Urine Biomarkers Privacy and Data Considerations
How urine biomarkers data should be handled: local-first processing, encryption and real user control.

Data about urine biomarkers is deeply personal, so it deserves the strongest protections by default.

How it should work
The most sensitive signals from hydration and concentration cues should be processed on-device, minimised, encrypted and deletable on demand.
