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 so we cannot read them. No account, no ads, no analytics.

On your phone

What you enter (due date, symptoms, measurements, visits, documents, movements, contractions, reminders, notes) is stored only on your phone. Documents are encrypted and are not in the backup file. We do not receive it. Delete everything from Me and it is erased from your phone; if partner view is on, it also stops sharing and deletes the partner box from our server.

Partner view (optional, 18 and over)

Off unless you turn it on, and you and your partner each confirm you are 18 or older.

• You tick the items to share. Only those are sent.
• To pair, your phone shows a 10-character code for your partner. The server receives only the first 6 characters and uses them to pass encrypted pairing messages between the two phones. The last 4 characters never leave the phones. Codes expire after 3 minutes and are deleted after pairing.
• They are encrypted on your phone first, then stored on our server until you stop sharing. The server cannot read them.
• Stopping deletes the box. If you are offline, the app retries later.
• Notes, measurements, medicines, documents and typed symptoms are never sent.
• Like any online service, the server sees that a connection happened (such as IP address and time). Our code uses the IP address only briefly to limit abuse and does not store or log it. Our hosting provider, Vercel Inc. (a US company), runs the server in its Mumbai, India region and may keep short-lived service logs for security and reliability under its own policy. The server keeps the encrypted box, its size and when it was last updated and read. We do not use any of this to identify you or for ads.
• If you uninstall the app without stopping sharing first, the encrypted box stays on the server and the app can no longer delete it. Stop sharing before you uninstall.

Backup (optional)

You can save an encrypted backup file yourself and keep it wherever you like. It is protected by recovery words shown only on your phone. We never see the words or the file, and cannot recover a backup if you lose the words.

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.

Files you share

A doctor summary, export file, contraction summary or copy of a document is made only when you share it. Files made to share are deleted from the app's temporary folder soon afterwards, or the next time you open the app. Once you send it, the receiver's handling is up to them.

Permissions

On Android: Internet is used only for the partner view. Notifications, vibration and restart-after-reboot are for reminders. Biometric is for unlock. Android's cloud backup and phone-to-phone transfer are turned off for this app.

On iPhone: Internet is used only for the partner view. Notifications are for reminders. Face ID or Touch ID is used to unlock the app and to set a new PIN; the app never sees your face or fingerprint. Photos is used only if you share a document and choose Save Image; the app never reads your photos. Your records and documents are kept out of iCloud Backup and computer backups.

Advertising and tracking

No ads. No analytics. No advertising ID. We do not sell or share your data.

Apple and Google

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. 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. If you buy anything in the app on iPhone, Apple handles the payment and we receive no card details. The App Store and Google Play have their own privacy policies.

Why we use it, and your rights

We process partner view data only because you turn it on, which is your explicit consent. You can withdraw it at any time by stopping sharing. We use it only to show your partner what you chose. We share it with no one except our hosting provider, Vercel, which stores it for us and cannot read it. We do not sell it.

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 or export your data in the app. Everything is on your phone.
• Delete it: Stop sharing deletes the partner box from our server. Delete everything in Me erases your records from your phone.
• Withdraw consent by stopping sharing at any time.
• Nominate someone to use these rights if you die or cannot act, by writing to us.
• Complain: write to us first. You may also complain to your data protection authority, for example the Data Protection Board of India, or your local regulator in the EU or UK.

Because we hold no account and cannot read the partner box, we cannot find your data from an email alone. The controls in the app are the fastest way. Questions or complaints: info@pixelridgeweb.com. We reply within 30 days. 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 Pregnancy 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 or replace your health worker. Talk to a health worker or doctor about your health.

Age

For adults (18 and over). The partner view is only for people 18 and over.

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.
