Privacy Policy

1. About this policy

Menolora is a private symptom diary for perimenopause, menopause and the years after. This policy explains what the app records, where it is kept, and what never leaves your iPhone.

It covers the Menolora iOS app and the menolora.com website. Version 1.1, effective 2026-08-26.

2. What Menolora records

Everything Menolora holds is something you entered, and all of it stays on your iPhone:

• The menopause stage and focus areas you choose during setup
• Symptoms you log, each with an intensity from 1 to 10 and a date and time
• Optional notes you write alongside an entry
• Cycle entries such as flow, pain and related observations
• Visit reports you generate
• Your language and appearance preferences

3. What we never collect

Menolora has no account system and no server of ours. The following are not collected, and could not be — there is nowhere for them to go:

• Your name, email address, phone number or any other identifier
• Location data
• Payment or billing details — the app is free and never handles payment
• Advertising identifiers such as the IDFA
• Analytics, usage statistics or crash reports
• Contacts, photos, microphone or camera access

4. Where your data is kept

Your entries are stored in a private database on your iPhone. The app marks that database as excluded from device and iCloud backups, so your records are not carried into a backup you might later restore somewhere else.

There is no cloud sync and no server that receives your records. We cannot read, retrieve or restore what you write — not as a policy choice, but because it never reaches us.

5. Apple Health is optional and read-only

Connecting Apple Health is entirely optional; manual tracking works fully without it. Menolora never writes anything to Apple Health and never copies Apple Health data off your device.

You can withdraw the permission at any time in iOS Settings. If you decline, or your device has no Apple Health, the app simply shows the connection as unavailable and everything else keeps working.

With your permission, and only on your device, Menolora reads three things:

• Sleep analysis
• Heart rate
• Menstrual flow

6. Connections the app makes

Menolora has no backend. It makes exactly two outbound requests, and neither carries any symptom, note, cycle entry, Apple Health value or report:

• A version check to Apple’s public App Store endpoint, so the app can tell you when a newer version exists. It sends only the app’s bundle identifier and your store country.
• An update check to Expo EAS Update, which delivers improvements to the app itself. This is software delivery rather than data collection, and automatic checking is switched off.

7. Your controls

Everything is reversible from inside the app. One thing to keep in mind: a visit PDF you have already exported lives wherever you sent it, so delete that copy separately if you no longer want it.

• Settings → “Delete all local data” removes every entry, Apple Health context, report and preference from this iPhone immediately.
• Deleting the app removes its records permanently; there is no account or backup to restore them from.
• A visit PDF is created only when you ask for one, and goes only where you send it.
• Apple Health permission can be withdrawn at any time in iOS Settings.

8. Your rights

Because your records never leave your iPhone, you do not need to ask us for access, correction, export or deletion — all four are already in your hands, inside the app.

Where the GDPR applies you have rights of access, erasure, portability and objection, and you may complain to your supervisory authority. Under Türkiye’s KVKK, health data is special-category data and is treated as such here. If you are a California resident, the CCPA gives you the right to know, to delete, and to opt out of the sale of personal information; Menolora sells no data of any kind.

If you have a question about any of this, write to support@menolora.com.

9. Children

Menolora is intended for adults and must not be used by anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect information from children. If you believe a child has used the app, contact us at support@menolora.com.

10. Not medical care

Menolora is a personal record, not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat, monitor or predict, and it is not a substitute for professional care.

Educational articles name their source — The Menopause Society and ACOG — and open that source’s own website. They are general information, not advice about you.

If you are worried about a symptom, contact a qualified health professional. In an emergency, contact emergency services.

11. Cookies and the website

The app uses no cookies and no tracking technology of any kind.

menolora.com is served as static pages and does not use advertising cookies. If you choose optional website analytics, the site loads Google Analytics 4 to measure website use. It does not receive symptom entries, cycle records, notes, Apple Health data, visit reports, or data from the iOS app.

We do not load Google Analytics 4 unless you choose “Allow analytics” in the website prompt. If you decline, the site remains fully usable and no Google Analytics script is loaded. Your choice is stored only in this browser so we can respect it. Google’s processing of website analytics is governed by its own privacy documentation.

12. Changes and contact

If we change how health data is handled, this page will carry a new version number and a new effective date. The summary at the top always describes the version you are reading.
