Privacy Policy

Baby on the Way – Pregnancy Tracker keeps your data on your phone first and does not require an account. This policy explains what data we process, why and how, your rights, and how to delete your data.

1. Who we are

The app is published by PeakFire Studio (Mini Hug family), which is the controller of your personal data. For any question, request or complaint: peakfirestudio@gmail.com.

2. In short

• You do not need an account; by default your pregnancy records stay on your phone only.
• If you create an account and turn on sync (backup / partner sharing), your records are uploaded to our server.
• We show no ads, never sell your data and use no advertising or behavioural-tracking SDKs.
• You can delete your account and all server-side data from the app with one tap.

3. What data do we process?

a) Kept only on your device (even without an account). What you enter in the app is stored in the database on your device and we cannot access it:

• Pregnancy details: last period date, due date, calculation method, multiples, optional baby name/nickname and sex.
• Tracking records: weight and height, blood pressure, blood glucose, symptoms, mood, water and vitamin logs, kick counter and contraction records, notes.
• Appointment and test records, hospital-bag and birth-plan check-offs, favourite names.
• Optional photos (ultrasound, belly). The camera or photo library is accessed only when you choose to add a photo.
• Notifications are scheduled locally on your device; we do not send push notifications from a server.

b) If you create an account.

• For sign-in: your email address and the single-use 6-digit code we send you (valid for 10 minutes). With Google or Apple sign-in: the identifier, name and email those services provide.
• If sync is on, the uploaded copies of the tracking records and photos above. This is pregnancy and health data (see section 4).
• Family/partner sharing: family invite code, membership; the records you choose to share with your partner.
• A session token so we can recognise the device you signed in on.

c) Premium subscription. Purchases are made through the Apple App Store or Google Play; we never see or store your card details. We use RevenueCat to manage your subscription status; a random user ID and your purchase status are sent to RevenueCat.

d) Community (forum). If you post in the forum, your forum nickname, your topics and replies, likes, and your reports and blocks are processed. Forum content is public; we recommend not sharing health details there.

e) Technical logs. Our server keeps standard logs for security and debugging, such as request time, IP address and app version.

What we do not use: location, contacts, microphone, advertising ID; advertising, behavioural analytics or third-party tracking SDKs.

4. Health data and explicit consent

Your pregnancy details, weight, blood pressure, blood glucose, symptoms and appointments are health data, a special category of personal data under Turkish Law No. 6698 (KVKK) and Article 9 GDPR. We transfer this data off your device (to our server) only when you start syncing / create an account of your own accord and give your explicit consent.

You can withdraw your consent at any time, without retroactive effect, by deleting your account or writing to peakfirestudio@gmail.com. If you withdraw, your health data on the server is deleted; local use on your device continues.

5. Purposes and legal bases

• Providing the app, managing your account, enabling sync and partner sharing: performance of a contract.
• Storing your health data on the server: your explicit consent.
• Verifying your subscription entitlement: performance of a contract.
• Security, preventing abuse, forum moderation: legitimate interests and legal obligation.

6. Who do we share data with?

We do not sell your data. We share it only with the following service providers, to the extent needed for the service to work:

• Hostinger: server and hosting.
• RevenueCat: subscription status (random user ID, purchase information).
• Apple and Google: sign-in and in-app purchases.
• Email delivery service: to send your sign-in code.
• Your partner/family members: only the records you choose to share.
• Public authorities: only where required by law.

Some of these providers may be located outside your country; such transfers are based on your explicit consent (KVKK Art. 9) or, where applicable, GDPR safeguards.

7. Retention and deletion

• When you delete your account in the app, your account, the pregnancy and tracking records on the server, your family membership and your uploaded photos are deleted immediately. Subscription records are kept without a link to you.
• Your forum topics and replies are anonymised (“Anonymous”); likes, reports and blocks are deleted.
• When you delete a record in the app, it stays marked as deleted on the server for up to 90 days so that sync stays consistent, and is then permanently removed.
• Sign-in codes expire after 10 minutes and are cleaned up; session tokens unused for 30 days are deleted.
• Data that exists only on your device disappears when you uninstall the app or delete it in the app.

8. Your rights

Under KVKK Article 11 (and GDPR if you live in the EU/EEA) you have the right to:

• know whether your data is processed and request information about it;
• request correction of inaccurate data, and deletion or destruction of data;
• export your data (JSON/PDF export in the app);
• object to processing and withdraw consent;
• claim compensation for damages and lodge a complaint with the Turkish Personal Data Protection Authority or your local supervisory authority.

Send requests to peakfirestudio@gmail.com; we reply within 30 days.

9. Children

The app is intended for pregnant individuals and is not directed at children under 13. If you are under 18, please use the app with a parent’s knowledge.

10. Security

Connections to our server are encrypted with HTTPS; changes to data are made through token-authenticated sessions and only authorised people can access the admin panel. No method is 100% secure, but we take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data.

11. Changes

We may update this policy. We will announce material changes in the app or on this page; the current version is always at this address.
