Glucose TV Overlay Privacy Policy

What the app does

Glucose TV Overlay displays glucose readings shared through Abbott’s LibreLinkUp service on Android TV and Google TV. The app uses your existing LibreLinkUp account to retrieve readings, show the latest reading and trend over other apps, and play optional alerts.

Information the app uses

• Sign-in details. The app sends the email address and password you enter directly to Abbott’s service over HTTPS. After successful sign-in, it saves your credentials in encrypted storage on your TV to reconnect automatically. Android Keystore manages the encryption key. The credentials file is excluded from Android app backups.
• Account and connection information. The app holds a sign-in token, a hashed account identifier and a connection identifier in memory to request readings from Abbott.
• Glucose information. The app receives glucose readings, measurement times and trends from Abbott. It processes the latest reading on your TV for display and enabled alerts. The app keeps no local glucose history and sends no readings to a publisher-operated server.
• Preferences. The app saves your units, alert settings and automatic start preference on the TV. Android may back up or restore these preferences depending on your device settings.

If you enable automatic start, the app can reconnect when the TV starts. People near the TV may see the reading or hear an alert. Use the overlay only for readings you have permission to display on that TV.

Displaying someone else’s readings

If someone shares their glucose readings with your LibreLinkUp account, the app can display those readings on your TV. Before enabling the overlay, explain to that person where the readings will appear, who may see them, and whether you plan to enable audible alerts. Ask for their permission to display the readings on that TV.

Before signing in, you must confirm that the readings are yours or that the person whose readings you will display has expressly agreed to have them shown on that TV. After successful sign-in, the app saves your confirmation on the TV for future sign-ins and automatic start. You can clear the checkbox to stop the overlay and require a new confirmation.

If they ask you to stop displaying their readings, stop using the overlay for their data. They can also manage or revoke sharing through Abbott’s Libre services. On the TV, you can clear the app’s data to remove the saved sign-in and prevent it from reconnecting automatically.

Who receives information

Your TV connects directly to Abbott’s service. Abbott handles information it receives under its own Libre Family of Products Privacy Notice. The app has no advertising or analytics, and the publisher does not sell your information.

If you contact the publisher by email, the publisher uses your address and message to respond. Please leave passwords and glucose readings out of support emails.

Retention and deletion

To remove saved credentials and preferences from your TV, select Glucose TV Overlay in the TV’s app settings and choose Clear data, or uninstall the app. Use Abbott’s services to manage your LibreLinkUp account, sharing permissions and data held by Abbott.

Your privacy rights

Depending on applicable law and the circumstances, you may have the right to access, correct or erase your personal data, restrict or object to processing, receive a portable copy, or withdraw consent where processing relies on consent. To make a request about data handled by the publisher, email [email protected]. You may also lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
