Sonable app

Last updated: 12 November 2026

This is a translation; the Italian version prevails in case of discrepancy.

How the Sonable app for iPhone, iPad and Android processes data, under Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR).

In short. The Sonable app has no accounts, contains no analytics or advertising and never sends reports to anyone. Reports, drafts, photos, clips and PDFs stay in your device's memory, under your control. Only to manage the Sonable Premium subscription does the app use RevenueCat, with an anonymous identifier and the purchase data.

1. Controller

Dr. Pietro Bertini, physician, VAT IT02044000491. Privacy contact: [email protected]. This notice covers the Sonable app for iPhone, iPad and Android. For the website and the web demo, the site privacy notice applies.

2. Data the app does not collect

The app works without registration and reports can be filled in offline. We do not transmit, receive or keep the data you enter or data about your use of the app. We use no advertising identifiers or analytics tools. The only exception is the subscription, described in section 7.

3. Patient data you enter

In reports you can enter personal and health data of your patients (art. 9 GDPR), together with photos and clips. This data is saved only on your device, in the app's private storage. For this data you, or the institution you work for, are the data controller: the app is a tool you use to write and archive your reports, and we have no access to that data.

We recommend that you:

protect the device with a passcode, fingerprint or face recognition and keep the operating system's encryption enabled;
share PDFs only through channels suitable for health data;
delete reports you no longer need from the app, according to your institution's retention rules.

4. Device permissions

Permission	When it is used
Camera	Only when you choose to take a photo or record a clip to attach to the report
Microphone	Only while recording a clip
Photos and files	Only for the items you choose to attach; the app saves a copy in its own storage

You can revoke permissions at any time in the device settings.

5. Sharing and backups

When you export or share a PDF, you choose the recipient and channel through the operating system; further processing follows the rules of the chosen service. If device backups are enabled (iCloud or Google), the operating system may include the app's data in your backup, according to your Apple or Google account settings.

With "Export archive" the app creates a file with reports, drafts and attachments, which you save or send wherever you choose (for example Files or a network drive) to restore it with "Import archive". The file contains health data: keep it somewhere protected. We neither receive nor keep copies.

6. Deletion

You can delete individual reports and drafts from the app's archive. Uninstalling the app makes the operating system erase all data saved by the app on the device.

7. Stores and subscription

The app is downloaded, and the Sonable Premium subscription is paid, through the App Store or Google Play, which process your account and payment data according to their own policies. We receive no data identifying you from them (name, email, payment details).

To know whether the subscription is active, the app uses RevenueCat (RevenueCat, Inc., United States), which processes on our behalf, as data processor, an anonymous identifier generated by the app, the purchase data received from the store (product, dates, status, country/currency), the device model, the system and app version and the connection's IP address. Purpose: activating, renewing and restoring the subscription. Legal basis: performance of the contract (art. 6.1.b GDPR). Data are kept for the duration of the subscription and as required by law, and may be transferred to the United States under the European Commission's standard contractual clauses (RevenueCat privacy policy). No report data is ever sent to RevenueCat. Without a subscription the free features remain available.

8. Clinical use

Sonable is a report-writing tool. The plates in the atlas and guide are educational diagrams, not patient images. Diagnosis and clinical decisions remain the physician's.

9. Rights and contacts

For any question you can write to the contact in section 1. You have the right to lodge a complaint with the Italian Garante per la protezione dei dati personali or with the authority of your country.

10. Changes

If the app introduces features that transmit data in the future (for example a cloud backup), this notice will be updated before release and, where necessary, we will ask for your consent.
