1. Information We Collect
We collect information that you provide, information generated through your use of the Services, information from your device, and information from service providers that help us operate the Services.
Account and contact information
- Name or display name.
- Email address.
- Authentication identifiers, such as your Clerk user ID.

- Health profile fields you choose to enter, such as allergies, current medications, medication restrictions, and caregiver notes.
- Caregiver roles or household membership information, where available.
Journal, health, routine, and development data
The app is designed to help families record child care and development information. Depending on what you enter, this information can be sensitive because it may relate to a child's health, routines, nutrition, development, and family care.
- Feeding logs, including breast feed, bottle feed, solid feed, amounts, units, food names, and notes.
- Sleep logs, including naps, night sleep, start/end times, duration, and notes.
- Diaper, bath, walk, medicine, temperature, and doctor visit logs.
- Medicine names, administration type, quantities, units, and notes.
- Growth measurements, including height, weight, head circumference, values, units, dates, and notes.
- Milestones, milestone categories, dates, and notes.
- Reminder titles, schedules, enabled status, and notification settings.
- Generated summaries, doctor briefs, food suggestions, community insights, growth snapshots, and other app outputs.
Location and weather-related information
Some care guidance features, such as weather-aware bath guidance, may request location permission. If you grant permission, we may process latitude and longitude, reverse-geocoded city, region, and country, and local weather context such as temperature, apparent temperature, and weather code.
We use this information to provide the feature you requested. We do not use precise location for advertising or cross-app tracking.
Device, notification, and technical information
- Device platform, such as iOS or Android.
- Expo push token.
- Generated notification installation ID.
- App environment and version where available.
- Notification preferences and delivery-related metadata.
- Basic operational data needed to secure, debug, and operate the Services.
Purchase and subscription information
If you use paid features, we may process RevenueCat customer and entitlement information, subscription status, active subscriptions, purchase, restore, paywall outcomes, and App Store or Google Play billing-related information made available through RevenueCat or the store. We do not directly collect full payment card numbers.
Analytics and product interaction data
Analytics is essential to the Services. We use analytics to operate, secure, debug, improve, personalize, measure, and provide features such as insights, summaries, premium access, and community-based comparisons.
Analytics may include user ID or analytics distinct ID, platform and environment, account tier and entitlement status, country, language, consent status, product interaction events, and derived buckets or booleans such as baby age bucket, signup age bucket, log count bucket, active days bucket, sample count bucket, percentile bucket, reminder status, push token status, and whether certain log categories exist.
We intentionally avoid sending raw free-text notes, child names, exact dates of birth, exact measurements, medicine names, food names, or message contents to product analytics providers unless needed for a specific requested feature, security, support, abuse investigation, legal compliance, or operational issue.
If you do not want essential analytics processing, you should not use the Services, except where applicable law gives you a non-waivable right to object or opt out.
Communications and support
- Your email address.
- The recipient email address you provide.
- Email subject and body.
- Summary or doctor brief content sent at your request.
- Support messages and related metadata.
2. How We Use Information
- To create and manage accounts.
- To authenticate users and sync data across devices.
- To create and manage child profiles.
- To record, display, edit, and organize logs, measurements, milestones, reminders, and notes.
- To provide growth charts, routines, weekly summaries, doctor briefs, food suggestions, AI-assisted care guidance, and community insights.
- To generate de-identified or aggregated community benchmarks.
- To provide push notifications and reminder delivery.
- To send email summaries and doctor briefs when requested.
- To provide subscriptions, premium access, purchase restoration, billing support, and entitlement synchronization.

- To analyze feature usage, improve product quality, debug issues, prevent abuse, and protect security.
- To comply with law, enforce our terms, resolve disputes, and protect the rights, safety, and integrity of users, children, caregivers, our Services, and third parties.
3. AI-Assisted Features
Some features may use automated systems, machine learning, or third-party AI providers to generate informational outputs, including food suggestions, care guidance, doctor briefs, summaries, and insights.
To provide these features, we may send a bounded prompt payload to our AI provider. Depending on the feature, the prompt may include child age, sex at birth, country, weight, feeding method, health profile details, recent medicine or temperature logs, growth context, feeding context, sleep context, milestones, appointment date, location/weather context, and other information needed to provide the requested output.
AI outputs are informational only. They are not medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, emergency care, prescription, medication dosing instructions, or a substitute for a licensed pediatrician or other qualified professional.
4. Community Insights and Aggregated Data
Community insights compare eligible records against cohort-level data, such as age-week benchmarks. If community benchmarking is enabled by an authorized account holder, we may transform eligible child records into de-identified or aggregated metrics.
We use those metrics to provide community insights, calculate cohort-level comparisons, improve feature quality, and understand whether there is enough sample data for a given age group or metric.
We do not show another family's raw records to you, and we do not show your raw records to another family. Community insights may be unavailable, delayed, filtered, or based on limited data.
If you disable community benchmarking, future eligible data will stop being included in that optional community benchmarking flow. Disabling community benchmarking does not necessarily remove aggregate metrics already created or outputs already delivered, where those aggregates no longer identify a specific child or account.
5. How We Share Information
We do not sell personal information. We do not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not use personal information for third-party advertising or data brokerage.
We may share information with service providers that help us operate the Services, including Clerk, Convex, PostHog, RevenueCat, Apple Sign In, Google Sign-In, Apple App Store, Google Play, OpenRouter and underlying model providers, Resend, Expo push notification services, Open-Meteo, and cloud, hosting, security, monitoring, and infrastructure providers.
We may also disclose information when you direct us to do so, to comply with law or enforceable governmental requests, to protect rights, safety, security, and service integrity, or in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, or similar business transaction subject to appropriate protections where required by law.
6. Legal Bases Where Applicable
- Performance of a contract, to provide the Services you request.
- Consent, such as for location permission, notification permission, and optional community benchmarking where applicable.
- Legitimate interests, such as security, fraud prevention, analytics, debugging, service improvement, and product measurement.
- Legal obligations, such as compliance, billing, tax, consumer protection, or law enforcement obligations.
- Vital interests or safety-related purposes, where necessary to protect someone from harm and permitted by law.
7. Children and Parental Rights
The Services are intended for adults. Children should not create accounts or use the Services directly.
Parents, guardians, and authorized adult caregivers may enter child-related information into the Services. If you believe that a child has provided information directly to us without appropriate adult authorization, contact us at info@thebabyjournalapp.com.
Parents or legal guardians may contact us to request access, correction, deletion, or review of child-related information associated with their account, subject to verification, account ownership, safety, legal, billing, fraud prevention, and operational requirements.
8. Your Choices and Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access personal information, correct inaccurate personal information, delete personal information, receive a copy of personal information, object to or restrict certain processing, withdraw consent where processing is based on consent, and appeal a decision we make about a privacy request where required by law.
To make a request, contact us at info@thebabyjournalapp.com. We may need to verify your identity and authority before responding. Some information may be retained where necessary for security, billing, fraud prevention, legal compliance, dispute resolution, or legitimate operational purposes.
You can also control certain processing through device settings, such as location permissions, notification permissions, lock screen notification display, and app permissions.
9. Data Retention
We keep information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the Services, maintain your account, operate subscriptions, deliver reminders, generate insights, comply with law, resolve disputes, prevent fraud or abuse, enforce agreements, and support legitimate business purposes.
Account, profile, child profile, logs, measurements, milestones, reminders, and notes may be retained while your account or relevant child profile remains active. Analytics and product interaction data may be retained to measure usage, improve the Services, debug issues, and protect security. Purchase, entitlement, webhook, billing, and email delivery records may be retained for subscription, accounting, legal, fraud-prevention, rate-limit, support, and delivery documentation purposes.
De-identified, aggregated, or derived data may be retained and used after account or child profile deletion where permitted by law and where it no longer identifies a specific child or account.
10. Security
We use reasonable technical, organizational, and administrative safeguards designed to protect information. However, no method of transmission, storage, or processing is completely secure. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials, securing your devices, and controlling who can access your account, exports, emails, notifications, and shared information.
11. International Data Processing
We and our service providers may process information in countries other than the country where you live, including the United States and other locations where our providers operate. Data protection laws in those countries may differ from the laws in your jurisdiction. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for international transfers.
12. Notifications, Emails, and Shared Recipients
Push notifications and emails may display child names, reminder titles, care details, summaries, or doctor brief information in lock screens, notification previews, inbox previews, forwarded emails, or recipient accounts. You are responsible for choosing recipients carefully and configuring device, notification, and email privacy settings.
13. Third-Party Links and Services
The Services may link to or depend on third-party websites, platforms, app stores, billing providers, authentication providers, analytics providers, AI providers, email providers, notification providers, and cloud providers. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, availability, accuracy, or security of third-party services.
14. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When required by law, we will provide notice through the app, website, or another reasonable method. The updated Privacy Policy will be effective when posted unless a different effective date is stated.
