MoCA Solo Privacy Policy (U.S.)
Effective Date: October 7, 2025
1. Purpose and Scope
This Privacy Policy describes how MoCA Test Inc., doing business as MoCA Cognition ("we," "our," or "us"), collects, uses, and protects information processed through the MoCA Solo mobile application ("App").
MoCA Solo is an investigational digital cognitive assessment tool used only within an Institutional Review Board (IRB)–approved clinical validation study conducted in the United States. It is not a commercially available medical device and is not intended for clinical diagnosis, treatment, or direct-to-consumer use.
2. Definitions
For purposes of this Policy:
3. Information We Collect
When a study participant uses the App, the following categories of information are collected for research purposes:
4. How We Use the Information
We process collected data only for legitimate research and operational purposes, including to:
Participants do not receive individual MoCA results through the App.
5. Use of Artificial Intelligence and De-Identification
Audio recordings and drawings are processed automatically by secure AI-based algorithms for scoring purposes. We do not use identifiable participant data to train AI models. Any data used for model improvement or research are first de-identified or aggregated so that individuals cannot be identified.
6. Data Sharing
We may share data only as follows:
7. HIPAA and Research Compliance
Where the study involves healthcare institutions or covered entities, data handling complies with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and applicable data use or business associate agreements. All participants are enrolled under IRB-approved informed consent procedures, which specify how data will be used and protected.
8. Data Retention and Deletion
The data collected through the App are coded and do not contain direct identifiers. Following completion of the study, the coded data set may be retained for analysis and regulatory documentation. If all links to participant identities are permanently removed, the data will be considered de-identified. Backup and technical logs are periodically purged, and any remaining data are maintained only in aggregated or non-identifiable form.
9. Security Measures
We apply industry-standard administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect data, including:
While no system is perfectly secure, these measures are designed to minimize the risk of unauthorized access, alteration, or loss.
10. Participant Eligibility
MoCA Solo is used exclusively by adult participants enrolled in the clinical validation study.
Children and minors are not eligible to participate. The App is not intended for, directed to, or available to the general public.
11. Participant Rights and Requests
Because the App processes coded data without direct identifiers, MoCA Cognition cannot identify or respond to individual participants directly. Participants who wish to access, correct, or delete their information should contact their study coordinator or principal investigator, as described in the study’s consent form. Requests will be addressed within 30 days where possible and in accordance with research and data integrity requirements.
12. Data Location and Jurisdiction
Although the study is conducted in the United States, data may be stored or processed by service providers located in the U.S. or other jurisdictions with comparable privacy and security safeguards. All service providers are contractually bound to maintain data protection standards consistent with applicable U.S. privacy and research laws.
13. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Effective Date” above reflects the most recent version. Material changes will be communicated to study sponsors or sites prior to implementation.
