Overview

Potty Watch Tracker ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy and the privacy of your family. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our iOS application.

We understand that you are tracking sensitive information about your child's development, and we take the responsibility of protecting this data very seriously. We will never sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.

  • Child Information: Your child's first name (used only for personalization within the app)
  • User Information: Your name (to identify who logs events)
  • Event Data: Potty training events including type, location, timing, Bristol stool type, and optional notes
  • Contact Information: Email address only when you voluntarily contact us for support

  • Device Information: Device type, iOS version, and unique device identifier (for device-based authentication)
  • Usage Data: App feature usage, crash reports, and performance metrics (anonymized)

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide and maintain the app's functionality

  • Send notifications about events logged by family members
  • Improve app performance and fix bugs

Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored using industry-standard security measures:

  • Encryption: All data is encrypted in transit using TLS/SSL and at rest using AES-256 encryption
  • Access Controls: Row-level security ensures you can only access your own family's data
  • Regular Backups: Automated hourly backups protect against data loss
  • Device Authentication: No passwords are stored; authentication is device-based

Information Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information. We may share information only in these circumstances:

  • Family Sharing: With family members you explicitly invite to track the same child
  • Service Providers: With trusted third-party services that help us operate the app (e.g., cloud hosting), under strict confidentiality agreements

Data Retention

We retain your data as long as your account is active. Inactive accounts are automatically deleted after 30 days of inactivity. You can delete your account at any time, which immediately and permanently removes all your data from our servers.

Children's Privacy

Our app is designed for parents to track their children's potty training progress. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13. All data input is performed by parents or authorized caregivers. The app does not include any features that allow children to input data or communicate with others.

Third-Party Services

Our app may contain links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.

Analytics

We use privacy-focused analytics to understand app usage and improve performance. This data is anonymized and cannot be linked back to individual users.

Updates to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by updating the "Last Updated" date and, for significant changes, providing in-app notifications. Your continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
