Privacy Policy
Last Updated: January 2025
Our Commitment to Your Privacy
At PCOSense, we believe your health data is deeply personal and should remain under your control. We've built our app with privacy as a fundamental principle, not an afterthought.
The Short Version
- No account required — Use the app without creating any account
- Data stays on your device — We don't have servers storing your health information
- No tracking — We don't collect analytics about your usage or behavior
- You own your data — Export or delete your data anytime
1. Information We Don't Collect
Unlike many apps, PCOSense is designed to function without collecting your personal information:
- No personal identifiers: We don't ask for your name, email, phone number, or any account information
- No health data transmission: Your symptom logs, triggers, period data, and insights never leave your device
- No usage analytics: We don't track how you use the app, which features you access, or how often you open it
- No location data: We don't access or store your location
- No device identifiers: We don't collect unique device IDs or fingerprints
2. Data Stored on Your Device
All your data is stored locally on your device using secure storage mechanisms:
- Symptom check-ins: Daily logs of energy, mood, bloating, fatigue, cravings, and other symptoms
- Trigger entries: Food and lifestyle triggers you log (sugar, dairy, caffeine, etc.)
- Period tracking: Menstrual cycle start and end dates
- Insights and patterns: Computed correlations and observations
- App preferences: Theme, language, notification settings
This data remains entirely on your device and is not accessible to us or any third party.
3. In-App Purchases
PCOSense offers premium features through in-app purchases processed by Apple's App Store:
- Purchase transactions are handled entirely by Apple
- We don't receive or store your payment information
- Apple may collect information as described in their privacy policy
- We only receive a confirmation that a purchase was made to unlock premium features
4. Data Export and Deletion
You have complete control over your data:
- Export: You can export all your data in CSV or JSON format at any time from the app settings
- Backup: Create complete backups of your data for personal storage
- Delete: You can delete all your data from within the app settings. Once deleted, data cannot be recovered
- Uninstall: Removing the app from your device will delete all associated data
5. Third-Party Services
PCOSense minimizes the use of third-party services:
- Apple App Store: Required for app distribution and in-app purchases
- No advertising networks: We don't display ads or use ad tracking
- No analytics services: We don't use Google Analytics, Firebase Analytics, or similar services
- No social media SDKs: We don't integrate social media tracking
6. Security
We take the security of your data seriously:
- Data is stored using iOS secure storage mechanisms
- The app uses your device's built-in security features
- No network transmission of health data means no risk of interception
- We recommend using device passcode/Face ID/Touch ID for additional protection
7. Children's Privacy
PCOSense is not intended for use by children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect any information from children. If you believe a child has used this app, the data exists only on that device and can be deleted by removing the app.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
