We do not collect precise location data or contact lists.
We do collect the following information:

4. Legal Basis for Processing
We process your personal data on the following legal bases under UK GDPR Article 6:
| Data | Legal Basis |
|---|---|
| Account information (email, user ID) | Contract performance (Article 6(1)(b)) — necessary to provide the Womb Mates service |
| Feeding logs, child profiles, notes | Contract performance (Article 6(1)(b)) — the core functionality you have signed up for |
| Optional child profile photos | Consent (Article 6(1)(a)) — you may withdraw consent at any time by removing the photo |
| Device and app data (app version, device type) | Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f)) — to maintain and improve app stability and performance |
Where we rely on legitimate interests, we have assessed that those interests are not overridden by your rights and interests.
5. How We Use Information
We use data to:
- Provide app functionality.
- Sync data across devices signed in to the same account.
- Improve app stability and performance.
- Respond to support requests.
6. Data Sharing
We do not sell personal data.
Personal data may be processed by trusted third-party service providers that support operation of the app. These providers act as data processors on our behalf and are contractually required to protect your data and use it solely to provide their services. They include:
- Cloud hosting and database infrastructure providers
- Analytics and crash reporting services
7. Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to provide the Womb Mates service and maintain account functionality.
When an account is deleted, associated personal data and feeding records are permanently deleted or anonymised within a reasonable period, except where limited retention is required to comply with legal obligations or resolve disputes.
8. Your Rights
Under UK GDPR, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data:
- Right of access — you may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Right to rectification — you may request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Right to erasure — you may request deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances.
- Right to restriction — you may request that we restrict processing of your data in certain circumstances.
- Right to data portability — you may request a copy of data you have provided to us in a structured, machine-readable format.
- Right to object — you may object to processing based on legitimate interests.
- Right to withdraw consent — where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing prior to withdrawal.
To exercise any of these rights, contact support@wombmates.app.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority for data protection, at any time:
- Website: ico.org.uk
- Telephone: 0303 123 1113
We would, however, appreciate the opportunity to address any concern directly before you approach the ICO.
9. Children's Privacy
Womb Mates is intended for parents and caregivers. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children.
The app does process personal data about children (such as child names, dates of birth, and optional profile photos) where a parent or caregiver has provided that information. This data is processed on behalf of the parent or caregiver, on the legal basis of contract performance.
Parents and caregivers may request deletion of all associated data at any time via Profile → Delete Account, or by contacting support@wombmates.app.
10. Security
We protect data using industry-standard administrative, technical, and organisational safeguards, including encrypted data transmission (HTTPS/TLS) and controlled access to systems.
In the event of a personal data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the ICO within 72 hours as required by UK GDPR and, where appropriate, notify affected users without undue delay.
11. International Transfers
Some of our third-party service providers may process data outside the United Kingdom. Where this occurs, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as relying on the UK's adequacy regulations or UK International Data Transfer Agreements (IDTAs), to protect your data to a standard equivalent to UK GDPR.
12. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Material updates will be reflected by revising the "Last updated" date above.
