Sophra Privacy Policy
Effective date: June 5, 2026
Sophra is an iPad application for licensed eyecare professionals that measures
pupillary distance and lens centration from a photo of a patient wearing their
frame. This policy explains how Sophra handles data.
The short version
Sophra does not collect, transmit, or share any data. Everything you enter or
capture stays on your iPad. There is no account, no cloud sync, and no analytics.
Data stored on your device
To do its job, Sophra stores the following locally on your iPad, in the app's
private storage:
- Patient information you enter (such as name, date of birth, and an optional
practice patient ID).
- Photos captured during a measurement.
- Measurement results and related notes.
This information never leaves your device unless you explicitly export it (see
below). We, the developers of Sophra, cannot see it and never receive it.
Data we collect
None. Sophra contains no analytics, advertising, tracking, or third-party data
collection SDKs. The app does not require an account and does not connect to our
servers.
Camera and photo library
The camera is used only to capture the patient photo needed for a measurement.
Photo library access is used only if you choose to save a measurement photo.
These images are processed entirely on the device.
Exports
You can export your data (for backup or to move it to your records) from the
app's Settings screen. Exported files contain protected health information. You
are responsible for sending them only through HIPAA-compliant channels. Once a
file leaves the app, its handling is governed by the destination you choose, not
by Sophra.
Payments
Sophra is sold as a subscription through the App Store. All billing is handled by
Apple. We never receive or store your payment card details, and a purchase does
not create an account with us or send us any patient data. Apple's handling of
your purchase is governed by Apple's privacy policy.
Data retention and deletion
Because all data lives on your device, you control it completely. Deleting a
patient in the app removes their records and photos. Deleting the app removes
all Sophra data from the device.
HIPAA
Sophra is designed to support HIPAA-compliant workflows by keeping protected
health information local to the device and never transmitting it. Your practice
remains the covered entity responsible for safeguarding patient data, including
device security and the channels used for any exports.
Children
Sophra is a professional tool and is not directed to children.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted at this address with
a new effective date.
