aCare Home is a companion app for Parkinson's disease patients and their
caregivers, helping manage daily routines and physical activity. Features
include medication reminders, a rhythm-based walking assistant, a
Parkinson's community hub, and activity tracking.

aCare Home works fully on your phone and does not require any external
device. It can optionally connect to a compatible smartwatch (e.g.
Wear OS/Galaxy Watch) to enhance activity tracking, but all core features
work without a paired wearable.

aCare Home is not a medical device. It is not intended to diagnose,
treat, cure, or prevent any disease or medical condition, and should not
replace advice from a qualified healthcare professional. Always consult
your doctor regarding your treatment plan.

Background Data Collection Disclosure
When a compatible smartwatch is connected, aCare Home collects the following sensor data to power activity tracking and the walking assistant:

* Accelerometer and gyroscope data, sampled at 50 Hz
* Heart rate data, sampled at 1 Hz

This data is collected continuously from the watch and transmitted to your phone, where a background service keeps running — including when aCare Home is not open or visible on screen — in order to relay your movement and heart rate data to aCare Home's secure server for processing and to generate your activity insights.

Why the background service stays active: Continuous, uninterrupted data collection is required so that activity trends, gait patterns, and walking-assistant performance remain accurate throughout the day, not just while the app is open.

What this means for you:

* The background service will continue running and using battery and data in the background while a smartwatch is connected and this feature is enabled.
* You can disable smartwatch connectivity and background activity tracking at any time in the app's settings.
* Data collected is used solely to power the app's activity-tracking and walking-assistant features, as described in aCare Home's Privacy Policy.
* No sensor data is collected from the phone or watch unless a compatible smartwatch is actively connected and this feature has been enabled by the user.
