How we use it

We use what you give only to run the app for you: to sign you in, to show you your centre, to ring your reminders, to keep your records, and to fix problems. We do not sell your information and we do not use it for advertising.

How long we keep it

Your information is kept while your account is open. When you delete your account, you are signed out everywhere at once and everything about you, your name, email, phone, photo and reminders, is erased after 30 days. Until then we can bring your account back if you change your mind.

Deleting your account and your information

You can ask for your account and your information to be deleted at any time. Everything about you is erased 30 days after you ask.

In the app: open your profile and choose Delete my account.
If you cannot sign in, for example you removed the app or forgot your password, ask on the deletion page and you will get a confirmation number.
