Device information for approval for a research study

Hi I am a researcher from Brigham nd Women's Hospital and hoping to get answers regarding the device so that I can get it approved for a study. The questions are below; and I would hihly appreciate if I can have them answered.

  • Does the App cache information locally (temporarily or if there’s no connectivity)? If so, is it encrypted at rest? 
  • Is any data stored locally (cache or otherwise)? Is, is it encrypted at rest within the app container?
  • When the App is deleted, is any data stored locally also gone or does it keep any information? 
  • When data are sent to central servers, how is the device identified?
  • What type of encryption is used for data in transit (i.e. TLS v1.2)? 
  • Does the App use any type of background data synchronization? 
  • Does the App integrate with other Apps (i.e., iCloud, Photos, OneDrive, Dropbox, etc)? 
  • Is any voice assistant (i.e., Siri, Google, Cortana, etc) enabled on the system?
  • Does the technology access any information on the mobile device? 
  • Does it use text messaging? What method?
  • Is the App collecting any data in background, when not in use (i.e., telemetry, GPS coordinates, audio, messages, etc.)?
