This policy describes how the Midlife Balance mobile application (“the App”), published by Mahoney Digital (“we,” “us”), handles information. We built the App to keep personal wellness data on your device by default.
1. Who we are

2. What the App does
Midlife Balance is a personal wellness tracking tool for midlife and perimenopause-related awareness (symptom check-ins, history, simple patterns, and visit-prep summaries). It is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, or provide medical advice.
3. Information the App stores
If you use the App, it may store on your device:
- Symptom labels you mark and severity levels you choose
- Optional free-text notes you enter
- Dates of check-ins and related timestamps
- App settings (for example, whether optional app lock is enabled)
- A hashed form of an optional app PIN (not the PIN itself in plain text)
- Technical keys needed to encrypt local storage on the device
We design the App so these items stay in private app storage on your phone or tablet.
4. What we do not collect by default
- We do not require you to create an account with us to use core features.
- We do not upload your check-ins, notes, or symptom history to our servers as part of normal use in the current version.
- We do not sell your personal information.
- We do not include advertising SDKs in the App for the purpose of tracking you across other apps.
- We do not use your symptom data for advertising.
5. How data is protected on the device
- Check-in data is stored in an encrypted local database on your device.
- Encryption keys related to that storage are protected using Android platform security features (including Keystore-backed encrypted preferences where used).
- Android Auto Backup of the App’s private data is disabled so your check-ins are not intended to copy into cloud device backup by default.
- You may enable an optional app lock (PIN and, where available, fingerprint or face unlock) so the App asks for verification when you return to it.
No method of storage is perfect. If someone has unlocked access to your phone and can open the App (or if the device is compromised), they may see data the App displays. Optional app lock reduces casual access.
6. Permissions
The App requests only permissions needed for features you use. Biometric unlock, when available, uses the platform biometric prompt; biometrics are processed by your device, not uploaded to Mahoney Digital.
7. Sharing and export
In versions that offer export or share, that action is initiated by you (for example, through the system share sheet). Once you share a file or text outside the App, that copy is no longer protected by the App’s storage. Review what you share before sending it.
8. Children
The App is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
9. Third parties
If you install the App from Google Play, Google’s own terms and policies may apply to the store and install process. That does not give Google access to the check-ins stored inside the App’s private encrypted database under normal operation of the App as designed.
If the website mahoneydigital.net uses standard hosting analytics or similar tools, those apply to the website only, not to the contents of your on-device check-ins.
10. Your choices
- You can stop using the App at any time.
- Uninstalling the App generally removes its private local data from the device (subject to how Android and your device handle uninstalls and backups).
- You can turn optional app lock on or off in Settings (turning off requires your PIN when lock was enabled).
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the App changes. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised policy for that version of the App.
