Privacy & Safety Direction¶

This page describes the intended privacy and safety direction for SmartXDrip. The app is still planned, so details may change as implementation begins.

Privacy goals¶

SmartXDrip is intended to be local-first.

The current design goals are:

No required account
No SmartXDrip-operated glucose-data cloud
No advertising or analytics SDKs inside the SmartXDrip app
Local storage for glucose readings
User-controlled data sources
Read-only access to xDrip+ or Nightscout data
xDrip+ or Nightscout remaining the source of truth

Planned data sources¶

SmartXDrip is planned to read from:

xDrip+ local Web Service on Android
Nightscout through a user-provided URL and readable token

SmartXDrip is not planned to read CGM sensors directly.

Data handling direction¶

The intended model is:

xDrip+ or Nightscout collects the CGM data
SmartXDrip reads the data for review and analysis
SmartXDrip stores app data locally on the user's device
SmartXDrip does not write treatment decisions back to the source system
SmartXDrip does not replace the safety workflows users already rely on

If implementation requires any change to this model, the documentation should be updated clearly before release.

Website analytics¶

This documentation website uses Baidu Tongji to understand page visits and traffic sources. The purpose is to learn which public documentation pages are useful to the community and improve future docs and feedback discussions.

This website analytics script is separate from the planned SmartXDrip app. It does not mean the app will include advertising or analytics SDKs.

Medical boundary¶

SmartXDrip is planned as a personal data review tool, not a medical device.

It should not:

Diagnose conditions
Recommend insulin or medication dosing
Replace CGM alerts
Become the source of truth for CGM readings
Replace clinical guidance
Be used as the only basis for treatment decisions

Always consult a qualified healthcare provider before making treatment, medication, or dietary decisions.
