The short version

Your records are kept on your phone in an encrypted database. We do not receive them. If you turn on the optional partner view, only the items you tick are sent, encrypted on your phone first so we cannot read them. The app uses the internet for nothing else. No account, no ads, no analytics.

What you enter

You enter details about your own baby, as their parent or legal guardian, or with their permission: names, birth details, feeds, sleep, diapers, medicine, temperature, symptoms, vaccines, growth, visits, questions, notes and reminders, and your own pumping records. You can also add the names and phone numbers of people to call for help. All of this is stored on your phone, encrypted with a key kept in your phone's secure storage. We do not receive it, except the items you choose to send in the partner view, which are encrypted so we cannot read them.

Pumping and notes

Pumping records are about you, not your baby. They never appear on Today or in a reminder. They go into a report or an export only if you tick them for that one file, and the tick is not remembered. Notes work the same way in reports and exports. A backup holds everything, including pumping and notes.

Reports and exports

Reports are made on your phone from the records you choose. Cycella does not receive them. Whoever you send a report to has their own copy. Export files are made the same way. Files made to share are deleted from the app's temporary folder soon afterwards, or the next time you open the app.

Partner view (optional)

Off unless you turn it on. To turn it on, you confirm that you are 18 or older and the baby's parent or legal guardian. Your partner confirms they are 18 or older. We rely on your consent, and you can withdraw it at any time with Stop sharing.

• You tick what to send: today's feeds (time, type, bottle amount, breast minutes), sleep (sleeping since, today's sleeps), today's diapers (time, wet or dirty) and the time of the last medicine today. Each is off until you tick it. Your babies appear as Baby 1, Baby 2, unless you choose to show their names. The date and your phone's time zone are sent with them, so your partner sees the right times.
• Never sent: pumping, notes, temperature, symptoms, medicine names and doses, vaccines, growth, things you noticed, visits, documents, birth date, help contacts, location, or any phone or install number.
• The items are encrypted on your phone. Only your partner's paired phone has the key. They are stored on our server, cycella-sync, run for us by Vercel Inc. (a US company) in Mumbai, India. We cannot read them.
• The server keeps only the latest copy, replaced each time you add or change a record. It is kept until you stop sharing, then deleted. Delete everything also deletes it. If you are offline, the app tries again when it next opens online. Pairing messages on the server expire after a few minutes.
• Uninstalling the app does not delete the copy. Stop sharing first. That copy stays on the server and can be opened only by the paired phones.
• Your partner's phone keeps the latest copy it has read. It is cleared when they next open the view after you stop sharing, or when they stop viewing. Stopping viewing on their phone does not delete the copy on the server; only you can do that. Anyone you pair with can see what you tick and could photograph their screen, so share only with an adult you trust to help care for your baby.
• Like any online service, the server sees that a connection happened (such as IP address and time), when the copy was last updated or read, and its size. Vercel keeps short-lived request logs. We do not use these to identify you, and never for ads.

Backup (optional)

You can save an encrypted backup file yourself and keep it wherever you like. It holds all your records, including pumping, notes, your help contacts and entries in Recently deleted. It is protected by 12 recovery words shown only on your phone. We never see the words or the file. If you lose the words, no one can open the backup, not even us. Restoring a backup replaces everything in Cycella Baby on that phone. Nothing is merged. Before records are replaced, the app keeps an encrypted copy of them on that phone, locked with the backup's 12 recovery words, so you can undo the restore for 30 days. That copy never leaves the phone. It is deleted after 30 days, at your next restore, when you undo, or when you delete everything. Your lock and PIN are not in the backup.

Import from Cycella Pregnancy

Import from Cycella Pregnancy happens on your phone. The file is protected by a one-time code. Only your baby's names and birth details are read from it. Delete the file when you are done.

Help button

It opens your phone's dialer or messages app with the number filled in. You press call or send. We send nothing and do not use your location.

Permissions

On Android: Notifications, vibration and restart-after-reboot are for the reminders you set. A reminder shows only "Cycella reminder", never a name, a medicine or a vaccine. Biometric is for unlock, if you turn the lock on. The internet permission is used only for the partner view, and only while it is on. Android's cloud backup and phone-to-phone transfer are turned off for this app.

On iPhone: Notifications are for the reminders you set. A reminder shows only "Cycella reminder", never a name, a medicine or a vaccine. Face ID or Touch ID is used to unlock the app, if you turn the lock on, and to set a new PIN if you forget it. The app never sees your face or fingerprint. The internet is used only for the partner view, and only while it is on. When you restore a backup or import from Cycella Pregnancy, you choose the file yourself, and the app reads only that file. The app does not use your Photos, camera, phone address book or location. Your records, document files and the restore safety copy are kept out of iCloud Backup and computer backups.

Advertising and tracking

No ads. No analytics. No advertising ID. We do not sell your data. We share the partner view data with no one except our hosting provider, Vercel, which stores it for us and cannot read it.

Apple

Test versions for iPhone are given through Apple's TestFlight. If you choose to send feedback, a screenshot or a crash report through TestFlight, Apple passes it to us. A screenshot may show your records, so check it before you send it. If you have allowed your phone to share analytics with app developers, Apple may give us crash reports and usage counts that do not name you. Apple's App Store and TestFlight have their own privacy policies.

Google Play

Google Play has its own privacy policy.

Your choices

You can delete a baby, delete everything from Me, or uninstall at any time. Backup and export files you saved are not deleted with the app. Delete them yourself if you no longer want them. Apart from the encrypted partner copy, we hold no records. That copy has no name or account on it, so we cannot find it for you: use Stop sharing to delete it. The app lets you look at, correct, export and delete everything else yourself. Questions or complaints: write to our grievance officer, Sandeep Sharma, at info@pixelridgeweb.com. We aim to reply within 30 days. You can also contact the data protection authority where you live.

Your rights

Under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023, Nepal's Individual Privacy Act 2018, the EU and UK GDPR, US state laws such as Washington's My Health My Data Act, and similar laws, you can see, correct, export and delete your data in the app, withdraw consent with Stop sharing, name someone to use these rights if you die or cannot act by writing to us, and complain to us or to your data protection authority, for example the Data Protection Board of India. If we refuse a request, you can ask us to look at it again by replying to our answer.

Security

Your records are kept in an encrypted database on your phone. Partner view data is end-to-end encrypted with keys that never leave your and your partner's phones. You can lock the app with a PIN, fingerprint or Face ID. No system is perfectly secure. If we learn of a security incident that affects you, we will tell you in the app and report it to the authorities as the law requires.

Not medical advice

Cycella Baby is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition. It keeps your own records. It does not give medical advice. Talk to a doctor or health worker about your baby's health.

Age

Cycella Baby is for parents and guardians aged 18 or over, and for adult carers they allow to keep records. Only a parent or legal guardian can turn on the partner view, and both people must be 18 or over. It is not made for children to use. We do not collect information from children. Information about your baby leaves your phone through us only if you turn on the partner view, and then only encrypted.

Changes

If we change this policy, we will update the version and date above and show a notice in the app before the change applies to you.
