PrEPsmart Privacy Policy

Mountain Dev and Bridge HIV at the San Francisco Department of Public Health (“us”, “we”, or “our”) operates PrEPsmart (the “App”). This Privacy Policy outlines the types of information we gather, as well as some of the steps we take to safeguard it.

Information Collection

When you enroll in the PrEPsmart study, you will be asked to enter personal information into the app including your full name, contact information, and information related to your sexual health and activities. We will not share any of your personal information beyond our study staff or those who watch over our study to see that we are protecting your rights, keeping you safe, and following the study plan.

We will maintain all your information on a secure, encrypted server via a secure, password–protected login. Any data from which you can be identified will be securely encrypted in transit to us from the PrEPsmart App. We are committed to protecting your privacy and will take all reasonable steps to make sure that your data are treated securely.

If you do not want your data shared through this app, you can choose to not participate in the study.
