Effective date: August 20, 2026

The Assessment of SpondyloArthritis international Society (ASAS) (“ASAS”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) operates the ASAS App (the “App”).

This Privacy Policy explains how the ASAS App handles information when you use the App.

Overview

The ASAS App is a clinical decision support tool intended for healthcare professionals. It provides validated clinical calculators and educational resources related to spondyloarthritis.

The App is designed to operate locally on your device. ASAS is committed to protecting user privacy and minimizing data processing.

The ASAS App does not collect, transmit, store, or share personal data or health information entered into the App.

Information Collection

The ASAS App does not require users to:

• create an account;
• register;
• log in;
• provide their name, email address, or other personal information;
• provide patient-identifiable information.

The App performs all calculations locally on the user’s device.

ASAS does not receive any information entered into the App.

Personal Data

The ASAS App does not collect or process personal data as defined by applicable data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Patient Data

The ASAS App is intended to assist healthcare professionals with clinical calculations.

Any clinical values entered into the App remain solely on the user’s device and are not transmitted to ASAS or any third party.

Users remain responsible for ensuring compliance with local laws and institutional policies regarding patient confidentiality.

Usage Data

The ASAS App does not collect:

• device identifiers;
• IP addresses;
• location information;
• advertising identifiers;
• analytics data;
• crash reports;
• diagnostic information;
• usage statistics.

No information about how the App is used is transmitted to ASAS.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

The ASAS App does not use cookies or similar tracking technologies.

The App does not use advertising SDKs, analytics services, or other technologies that monitor user behaviour.

Third-Party Services

The ASAS App does not use third-party services for analytics, advertising, profiling, or user tracking.

If the App contains links to external websites, those websites operate under their own privacy policies, and ASAS accepts no responsibility for their privacy practices.

Data Retention

The ASAS App does not collect or retain user data.

Because no personal data, patient data, or usage information are transmitted to or stored by ASAS, there is no data retention period.

Any information entered into the App exists only temporarily on the user’s device for the purpose of performing calculations.

Data Deletion

Since ASAS does not collect or store any user data, there is no user data held by ASAS that can be deleted.

Accordingly, no data deletion request is required or applicable.

If users wish to remove any information that may be stored locally on their own device (for example, application cache managed by the operating system), they may do so by clearing the application’s local storage or uninstalling the App.

International Data Transfers

The ASAS App does not transmit user data to ASAS or to any third party.

Consequently, no international transfer of personal data takes place.

Security

Because the App does not transmit or centrally store user information, the risk of unauthorized access to user data by ASAS is minimized.

Users are responsible for maintaining the security of their own devices.

Children’s Privacy

The ASAS App is intended for use by healthcare professionals and is not directed toward children under the age of 18.

The App does not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

ASAS may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.

Any changes will be published on this page together with the updated effective date.

Users are encouraged to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
