3. Information We Collect vs. Information We Never Store
A. Information Automatically Collected:
When you browse our clinical pages, our server and CDN infrastructure logs routine technical diagnostic parameters, including your approximate geographic location (country/city level via IP), browser user-agent, operating system, requested URI, HTTP response code, referring URL, and timestamp. These logs are preserved strictly for infrastructure security, rate limiting, and denial-of-service defense.
B. Information You Actively Submit:
If you submit an inquiry via our contact form or send correspondence to our support mailboxes, we process your submitted name, email address, message body, and optional topic selection solely to evaluate and respond to your inquiry.
C. Strict Healthcare Sovereignty (Zero Remote Storage of Clinical Inputs):
When you use the Period Tracker, Fertility Window Calculator, Pregnancy Due Date Estimator, Cardiovascular Risk Index, or BMI / Kidney Function Calculators, all mathematical models, date algorithms, and biometric numbers compute exclusively in your client-side JavaScript execution environment. We do not transmit, log, store, or profile your menstrual cycle dates, fertility status, or gestational metrics on our servers.
