All other jurisdictionsMost protective applicable local law

Where local law provides greater protection than outlined in these terms, the more protective standard applies. By using the App, you acknowledge that you have read and understood these terms. You may withdraw consent at any time.

Because the App processes special category data (health information relating to menopause), we apply enhanced protections and only process this information with your explicit, informed consent.

02Types of Data We Collect

2.1 Personal identification data

  • Email address
  • Username
  • Optional demographic information (e.g., age range, country of residence)

2.2 Special category / sensitive health data

Collected only with explicit consent, including:

  • Menopause or perimenopause symptoms
  • Basal body temperature
  • Weight, blood pressure
  • Mood, sleep, cycle tracking
  • Any notes you voluntarily enter

2.3 Technical & device data

  • Device type, operating system version
  • IP address (for security & fraud prevention)
  • Crash logs and usage analytics
  • App interactions to improve performance

2.4 Data from third-party integrations

Only if voluntarily connected by you (e.g., Apple HealthKit, Google Fit, or equivalent regional health platforms).

03Legal Bases for Processing

We process your data under lawful bases recognised in applicable jurisdictions. The sections below map our processing purposes to commonly recognised legal bases.

3.1 Explicit consent

Required for processing health data and for optional features (notifications, personalised insights, analytics, and anonymised research contributions). You may withdraw consent at any time via in-app settings or by emailing our DPO. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of prior processing.

3.2 Contractual necessity

To provide the core functionality of the App including account creation, symptom tracking, and the core user experience.

3.3 Legitimate interests

For app security, generic performance analytics, and preventing fraud or misuse. A balancing assessment ensures your rights override these interests wherever appropriate.

3.4 Legal obligations

Where we must comply with legal, regulatory, or court-ordered requirements in any applicable jurisdiction.

3.5 Public interest / scientific research (anonymised data)

Where permitted under applicable law, we may process anonymised, de-identified data in the public interest for medical research purposes (see Sections 4.2 and 15).

04How We Use Your Data

4.1 Core service purposes

We process your data to:

  • Provide symptom-tracking and wellness services
  • Generate non-medical trends and personalised insights
  • Improve app performance and user experience
  • Provide technical and customer support
  • Safeguard the platform from fraud and misuse
  • Fulfil legal and regulatory requirements in applicable jurisdictions

We do not make decisions based solely on automated processing that produce legal or significant effects on you.

4.2 Anonymised medical research

With your separate, explicit consent, anonymised and de-identified versions of your health data may be used to support medical research into menopause, perimenopause, and related health conditions. This use is subject to the following strict conditions:

  • Your identity will never be disclosed to any research partner, institution, or third party. All data is irreversibly de-identified prior to any research use and cannot be used to identify you.
  • Research use is limited to scientific, academic, or public health purposes only. It will never be used for commercial profiling, advertising, or insurance assessment.
  • You may opt in to or opt out of research data sharing at any time through in-app settings, without affecting your access to the App's core features.
  • Where required by law (e.g., under EU GDPR Article 89, UK GDPR, or equivalent provisions), appropriate safeguards including data minimisation, pseudonymisation, and access controls are applied.
  • Research partners who access anonymised data are bound by contractual obligations requiring compliance with applicable ethical and legal research standards.
Your consent for research use is entirely voluntary and separate from the consent required to use the App. Declining research participation has no impact on your use of the App or the quality of service you receive.

05Data Sharing & Disclosure

We do not sell your personal data. We may share data only with:

5.1 Service processors

Carefully vetted service providers operating under binding data processing agreements, such as:

  • Cloud hosting services
  • Security monitoring services
  • Analytics providers
  • Authentication services

5.2 Anonymised research partners

Academic institutions, public health bodies, or medical research organisations may receive anonymised, de-identified datasets under strict contractual and ethical obligations (see Section 4.2). No personal or identifiable information is ever shared for this purpose.

5.3 Legal or regulatory authorities

Only when required by applicable law, regulation, or valid legal process in any jurisdiction where we operate.

5.4 No unauthorised third parties

Your data is never shared with advertisers, marketers, employers, insurance companies, or any third party not described in these terms.

06International Data Transfers

We are a global service and your data may be processed in countries outside your country of residence. Wherever your data is transferred, we implement legally recognised safeguards appropriate to your jurisdiction, which may include:

  • EU/UK Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs)
  • EU Commission or UK Adequacy Decisions
  • Binding Corporate Rules (BCRs)
  • Supplementary technical and organisational safeguards
  • Equivalent mechanisms recognised under LGPD, PIPEDA, the Privacy Act, DPDPA, POPIA, or other applicable laws

You may request information about the specific transfer mechanisms applicable to your region by contacting our DPO.

07Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational security measures proportionate to the sensitivity of the data and applicable legal requirements, including:

  • Encryption in transit (HTTPS/TLS)
  • Encrypted storage
  • Role-based access controls and authentication
  • Data minimisation and pseudonymisation where appropriate
  • Regular vulnerability assessments and penetration testing

  • Backups: purged according to secure rotation schedules

15Anonymised Medical Research — Detailed Provisions

This section supplements Section 4.2 and sets out the full terms governing the use of anonymised data for medical research.

15.1 What "anonymised" means

Data is anonymised when it has been irreversibly processed so that you cannot be identified, directly or indirectly, whether by us, a research partner, or any third party. We apply industry-standard de-identification techniques including generalisation, noise addition, and k-anonymity where appropriate.

15.2 Governance and ethics

Research use of anonymised data is subject to:

  • Internal review and approval prior to any new research use
  • Ethical oversight appropriate to the nature and sensitivity of the research
  • Contractual safeguards binding all research partners to applicable legal and ethical standards
  • Prohibition on any attempt to re-identify data subjects

15.3 No commercial exploitation of identifiable data

Anonymised research data will never be used to make decisions about individual users, to target advertising, or to assess eligibility for insurance, employment, financial services, or any other individual benefit or detriment.

15.4 Your control

You may opt in to or withdraw from research data sharing at any time through in-app settings. Withdrawal will prevent future data from being included in research datasets but does not retroactively affect anonymised data already provided to research partners, as such data cannot be identified or retrieved.

16Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms from time to time to reflect changes in law, our services, or our practices. Where changes materially affect your rights, we will notify you via:

  • In-app alert
  • Email notice (where applicable)

Continued use of the App following notification constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. If you do not agree, you may delete your account at any time.
