Privacy Policy
Your health data is sensitive. Here's exactly how Flowa handles it.
Flowa stores your data on your device. There are no accounts and no sign-in, and nothing is sent to us or anyone else — unless you choose to turn on AI Insights, which sends only a small, non-identifying summary to generate them.
Flowa ("we", "our", or "the app") is a health and spiritual companion app for Muslim women, available on iOS and Android. This Privacy Policy explains what information the app handles, where it is stored, and the control you have over it. Flowa is built to be private by design: it works offline and keeps your information on your device.
1. Information We Collect
Flowa has no accounts and no sign-in. We do not collect an email address, and we do not receive a copy of your data. The information below is entered by you and stored only on your device:
Profile Information
- Name (optional), date of birth, and marital status
- Typical period length and, if you use pregnancy tracking, your due date
Health & Faith Data
- Menstrual cycle dates (logged and predicted)
- Daily logs: flow intensity, symptoms (e.g., cramps, fatigue, bloating), and mood
- Qada fast records: Ramadan year, days missed, reason, and progress made up
- Prayer tracking and ghusl completion dates
- Trying-to-conceive and pregnancy logs, when you use those features
2. How Your Data Is Stored
All of your data is stored locally on your device using on-device storage (AsyncStorage). There is no cloud database, no backend, and no account. Because your data lives on your device, we recommend enabling your device's screen lock and biometric protection.
3. Sensitive Health Information
Flowa handles sensitive personal health data, including menstrual cycle information and Islamic religious-practice records. This data stays on your device and is never used for advertising or analytics. It is used only to power the features of the app on your device.
4. AI Insights (Optional)
Flowa offers optional AI-generated insights — such as pregnancy stage summaries, reflections on how you may be feeling, cycle summaries, and conception guidance. These features are turned off by default.
When you enable them, a small, non-identifying summary of the relevant data (for example, your current cycle phase, recent symptom or mood counts, or your pregnancy week) is sent over a secure connection to Google's Gemini AI, through Flowa's private service, to generate the response. Your full history is not sent, your name is not sent, and there is no account or contact information to send. This information is used only to generate your insight and is not used to train AI models.
AI Insights are supportive guidance, not medical advice. You can turn AI Insights off at any time from your Profile, and nothing is sent when they are off.
5. Purchases & Subscriptions
Some features, including AI Insights, are part of an optional paid subscription (Flowa Premium). Purchases are processed by the Apple App Store or Google Play and managed on our behalf by RevenueCat, our subscription provider. Flowa does not see or store your payment card details. To verify an active subscription, a non-identifying subscription identifier may be checked against RevenueCat and the app store. We do not receive your name, email, or health data through this process.
6. Data Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data. The only time any data leaves your device is when you have enabled AI Insights, and then only the limited summary described in Section 4 is sent to generate your insight. If you never enable AI Insights, Flowa makes no network requests with your data.
7. Third-Party Services
- Google Gemini AI (accessed through Flowa's private service) — used only when AI Insights are enabled, to generate insights.
- RevenueCat and the Apple App Store / Google Play — used only to process and verify optional subscriptions.
We do not use advertising networks or behavioural analytics platforms. Each provider's own privacy practices are governed by their respective policies.
8. Notifications
If you enable notifications, Flowa schedules local, on-device reminders (such as period predictions and ghusl reminders). These are processed entirely on your device, and no notification content is transmitted to us.
9. Apple HealthKit
Flowa does not currently integrate with Apple HealthKit. If HealthKit integration is added in a future version, this policy will be updated prior to the release.
10. Deleting Your Data
Because your data lives on your device, you are always in control of it. You can clear all of your data at any time from within the app, and it will be permanently removed from your device. Uninstalling the app also removes your data. This action cannot be undone.
11. Children's Privacy
Flowa is not intended for users under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal data, please contact us and we will help remove it.
12. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above and notify users within the app where appropriate. Continued use of Flowa after changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
