Health Information & HIPAA Disclosure
Journey Tracker is developed and operated by Apex Development Studio LLC. This disclosure explains how Journey Tracker handles your health information and clarifies the app's regulatory status under HIPAA and applicable health privacy laws.
1. HIPAA Status
Apex Development Studio LLC develops and operates Journey Tracker as a consumer mobile application. We are not a HIPAA-covered entity as defined by 45 C.F.R. § 160.103. Journey Tracker is not a healthcare provider, health plan, or healthcare clearinghouse.
Your health data entered into Journey Tracker is not protected by HIPAA. The company has implemented AES-256 encryption, on-device storage, and iCloud private database isolation as described in the Privacy Policy. These safeguards are described in further detail throughout this disclosure.
Why HIPAA Does Not Apply
HIPAA protects health information when it is created, received, maintained, or transmitted by a covered entity or their business associates. Journey Tracker is a personal wellness application. The health data you enter is generated by you, stored on your personal device, and used only to operate the features you choose to use.
Applicable State Health Privacy Laws
Washington's My Health My Data Act (RCW 19.373) applies to Journey Tracker and imposes specific requirements for the collection, sharing, and deletion of consumer health data. Apex Development Studio LLC maintains a separate Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy to address MHMDA compliance. Additional state consumer privacy laws — including Virginia's Consumer Data Protection Act (CDPA), Colorado's Privacy Act (CPA), and the California Consumer Privacy Act/California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA, when applicable) — may provide additional rights. For details on your rights under these laws, see our Privacy Policy.
2. Health Information We Process
Through the app, you may voluntarily enter the following health information:
- Body weight, body fat percentage, muscle mass, and BMI
- GLP-1 medication name, dose, injection dates, and injection site rotation
- Symptoms experienced during therapy (such as nausea, fatigue, or constipation)
- Laboratory results including HbA1c, lipid panel, metabolic markers, and other values
- Hydration intake and fasting windows
- Health goals and personal notes
Additionally, with your permission, Journey Tracker may read certain health data from Apple Health (HealthKit), including body weight, blood glucose, blood pressure, and dietary water intake. See our Privacy Policy for full details on HealthKit integration.
3. Not a Medical Device
Journey Tracker is not a medical device as defined by the Food and Drug Administration (21 U.S.C. § 321(h)). Journey Tracker does not:
- Diagnose any disease or health condition
- Treat, cure, or prevent any disease
- Provide medical diagnoses or recommendations
- Constitute medical advice of any kind
Journey Tracker is a personal health data organization and tracking tool. All information displayed by Journey Tracker is derived from data you enter and is provided for personal informational purposes only.
4. Medical Disclaimer
The information and features provided by Journey Tracker are intended for general informational and personal tracking purposes only.
Nothing in Journey Tracker is intended to diagnose any disease or health condition; recommend or prescribe any medication or treatment; replace the advice of a licensed healthcare provider; or constitute the practice of medicine, nursing, or any other healthcare profession.
Always consult with your prescribing physician or other qualified healthcare provider before making any decisions about your health, medications, or treatment plan. Do not disregard or delay seeking professional medical advice based on anything you read or see in Journey Tracker.
6. GLP-1 Medication Tracking
Journey Tracker supports tracking of GLP-1 receptor agonist medications including, but not limited to, semaglutide (Ozempic®, Wegovy®, Rybelsus®), tirzepatide (Mounjaro®, Zepbound®), and other GLP-1 agents.
The medication tracking features in Journey Tracker are for personal logging purposes only. Journey Tracker does not provide dosing recommendations, does not verify medication prescriptions, and does not communicate with healthcare providers on your behalf. All medication decisions must be made in consultation with your prescribing physician.
7. Emergency Situations
If you believe you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 or your local emergency number immediately.
Do not rely on Journey Tracker in any emergency situation. Journey Tracker is not designed for and must not be used in emergency medical situations.
8. Reporting Adverse Events
If you experience an adverse event or side effect that you believe is related to your GLP-1 medication, consult your healthcare provider immediately. You can also report adverse events directly to the FDA through MedWatch at fda.gov/safety/medwatch.
9. Regulatory Notices
9.1 FDA Regulation
Journey Tracker has not been submitted to or reviewed by the FDA. It is not a regulated medical device. Journey Tracker is classified as general wellness software and as administrative support software under applicable FDA digital health guidance. The application does not perform clinical decision support that would require FDA clearance or approval.
9.2 No Prescription Verification
Journey Tracker does not verify that any medication entered in the app has been prescribed to the user or is being used as directed. Users are responsible for using all medications only as prescribed by a licensed healthcare provider.
