You may choose to share reports or other messages generated by the App with others. If you do, the report will be sent to the person(s) you designate using other functionality on your device.
DATA COLLECTED AUTOMATICALLY
We may use tracking technologies to recognize you as you use or return to the App so that we can understand how the App is used, optimize user engagement with the App and customize and enhance your experience. These technologies collect certain data automatically, such as:
- Data about your device, such as your screen resolution, operating system, device manufacturer and model, and language. We use this data to ensure that the App functions properly.

DATA SECURITY
Your Personal Data is stored on your device. It is not transmitted to us. If you lose your device, you will also lose the Personal Data stored on it, and the data may be vulnerable to exposure, especially if you have not enabled secure access for your device (such as through a password or fingerprint authentication). In addition, if you choose to share reports or other messages generated by the App with others electronically, you are advised to first check the security features of your email or other applicable communications features on your device, as they do not operate within the App.
For your convenience, the App may give you the opportunity to back up the Personal Data stored on the App with a third-party storage provider. Pfizer has no responsibility for any data that you choose to share with that provider.
