PCOSTrack Privacy Policy

Developer Data Collection

PCOSTrack does not send your symptom, diet, cycle, or health records to a developer-operated server, and the developer does not collect them. The app does not include its own analytics SDK. The Google Mobile Ads SDK bundled for advertising declares, in its own privacy manifest, that it may collect coarse (approximate) location, diagnostics, performance, crash, ad data, product interaction, and device identifier data, including for advertising and analytics purposes. Google's User Messaging Platform SDK, used for the ad consent form, also declares in its privacy manifest that it may collect coarse location, performance, and product interaction data. PCOSTrack itself does not request location permission.

Advertising (Google AdMob)

The free version shows banner ads served by Google AdMob (Google Mobile Ads SDK). Ads are not shown while you have an active subscription. Where required by law, Google's User Messaging Platform requests your consent status and shows a consent form before ads are requested, and you can review your choices later from the ad privacy option shown with the ad. If the initial consent check fails or the consent form cannot be shown when the app prepares ads (for example, with no network connection), the app does not request ads at that point. Ads may be requested again later, for example when the app prepares ads again.

When ads are shown, Google may collect and process device and usage information such as your IP address, device identifiers, and ad interaction data to serve and measure ads. See how Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services. Device identifiers and advertising data collected for ads may be used for tracking (linking them with other companies' data for advertising). In the free version, after Google's consent form (where it is shown), PCOSTrack asks once for permission to track through Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt. If you do not allow it, ads are still shown, but the Google Mobile Ads SDK does not receive your device's advertising identifier (IDFA). You can change this choice at any time in the iOS Settings app (Privacy & Security > Tracking). PCOSTrack does not itself combine your data with other companies' data.

The records you enter in PCOSTrack are not shared with Google and are not used for advertising.

Accounts

PCOSTrack does not require a user account.

Apple Health

PCOSTrack does not read or write Apple Health (HealthKit) data. Some earlier versions showed a screen about Health access; the current version has no such screen and does not request Health access. The weight and cycle entries you record are stored in the app on your device (they may also be included in your device backups, such as iCloud Backup, if you have enabled them in iOS).

Exporting and Sharing

You can export your symptom, weight, meal, cycle, and note records as a CSV file from Settings, and share a symptom report as a PDF (a PCOSTrack Pro feature) from the Review tab, using the iOS share sheet. Where the file goes (for example another app, email, or cloud storage) is chosen by you and is governed by that destination; the developer does not receive it.

Food Search

Food search uses a food list built into the app. Your search text is processed on your device and is not sent to any server.

Subscriptions and Payments

Subscription purchases (monthly or annual) are processed by Apple through the App Store. PCOSTrack does not receive or store your payment card information. The app checks your purchase status with StoreKit on your device, and you can restore a previous purchase in the app.

Deleting Your Data

You can delete individual cycle and reflection entries in the app. Meal entries can be deleted individually by swiping left on an entry in the Meal Log; use the arrows at the top to go back to earlier days. Deleting works without the Pro subscription, while adding meals requires Pro. Deleting the app (uninstalling it) removes the records stored inside the app on your device. Files you export or share yourself (see Exporting and Sharing above) are copies outside the app and are not removed; delete them where you saved or sent them. Because the developer does not collect your data, there is nothing to delete on our servers. For data held by Google AdMob, see Google's Privacy Policy.

Health Notice

PCOSTrack is a personal tracking tool and is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Information shown in the app is based on self-reported data, is for informational purposes only, and is not a medical diagnosis. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional regarding PCOS management and treatment decisions.
