Privacy Policy

Pause is a personal health tracking app. Your symptom data is yours — it lives on your device and nowhere else. We built Pause to help you understand your body, not to collect data about it.

What we collect

Nothing on our servers. Pause does not transmit, store, or share any personal or health information with Pinnacle Path LLC or any third party. There are no accounts, no analytics SDKs, no advertising frameworks, and no network requests that carry your data.

Where your data lives

All symptom logs, mood entries, sleep records, and profile information you enter are stored locally on your device using SwiftData. If you have iCloud enabled, your data syncs across your own Apple devices via CloudKit — using your personal iCloud account. Pinnacle Path never has access to this data at any point.

Apple Health

If you grant permission, Pause reads your sleep analysis data from Apple Health to auto-fill nightly sleep hours. This data is read-only — Pause never writes to Apple Health and never uploads Health data anywhere. If you deny Health access, Pause works fully without it. Pause never uses Health data for marketing, advertising, data mining, or any purpose unrelated to providing the app’s core functionality to you.

Doctor PDF export

Pause can generate a PDF summary of your symptom data for you to share with your healthcare provider. When you share this PDF — by email, AirDrop, or any other method — that data leaves your device under your control and at your direction. Pinnacle Path has no involvement in or access to any data you choose to share.

In-app subscriptions

Subscriptions are processed entirely by Apple via StoreKit 2. Pinnacle Path never sees your payment details, billing information, or Apple ID. We receive only an anonymous, encrypted transaction confirmation from Apple.

Notifications

Pause schedules all notifications locally on your device. We operate no server that sends you messages and do not use any remote push notification service.

Third-party SDKs

None. Pause has zero third-party frameworks, tracking libraries, crash reporters, or analytics integrations.

Your rights

Because Pause collects no personal information on our servers, there is nothing for us to access, correct, or delete on your behalf. You exercise full control over your data directly:

• Deletion: Delete the app from your device. To remove iCloud-synced data, delete the app and then remove the associated iCloud backup from Settings → your name → iCloud → Manage Storage.
• Health data: Revoke Health access at any time in Settings → Privacy & Security → Health → Pause.
• California residents (CCPA): Pinnacle Path LLC does not sell or share your personal information, as those terms are defined under the California Consumer Privacy Act. There is no data to opt out of selling because no sale or sharing occurs.
• GDPR: If you are located in the European Economic Area, the same applies — we hold no personal data about you on our systems.

Pinnacle Path LLC is not a HIPAA covered entity or business associate. HIPAA does not apply to this app.

Children

Pause is intended for adults. It does not collect any information from anyone, including children under 13, and complies with COPPA and GDPR-K requirements by collecting nothing at all.

Not medical advice

Pause is a personal tracking tool, not a medical device. Nothing in the app constitutes medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider about your symptoms and treatment options.

Changes to this policy

If we update this policy, we will update the “Last updated” date above. Continued use of Pause after any change constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
