1. Scope of this policy
This policy describes what data the Morton QRef mobile app (and its development variant, Morton QRef Dev) processes, for what purposes and for how long.
Data controller: PÉRGAMO LLC, a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware, United States. Contact: admin@morton.coffee.
2. What Morton QRef is
Morton QRef is an academic reference and educational support tool for anaesthesia, intended for licensed professionals, anaesthesia technicians and residents in the specialty. It is not intended for patients or the general public, and using it requires an active account.
The app does not diagnose, does not prescribe treatment and does not replace the professional's clinical judgment. Access is purchased outside the app: the app sells nothing and processes no payments.
3. Data the app collects
The app sends only the following to our servers:
- Name — on sign-in and when editing your profile. Used to identify the account.
- Email address — on sign-in and password recovery. Identifies the account and verifies identity.
- Account identifier — on every authenticated request, to tie the session to its owner.
- Profile photo — only if you choose to upload one, to display your avatar.
- Assistant queries — only if you use the chat, to generate the answer and keep the conversation history.
The profile photo and the assistant are optional: the app works fully without them.
We do not collect location, contacts, calendar data, advertising identifiers or usage data for analytics. The app contains no advertising and no third-party analytics tools.
4. Data that never leaves your device
This is deliberate and is part of how the app is designed:
- The clinical data you enter into forms (weight, age, doses and any other parameter of a specific case) is calculated locally. It is never transmitted to any server. The result is copied to your clipboard so you can take it wherever you need.
- Reminders are stored in a local database on the phone itself.
- Your device calendar, if you grant permission, is read and written only on the phone. Its contents are never sent anywhere.
As a result, we do not process your patients' health data. That information never reaches our systems at any point.
5. The conversational assistant
Queries you type into the chat are processed by artificial intelligence models to produce the answer, and are kept as conversation history so you can return to them.
The technology providers involved act as processors on our behalf, under contractual terms that prevent them from using your queries for their own purposes or to train their models.
Assistant answers are automatically generated and may contain errors. They are reference material, never a medical instruction. Clinical responsibility always rests with the professional.
Do not type patient-identifying data into the chat. We do not need it and you should not send it.
6. Who we share it with
No one. We do not sell, transfer or share your data with third parties for their own purposes.
The only third parties involved are infrastructure and artificial intelligence providers that process data on our behalf and under our instructions, bound by confidentiality and security obligations.
7. Security
- All communication between the app and our servers travels encrypted over HTTPS.
- Session credentials are stored in the operating system's secure storage (Keychain on iOS, Keystore on Android), never in plain text.
- Access to data is restricted to the personnel who need it to operate the service.
8. How long we keep it
For as long as your account is active, and afterwards for the period needed to meet legal or contractual obligations. When the account is closed, the associated data is deleted, except what we are required by law to retain.
9. Your rights and account deletion
You may at any time request access to, correction of, deletion of or portability of your data, as well as object to processing or request that it be restricted.
To exercise any of these rights, including deletion of your account and all associated data, write to admin@morton.coffee from the email address associated with your account, stating your request explicitly. We will respond within the time limits required by applicable law.
Deleting your account removes your name, email address, account identifier, profile photo and assistant history. Data we are legally required to retain is kept only for the applicable statutory period and deleted afterwards.
10. Children
The app is intended exclusively for healthcare professionals of legal age. It is not directed at anyone under 18 and we do not knowingly collect data from minors.
11. Changes to this policy
If we change this policy we will publish the updated version here with its new date. Substantial changes will also be communicated within the app or by email.
