Privacy Policy

1. Who this policy applies to

This policy explains how GutCheck handles personal data when you use the GutCheck mobile app, website, and support channels.

2. Data we collect

• Account data: account identifier, email, and basic profile preferences.
• Health and wellness logs you provide: meals, symptoms, stool logs, mood/stress logs, medication logs, hydration logs, notes, and timestamps.
• Usage and diagnostics: limited operational events and technical data needed for reliability, security, and support.
• Subscription data: entitlement and purchase-status metadata from billing providers (we do not receive your full card details).
• Support communications: information you send us by email.

3. Why we process data

• Provide core app features (logging, syncing, insights, exports, account management).
• Authenticate users and protect account security.
• Enable premium subscription access and restore purchases.
• Operate, monitor, and improve reliability and performance.
• Respond to support requests and legal obligations.

4. Legal bases (where required)

Depending on your location, we process data based on one or more legal bases: performance of a contract (providing the app), legitimate interests (security/reliability), consent (where required), and legal obligations.

5. Third-party processors and integrations

We use service providers to operate the app. These may include providers for backend/database hosting, subscription infrastructure, and platform distribution (for example app stores). They process data only as needed to provide services to us under contractual controls.

6. Data sharing

We do not sell personal data. We may share data with processors, if required by law, or to protect rights, safety, and security.

7. Retention

We retain account and log data while your account is active and for a limited period afterward as needed for legal, security, fraud-prevention, backup, and dispute-handling purposes. You can request deletion via the app or the Delete Account page.

8. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal data. No method of storage or transmission is 100% secure.

9. International data transfers

Your data may be processed in countries other than your own. Where required, we apply appropriate safeguards under applicable law.

10. Your privacy rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to processing, and data portability. You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

11. Children

GutCheck is not directed to children under the minimum digital consent age in relevant jurisdictions. If you believe a child submitted personal data, contact us so we can take appropriate action.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy. Material updates will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date and, where required, by additional notice.
