We apply data minimization principles and conduct balancing tests to ensure our interests do not override your fundamental rights. You have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests.

5. Special Category Data (Health Information)

Menstrual cycle data, symptoms, and mood information are classified as special category data under GDPR Article 9. This data receives the highest level of protection under EU law.

We only process this data with your explicit consent, which you provide when using the cycle tracking features. You can withdraw consent and request deletion at any time through your profile settings or by contacting us.

6. Reproductive Health Data Protection

We understand the sensitivity of reproductive health data. Your personally identifiable health data regarding menstrual cycles, pregnancies, pregnancy loss, or any reproductive health information is kept strictly private and confidential. We do not sell this data. We do not share it with advertisers. We do not use it for any purpose other than providing you with the Yunea service.

7. We Do Not Sell Your Data

Yunea does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party. We do not share your health data with advertisers, data brokers, or marketing companies. Your data is used solely to provide and improve the Yunea service for you.

8. Law Enforcement Requests

We are established in the Netherlands and bound by GDPR and Dutch privacy law. These laws provide strong protections for your health data. We have never received a request from law enforcement for user data. If we were to receive such a request, we would: (a) carefully review its legal validity under Dutch and EU law; (b) only comply if legally compelled by Dutch courts; (c) limit any disclosure to the minimum required by law; (d) notify the affected user unless legally prohibited from doing so. We do not voluntarily share user data with any government or law enforcement agency.

We use the following third-party service to process your data:

Supabase Inc.

We may process minimal technical data required to operate and secure the service (such as IP addresses and server logs) through our infrastructure and Supabase. If we introduce analytics or tracking tools in the future, we will update this policy, notify you, and where required, obtain your consent.
