Privacy & Terms

Introduction

Dads Journey ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application (the "App").

Please read this privacy policy carefully. If you do not agree with the terms of this privacy policy, please do not access the application. Your continued use of the App constitutes your agreement to the collection and use of information as described herein.

Information We Collect

We collect information that you voluntarily provide to us when you register on the App and when you use specific features.

1. Personal Information

When you register or update your profile, we may collect: your name, your partner's name, your baby's expected due date or date of birth, and your email address (for secure authentication).

2. Health and Activity Data

To provide pregnancy and baby tracking features, we collect: pregnancy week and trimester progress (derived from your due date), your baby's age and milestones (derived from date of birth), kick counter and contraction timer logs, feeding and diaper logs, vaccination records, and tests, scans and doctor visits you add.

3. User Content

We collect content you create within the App, including memories (letters, notes, photos and voice notes), baby name preferences, and messages or photos you send to GynAI, our AI assistant.

4. Financial Data

If you use the Baby Budget feature, we collect budget limits and expense amounts you enter.

AI Interaction Data (GynAI)

When you use GynAI, our AI parenting assistant:

• We process your chat messages, image uploads and questions.
• To personalize answers to your baby, we include relevant context from your account, such as your pregnancy week or your baby's age, names you have added, and related logs (for example vaccination or feeding records).
• If you ask GynAI to record something (for example a vaccine dose), it saves that entry to your account.
• This context is sent only to our AI provider (see Third-Party Services) to generate your answer. We never sell this data or share it for advertising, and we do not use your personal conversation data to train public AI models.

Disclaimer: GynAI is an AI assistant intended for informational and peer-support purposes only. It is NOT a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult qualified doctors or pediatricians with any medical concerns.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to operate, improve, and personalize the App experience:

• Create and manage your account and securely log you in.
• Calculate and display weekly pregnancy updates and your baby's development and milestones.
• Send reminders for upcoming tests, appointments and vaccinations.
• Provide personalized suggestions, partner-care tips and answers via GynAI.
• Store, back up and sync your memories, logs, budgets and photos across your devices.
• Create share cards and exports you request, such as your vaccination card.
• Improve App performance, fix bugs, and refine the user experience.

Third-Party Services

We do not sell your personal data or share it for advertising. We only share information with the service providers we need to run the App:

• Supabase: We use Supabase for authentication, secure cloud database storage, and file hosting. Your account, entries and files are stored on their secure servers.
• Google Gemini (AI): We use Google's Gemini API to power GynAI. When you chat with GynAI, your questions and the relevant context described above are processed through Google's APIs under strict confidentiality terms, only to generate your answer.

Data Security

We protect your family's data with administrative, technical, and physical security measures:

• All network communication between the App and our backend servers is encrypted using standard SSL/TLS protocols.
• Access rules on our database ensure your data can only be read by your own account.
• However, no electronic transmission over the internet or database storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Account Deletion & Your Rights

We believe you own your data. You have the right to access, edit, or delete any content you create.

How to Delete Your Account & Data (App Store Guideline 5.1.1.1)

You can delete your profile and all associated data at any time:

1. Go to Profile Settings > Account inside the Dads Journey app.
2. Tap the Delete Account button and confirm.
3. Alternatively, email us at dadjourneyapp@gmail.com requesting account removal.

Warning: Account deletion is permanent. Once confirmed, your profile, memories, photos and voice notes, logs (including feeding, vaccination, kick and contraction records), budgets and GynAI chat history are permanently deleted from our databases and cannot be recovered.

Your Rights Under GDPR

If you are in the European Union, the United Kingdom or another region with similar data protection laws, you have the right to access a copy of your personal data, correct it, restrict or object to its processing, receive it in a portable format, and have it erased. To exercise any of these rights, email us at dadjourneyapp@gmail.com. We will respond within one month.

Children's Privacy

Although the App tracks baby progress and parenting details, the App is designed for and intended for use exclusively by adults (expectant fathers and parents). We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children under the age of 13. If you believe we have inadvertently gathered data from a child under 13, please contact us immediately, and we will take prompt measures to delete it.

The Licensed Application may enable access to the Licensor’s and/or third-party services, content, and websites (collectively and individually, "External Services"), including Supabase storage and Google Gemini APIs.

• You agree to use the External Services at your sole risk. Licensor is not responsible for examining or evaluating the content or accuracy of any third-party External Services.
• Data displayed by the app or External Services (such as budget numbers, dates, contraction durations, medical info, and AI advice) is for general informational purposes only and is not guaranteed.
• You will not use External Services in any manner that is inconsistent with these terms or that infringes intellectual property. You agree not to use the services to harass, stalk, defame, or abuse anyone.

e. NO WARRANTY

YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT USE OF THE APP IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE APP AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.

LICENSOR DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND ACCURACY. NO ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION OR ADVICE SHALL CREATE A WARRANTY. SHOULD THE APP PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE ENTIRE COST OF ALL SERVICING OR REPAIRS.

Specifically, you represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country; and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

i. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

This Agreement and the relationship between you and Apple (as a third-party beneficiary) shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, excluding its conflicts of law provisions. You agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located within the county of Santa Clara, California, to resolve any dispute.
