Who publishes this app
Health Bridge is developed and published by Uladzislau Rzhavitski, an individual developer, not a company. This policy applies to the Android application Health Bridge and to nothing else. There is no website account, no newsletter and no other connected service.
What data Health Bridge reads
After you sign in to your watch's app and give explicit consent, Health Bridge reads the following from it:
- Steps: your daily step count
- Distance: your daily distance, in metres
- Calories burned: your daily active energy, in kilocalories
- Workouts: the sessions your watch recorded, with their activity type, start and end time, distance, and the model of the device that recorded them
- Device labels: for each reading, which device produced it, meaning the device identifier, its model and the time interval the reading covers, so that a reading app can tell your watch from your phone
Access is read-only. Health Bridge never writes, edits or deletes anything in your watch's app. It reads nothing beyond the list above, and nothing at all before you have granted consent.
What the sign-in hands over
Signing in to your watch account is what authorizes the reading described above. The sign-in returns an account object, and that object carries more than the app asks for: an account identifier, a display name, a link to a profile picture, an access token, a country code, an age range and an email address.
Health Bridge does not read any of those fields, does not store them and does not show them anywhere. The object is passed straight to the reading component as proof that you authorized access, and it is gone when the session ends. Nothing in it is transmitted anywhere, because the app transmits nothing anywhere.
Where the data goes
All processing is local to your device. Health Bridge writes what it read into Health Connect, the health data store built into Android, on the same phone: your steps, distance, calories burned and workout sessions.
Every record it writes is stamped with this app as the source, and where your watch's app reported which device produced a reading, that device model is carried over as well, so a reading app can tell one device from another.
No data is transmitted to any server. Health Bridge has no backend, no accounts of its own, no analytics and no advertising or tracking components. Nothing is stored outside your phone.
Once the values are in Health Connect, apps that you have separately authorized in Health Connect can read them. That authorization is granted by you, in Health Connect, and can be withdrawn there.
What is never done with your data
Your data is not sold. Your data is not shared with, disclosed to or made available to any third party by Health Bridge.
No cross-border data transfer is performed.
What the app stores on your phone
Health Bridge keeps a small amount of bookkeeping in its own private storage on the phone:
- which metrics you switched on
- your chosen sync interval
- when the last sync ran, whether it failed, and the text of the last error message
- a snapshot of your latest totals so the dashboard can be drawn without reading anything back: today's steps, distance and calories, and your step counts for the last seven days
The last error message is diagnostic text, kept only so the app can tell you what went wrong. All of this lives in the app's private storage, never leaves the device, and is deleted when you disconnect.
How to withdraw your consent
Open Health Bridge, go to Settings and tap "Disconnect and delete authorization". This revokes the app's access to your watch's app, stops background sync and deletes the local data described above.
Values already written into Health Connect remain there, because they are your data in Android's own store. You can review and delete them in Health Connect at any time.
Children
Health Bridge is intended for people aged 18 and over. It is not directed at children, and data belonging to minors is out of scope.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the updated version will be published on this page with a new "last updated" date. Material changes will also be reflected in the app before they take effect.
