Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 27, 2026

Nordicular OY developed MenoZone as a free application featuring non-personalized advertisements, with an optional paid subscription to remove advertisements, for distribution through the Google Play Store and Apple App Store.

This Privacy Policy is intended to inform users about our practices regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information for individuals who choose to use our Service.

MenoZone is designed specifically for women aged 40 and above to support their wellness journey by tracking daily steps, physical activity, and sleep patterns, and by presenting clear, personalized graphs and visualizations based on this information. Users may optionally connect a third-party smartwatch or wearable device to enhance data accuracy. An optional annual auto-renewing subscription ("Ad-Free Annual") is available to remove advertisements for the duration of the subscription. Access to the App requires login with an email address or Google account.

This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information. By creating an account, you acknowledge these practices. Where we need your specific permission — for example, to access device sensors or to sync wellness data to the cloud — we will always ask separately through clear in-app prompts, and you can change your mind at any time.

Unless otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy, the terms used herein have the same meanings as those in our Terms and Conditions, available at https://menozone.app/terms.

Information Collection and Use

To provide an optimal user experience and secure access, the App requires login with an email address or Google account. We may request certain personally identifiable information (login credentials) or access to specific device sensors. Any information we request or automatically collect will be retained and used in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

We collect the following categories of data:

Fitness and health data This includes daily wellness entries such as energy, exercise, sleep, hydration, weight, step counts, menstrual cycle indicators, and symptoms. Such data is obtained from entries you make in the app or from your device's built-in sensors or an optionally connected third-party smartwatch or wearable. By default, all wellness data is processed and stored exclusively on your device. You may optionally enable Cloud Sync (an explicit in-app setting, disabled by default) to back up this data to our secure servers in the European Union/EEA. When Cloud Sync is enabled, your wellness data is transmitted to and stored on our servers solely to provide cross-device access and backup for your personal use. You can disable Cloud Sync at any time in Settings, and you can request deletion of all server-side wellness data at any time. Regardless of whether Cloud Sync is enabled, wellness data is never shared with third parties, never used for advertising, and never used for any purpose other than providing the Service to you.

Account data (including login-related data) When you create an account, we store your login identifier (email address or Google account ID) and, optionally, a display name and date of birth (day and month, and optionally year). Your name is used for personalized greetings within the app. Your birthday, if provided, is used to display a birthday greeting on your special day. Your app preferences (such as display settings and notification schedule) are stored on our servers to maintain a consistent experience across devices. This information is stored on our secure servers (located in the European Union/EEA).

Contact messages If you contact us through the in-app contact form, we store your email address and message content on our servers to respond to your inquiry. These messages are retained for as long as necessary to resolve your request and for reasonable follow-up, and are then deleted.

Subscription and purchase data If you subscribe to Ad-Free Annual, we process:

• The purchase token issued by Apple or Google for your subscription.
• The product identifier (e.g., ad_free_annual) and related order metadata returned by the store during verification.
• The subscription expiry date (adFreeUntil), stored on our servers as the authoritative record of whether your account currently has ad-free access.
• Subscription state changes (active, in grace period, canceled, expired) observed via the store's verification API.

We do not receive or store your payment card details, bank information, or billing address. Payment is handled entirely by Apple or Google.

Device locale We read your device's language and region setting (for example, en-US or en-GB) to format the calendar correctly (e.g., determining whether the week begins on Monday or Sunday). This uses your device's locale setting, not GPS or any location service. We do not collect, store, or transmit location data, and we do not use locale information for advertising or analytics.

The app displays Non-Personalized Ads (NPA) only. These advertisements do not use personal data, health data, or browsing history for targeting.

We do not use Firebase, Google Analytics, AppCenter, or any comparable third-party analytics or tracking services.

The app may use third-party services (such as smartwatch manufacturer SDKs for optional wearable integration, Google sign-in for login, ad networks for non-personalized advertisements, and the Apple/Google subscription-verification APIs described below) that may collect limited information used to identify your device in a non-personalized manner. Links to the privacy policies of these third-party providers are made available where applicable.

Subscriptions and Purchase Verification

MenoZone offers an optional annual auto-renewing subscription called Ad-Free Annual to remove non-personalized advertisements for the subscription term. Purchases are processed securely through the Apple App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android) using their respective in-app billing systems.

To determine whether your account is entitled to ad-free access, our servers check your subscription status directly with Google Play (on Android) or the App Store (on iOS). This confirms whether your subscription is active and when it expires.

These verifications are performed at the time of purchase, at app launch, and periodically during the subscription term (for example, to detect renewals, cancellations, or grace-period transitions). The purchase token and the resulting expiry timestamp are stored on our servers (EU/EEA) linked to your logged-in account. Communication with Apple's and Google's verification APIs may involve transfer of the purchase token to servers operated by those providers, including outside the EU/EEA; such transfers are governed by the providers' own safeguards (EU Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent).

Transaction data (e.g., the full purchase receipt) remains subject to Apple's or Google's privacy policies (available in their respective stores). Subscribing to Ad-Free Annual does not change any of our other data-collection practices — your Cloud Sync setting remains unchanged, advertisements remain non-personalized (and are not shown post-subscription), and we continue to avoid any personalized targeting or tracking.

Legal Basis for Processing

We process your information based on the following lawful bases (primarily under EU GDPR, where applicable):

• Your explicit consent: When you grant permissions for device sensors (e.g., motion/activity for fitness data), optional features like watch integration, or when you enable Cloud Sync. Because wellness data may include health-related information, we treat Cloud Sync as requiring your explicit opt-in (in line with GDPR Article 9(2)(a)). You can withdraw consent at any time by revoking permissions in your device settings or disabling Cloud Sync.
• Legitimate interests: For essential app functionality and security, such as requiring login for access (to ensure secure, personalized wellness tracking), using coarse location solely for regional calendar display (with minimal impact on privacy), and storing limited non-sensitive data (account preferences) for account continuity. We have balanced these interests against your rights and freedoms.
• Contract / performance of service: Processing login data, the subscription purchase token, expiry date, and related subscription state to (i) provide access to the Service, (ii) deliver and verify the Ad-Free Annual subscription you have purchased, and (iii) support restoration and synchronization across devices.
• Legal obligation: Where we are required to retain transaction-related records for accounting, tax, or similar legal purposes (see "Data Retention" below).

Data Retention

• When Cloud Sync is disabled (the default), wellness data remains on your device only; retention is governed by your device settings. When Cloud Sync is enabled, server-side copies of your wellness data are retained for as long as your account exists and deleted within 30 days of account deletion or upon your request.
• Account data (login identifiers, display name, date of birth, preferences, contact messages) is retained for as long as your account exists and deleted within 30 days of account deletion, subject to legal obligations.
• Subscription purchase data (purchase token, product ID, expiry, subscription state history) is retained for the duration of the subscription and for as long as necessary afterwards to meet accounting and tax obligations under applicable EU law (generally up to 7 years). After that period, these records are deleted or anonymized.
• Account deletion does not cancel an active subscription on Apple or Google — you must cancel through your store subscription settings to stop future renewals.

International Data Transfers

Our servers are located in the EU/EEA. Some third-party providers we integrate with (Google, Apple, ad networks) may process limited data outside the EU/EEA. Where such transfers occur, they are covered by appropriate safeguards such as adequacy decisions or EU Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by those providers.

Your Rights

Under the GDPR and applicable EU data protection law, you have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or object to the processing of your personal data, and the right to data portability. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local EU data protection supervisory authority.

For users in the United States: We do not sell your personal or health data. Where applicable state privacy laws provide you with additional rights regarding your data, you are welcome to exercise them by contacting us.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at support@nordicular.eu.

Children's Privacy

MenoZone is not intended for children and is only offered to users aged 18 or older (see our Terms). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be signalled in-app and through an updated "Last updated" date at the top of this document.
