Your body. Your data.
Period.
We built Give Zero on a simple premise: your hormonal data is yours. Not ours to monetize. Not a third party's to analyze. Not a data broker's to sell.
Most health apps have a business model problem.
If a health app is free, your data is the product. Your cycle length, your symptoms, your fertility status: packaged and sold to advertisers, insurers, or anyone willing to pay.
This isn't hypothetical. It's happened. Repeatedly. With apps millions of women trusted with their most intimate health information.
We decided that's not a trade-off we're willing to make. Not now. Not ever.
We know exactly what we have. So should you.
Here's what Give Zero stores, and why:
Health data you log
Symptoms, cycle data, mood, notes. Because this is what Nova needs to find your patterns. Stored encrypted. Linked to your account. Deletable by you at any time.
Wearable syncs
Sleep, HRV, heart rate, activity. Because your body tells a story across systems, not in silos. We pull it in, process it, and keep it where only you and Nova can access it.
Lab results you upload
Blood panels, hormone levels, thyroid markers. Because your doctor ordered them for a reason and you deserve to actually understand them. Encrypted at rest and in transit.
What we don't collect
Your location isn't tracked. Your health data isn't profiled for ads. We use error monitoring tools (Sentry, Scout) to keep the app running, but they are configured to never capture your health data or personal information. We don't sell, share, or license your health data to anyone. Full stop.
Nova reads your data. Nobody else does.
When Nova analyzes your patterns (connecting last week's sleep dip to this week's headaches, or flagging a cortisol trend worth discussing with your doctor) that processing happens within your account.
Your conversations with Nova aren't used to train models or improve the experience for other users. Your health patterns aren't aggregated into anonymized datasets and sold to research firms.
Nova works for you. That's the architecture, not the marketing.
Delete means delete.
When you delete your data, we delete your data. Not "mark as inactive." Not "archive for 90 days." Not "anonymize and retain for analytics."
Delete.
You can export everything first if you want. It's your data, after all. And you can delete individual entries, entire categories, or your full account. No hoops, no "are you sure?" guilt trips, no retention dark patterns.
Your health data in a post-Roe world.
We're not going to pretend this isn't relevant. In a landscape where reproductive health data can be subpoenaed, the architecture of a health app matters more than its privacy policy.
Give Zero doesn't store data that could be used to infer pregnancy status for third parties. We don't build features that create exploitable records. And we're committed to designing with this threat model in mind. Not as an afterthought, but as a core engineering constraint.
Your health app should protect you. From bad advice. From data exploitation. From systems that weren't built with your safety in mind.
Health intelligence that stays with you.
No ads. No data sales. No third-party trackers. Your data, your rules.
