Last updated: April 21, 2026

## Introduction

Saheli is a menstrual health tracking and education app. This Privacy Policy explains what information Saheli may collect, store, process, and share when you use the app.

By using Saheli, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

## Information We May Collect

Depending on how you use Saheli, the app may collect or store the following:

- Profile information such as nickname, name, age, and last period date
- Menstrual and health-related entries such as cycle dates, bleeding days, symptoms, pain, mood, discharge, notes, medication logs, and sexual activity logs
- App settings such as reminder preferences, language, theme, privacy, and security settings
- Account information if you sign in, such as email address or linked sign-in provider details
- Backup-related data if you enable cloud backup or restore features

## How We Use Information

Saheli may use your information to:

- Show your health records inside the app
- Generate cycle predictions, fertile window estimates, ovulation estimates, and reminders
- Personalize app behavior and settings
- Provide optional backup and restore features
- Improve app stability and core functionality

Saheli is not intended to provide medical diagnosis, treatment, or emergency care.

## Health Information Disclaimer

Saheli may process sensitive personal information that you choose to enter, including menstrual and symptom-related information.

This app is not a doctor, hospital, laboratory, emergency service, or medical device. Predictions, reminders, blogs, and health guidance inside the app are for general informational and self-management purposes only. They may be inaccurate, incomplete, delayed, or unsuitable for your situation.

You should always consult a qualified doctor or licensed healthcare professional for medical concerns, diagnosis, treatment, screening decisions, or urgent symptoms.

## Local Storage

Saheli is designed to store your records on your device by default.

This may include:

- Cycle history
- Daily logs
- Notes
- Reminder settings
- Security and personalization settings

Local data may remain on your device until you delete it, clear app storage, or uninstall the app.

## Cloud Backup and Sign-In

If you choose to sign in or enable backup features, some of your data may be transmitted to and stored using third-party services that support authentication and cloud backup.

These features are optional. If you do not enable them, your records may remain only on your device.

We cannot guarantee uninterrupted availability, complete prevention of data loss, or absolute security for cloud-based systems.

## Notifications

If you enable notifications, Saheli may send reminders related to periods, ovulation, fertility, health logs, screening reminders, or other app features.

Depending on your device settings, notification content may appear on your lock screen or be visible to others who can access your device.

You are responsible for managing your device notification settings and lock screen privacy settings.

## Sharing of Information

Saheli does not intentionally sell your personal menstrual health data as a product.

However, information may be processed by third-party providers when necessary for:

- Authentication
- Cloud backup and restore
- Core app hosting or infrastructure
- App store distribution and platform functionality

We do not control the independent privacy practices of device manufacturers, operating systems, app stores, or third-party sign-in providers.

## Data Security

Saheli may use reasonable technical measures to protect data stored or processed through the app. These may include device-level protections, optional app lock features, and account-based access controls.

However, no app, device, network, or cloud service can guarantee complete security. We cannot promise that your data will never be accessed, altered, disclosed, or lost.

You are responsible for:

- Protecting access to your phone
- Using strong account credentials
- Managing your PIN, biometric lock, and backup settings
- Avoiding shared or insecure devices when entering sensitive information

## Your Choices

Depending on available features in the app, you may be able to:

- Use the app without enabling cloud backup
- Sign in or sign out of your account
- Enable or disable reminders
- Export your data
- Delete local data from your device
- Adjust privacy and security settings

## Data Retention

Saheli may retain your data:

- On your device until you delete it, uninstall the app, or clear app storage
- In backup systems for as long as backup remains enabled or until deletion, replacement, provider-side retention, or technical lifecycle processes occur

We do not guarantee permanent retention or immediate deletion in every scenario.

## Children and Legal Responsibility

If local law requires parental, guardian, or other consent for minors to use the app or share health-related information, the user is responsible for complying with those requirements before using Saheli.

## International Use

If you use Saheli in a country or region with specific privacy or health data requirements, you are responsible for determining whether use of the app is appropriate under your local law.

## Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be reflected by the "Last updated" date above.

Continued use of Saheli after changes means you accept the revised Privacy Policy.
