Privacy policy

Last updated: 29 October 2026

In short

• Your Pausie diary stays on your phone. Cycle, symptoms, medications, lab results and notes are stored only on your device, in an encrypted database. There is no account, no server copy and no cloud sync. We never receive your diary, so we cannot read, sell or share it.
• This website uses analytics and advertising cookies only if you agree. If you say no, the website works the same.
• We never send health information to analytics or advertising providers.

2. The Pausie app

2.1 What stays on your phone

Everything you record in the app (periods, symptoms, mood, hot flashes, medications and supplements, doses taken or skipped, lab results, conditions, questions for your doctor, notes, your life phase and settings) is stored only on your device, in an encrypted database. The encryption key is kept in your phone's secure storage.

Because this information never leaves your device, we do not collect or process it. We also cannot restore it if your phone is lost, so please use the app's encrypted backup. The app is also excluded from Android's automatic backup to your Google account, so your diary is not copied to the cloud that way either.

2.2 Apple Health and Health Connect

If you choose to connect Health Connect (Android), the app reads sleep, resting heart rate, heart rate variability and steps. It only reads, and only while the app is open. It keeps a copy of these values in the same encrypted database on your phone, so it can show them next to your own entries and in the report you create for your doctor. This data is never sent to us or anyone else and is never used for advertising or marketing.

If you ask it to, the app also reads your past periods and spotting days from Health Connect once, for the last two years, so you do not have to type them in. It shows you what it found and saves it into your diary only when you confirm. It never reads ovulation or any other cycle data, never predicts anything from it, and never writes to Health Connect. You can undo the import in the app.

You can disconnect at any time in the app (Devices & health) or in Health Connect. Disconnecting in the app also deletes the copy.

Apple Health (iPhone) will work the same way once the iPhone version is available.

2.3 Medication scanner

If you use the medication scanner, the app takes one photo of a medicine box with your camera and reads the name and strength on your phone. The photo is deleted right after reading and is never sent anywhere. To correct the name it read, the app compares it with a list of medicine names that is part of the app (source: European Medicines Agency, list of medicines authorised in the EU; only the names are used). You check and confirm everything before it is saved. The scanner never suggests a dose. Camera access is asked for only when you open the scanner, and you can withdraw it in your phone's settings.

2.4 Lab report scanner

If you use the lab report scanner, the app reads, on your phone, one photo of a printed lab report taken with your camera, or a PDF or picture of a report that you pick on your phone. It reads only the name, the value and the unit of the tests the app knows (TSH, fT4, fT3, TPO antibodies, estradiol, FSH). Reference ranges, flags and comments are not read, and the app never interprets a value. The photo, and the copy of the file the app makes for reading, are deleted right after reading and are never sent anywhere. Your original file is not changed. The values go into the entry form, and you check each one before it is saved. Camera access is asked for only when you open the scanner, and you can withdraw it in your phone's settings.

2.5 Files you create and share

You can create a PDF report for your doctor, a list for your pharmacist, a CSV/JSON export or an encrypted backup. These files are created on your phone and go only where you choose to send them. Once you share a file, the terms of the service you share it through apply.

The list for your pharmacist can also be shown as a QR code. The code contains the list itself; nothing is uploaded anywhere.

2.6 Reminders

Medication reminders are local notifications created on your phone. With "discreet notifications" on, the lock screen shows only "Time for your reminder", never a medicine name.

2.7 Subscriptions (Pausie+)

Pausie+ is bought through the App Store (Apple) or Google Play (Google). They process the payment; we do not receive your payment details. To know whether your subscription is active, the app checks the purchase status directly with the App Store or Google Play on your phone. We do not use any other subscription or payment service, and no health data, name or email is shared for this.

The app remembers on your phone only whether Pausie+ is active. Apple and Google process your purchase as independent controllers under their own privacy policies.

Legal basis: performance of the contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).

2.8 What the app does not do

No analytics or advertising tools, no tracking pixels, no crash reporting, no selling or sharing of data, no profiling.

The app connects to the internet only to check or buy Pausie+ with the App Store or Google Play. Links (to this website or to a medication leaflet you saved) open in your browser.

2.9 Future features

If we add an optional feature that sends information off your phone (for example a question to an AI assistant), it will be off by default. We will show exactly what is sent, ask for your explicit consent first, and update this policy before the feature is released.

3. The website pausie.app

3.1 Server logs

When you visit the website, our hosting provider NEOSERV d.o.o. (Slovenia) automatically records technical data: IP address, date and time, the page requested, browser and device type. We use this only to keep the website secure and working, and logs are deleted after 30 days at the latest.

Legal basis: our legitimate interest in a secure website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

3.2 Cookies and similar technologies

When you first visit, we ask which cookies you allow. Analytics and advertising tools are loaded only after you agree. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time with "Cookie settings" at the bottom of the home page. Withdrawing consent does not affect what happened before.

Matomo runs on our own server, so this data is not shared with anyone. IP addresses are shortened (anonymised) before they are stored.

Google Analytics 4 and Google Ads: Google may process data in the USA. Google is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, and Standard Contractual Clauses apply. IP addresses are not stored by Google Analytics 4. More: policies.google.com/privacy.

Meta Pixel: we and Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd are jointly responsible for collecting and transmitting this data to Meta (Art. 26 GDPR); Meta is responsible for its further processing. Meta may process data in the USA under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. We send Meta only page views and, if we open a waitlist, the fact that someone signed up, never which symptoms or pages about health topics you looked at. More: facebook.com/privacy/policy.

3.3 Emails to us

If you write to us, we use your email address and message only to reply. We keep the conversation for 2 years after it ends, unless the law requires longer.

Legal basis: replying to your request (Art. 6(1)(b) and (f) GDPR).

3.4 iPhone waitlist

If you join the iPhone waitlist on pausie.app/ios, we store your email address, the language you chose and the date you signed up. We use them only to send you one email when Pausie is available in the App Store.

The list is stored on our own web server at our hosting provider NEOSERV d.o.o. in Slovenia. We do not use a mailing service, we do not share the list with anyone and we do not store your IP address with it. We delete the whole list after the launch email has been sent, and at the latest 12 months after you signed up.

You can withdraw your consent at any time by writing to hello@pausie.app. We then delete your address.

Legal basis: your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).

3.5 What we never ask for on the website

We never ask for health information on the website.

4. Your rights

You have the right to access your personal data, to correct or delete it, to restrict or object to its processing, to data portability, and to withdraw consent at any time. Write to privacy@pausie.app; we reply within one month.

Data kept only in the app is under your control on your phone: you can export everything (CSV/JSON) or delete everything in the app (Settings, Delete all data). Uninstalling the app also deletes it.

You can also lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority: Informacijski pooblaščenec Republike Slovenije, Dunajska cesta 22, 1000 Ljubljana, www.ip-rs.si, or with the authority in the EU country where you live.

5. Age

Pausie is for adults (18+). We do not knowingly collect data from minors.

6. Security

App data is encrypted on your device, and you can lock the app with Face ID, fingerprint or a PIN. The website is served only over an encrypted connection (HTTPS).

7. Changes

We will update this policy when our practices change and show the date at the top. We will announce important changes in the app or on the website.
