Privacy Policy
Effective Date: August 8, 2025
Welcome to the Contraction Timer & Labor Guide app! Techsacare, the developer of this app, is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use our app to time contractions and track labor signs.
1. Information We Collect
a. General Information
We do not require any login, signup, or personal identification information (such as your name, email, or account details) to use the Contraction Timer app.
b. Health and Labor Data
To provide the core functionality of the app, you may manually enter and track the following information:
- Contraction Start and Stop Times: To calculate the duration and frequency of contractions.
- Contraction Intervals: The time between the start of one contraction and the start of the next.
- Water Break Status: You can log the time if your water has broken.
- 5-1-1 Rule Tracking: The app applies the “5-1-1” rule (contractions 5 minutes apart, lasting 1 minute each, for at least 1 hour) and notifies you when it may be time to go to the hospital.
This health and labor data is entered manually by you and is stored locally on your device. It is used solely for the purpose of providing timers, logs, and notifications within the app.
Disclaimer: This app is designed for general informational and self-tracking purposes only and is not a medical device. The timers, logs, and notifications are tools to help you track your labor signs, but they are not a substitute for professional medical advice. Always follow the guidance of your doctor, midwife, or healthcare provider.If you have any concerns about your labor or health, contact your healthcare provider immediately.
c. Log Data
For analytical purposes to improve app performance, we may collect limited, anonymous technical data if you are connected to the internet. This may include:
- Device IP address
- Device type and operating system version
- App crash reports and performance data
- Time and date of app use
This information is anonymized and cannot be used to personally identify you.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the limited data collected to:
- Provide Core Features: Calculate contraction duration and intervals, track your progress against the 5-1-1 rule, and send notifications.
- Improve the App: Analyze anonymous usage data to fix bugs, enhance stability, and improve the user experience.
- Maintain Services: Ensure reliability and security of our app and services.
No personal health data (contraction times, water break status) is used for analytics, marketing, or shared with third parties for their own use.
3. Sharing of Information
We do not share, sell, or rent your personal or health-related labor data with third parties. Your contraction logs remain locally stored on your device.
We may share anonymous, aggregated analytics data with trusted third-party providers (such as Google Analytics for Firebase or Firebase Crashlytics) solely to improve app performance. This data is non-identifiable and complies with data protection laws.
4. Data Security
We implement reasonable technical measures to protect your information. Your contraction and labor data is stored locally on your device and is never transmitted to our servers or the cloud.
5. Your Rights and Data Control
You retain full control over your data. You can:
- View and Delete Logs: Access your contraction history and delete individual logs or your entire history at any time directly within the app.
- Uninstall the App: Uninstalling the app will permanently delete all data stored on your device, including your entire contraction history.
6. Third-Party Services
Our app may use third-party services (like Firebase for crash reporting) that collect anonymized data to help us improve app performance. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these providers:
7. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Thus, we advise you to review this page periodically for any changes. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. These changes are effective immediately after they are posted.

The notifications based on the 5-1-1 rule are general guidelines and may not be appropriate for all pregnancies (e.g., high-risk pregnancies, preterm labor, or if your provider has given you different instructions).
