Pause Meno Privacy Policy

Last Updated: July 3, 2026

Pause Meno is built privacy-first, because menopause symptoms are intimate health data. All of your data stays on your device. This policy explains exactly how your information is handled.

Information We Collect

None. Pause Meno has no account, no login, no servers, and no analytics or advertising SDKs. We never see your symptoms, cycle history, treatments, notes, or anything else you enter.

Where Your Data Lives

All symptom logs, hot flash counts, cycle events, treatments, notes, and settings are stored only on your device using Apple's on-device database (SwiftData), protected with iOS Data Protection so it is encrypted at rest whenever your device is locked. The app does not transmit this data anywhere.

App Lock

You can optionally require Face ID, Touch ID, or your device passcode to open the app. Biometric authentication is handled entirely by iOS — the app never sees or stores your biometric data. The app also hides its contents in the app switcher so your health data isn't visible in snapshots.

Apple Health

If you choose to connect Apple Health, Pause Meno requests read-only access to menstrual cycle, sleep, and heart rate data to show patterns alongside your symptoms. It never writes to Apple Health, and Health data is never copied off your device, stored by us, or included in exports. The app is fully usable without connecting Apple Health.

Networking

The only network connection the app makes is to Apple's App Store / StoreKit, to offer and verify the optional Pause Meno Pro purchase. These transactions are handled entirely by Apple; we never receive your payment details.

Notifications

If you enable the daily check-in reminder, the app schedules a local notification on your device. It is off by default, and no notification data leaves your device.

Data You Export

The optional export feature and the doctor report create files on your device and share them only where you choose, via the standard iOS share sheet. These files contain your personal health data — share them only with people and places you trust.

Children's Privacy

Pause Meno does not collect any personal information from anyone, including children.

Deleting Your Data

You can delete everything at any time from Settings → Delete all data, or by removing the app from your device.

Changes to This Policy

If this policy changes, we'll update the date above and post the revised policy here.
