Privacy Policy

About LabRef

LabRef ("we," "our," "us") is a lab reference-values app and website that helps you look up normal ranges for common laboratory tests and see whether a result you enter falls low, normal, or high. This policy explains what information the LabRef app and this website collect, how it is used, and the choices you have.

Information we collect

You can use LabRef's lookup and range-checking features without creating an account. We only ask you to sign in if you choose to save your results.

• Google account details — if you choose to sign in with Google (this happens the first time you tap Save), we receive your name, email address, and profile picture from your Google account. We never see or store your Google password.
• Test values you save — the test names, values, and dates you choose to save to your account, so you can view them later. Values you only look up or check without saving are not stored in your account.

We do not ask for or knowingly collect your phone number, government ID numbers, financial information, contacts, photos, or precise location.

How we use your information

• To sign you in and keep your saved results linked to your account.
• To show your saved results back to you.
• To keep the app working, secure, and free of abuse.
• To reply if you contact us.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for advertising. LabRef does not currently show ads.

Health-related information

Lab values you choose to save are health-related information. We use them only to provide the save-and-view feature to you. We do not share them with other users, advertisers, or data brokers, and we do not use them to profile you.

Third-party services

• Google Sign-In — used to let you sign in. Google handles authentication under its own Privacy Policy.
• Cloud hosting — the app and its data are hosted with a cloud hosting provider, which stores your saved data on our behalf and only to run the service.

We do not share your personal information with anyone else, except where required by law.

Data retention and deletion

We keep your account and saved results for as long as your account is active. You can ask us to delete your account and all saved data at any time by emailing us at the address in Section 10 from the email linked to your Google account. We will delete it within 30 days of confirming your request.

Security

Data is transmitted over encrypted (HTTPS) connections, and sign-in is handled by Google rather than a password stored by us. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Not medical advice

LabRef provides reference ranges and general information for educational purposes only. It is not a diagnostic tool and does not replace advice from a qualified doctor or laboratory professional. Reference ranges can differ between laboratories, so always interpret your results using the ranges printed on your own lab report and consult a healthcare professional.

Children's privacy and changes

LabRef is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them. If you believe a child has given us information, contact us and we will delete it. We may update this policy as LabRef changes; when we do, we will change the date at the top of this page.
