Privacy policy

Effective 8 October 2026 · Applies to the Saumya Android app and this website

1. Who we are

Saumya is a period-tracking app for Android. For any privacy question, write to yogirana5557@gmail.com.

2. What the app stores on your phone

To work, Saumya stores the following only on your device:

• Period dates and cycle details you log.
• Flow, symptoms, mood and notes you choose to add.
• Your typical period and cycle length, and an optional name or nickname used to greet you.
• App settings: language, theme, reminder times and the discreet-icon choice.
• If you turn on App Lock: a salted, hashed form of your PIN (never the PIN itself) and your biometric on/off choice. Fingerprint or face data is handled by Android and is never accessible to Saumya.

This data lives in the app's private storage and is removed when you erase it in the app or uninstall Saumya.

3. What we do not do

• We do not collect, transmit, sell, share or analyse your personal or health data. The app has no INTERNET permission, so it technically cannot send data over the network.
• We do not require an account, email address, phone number or any identifier.
• We do not show ads and do not include advertising, analytics or crash-reporting services.
• We do not use your data to train any model or to profile you.

4. Permissions the app asks for

• Notifications (optional): to show the reminders you turn on. We explain why before asking, and you can say no.
• Run at startup: so scheduled reminders are restored after your phone restarts.
• Biometrics (optional): to unlock the app with your fingerprint or face, if you enable it.

5. Backups and exports

Saumya can export your data to a file that is encrypted with a password you choose. The file is saved where you choose on your phone. You decide whether to store or share it. We cannot see it and cannot recover it: if you forget the password, the backup cannot be opened.

6. Your control

• Edit or delete any logged period or entry inside the app.
• Erase everything from Settings, or uninstall the app.
• Android backup: Saumya opts out of Android's automatic cloud backup, so your data is not copied to your Google account. The only way data leaves the app is an encrypted backup file you create yourself.

7. Feedback emails

If you email us, we receive your email address and what you write, and use it only to reply and improve the app. Please do not include health details. We do not add you to mailing lists.

8. This website

This website is static. It sets no cookies and uses no analytics. It loads fonts from Google Fonts, which may receive your IP address as part of delivering the font files. The Saumya app itself loads nothing from the internet.

9. Children

Saumya is intended for people who have periods and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone, because the app collects no data at all.

10. Not medical advice

Saumya shows estimates based on what you enter. It is not a medical device, does not diagnose or treat any condition and must not be used as contraception. Speak to a qualified doctor about health concerns.

11. Changes to this policy

If the app ever changes how it handles data, this policy will be updated first, and the date at the top will change.
