Your privacy is extremely important. The Health Connect Jamaica Virtual app has 6 privacy features to protect you:

1. Lock access to the app: a PIN code or biometric data is required to access the app

2. Your name is never collected and for self-test kit deliveries we generate a random name to provide to the delivery service keeping you anonymous, but making sure you receive your kit delivery

3. Blockchain technology; we use method called "self sovereign identity on the blockchain" which means we do not store any personal information about users but simply assign a random ID number to associate things like year of birth, sex at birth, test results and appointments. Your identity is completely anonymous yet verified in order for us to provide you services such as: Free HIV self-testing kits, answer surveys and connect with someone on a telehealth appointment anonymously

4. No screenshots: Taking a screenshot in the app is not possible, so your data is always protected

5. Conversations never stored: All video, audio and in app chats are real time and never stored so your conversations remain secure and protected

6. Delete your information: At any point in time, you can go to the app menu and tap "remove data from this device" and all test results, appointments and profile info, stored on the device, will be deleted and cannot be restored.
