Self-management support
PTSD Coach
Learn about PTSD, track personal symptoms, try stress-management activities and find support links.
Apple lists an Apple-silicon Mac with macOS 11 or later. The listing also says not verified for macOS; listed requirements do not establish tested compatibility.
VA says personally identifying entries are not sent to VA or third parties. It also describes anonymous usage collection, including sections visited and health-tracking entries, with an opt-out in app settings. VA retains those data as needed for research and says it cannot honor individual deletion requests because the data lack identifying information.
Apple's developer-supplied label lists analytics collection of health information, user identifiers, product interactions and crash/performance diagnostics, described as not linked to identity.
Google Play's developer declaration lists possible collection of health/fitness, app activity and device/other identifiers. It declares no third-party sharing, encryption in transit and no deletion capability.
These are developer declarations, not independent certification. Apple and Android labels describe different categories; neither is a blanket promise of zero collection.
