Privacy Policy

Last updated 17 October 2026

AYWA is built so that what you log stays with you. This policy explains what that means in practice.

Who we are

AYWA is an iPhone app published by K. M. Fisher Systems LLC, doing business as AYWA (“AYWA”, “we”, “us”), based in Orlando, Florida. You can reach us at support@aywa.site.

What stays on your device

When you use AYWA you may enter personal and health information, such as period dates, flow and symptoms, fertility and ovulation-test results, sexual activity, pregnancy details and due dates, moods, medications, notes, appointments, and your child’s name, birthday, feeds, sleep, diapers and growth.

This information is saved in the app’s storage on your iPhone. Without an account, it is not sent to us or anyone else, unless you use Ask AYWA (below), and we cannot view, access or recover it. If you create an account, it is also stored with your account, as described under Accounts and backup.

Some things AYWA shows you, such as period and fertile-window estimates and weekly summaries, are worked out on your iPhone from what you logged. That processing also stays on your device.

Backups on your iPhone

Like most apps, AYWA’s data is included in your iPhone’s own backups (iCloud Backup or a backup to your computer) if you have them turned on. Those backups are controlled by you and handled by Apple under Apple’s Privacy Policy. We can’t access them.

Accounts and backup (optional)

You can use AYWA without an account. If you create one, you sign in with Apple or with your email address (we email you a one-time code; there’s no password), and AYWA stores a copy of your records with your account: your profile, your children’s profiles, your logs, notes, appointments and settings. This lets you get them back on a new phone.

Your records are encrypted on the way to us and where they’re stored, with our database provider (Supabase, in the United States) acting on our instructions. They are not end-to-end encrypted, which is what lets us restore them to a new phone. To protect against loss, an encrypted copy of the account database is made each night with our infrastructure provider (Cloudflare, in the United States) and kept for 30 days. We never sell them, never use them for advertising, and never share them except as you choose (below).

Before anything is stored, we ask you to agree and to confirm you’re 18 or older, as our Terms require, and we keep a record of when you agreed. You can sign out at any time (your records stay on your phone), or delete your account in Settings → Account & backup, which deletes everything stored with it, including what you shared and what was shared with you. Deleted accounts also leave the nightly copies within 30 days.

If you sign in with Apple, Apple tells us your email address, or a private relay address if you choose to hide yours. We don’t receive your Apple password.

Sharing a baby’s care

With an account, you can invite someone, such as a partner, a family member or a sitter, to one child’s care. They see that child’s feeds, sleep, diapers and related records, and can log them if you allow it, until the time you choose or until you stop sharing. Your own health records (your cycle, pregnancy, symptoms and notes) and your other children are never shared this way. What they log is stored with your account. When sharing ends, it ends on their phone too; anything they already saw or copied can’t be recalled.

Sharing your pregnancy or cycle

With an account, you can let one or more people follow your pregnancy or your cycle. They see only a short summary that you preview first: for a pregnancy, the week and due date (and, if you choose, your next appointments); for your cycle, when your next period is likely (and, if you choose, your possible fertile days). They never see your records, symptoms, notes or tests. If AYWA has no estimate to share, they see only that, never why. You can stop sharing at any time; when no one is left, the summary is deleted.

Ask AYWA

Ask AYWA is optional and off until you turn it on. It’s an assistant you can ask about pregnancy, recovery, your cycle and your baby, and it logs by voice or in your own words: say “fed on the left for 15 minutes, then a wet diaper” and AYWA prepares both entries for you to confirm.

What happens when you use it. Your iPhone turns your speech into text. AYWA sends your words, along with the context needed to answer well (your children’s names and ages, your stage, the date and time, a short summary of your recent entries, and the estimates AYWA works out from them, like your next period, your possible fertile days or a baby’s likely next feed), to AYWA’s third-party AI service providers, which reply in real time with an answer or suggested entries. If your iPhone can’t transcribe a recording, the recording is sent to the same service to be transcribed, then deleted.

Answers from trusted sources. To answer questions, Ask AYWA uses AYWA’s own library and, when needed, a search of trusted health websites. The search provider receives only a short, general search, like “postpartum headache warning signs”, which AYWA writes from your question. It never includes your name, your children’s names, anything that could identify you, your records or your conversation.

Telling AYWA your history. With AYWA Premium you can record yourself reading out your history, for example from another app. Recording starts only when you tap Start and stops when you tap Stop (or after 10 minutes). Your iPhone turns the recording into text where it can; otherwise the recording is sent to the same transcription service as Ask AYWA, only while Ask AYWA is on. The text is sent to our AI providers to find the dates and entries, which you check before anything is saved. The recording is deleted from your iPhone as soon as it has been turned into text, and neither the recording nor the text is kept by us or our providers.

Your conversations are kept on your iPhone, not on our servers. Starting a new conversation deletes the old one.

What we don’t do. We don’t store what you say or the entries it suggests on our servers, and our AI providers don’t keep it after your answer or entries are created. It is never used to train AI models, never sold, and never used for advertising. Nothing is saved to your records until you tap Save.

Who processes it. Ask AYWA uses third-party AI service providers in the United States: AI model providers that write answers and prepare entries, and a search provider for web searches. Each works under terms that limit it to providing the service to us, prohibit training AI models on your data, and protect it at least as well as this policy.

Keeping it fair and secure. Our server checks, using Apple’s App Attest, that each request comes from the genuine AYWA app, and, if you have Premium, checks Apple’s signed record of your subscription. For each installation of the app it keeps a random identifier, counts of how often Ask AYWA was used (for the free tries and to prevent abuse), and when Premium ends. None of this is linked to your name, your records or what you asked. To stop floods of requests, our server also counts requests per internet address for a minute at a time, using a scrambled form of the address that isn’t stored.

Your control. You can turn Ask AYWA off at any time in Settings → Privacy & your data. When it’s off and you aren’t signed in to an account, nothing you log leaves your iPhone.

Apple Health (optional)

If you turn it on, AYWA saves your period days and ovulation-test results to Apple Health on your iPhone, and, when you ask it to, reads period days that other apps saved there so it can add them to your history. Apple asks your permission first, and you can change it anytime in iPhone Settings. Period days AYWA reads from Apple Health become part of your history and are treated like anything you log yourself: they stay on your iPhone unless you’ve turned on backup to your account, and they’re never sold or used for advertising or marketing. What AYWA saved stays in Apple Health if you turn this off; you can remove it in the Health app.

Widgets, Siri and the Lock Screen

AYWA’s widgets, Live Activities and Siri shortcuts work on your iPhone. To show them, the app keeps a small summary on your phone, such as when a feed was last logged or roughly when your next period may start, and anything you log from a widget or with Siri waits on your phone until AYWA opens, then joins your history like anything else. The summary itself is never sent to us. On the Lock Screen, details show only if you choose detailed previews in AYWA, and your iPhone hides them while it is locked.

Information we do receive

Purchases

AYWA Premium is sold through Apple’s App Store. Apple processes your payment; we never receive your card details. Apple lets the app know whether a subscription is active so it can unlock Premium features. Apple also notifies our server when a subscription starts, renews, ends or is refunded; from those notices we keep only daily counts by type and plan, never who. We may also receive aggregated, non-identifying sales reports from Apple.

How the app is used (anonymous counts)

To understand which parts of AYWA help people, and whether our offers are clear, the app sends our server a short note when certain steps happen: for example that onboarding was completed, that the AYWA Premium screen was opened and from where, or that a free trial started. To see whether people find AYWA worth coming back to, it also notes, at most once a day, roughly how long ago it was installed (a range such as “8 to 13 days”, never the date), whether a first record has been saved and how soon (never what it was), and, after a week, on how many of the first seven days something was logged (a number from 0 to 7). Each note is an event name and a few fixed values chosen from a short list, along with the app version and whether the app came from the App Store or TestFlight. It never includes what you log, what you ask, your name, or anything else about your health. Like Ask AYWA’s requests, the notes are signed by the app (see Keeping it fair and secure) so our server knows they come from genuine AYWA, but the totals are never stored with that installation’s identifier, so they can’t be put together into a picture of you. Our server keeps only daily totals, for up to 400 days. These counts are first-party: they are not shared with advertisers or analytics companies, and they are not used to track you across apps or websites.

Your account

If you create an account: your email address, the records described under Accounts and backup, the time you agreed, and basic technical information needed to keep your account secure. Sign-in codes are sent through an email delivery provider that receives only your email address and the code.

Emails you send us

If you contact support, we receive your email address and whatever you choose to write. We use it only to reply and to keep a record of the conversation. Please don’t send health details we don’t need to help you.

Our website

aywa.site is hosted by Cloudflare, which processes standard technical information (such as IP address and browser type) to deliver and protect the site. The site uses no cookies, analytics or tracking.

Crash and diagnostic information

If you choose to share diagnostics with app developers in your iPhone settings, Apple may give us anonymous crash reports. They do not include what you logged in AYWA.

So we notice problems quickly, the app also sends a note, in the same way as the counts above, when it closed unexpectedly or a screen failed to show. The note says only which of those two happened: no screen, message or detail about your phone, and nothing you logged.

Permissions

If you turn on reminders, AYWA asks permission to show notifications. Reminders are scheduled on your iPhone; nothing is sent through a server. If you turn on Apple Health, Apple asks your permission for each kind of data. If you use Ask AYWA by voice, AYWA asks for microphone and speech recognition access. Speech is recognized by Apple on your iPhone where your device supports it, under Apple’s Privacy Policy. The microphone is used only while you’re talking to Ask AYWA. You can change any of these in the app or in iPhone Settings.

Links to other services

AYWA links to outside sources, such as health organizations and support lines. Those sites and services have their own privacy practices.

Your choices and rights

• See and export: Settings → Privacy & your data → Export my records creates a copy you can save or share.
• Delete: Settings → Privacy & your data → Delete my records removes your records from the app. Deleting the app also removes them from your iPhone (copies in your own backups follow Apple’s rules). If you have an account, Settings → Account & backup → Delete account deletes everything stored with it.
• Correct: you can edit or remove any entry in the app.

Without an account, we don’t hold your records, so we can’t export, correct or delete them for you. For anything we do hold, such as your account or support emails, you can ask us to access or delete it at support@aywa.site. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any privacy right.

Consumer health data

Some US states, including Washington, Nevada and Connecticut, give specific rights over consumer health data. The health information you log stays on your device unless you choose otherwise, and we never sell it or share it for advertising. It leaves your device only with your consent: when you use Ask AYWA, your words are processed in real time and not kept afterwards (see Ask AYWA); when you create an account, your records are stored with it to back them up (see Accounts and backup); and when you share, the people you invite see what you chose. You can withdraw consent at any time by turning Ask AYWA off, stopping sharing, or deleting your account.

Children

AYWA is meant for adults. It is not directed to children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect information from them. Information parents record about their own baby is handled like everything else: it stays on the parent’s device unless the parent uses Ask AYWA, backs it up to an account, or shares that child’s care (see above).

Security

Your records are protected by your iPhone’s own security, including your passcode and the device’s encryption. Keep your iPhone locked and up to date. If you have an account, your records are encrypted in transit and at rest, and our database only lets your account, and the people you share with, reach what you chose.

Changes to this policy

If we change how AYWA handles information, we will update this page and the date above. For significant changes, we will also tell you in the app before they take effect.
