Medical Disclaimer

Period Tracker and Calendar is not a medical provider. It does not diagnose conditions, prescribe treatment, or give medical advice. Everything in the app and on this website is general wellness information — educational only, and never a replacement for a licensed professional. In an emergency, contact your local emergency services immediately.

What Period Tracker and Calendar is, and what it is not

Period Tracker and Calendar (the "App") helps you log your period, symptoms and cycle-related data, and shows predictions and educational information based on what you log. See the FAQ for how tracking and predictions work day to day.

The App isThe App is not
A tracking and awareness toolA doctor, clinic, or telehealth provider
A way to log and understand your own patternsA diagnostic or screening device
A source of general, non-personalized informationA source of medical, legal, or mental-health advice
Software that estimates and predicts from your dataA method of contraception or a treatment plan

Does the app give medical advice?

No. The App does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and no content in the App or on this website creates a doctor-patient or professional-client relationship.

Can I rely on the app's predictions for contraception or conception?

No, not on their own. Predictions are statistical estimates based on logged data and can be wrong — do not use them as your only method of contraception, or as a guarantee of your fertile or infertile days.

When should I contact a doctor instead of relying on the app?

Contact a licensed professional whenever a real clinical question exists — for example:

  • periods that suddenly stop, become extremely irregular, or extremely painful
  • unusual or heavy bleeding
  • symptoms that worry you, whatever the app predicts
  • any question about contraception, fertility treatment, or pregnancy

In an emergency, do not rely on the App. Call your local emergency services or go to the nearest emergency department.

What do I agree to by using the app?

By using the App, you confirm the following.

  1. You decide. You are solely responsible for how you interpret and use the information the App provides.
  2. No substitution. You will not use the App in place of professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
  3. No liability. Period Tracker and Calendar disclaims, to the maximum extent permitted by law, liability for any injury, loss, or damage arising from reliance on the App's content or predictions.

Where can I read more about how my data is handled?

See the Privacy Policy for what is collected and how it's used, and the FAQ for more on tracking and predictions.

FAQ

Common questions about this disclaimer

Is Period Tracker and Calendar a medical device?

No. It is a general wellness and tracking app and is not a regulated medical device, diagnostic tool, or clinical decision-support system, unless stated otherwise for a specific region on the app's own store listing.

Can the app tell me if something is medically wrong?

No. The app cannot detect, screen for, or rule out any illness or condition. Only a clinician who examines you can do that.

Are the app's predictions guaranteed to be accurate?

No. Predictions are estimates based on your logged history and can be wrong, especially with an irregular cycle or a limited tracking history.

Can I rely on this app as a form of contraception?

No. The app is a tracking and awareness tool, not a method of contraception, and should not be relied on to prevent or achieve pregnancy on its own.

Who is responsible if I rely on the app and something goes wrong?

You are responsible for your own health decisions. The app disclaims liability for outcomes arising from reliance on it, as described on this page.
