Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 11, 2026
Privacy at a Glance
- ✓All your pain data stays on your device - no cloud storage
- ✓We only use anonymous weather data to add context to your entries
- ✓No user accounts, tracking, or third-party data sharing
- ✓You control when and how to export your data
How We Protect Your Data
Local Storage Only
CentredMe stores all your health information directly on your device using secure local storage. This includes your pain entries, settings, and any notes you add. We never upload this data to our servers or any cloud service.
Weather Context (Optional)
When you grant location permission, CentredMe can add weather context to your pain entries. Here's exactly what happens:
- We send your location coordinates to Open-Meteo (a privacy-focused weather service)
- We receive weather data like temperature, humidity, and pollen levels
- This data is stored locally with your pain entry
- Open-Meteo doesn't track users or store personal information
No Crash Reporting
We've deliberately disabled crash reporting and analytics in the initial version to ensure zero data collection. If you experience issues, you can contact us directly.
What Data We Collect
| Data Type | Storage Location | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Pain entries (intensity, location, notes) | Your device only | Track your pain patterns |
| App settings and preferences | Your device only | Personalize your experience |
| Location coordinates (when permitted) | Sent to weather service only | Add weather context to entries |
| Weather data | Your device only | Help identify environmental triggers |
Your Rights and Control
Data Export
You can export your data anytime in PDF or CSV format through the app's sharing feature. This creates a file on your device that you can share with healthcare providers or back up as you choose.
Data Deletion
Since all data is stored on your device, you have complete control. You can delete individual entries, clear all data through the app, or uninstall the app to remove everything.
No Account Required
CentredMe doesn't require creating an account, providing personal information, or agreeing to complex terms beyond this privacy policy.
Third-Party Services
Open-Meteo Weather API
When you enable location features, we use Open-Meteo's weather API to provide environmental context. Open-Meteo is an open-source weather service that:
- Doesn't require API keys or user identification
- Doesn't track or store user data
- Is funded by sponsors, not by selling user data
- You can learn more at open-meteo.com
Updates to This Policy
We'll update this policy if we make changes to how the app handles data. Any updates will be posted here with a new date, and we'll notify users through the app if changes are significant.
