements, studies and treatment guides
- Optional profile information (e.g., avatar, bio)
Your measurements are always private unless you explicitly choose to share them publicly, with the exception of being shared with the corresponding study author(s).
B. Automatically Collected Information
When you use Nisone, we automatically collect:
- Basic usage information (e.g., timestamps, feature usage)
- Cookies or similar technologies (if applicable)
We do not log your IP address.
We do not use analytics tools or tracking for advertising.
C. Sensitive Health Information
Because Nisone allows you to record health‑related measurements, we may process information that is considered sensitive personal data under certain privacy laws. We only process this information to provide the core functionality of the app and never use it for marketing.
D. Copyright Compliance Records
When we receive a claim that material published on Nisone infringes someone else’s copyright, we need to be able to identify the person who published that material. Your account email address is what identifies you for this purpose, together with the record of which studies and treatments your account owns.
In Canada, the Copyright Act (ss. 41.25–41.27) requires us, on receiving a notice of claimed infringement, to retain records allowing the person responsible for the material to be identified, and to keep them for six months. In the United States, these records support the repeat‑infringer policy we maintain under the DMCA (17 U.S.C. § 512). Your account details serve both.
We do not use these records for advertising. We do not voluntarily share them. We disclose them only where legally required — for example, in response to a valid copyright infringement notice or a lawful order (such as a Norwich Order).
2. How We Use Your Information
We use your information to:
- Provide and maintain the Nisone service
- Store and sync your journal entries, measurements, and treatment guides
- Allow you to share studies and treatments publicly if you choose
- Communicate with you about your account
- Ensure the security and integrity of the service
- Respond to copyright infringement claims (see Section 1.D)
- Comply with legal obligations
We do not use your private content for advertising or resale.
3. Legal Bases for Processing
We process personal data under the following legal bases:
- Contract: To provide the Nisone service and store your entries
- Legitimate Interest: Security, stability, and service improvement
- Legal Obligation: Compliance with applicable laws
- Consent: When you choose to create a study or treatment guide, contribute your measurements to a study, or to provide optional information
You may withdraw consent at any time.
4. DPF alignment
Nisone, LLC aligns its practices with the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (EU-U.S. DPF), the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, and the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (Swiss-U.S. DPF) as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce.

Disclosure to Public Authorities
We may be required to disclose personal data to public authorities when required by law, including in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.
U.S. Enforcement Authority
The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has jurisdiction over Nisone, LLC’s compliance with the DPF Principles.
5. How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information.
We share data only with:
A. Service Providers
Trusted companies that help us operate Nisone, such as:
- Cloud hosting providers
- Security and infrastructure providers
These providers may only use your data on our behalf for the purpose of providing our services. We do not share information which would allow them to associate any of your data to you.
B. Legal Requirements
We may disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights, users, or the security of the service.
C. With Your Direction
If you choose to publish a treatment guide, it becomes visible to others.
Your measurement log entries are never shared publicly.
Your measurement log entries are shared with the study owner.
6. International Data Transfers
We store and process data in the United States.
If you are located outside the United States, we use appropriate safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses) to protect your information when it is transferred internationally.
7. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have the right to:
- Access your personal data
- Correct inaccurate data
- Delete your data
- Restrict or object to processing
- Export/port your data
- Withdraw consent
- Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
You can exercise these rights by contacting us at hello.nisone@proton.me.
8. Data Retention
We retain your personal data for as long as necessary to provide the Nisone service or as required by law.
The copyright compliance records described in Section 1.D are your account details and the studies and treatments your account owns; they are retained for as long as your account exists. Where we have received an infringement notice concerning a study, the records for that study are preserved until the matter is resolved, as the law requires.
You may delete your account at any time. At such time, we will erase all identifiers from associated data and anonymize it unless retention is legally required.
9. Security
We use industry‑standard security measures to protect your data, including encryption in transit, secure hosting, and access controls. While no system is perfectly secure, we work continuously to safeguard your information.
10. Children’s Privacy
Nisone is not intended for children under 18, or under the age required to consent to data processing in your country. We do not knowingly collect data from children.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you before they take effect. Continued use of Nisone after changes means you accept the updated policy.
