Privacy Policy for VEDA MenoMap IQ

Effective Date: September 4, 2026 · Last Updated: September 4, 2026

VEDA MenoMap IQ ("we," "our," or "us") operates the website menomap.io and the VEDA MenoMap IQ mobile application and web-based platforms (collectively, the "Platform"). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the sensitive biological and physiological data you entrust to us.

This Privacy Policy explains how VEDA MenoMap IQ collects, uses, protects, and discloses your personal and health information when you access or use our services within the United States.

1. Our Core Privacy Commitments

  • We Never Sell Your Sensitive Health Data: VEDA MenoMap IQ does not sell, rent, or trade your identifiable symptom tracking, cycle logs, biometric data, or medical records to third-party data brokers, marketers, or advertisers.
  • Not an Advertising Tracker: We do not allow third-party ad networks to monitor your health trends or track your activity inside the core Platform for behavioral advertising.
  • You Own Your Data: You retain full rights to your data. You may export your logs (including your 1-Page Clinical Brief) or permanently delete your account and all associated records at any time.

2. Information We Collect

VEDA MenoMap IQ collects information to deliver clinical correlation tools, symptom logging, and biometric analysis.

A. Account & Profile Information

  • Contact details: Email address, username/display name, and encrypted account credentials.
  • Onboarding responses: Menopause stage classification (e.g., Perimenopause, Menopause, Post-Menopause), age, primary wellness goals, and general symptom concerns.
  • Subscription information: Subscription status, renewal dates, and transaction tokens managed securely via our third-party payment processors (e.g., Stripe). VEDA MenoMap IQ does not store your raw credit card numbers.

B. Sensitive Health & Symptom Data (Self-Logged)

  • Hormonal & Cycle Logs: Dates, cycle variations, cycle regularity, and flow characteristics.
  • Symptom Tracking: Greene Climacteric Scale scores, vasomotor occurrences (hot flashes, night sweats), sleep quality ratings, mood trends, brain fog, fatigue, and joint pain ratings.
  • HRT & Daily Regimens: Hormone replacement therapy protocols (delivery route, dosage adherence, "taken" vs. "missed" logs), non-hormonal prescriptions, and OTC supplements.
  • Lifestyle & Trigger Logs: Self-reported dietary and environmental triggers (e.g., caffeine, alcohol, stress spikes, late meals, room temperature).

C. Passive Biometric Data via Connected Devices

  • If you choose to sync your account with third-party wearable devices or health platforms (such as Apple Health or Oura), VEDA MenoMap IQ processes passive biometrics including:
  • Nocturnal wrist/skin temperature variance.
  • Sleep architecture (deep sleep duration, sleep latency, 3:00 AM awakenings).
  • Resting heart rate (RHR) and Heart Rate Variability (HRV).
  • Connecting these sources is strictly optional and requires your explicit in-app authorization.

D. Community ("Circle") Content

  • Public and peer-shared posts, topic comments, reactions/likes, and bookmarked threads submitted inside our community feed.
  • When posting in the community section, you may choose to publish anonymously, which disassociates your public display name and profile picture from the post.

3. How We Use Your Information

VEDA MenoMap IQ uses the information we collect solely for functional, analytical, and supportive purposes:

  • Symptom Correlation & Pattern Recognition: To calculate rolling 14-day and 30-day statistical associations between logged lifestyle triggers and physiological biometric spikes.
  • Clinical Brief Generation: To assemble and format your data into a downloadable 1-Page Clinical Brief or Greene Climacteric trend report for you to present to your personal healthcare provider.
  • Streaks & Retention Gamification: To calculate logging consistency streaks, award achievement badges, and notify you of health data trends moving into optimal ranges.
  • Peer Community Interaction: To run the community forum, show trending posts, and notify you when community members like or reply to your threads.
  • Account Communications: To deliver transactional notices, scheduled evening trigger reminders (if enabled), streak alerts, and critical security notices.

4. How Your Information Is Shared

VEDA MenoMap IQ shares your data only in the limited circumstances described below:

  • Healthcare Providers (User-Directed Only): Your clinical brief, charts, and symptom logs are only shared with medical professionals when you explicitly generate, download, email, or print your report.
  • Secure Cloud & Service Providers: We work with vetted infrastructure, hosting, database, and payment partners (such as cloud hosting, authentication services, and payment gateways) operating under strict data protection agreements to ensure your data is kept encrypted and confidential.
  • Community Members: Information you post to public community discussion threads is visible to other authenticated users on the Platform.
  • Legal & Regulatory Obligations: In rare circumstances, we may disclose personal information if required to comply with a valid legal process (e.g., a court order or subpoena) enforceable under United States law. Where permitted, we will give you advance notice before disclosing your records.

5. Medical Disclaimer & HIPAA Notice

  • Informational & Diagnostic Tracking Tool Only: VEDA MenoMap IQ is a digital health tracking and educational software tool. The Platform does not provide formal medical diagnoses, write prescriptions, or offer direct medical treatment. All generated insights, trigger correlations, and Greene Climacteric ratings are designed to aid your informed conversations with a licensed physician.
  • HIPAA Consideration: Because you enter your data directly as a consumer and not through a covered healthcare provider, VEDA MenoMap IQ is not legally classified as a "Covered Entity" or "Business Associate" under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Nevertheless, we apply administrative, physical, and technical controls—including end-to-end encryption—consistent with high healthcare cybersecurity standards.

6. Data Security & Storage

We implement robust safeguards to protect your personal and biometric data against unauthorized access, loss, or alteration:

  • Encryption in Transit & at Rest: All data exchanged between your device and our servers is encrypted using Transport Layer Security (TLS 1.3). Sensitive database records are stored using AES-256 encryption.
  • Access Controls: Only authorized personnel with a legitimate technical maintenance need are granted access to production databases, governed by multi-factor authentication.
  • Data Minimization: We collect only the data points necessary to populate your charts, run correlation insights, and support your tracking journey.

7. Your Rights and Choices (United States State Privacy Laws)

Depending on your state of residence (including California under the CCPA/CPRA, Colorado, Virginia, and other states with applicable consumer health data privacy laws), you enjoy the following rights regarding your information:

  • Right to Access: You may request an export of the personal and health data VEDA MenoMap IQ holds about you.
  • Right to Correction: You may edit your profile information, symptom records, and medication regimens directly through the app interface.
  • Right to Deletion: You can delete your account and all associated logging history permanently via the in-app Settings menu or by contacting our privacy team. Upon confirmation, your data is erased from our live databases.
  • Right to Non-Discrimination: VEDA MenoMap IQ will never discriminate against you, deny services, or alter subscription pricing if you exercise any of your privacy rights.
  • Managing Push Notifications & Reminders: You can disable push notifications, daily logging reminders, and 8:30 PM evening trigger prompts at any time via the "Settings > Reminders" drawer in the app.

8. Children’s Privacy

  • VEDA MenoMap IQ is designed exclusively for adults managing perimenopause, menopause, and hormonal health transitions. The Platform is not intended for or marketed to individuals under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

  • VEDA MenoMap IQ may periodically update this Privacy Policy to reflect platform updates, new diagnostic categories, or changes in United States privacy law. We will notify you of any material changes by updating the "Last Updated" date above and posting a prominent in-app notification in your Messages drawer or sending an email before changes take effect.
