Privacy Policy

At Cognia, we believe that protecting the dignity, autonomy, and personal privacy of individuals experiencing cognitive decline is essential. This policy details how we handle data with uncompromising privacy safeguards.

Last Updated: September 14, 2026

Fundamental Guarantee

100% On-Device Computer Vision & Video Processing

Cognia utilizes real-time skeletal tracking (MediaPipe WebAssembly) to detect upper-body gestures and seated exercises.

Zero Video Upload: Video frames from your camera are processed entirely in browser RAM.
Immediate Frame Discard: Each video frame is discarded milliseconds after skeletal coordinate extraction.
No Facial Recognition: We do not store or scan facial geometry, biometrics, or photographic imagery.

Information We Collect

Minimal data necessary to deliver personalized therapy and caregiver visibility

Account & Authentication

  • Full name and email address.
  • Hashed passwords (for email sign-in) or Google account identifier (for Google Sign-In).
  • Role designation (Caregiver or Patient).
  • Patient-caregiver invite associations.

Clinical Telemetry & Progress

  • Exercise accuracy, reaction times, and round scores.
  • Daily session streak tracking and completion dates.
  • Baseline affective mood ratings recorded during check-in.
  • Algorithmic cognitive trend summaries for the caregiver.

Google OAuth & Third-Party Services

How Google user credentials and data are handled

When you authenticate using Continue with Google, Cognia requests read-only access to your basic Google profile identity (email address, full name, and avatar picture).

Limited Use Policy: Cognia strictly complies with the Google API Services User Data Policy.

• We do not sell your personal information or Google account data to third parties.

• We do not use Google account data for targeted advertising or marketing purposes.

• Google data is used exclusively to verify identity and maintain your unified Cognia profile.

Reminiscence Scrapbook & Personal Context

In accordance with Tom Kitwood's Person-Centered Care framework, caregivers may provide biographical preferences (e.g. hometown memories, favorite dishes, past professions) to ground therapy exercises in familiar identity anchors. This contextual data is isolated to your patient profile and is never published or exposed across accounts.

Data Retention & Account Deletion

Caregivers and patients retain full control over their records. Caregivers can delete patient profiles, reset telemetry history, or remove account links at any time directly through the Caregiver Dashboard. When an account is deleted, all associated telemetry and session records are permanently purged from the database.
