Data Storage and Security

Third-Party Services

Analytics

We may use privacy-focused analytics services (such as Apple's App Analytics) to collect anonymized usage data. These services:

• Do not have access to your health data

• Anonymize and aggregate all data
• Comply with strict privacy standards

No Advertising

Cyclea does not display third-party advertisements and does not share data with advertising networks.
