Privacy Policy for ICD-10 2026
Last Updated: February 8, 2026
VLR Software LLC ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and disclose information through our mobile application, ICD-10 2026 (the "App"), and our website, vlrsoftware.com.
1. Information We Collect
To provide a professional medical coding experience and maintain the 2026 database, we collect the following types of information:
Identifiers: We collect the Apple Advertising Identifier (IDFA) only if you grant permission via the iOS App Tracking Transparency (ATT) prompt.
Usage Data: We collect information on how you interact with the App, including app launches, search frequency, and interactions with integrated native advertisements.
Purchase History: To manage your professional subscriptions, we process transaction data via Apple’s StoreKit. We do not have access to your credit card or direct payment details; these are handled securely by Apple.
Coarse Location: We may use your IP address to determine your general region to provide localized medical resources and relevant ad content.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the collected data for the following professional purposes:
App Functionality: To manage your favorites, custom folders, and subscription access.
Database Maintenance: To ensure the 2026 ICD-10-CM codes remain updated and compliant with current healthcare regulations.
Personalized Experience: If you opt-in to tracking, we use your data to show you relevant medical tools and professional resources instead of generic advertisements.
Analytics: To monitor app performance, identify bugs, and improve the search-as-you-type engine.
3. Advertising and Tracking
The App uses Google AdMob to serve integrated native advertisements.
Consent-Based Tracking: We only use your IDFA for tracking purposes if you select "Allow" on the iOS system prompt.
Opt-Out: You can change your tracking preferences at any time by going to your iOS device Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking.
AdMob Privacy: Google may use the data collected to personalize ads. You can view Google’s privacy practices at https://policies.google.com/privacy.
4. Data Sharing and Third-Party Providers
We do not sell your personal information. We only share data with trusted service providers necessary for app operation:
Apple Inc.: For subscription processing and crash diagnostics.
Google AdMob: For ad delivery and performance measurement.
5. Data Retention and Security
We retain your usage data only as long as necessary to provide our services and fulfill the professional purposes outlined in this policy. We implement industry-standard security measures (including encryption and Apple’s secure sandbox environment) to protect your data from unauthorized access.
6. Children's Privacy
Our App is a professional medical tool and is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
7. Your Rights
Depending on your location (e.g., GDPR in Europe, CCPA in California), you may have the right to access, correct, or delete the personal data we hold about you. You may exercise these rights by contacting us at the email address below.
