In short
- No account and no sign-up.
- Your pregnancy and health records are stored only on your device.
- The AI assistants send data only if you choose to use them. Usage statistics and crash reports can be turned off in Settings.
- The app shows ads from Google AdMob. Your health information is never shared with ad networks.
1. Who we are
This policy explains how the Pregnancy Tracker: My Baby app for Android and iOS ("the app") handles your information. The app is published by Erbaşaran, Ankara Türkiye ("we", "us"), who is responsible for your data (the data controller). Contact: [email protected].
2. Data that stays on your device
Your pregnancy details (dates, due date, the names you enter, who you are in the family), kick counts, contractions, weight, blood pressure, medications, cravings, water intake, journal entries, moods and symptoms, appointments, checklists, favourite names and photos are stored only on your device. We do not receive them, and they are never sent to advertising or analytics services. Home screen and lock screen widgets read them from storage on the same device.
You can delete all of it at any time in Settings → "Delete all data", or by uninstalling the app. The app has no cloud backup of its own, so we cannot restore deleted data. If you use your phone's system backup (iCloud or your Google account), your phone may include the app's data in that backup, which is kept under your account and the platform's terms.
3. Content downloads
The app downloads its articles and weekly content from our server over an encrypted connection (HTTPS). These requests contain no personal information. Like every internet request, they reveal your IP address to the server, which uses it only to deliver the content and keep the service secure.
4. AI assistants (optional)
If you choose to use the AI assistants and accept the consent screen shown before your first chat, each message you send goes to our server together with:
- the recent messages of that chat;
- the name and the baby's name you entered (if any), who you are in the family (for example mother or father) and the baby's sex if you set it;
- your pregnancy dates, week and due date;
- your app language, time zone, region and unit system;
- your device model, operating system and app version, and a random identifier created by the app (it changes if you reinstall the app).
Our server forwards the conversation to an AI service provider, Groq, that writes the answer on our behalf. The device details and the identifier are not sent to that provider. Your tracking records (weight, blood pressure, kicks, medications, notes, photos) are never sent.
We use chats only to answer you, to prevent misuse (for example, daily message limits) and to keep the service working. Chats are kept on our server for up to 90 days and then deleted automatically. "Delete chat" removes a conversation, and "Delete all data" asks our server to delete all chats of your device. Please do not share other people's personal information in chats. The assistants give general information only; they can make mistakes and are not medical advice.
5. Usage statistics and crash reports (optional)
When "Share anonymous usage data" is on (Settings → Privacy; off by default in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, on by default elsewhere), the app uses Google Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics. They receive which screens and features are used (for example which pregnancy week is opened, the trimester, language and theme), crash reports, device and app information, an app instance identifier and an approximate location derived from your IP address. They never receive your health records, notes or photos. Firebase Analytics does not collect the advertising identifier. Google processes this data on our behalf and keeps it for a limited period.
6. Notifications
The daily notification and your reminders (appointments, medications, bump photos) are scheduled on your device. To send occasional announcements, Firebase Cloud Messaging gives your device a token and subscribes it to topics for your app language and your current trimester. Google processes this data on our behalf. You can turn notifications off in the app or in your device settings.
7. Advertising
The app is free and shows ads through Google AdMob. AdMob collects your device's advertising identifier (on iOS only if you allow tracking), your IP address and the approximate location derived from it, interactions with ads and the app, and performance and diagnostic data, and uses them for advertising, measurement and fraud prevention.
- In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland you are asked for consent through Google's consent form. You can change your choice in Settings → Privacy → "Ad privacy".
- On iOS you can allow or deny tracking when asked, and later in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.
- On Android you can reset or delete your advertising ID in the system settings.
Without consent or tracking permission you still see ads, but they are not personalised. Your health information is never shared with ad networks. How Google uses data: policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
8. Permissions
The app asks for a permission only when you use a feature that needs it, and explains why first: notifications (daily message and reminders), camera (bump album and journal photos), saving images to your photo library, and on iOS, tracking for personalised ads. The call button opens your phone app with the number you saved; the app does not read your contacts or call history.
9. Ratings and feedback
The app may invite you to rate it using the App Store's or Google Play's own rating window; we do not see who rated. Feedback you send by e-mail is used only to reply to you and to improve the app.
10. Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with the service providers described above (Google and our AI service provider), which process it on our behalf, or when the law requires it.
11. Legal bases (EEA, UK, Switzerland, Türkiye)
Your consent for usage statistics, crash reports, personalised ads and the AI assistants (you can withdraw it at any time in the app); the performance of the service you request for content downloads and notifications; and our legitimate interest in keeping the app secure.
12. International transfers
Google and our AI service provider may process data outside your country, including in the United States, under their standard contractual safeguards.
13. Your rights
You can access, correct or delete your data and withdraw your consent. Most of your data never leaves your device and is under your control. For chats stored on our server, use "Delete chat" or "Delete all data", or write to [email protected]. You may also complain to your data protection authority (in Türkiye, the Personal Data Protection Authority, KVKK).
14. Children
The app is meant for adults and is not directed to children under 16.
15. Medical disclaimer
The app's content is for general information only and does not replace your doctor or midwife. In an emergency, call your local emergency number.
16. Changes
We will publish any changes to this policy on this page with a new date.
