Scope & Applicability
This Privacy Policy governs the operations of Vortex Wearables Pakistan and our official digital storefront at vortexwearables.com. It applies to all interactions with our web ecosystem, e-commerce checkout systems, companion applications (including QRING integration), customer care channels, and official social/WhatsApp support lines.
By accessing our website, creating an account, pre-ordering, or purchasing hardware (such as the Vortex Pulse Ring, Vortex Core Ring, Vortex Smart Glasses, or accessories), you acknowledge and consent to the data collection, handling, and protection practices detailed in this document.

Health & Biometric Telemetry Ethics
Health metrics captured by smart rings require the highest standard of ethical protection. We operate under rigorous principles:
Sensor data travels between your Vortex smart ring and your mobile device via secure Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). Cloud backups are encrypted at rest and in transit.
Vortex Pulse™ and Vortex Core™ smart rings are lifestyle wellness products engineered for general fitness awareness. They are not medical devices and do not provide medical diagnosis, clinical treatment, or disease prevention. Never use Vortex data as a substitute for professional medical consultation.
We do not mix your biometric telemetry with our e-commerce advertising databases. Marketing campaigns never target individual health states, heart rate anomalies, or sleep patterns.
