Privacy Policy

Overview

Life Activator built the PCOS Exercise & Lifestyle app as an ad-supported service provided at no cost. This page explains our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information when you use our Service.

By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. We will not use or share your information except as described here.

Information Collection & Use

The app stores your information on your device and backs it up to your account on our servers (Google Firebase), so it can be restored on a new phone. Every install gets an anonymous account automatically; you can link it to Google sign-in later. The backup includes:

• Profile and settings — your name, bio, goals and reminder times you enter, and your Google name, email and photo if you sign in with Google.
• Activity — workouts, meditations, water intake, weight and mood logs, streaks, credits and badges.
• Cycle tracking — period, flow, mood and symptom logs, kept as a private backup that only your account can read.
• Friends and challenges — friend requests, groups, challenges and cheers, if you use them.
• Feedback — anything you choose to send us from the app.

Medication reminders and dose logs stay on your device only and are never uploaded. Friends can see only your public profile: name, photo, handle, bio, streak, workout count and badges. Your cycle, weight, mood and goals are never shown to them.

You can delete your account and all backed-up data at any time in Settings.

The app uses third-party services that may collect information used to identify you. Their privacy policies are linked below:

AdMob and our advertising partners InMobi and AppLovin may collect your device's advertising ID, IP address, device information and ad interactions to show, measure and protect ads. We never share your health data (cycle, mood, symptoms, weight or medications) with them. You can reset or delete your advertising ID in your device's settings.

Log Data

In the case of an error in the app, we collect data and information on your phone (through third-party products) called Log Data. This may include your device's IP address, device name, OS version, app configuration at the time of use, timestamps, and other statistics.

Cookies

This Service does not use cookies explicitly. However, third-party code and libraries used by the app may use cookies to collect information and improve their services. You can accept or refuse cookies via your device settings.

Service Providers

We may employ third-party companies and individuals for the following reasons:

• To facilitate our Service
• To provide the Service on our behalf
• To perform Service-related services
• To assist us in analyzing how the Service is used

These third parties have access to your Personal Information only to perform tasks assigned on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.

Security

We value your trust and strive to use commercially acceptable means of protecting your Personal Information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure — we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Links to Other Sites

This Service may contain links to external sites not operated by us. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of any third-party site you visit. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for their content or practices.

Children's Privacy

This Service does not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. If we discover such data has been provided, we immediately delete it from our servers. Parents or guardians who become aware of this should contact us immediately.
