Who we are
MothersTouch is built and published by Sun Ventures (sunventures.studio). You can email me.
The data MothersTouch handles
Everything below is stored only inside the MothersTouch app on your iPhone, using Apple's standard on-device storage (AsyncStorage). It is never sent off your device by us.
We handle:
- Your period start dates — the dates you log when your period begins.
- Your cycle length preference — defaults to 28 days; learned automatically from your logged history.
- Your nickname — optional, what you'd like us to call you.
- Your check-in acknowledgements — which daily nudges you tapped "I needed this" on.
- Your notification preferences — whether daily check-ins are on, and the time you've chosen.
- Your calendar-sync preference — whether you've turned on the rest-day calendar feature.
- Your mood selections — when you tap a mood chip on the check-in screen (the selection is used to personalize that one message and is not persisted as a history).
- Phase memory — which cycle phase the app last greeted you in, so the phase-transition message doesn't repeat.
Where your data lives
On your iPhone. That's the whole answer.
We do not run servers that hold your data. We do not have analytics. We do not have ad tracking. We do not have an account system, so there is nothing to log in to, no email list, no profile.
If you delete the MothersTouch app, all of this data is erased from your phone. If you uninstall and reinstall, you will go through onboarding again from scratch.
You can also clear all data inside the app at any time: Settings → Reset everything.
What we collect
Nothing. No personal information, no cycle data, no analytics events, no usage data, no device identifiers. We have nothing to share with third parties because we have nothing at all.
In Apple's App Store privacy section, MothersTouch is declared as "Data Not Collected."
iOS permissions we may ask for
MothersTouch may request these iOS permissions. You can deny any of them and the app will still work — you'll just lose the feature tied to that permission.
Notifications
What it's for: delivering your daily check-in (e.g., "Day 14. You are in full bloom.") at the time you've chosen in Settings.
How it works: notifications are scheduled locally on your iPhone using Apple's built-in notification system. We do not use push tokens or any remote notification service. No notification content ever passes through a server.
You can disable notifications anytime in MothersTouch → Settings → Send me a check-in, or in iOS Settings → MothersTouch → Notifications.
Calendar
What it's for: the optional "Block rest days" feature, which creates gentle all-day events on your iPhone's Calendar app — labeled as 🩸 Period, 🌷 Fertile, 🌸 Ovulation, 🌙 Period predicted, and 🍃 Wind down.
How it works: events are created only in a dedicated calendar named "MothersTouch" so we can cleanly remove them if you toggle the feature off. No event data is ever read from or sent to any server. Disabling the toggle deletes the events; uninstalling the app removes the entire MothersTouch calendar.
You can revoke calendar access anytime in iOS Settings → MothersTouch → Calendars.
Third-party services
None. MothersTouch does not include any third-party analytics, advertising, crash-reporting, payment, or social-sharing SDK in version 1.0.
If a future version introduces a third party (for example, a subscription provider for a paid tier), this policy will be updated before that version ships, and the new third party's role will be described here in plain language.
Children
MothersTouch is intended for users 13 years of age and older. We do not knowingly handle data from anyone under 13. If a parent or guardian believes a child under 13 has used the app, they may delete the app to remove all data from the device.
Your rights
Because we collect nothing, most "data subject" rights (under GDPR, CCPA, and similar laws) do not require us to take action — there is no copy of your data on our servers to access, correct, or delete.
You retain full control of the only copy of your data, which lives on your iPhone:
- Access: open the MothersTouch app to see all of it.
- Correct or delete an individual entry: Settings → "Edit" your last period, or "Remove" an entry from "Earlier periods."
- Delete everything: Settings → Reset everything. Or delete the MothersTouch app from your home screen.
If you have any question about how the app handles your data, email me.
Health data
MothersTouch does not integrate with Apple Health in version 1.0. If a future version does, that integration will be opt-in, will be described clearly in this policy, and will follow Apple's HealthKit privacy rules.
Security
Your data is stored using Apple's standard on-device app storage (AsyncStorage), protected by the same iOS sandbox that protects every other app's data. Because nothing leaves your device, the privacy guarantee comes from physical possession of your phone rather than from server-side controls.
We recommend you use a device passcode and Face ID / Touch ID, like you would for any health-related app.
Changes to this policy
If we update this policy, we will:
- Update the "Last updated" date at the top.
- If the change is material (for example, a new permission, a new feature that involves a third party, or any change in what we collect), surface a brief notice the next time you open the app.
The current version is always reachable from inside the app at Settings → Privacy policy.
