Privacy Policy for Nineish Months

Last Updated: June 28, 2025

This Privacy Policy describes how Nineish Months ("the app") handles information. Our commitment to protecting user privacy is paramount and is reflected in the design of our app. Please read this policy carefully to understand our practices.

By using Nineish Months, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy.

1. Our Core Privacy Principle: Data Minimization

Our primary goal is to provide a private, standalone guide for your pregnancy journey. We believe in Data Minimization and do not collect any personal data directly from you.

With one specific exception for managing paid features (see Section 2 below), our app does not:

  • Collect any personal identifiers such as your name, email address, or phone number.

  • Track your location or request location permissions.

  • Collect any usage data or analytics about how you interact with the app's content.

  • Create user accounts or profiles. You can use the app's free content fully without any login or sign-up.

2. In-App Purchases and Our Third-Party Payment Service

To offer and manage premium features, we only use one third-party service called RevenueCat. RevenueCat provides the framework for processing in-app purchases and managing subscription status.

To provide this service, RevenueCat handles the following data:

  • Anonymized User ID: RevenueCat generates a random, anonymous identifier for your user profile within our app. This ID is not linked to your personal identity.

  • Purchase Data: Information about the subscription you purchased, including the purchase date, expiration date, and the App Store transaction receipt.

We use this data processed by RevenueCat for the sole purpose of:

  • Validating your purchase and unlocking premium content.

  • Allowing you to restore your purchase on other devices logged into the same Apple ID.

  • Understanding our app's performance through aggregated, anonymized revenue data.

We do not share any personal health information or other sensitive data with RevenueCat. For more details on how RevenueCat protects your data, we encourage you to review their privacy policy:

RevenueCat Privacy Policy

3. Data Retention and Deletion

Other than the anonymous purchase data managed by RevenueCat, we do not collect any personal data, and therefore there is no data to retain or delete on our servers. To manage your subscription or view your purchase history, please use the tools provided by Apple in your App Store account settings.

4. App Permissions

Nineish Months will not request permission to access any protected user data or device features, including but not limited to:

  • Photos or Photo Library

  • Contacts

  • Microphone or Camera

  • HealthKit Data

  • Location Services

5. Health and Medical Information

Nineish Months provides general information related to pregnancy, which is considered a sensitive health topic.

  • No Health Data Collection: In line with Apple's strict rules for health apps (Guideline 5.1.3), we do not collect, store, or share any personal health information. The app does not integrate with the HealthKit API.

  • Informational Purposes Only: The content provided in this app is for general informational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health provider.

6. Third-Party Links

The app may contain links to external websites for informational / reference purposes (e.g., links to health organizations). We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these third-party sites.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will notify you by revising the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy.
