Privacy Policy — Ripply (ContractionTimer)

Last updated: 2026-06-03

1. Summary

Your health data (contractions) stays exclusively on your device and never leaves the app without your explicit action. The app collects only anonymous usage data (screens visited, buttons used) to improve the experience.

2. Data collected

Health data (local storage only)

The Ripply application only records locally:

  • Start and end timestamps of each contraction (date, time)
  • Computed duration of each contraction
  • Your interface preferences (theme, vibrations, keep-screen-on)

This data is stored exclusively on your iPhone via SwiftData (SQLite encrypted by iOS). It is never sent to an external server, shared with third parties, or used for advertising purposes.

Anonymous usage data (analytics)

We use PostHog to improve the app. PostHog only collects:

  • Screens visited (e.g. timer screen, history, export)
  • Usage actions (e.g. export opened, onboarding completed)

This data is strictly anonymous: it is linked to a randomly generated local identifier with no connection to your identity, your name, your device, or your contraction data. PostHog never receives your contraction timestamps or durations.

3. Health data

Contraction data constitutes sensitive health data under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). As such:

  • It is protected by iOS system encryption (NSFileProtectionComplete) and stays inside the App's sandbox.
  • It never leaves your device unless you explicitly use the export feature (manual sharing by you with your midwife or doctor).
  • Uninstalling the App permanently erases all data.

4. Third-party services

Ripply uses PostHog (posthog.com) for the anonymous usage analytics described in section 2. Data is hosted in Europe (European Union). PostHog receives no health data, no personal data, and no information that could identify you.

No advertising tracker, no social media integration, no monetisation SDK.

5. Children

The App is not intended for children under 13 and collects no data.

6. Your rights (GDPR)

Since all data is stored locally on your device and no data is transmitted to our infrastructure, we hold no data about you. You exercise your rights of access, rectification and erasure directly from the App (history) or by uninstalling the App.

7. Medical disclaimer

Ripply is not a medical device. The App is a memory aid for tracking contraction rhythm and in no way replaces the advice, follow-up or recommendations of a healthcare professional (midwife, doctor, obstetrician).

In case of doubt, emergency or complication, immediately contact your maternity unit or call your local emergency number (in France: 15 — SAMU).
