1. Who We Are
Peri ("we," "us," or "our") is a perimenopause wellness tracking application. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use the Peri mobile application and website (collectively, the "Service").
For questions about this policy, contact us at support@periclue.app.
2. Information We Collect
2a. Information You Provide
- Account information: name, email address, and password when you create an account
- Profile information: age, perimenopause stage, focus areas, and preferences set during onboarding
- Health tracking data: symptoms, mood, energy levels, nutrition, medications, supplements, lab results, and doctor notes that you manually enter
- AI conversations: messages you send to Ask Peri (our AI assistant)
2b. Information from Apple Health (HealthKit)
With your explicit permission, we read the following data from Apple Health:
- Sleep analysis (duration, stages, efficiency)
- Heart rate variability (HRV)
- Resting heart rate (RHR)
- Workouts (type, duration, heart rate)
- Basal body temperature
- Menstrual cycle data
- Steps and active energy
We never write data to Apple Health. HealthKit data is used exclusively to calculate your Peri scores (Sleep, Restoration, Activity) and generate personalized insights. We do not sell, share, or use HealthKit data for advertising or marketing purposes.
2c. Information Collected Automatically
- Device information: device model, operating system version, app version
- Usage data: features used, screens viewed, timestamps
- Network information: IP address (used for rate limiting and security, not tracking)
3. How We Use Your Information
- Provide the Service: calculate health scores, generate insights, personalize recommendations
- AI-powered features: Ask Peri conversations are sent to Anthropic's Claude API for processing. Anthropic does not retain your data after processing (zero-retention API)
- Improve the Service: understand usage patterns, fix bugs, improve algorithms
- Communications: send password reset emails, important service updates, and (with your consent) wellness reminders via push notifications
- Security: rate limiting, fraud prevention, and protecting against unauthorized access
4. How We Store and Protect Your Data
- Database: your data is stored in encrypted PostgreSQL databases hosted by Neon (neon.tech) and Vercel KV (Redis)
- Encryption: all data is encrypted in transit (TLS/HTTPS) and at rest
- Passwords: stored using bcrypt hashing — we cannot read your password
- Access: only the app's backend services access your data programmatically. No human reads your health data
5. Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with:
- Anthropic (Claude API): AI conversation processing with zero-retention policy
- Vercel: hosting and infrastructure provider
- Neon: database hosting provider
- Resend: transactional email delivery (password resets only)
- Apple: push notification delivery via APNs
All service providers are bound by their own privacy policies and data processing agreements. We do not share HealthKit data with any third party for advertising, marketing, or data brokerage.
6. Your Rights
- Access: you can view all your data within the app at any time
- Export: contact us to request a full export of your data
- Deletion: you can delete your entire account and all associated data from Settings within the app. Deletion is permanent and completed within 30 days
- Correction: you can edit your profile and health entries at any time
7. Data Retention
We retain your data for as long as your account is active. When you delete your account, all personal data, health records, AI conversation history, and cached scores are permanently deleted within 30 days. Anonymized, aggregated statistics may be retained for service improvement.
8. Children's Privacy
Peri is designed for adults experiencing perimenopause (typically ages 35-58). We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If we learn we have collected data from a minor, we will delete it promptly.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes via email or in-app notification. Your continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
