Privacy Policy

Effective: 2026-04-29 · Apps covered: every app published by Marion Moranetz (developer ID melmarion).

The apps I publish are local-first. Almost everything you create or track stays on your device. None of my apps collect your personal information for any purpose, sell your data, share it with advertisers, or transmit it to my servers. Where data leaves your device, it is to deliver a feature you explicitly used (iCloud sync, sharing to a calendar, sharing to social media). I do not run analytics services that identify you.

What I collect

Nothing that identifies you, by default.

Most of my apps store all data locally in iOS's standard UserDefaults, on-device files, or HealthKit (for the apps that integrate with HealthKit). This data:

Stays on your device unless YOU choose to share it (export, share-sheet, iCloud)
Is not transmitted to me, my servers, or any third party
Is encrypted by iOS using your device passcode and the iOS Data Protection class

Possible exceptions (per-app)

If an app integrates with iCloud, the data syncs to YOUR iCloud account using Apple's CloudKit. I (the developer) cannot see it; only you can.

If an app shares to your iOS Calendar, Health, Photos, or Files app via Apple's standard share sheet, you authorize each share explicitly.

If an app uses Apple's "Sign in with Apple" (e.g. paired), I receive only your unique Apple ID identifier — never your real name or email unless you choose to share them, and even then I store nothing on a server.

Specific iOS permissions and why

Different apps in my catalog request different permissions. Each app only requests permissions for features it actually uses.

Permission	Apps	Why
HealthKit (Health data)	`forecast-ios`	To save and read menstrual cycle entries you log. Data stays in iOS Health, never leaves your device.
Calendars	`paired`	To add compatibility milestones to your calendar when you opt in. Read access only when you initiate a calendar action.
Motion (CMMotionManager)	`forecast-ios`	To refine cycle predictions using activity correlations. Motion data is never stored, never transmitted, used only at the moment of computation.
Notifications	various	To remind you of streaks, scheduled events, or completion of in-app sessions. You can disable per-app in iOS Settings.
Microphone	none currently	No app I publish currently records audio. If this changes, this section will be updated.
Camera	none currently	Same as above.

Children's privacy (COPPA)

My apps are not directed at children under 13. I don't knowingly collect any data from anyone, but if you believe a child has interacted with one of my apps and you have concerns, contact me using the support address below.

Third-party services

The apps in my catalog do not use:

Third-party analytics (no Mixpanel, Amplitude, Segment, etc.)
Advertising SDKs (no AdMob, Facebook Audience Network, Unity Ads, etc.)
Crash reporters that send data off-device (no Sentry, Crashlytics, Bugsnag)
Tracking SDKs

If I ever add any of the above to a specific app, this policy will be updated and that app's release notes will call it out.

Your rights

Because data stays on your device, your rights translate to standard iOS controls:

Delete your data: delete the app, or use the in-app reset / clear options.
Export your data: apps that support export include a Settings option for it. If a specific app doesn't, contact me.
Stop tracking: there's nothing to stop. None of my apps track you.

For users in the EU (GDPR), California (CCPA), Brazil (LGPD), or other jurisdictions with formal data rights — because no personal data is collected on my servers, there's no controller-side data to access, port, or erase. Local data is governed by Apple's iOS standards and your control of your device.

Changes to this policy

I'll update this policy with a new "Effective" date at the top.
I'll note the change in the next App Store release notes.
