Privacy Policy

Effective Date: September 19, 2026

1. Overview

Meno: Perimenopause Tracker ("Meno", or "the App") is a symptom tracking application designed for women experiencing perimenopause. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains how we handle your information, including what the advertising in the App does and does not have access to, and what happens when you buy the optional Meno Pro upgrade.

2. Your Health Data

We collect no personal or health data. Specifically:

• No account or registration is required to use the App.
• No health data (symptoms, severity ratings, cycles, triggers, medications, doses, or notes) is ever sent to any external server — not to us, and not to our advertising partner.
• We do not use analytics services such as Google Analytics, Firebase Analytics, Mixpanel, or Amplitude.
• We do not use social media SDKs or tracking pixels.
• We do not sell, rent, or trade any information about you.

3. Where Your Data Is Stored

All data you enter into Meno is stored exclusively on your device using a local SQLite database. This means:

• Your data exists only on the phone or tablet where you use the App.
• If you delete the App, all data is permanently deleted.
• If you switch devices, your data does not transfer automatically — there is no cloud sync. Meno Pro lets you create an encrypted backup file and restore it yourself on the new device (Section 7).

4. Advertising

Meno is free to download and use. To cover development and hosting costs, the free version of the App displays advertisements supplied by Google AdMob, a service operated by Google LLC.

If you purchase Meno Pro, advertising is removed completely. The advertising SDK is not initialised at all, no advertising identifier is requested, and the tracking permission prompt is not shown.

What AdMob can access:

• Your device's advertising identifier (IDFA on iOS, Advertising ID on Android), if you permit it.
• General technical information about your device, such as device model, operating system version, language, and approximate location derived from your IP address.
• Information about the ads themselves, such as which ads were shown and whether they were tapped.

What AdMob cannot access:

• Any symptom, severity, cycle, trigger, or note you record in the App. This data is stored in a local database that is never read by the advertising SDK and never leaves your device.
• Your name, email address, or any account information, because the App does not ask for or store any.

Ads are never targeted using your health data, because your health data is never available to the advertiser in the first place.

Google's handling of the data it collects is governed by its own privacy policy, available at policies.google.com/privacy. You can read how Google uses information from apps that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

5. Purchases

Meno Pro is an optional paid upgrade, available as a monthly subscription, a yearly subscription, or a one-time purchase.

All payment is handled by Apple through the App Store. We never see or store your payment details, billing address, or Apple Account. The App asks Apple whether a valid purchase exists and receives back only that answer; nothing about your health data is involved in, or sent during, that check.

There is no account and no server on our side, so a purchase is tied to your Apple Account rather than to any profile we hold. Restoring a purchase on another device is a request to Apple, not to us. For the same reason, entitlement information is deliberately excluded from backup files (Section 7).

Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and can be managed or cancelled at any time in your device's Settings under your Apple Account. Apple's handling of purchase data is governed by Apple's own privacy policy.

6. Your Choices and Controls

• App Tracking Transparency (iOS): On first launch, iOS asks whether you allow the App to track you across other companies' apps and websites. If you decline, your advertising identifier is not shared and you will see non-personalized ads instead.
• Ad personalization consent: If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you are shown a consent form before any personalized advertising is enabled, as required by GDPR. You can change your answer at any time in the App under Settings → Your Privacy → Ad Privacy Settings.
• Device-level opt-out: You can reset or disable your advertising identifier at any time in your device settings (iOS: Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking; Android: Settings → Google → Ads).
• Deleting your data: You can erase all logged data at any time in the App under Settings → Data → Clear All Data, or by deleting the App.

7. Exports and Backups

Your health data leaves the App only when you choose to send it somewhere. There are three such actions, and each one is started by you:

• PDF report. A report you generate and then share, for example with your doctor.
• CSV export. A spreadsheet of your entries, for your own use.
• Encrypted backup. A single file containing your entries, encrypted on your device with a passphrase that you choose. We never receive that passphrase and cannot recover it; if you lose it, the file cannot be opened by anyone, including us.

In every case the App hands the file to the iOS share sheet and you choose where it goes. The App does not upload it, does not sync it, and is not told where you saved it. The temporary copy it creates is deleted immediately afterwards, including when you cancel.

Entitlement and purchase information is deliberately left out of backup files, so a backup contains your health history and nothing about your account or payments.

8. Data Sharing

We do not share your health data with anyone. Aside from the advertising information described in Section 4 and the purchase handling described in Section 5, no third parties are involved in processing your information, because your information never leaves your device unless you export it yourself.

9. Notifications

The App may request permission to send local notifications: a daily logging reminder, reminders for medications you have entered, and an optional reminder to make a fresh backup. All of these are scheduled and triggered entirely on your device. No notification data is sent to any server, and the text of a medication reminder is composed on the device from what you typed.

10. Children's Privacy

Meno is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any information from children.

11. Changes to This Policy

If we update this privacy policy, we will post the revised version on this page and update the effective date.
