Privacy
Short version: everything you type into this app stays on the device you typed it into.
What is collected
Nothing is collected. The app has no account system, no database and no analytics. Contractions, medication, timeline entries and the handover card are written to your browser's local storage on that device and read back from it. They are never transmitted.
Third parties
There are no third-party scripts, fonts, trackers, advertising or embedded widgets. The app's content security policy blocks outbound connections, so the page cannot contact another server even by accident.
Hosting
The site is served as static files. The host will see ordinary web request logs (IP address, time, page requested) as any web server does, but the contents of your labour log are not part of any request.
Sharing and backups
The summary screen can copy text to your clipboard, hand it to your phone's share sheet, or save it as a file. Those actions are yours, and where the text goes next is up to what you pick. Settings can export a backup file; treat it as you would any other health record.
Deleting everything
Settings → Erase everything removes all of it immediately. Clearing your browser's site data, or deleting the Home Screen app and its data, does the same.
Children
The app is for adults recording their own care. It is not directed at children and collects nothing from anyone.
Not medical advice
Birth Companion is a record-keeping tool, not a medical device. It does not diagnose, advise or replace your midwife or doctor. Contact your maternity unit with any concern.
