1. Introduction

Welcome to HerDiabetes, a health management application owned and operated by HerDiabetes Health, Inc. ("HerDiabetes," "we," "us," or "our"). This Privacy Policy describes how we handle information in connection with the HerDiabetes mobile application (the "App").

HerDiabetes is designed with privacy as a core principle. All health data remains on your device. We do not operate servers that store your personal health information.

2. Data Stored on Your Device

The following data is stored locally on your device only:

  • Blood glucose readings and trends

  • Insulin doses and medication records

  • Menstrual cycle data (period dates, cycle length, phase tracking)

  • Nutrition and carbohydrate intake

  • Activity and exercise logs

  • Mood, energy, stress, and symptom tracking

  • Notes and personal reflections

  • HealthKit data you choose to sync

  • App preferences and settings

This data never leaves your device unless you choose to export it.

3. Data We Do NOT Collect

HerDiabetes does not collect, transmit, or store the following:

  • Email addresses (within the app)

  • Names or personal identifiers

  • Location data

  • Contacts

  • Photos

  • Browsing history

  • Data from other apps

  • Any data on external servers

We may collect your email address through our website for marketing communications such as product updates and launch notifications. This is separate from the app and is not connected to any health data.

4. How Data is Stored

Your health data stored within the App is protected using AES-256 encryption via SQLCipher, separate from standard iOS device encryption. All information related to your use of our mobile application is stored locally and/or processed by Apple in its capacity as a controller.

All AI-powered features (available on iPhone 15+ with iOS 26) process entirely on your device. No health data is sent to external AI services.

5. HealthKit Data

For the purposes of this Policy, "HealthKit Data" means your health and fitness information which is collected by Apple Inc. using an Apple iPhone, watch or other device and stored within the Apple HealthKit, being an Apple Inc. product; and which may include data related to your blood glucose levels, blood pressure, body temperature, calories burned, distance travelled, forced expiratory volume, heart rate, height, menstruation status, oxygen saturation level, peak expiratory rate, respiratory rate, resting heart rate, sleep, step count, VO2 max, weight, carbohydrate intake, insulin doses administered, and other data that may be related or relevant to reproductive health and diabetes management.

You can choose to direct your HealthKit Data to be transmitted to and processed or stored by the App. This Policy does not address HealthKit Data that you provide to Apple Inc, which is governed by Apple Inc's own Privacy Policy and other terms. Instead, it is solely intended to give you information about the HealthKit Data processed by the App.

The App may transmit or store one or more of the categories of HealthKit Data, as described above, provided that you consent to us doing so for that particular category of HealthKit Data. For example, you could choose to sync your blood glucose levels, but not menstruation status. We use your HealthKit Data to assist you in managing your health conditions and to allow you to use the App, including its various features and functionalities, such as tracking glucose trends and providing insulin dose calculations.

You can change the categories of HealthKit Data that are transmitted or synced to the App from time to time within the relevant Apple Inc. application (e.g. Apple Health) on your iPhone, Apple Watch or other device.

You can withdraw your consent to the App's process of your HealthKit Data at any time within the relevant Apple Inc. application (e.g. Apple Health) on your Apple iPhone, watch or other device. For example, by accessing "Privacy & Security" within your "Settings" and selecting "Health." Withdrawing your consent will not prevent you from using the App, however some of its functionality will be disabled or diminished.

We will not advertise, sell or share your HealthKit Data to third party advertising platforms, data brokers or information resellers. Nor will we use your HealthKit Data for data-mining activities.

We will not disclose HealthKit Data to any third party without your prior consent. HealthKit Data collected for one purpose will not be repurposed without your prior consent. HealthKit Data is not transmitted to any data servers overseas; HealthKit Data is stored locally on your device only. There is no storage of your HealthKit Data in iCloud or any other cloud server. We do not write false or inaccurate data to HealthKit.

In no event does HerDiabetes attempt to build user profiles from HealthKit Data and we do not attempt to identify any users from any anonymized data.

6. Third Parties

HerDiabetes does not share your health data with any third party.

Apple Inc. provides app distribution and subscription management through the App Store. Apple receives subscription and payment information only. Apple does not receive your health data. See Apple's Privacy Policy at apple.com/legal/privacy. As a reminder, all HealthKit Data is stored and managed by Apple. Please review Apple's Privacy Policy to learn more.

We do not use analytics services, advertising networks, or cloud storage providers.

7. Data Deletion

All your data is stored on your device only.

To delete all data: Uninstall the HerDiabetes app. This immediately and permanently deletes all health data, preferences, and records stored by the app.

To remove HealthKit access: Go to iOS Settings > Privacy & Security > Health > HerDiabetes. This does not delete data already stored in Apple Health.

To cancel your subscription: Go to App Store > Settings > Subscriptions. Subscriptions are managed by Apple.

We have no server data to delete because we do not store your App data on servers that we own or control.

8. Your Rights and Controls

You have complete control over your data:

  • HealthKit Permissions: Grant or revoke access to specific health categories at any time through iOS Settings

  • PDF Export: Generate reports to share with healthcare providers—you control when and with whom

  • Complete Deletion: Uninstall the app to remove all data

9. Security Measures

HerDiabetes implements data security measures designed to meet Federal Trade Commission standards for reasonable data security in digital health applications, including defense-in-depth encryption and authentication controls for sensitive health information.

10. Age Requirement

HerDiabetes is intended for users 18 years of age and older. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you believe someone under 18 has used this app, the data exists only on their device and is deleted by uninstalling the app.

11. California Residents

California Civil Code § 1798.83 (California's Shine the Light Act) further permits California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. If you are a California resident, you may ask us to refrain from providing your personal information to certain of our affiliates and other third parties for their marketing purposes. Please tell us your preference by contacting us at the contact information below.

12. Nevada Residents

Under Nevada law, Nevada "consumers" may request that certain "operators" of internet sites and online services refrain from the "sale" of their "covered information" to third parties (as such terms are defined under Nevada law). Our disclosures of your information to third parties (as described above) do not qualify as a sale under Nevada law. Nonetheless, you may contact us at the information below to make a request under the laws of the state of Nevada.

13. Data Location

You understand and agree that information about you may be stored or processed by information technology systems located in the United States or jurisdictions that may have laws that differ from the laws of your country of residence or the jurisdiction in which you reside.

14. Changes to the Privacy Policy

While we always aim to provide complete and transparent information about how we process your personal information, we reserve the right to amend or update this Policy from time to time or to create additional policies in order to accurately reflect changed circumstances or new legal requirements.

Please note that we may change this Policy from time to time. If there are changes to our Policy, we will post them here and update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this document. Continued use of the website after any changes is deemed to be acceptance of those changes. Accordingly, we encourage you to check the Policy periodically for updates.
