Belly After 40Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 15, 2026
The short version. Your answers, plan, measurements, sleep check-ins, symptoms and progress photos stay on your phone. We never sell or share your data. The app has no account and sends nothing personal to our servers. If you choose to, the app can count anonymous events like "workout finished" to help us improve it. This is off until you turn it on.
Who we are
Belly After 40 ("the app", "we", "us") is published by Asâad Mehidi EI (Mehidi IT), 91350 Grigny, France. Contact: bellyafter40.help@outlook.com. For people in the European Economic Area or the UK, Asâad Mehidi EI (Mehidi IT) is the data controller for the limited data described below.
What stays on your phone
Everything you enter in the app is stored only on your device:
- Your first name and quiz answers (age range, cycle stage, sleep, stress, cravings, exercise habits, joint pain, whether you take a GLP-1 medication).
- Your belly type and 12-week plan.
- Waist measurements, morning check-ins (sleep, energy, hot flashes, cravings), protein log, favorite meals, workouts and lessons completed.
- Optional progress photos, saved in the app's private folder, never in your photo library.
- Your reminder times. Reminders are scheduled on your phone; no server is involved.
This includes health-related information ("consumer health data"). It never leaves your device through us, except the few items listed below (a barcode you scan, your subscription status).
Backup
Your phone's own backup includes the app's data, so you don't lose your progress: your private iCloud backup on iPhone (Apple), or Google's Android backup (Google). These backups are run and protected by Apple or Google under their own privacy policies and your account settings. We can't access them. You can also save a backup file from the app (Settings) to a place you choose, such as Files; it stays wherever you put it and never comes to us. Progress photos are not included.
Sharing is always your choice
Milestone cards and your 4-week log are created on your phone. They are only shared if you tap Share and pick where they go.
What we (or our providers) do receive
| What | Why | Who |
|---|---|---|
| Anonymous usage events, for example "day opened", "workout completed", "Waist Check done", "paywall viewed", plus app version, phone system (iOS/Android) and version. Once, at the end of the quiz, your age range (for example 45–49), so we know who uses the app, and whether you chose areas of the body to work first (yes or no, never which ones). Never your measurements, other answers, symptoms or name. No device ID, no advertising ID, no cookies; the session ID is random and renewed after an hour. | Understand which features help, fix problems. Off by default. Only sent if you turn it on (Settings → Share anonymous usage stats), and you can turn it off again anytime. | Aptabase (analytics provider, EU/US servers). Aptabase works out your country from your connection, then discards the IP address: it is never stored. |
| Subscription data: a random app user ID created by the subscription system, your purchase and trial status, the store country and price, and where you heard about the app (for example Instagram) if you tell us in the quiz. | Unlock the app, restore purchases, send the trial reminder, handle billing, know how people find the app. | RevenueCat (subscription management), and Apple or Google, who process the payment. We never see your card details. |
| Barcode number, only when you scan a food. | Look up protein content. | Open Food Facts (a free, open food database). Only the barcode is sent. |
| Support emails, if you write to us. | Answer you. | Us, through our email provider. |
The app does not show ads, does not use advertising or tracking SDKs, and does not track you across other apps or websites.
We don't sell or share your data
We do not sell your personal information, do not "share" it for cross-context behavioral advertising, and do not use it for profiling or automated decisions with legal or similar effects. We don't use health data for marketing.
Camera and photos
The camera is used only when you choose to scan a barcode or take a progress photo. Progress photos stay in the app's private folder on your phone.
Legal bases (EEA and UK)
- Subscription data: performance of our contract with you.
- Anonymous usage events: your consent, given by turning on Settings → Share anonymous usage stats. You can withdraw it anytime with the same switch. These events can't identify you.
- Support emails: our legitimate interest in answering you.
Other health information stays on your device and is not processed by us.
How long we keep data
- Data on your phone: until you delete it (Settings → Delete my data) or delete the app.
- Anonymous usage events: up to 12 months.
- Subscription records: as long as needed for billing and tax law.
- Support emails: up to 2 years after our last exchange.
Languages
The app is available in English, French and Spanish. This policy is also available in French and Spanish; if versions differ, the English version applies, except where local law requires otherwise.
Consumer health data (US)
Some US state laws (such as Washington's My Health My Data Act and Nevada's similar law) protect "consumer health data". In this app, that means things like your waist, sleep, symptoms, workouts and meals. It never leaves your phone through us. We never sell consumer health data and never use it for advertising. You can delete it at any time in Settings → Delete my data, and you can ask us to delete any other data we hold (see "Your rights").
Your rights
Wherever you live, you can ask us to access, correct or delete personal data we hold, or ask how it's used. Depending on where you live (for example the EEA, UK, California, Washington, Nevada, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Texas and other US states), you may also have the right to data portability, to object or restrict processing, to withdraw consent, and to appeal our decision. California residents have the right to know, delete, correct and opt out of sale or sharing (we don't sell or share), and will not be discriminated against for using these rights.
To use your rights, write to bellyafter40.help@outlook.com. We answer within 30 days (45 days where US state law allows). You can delete all data on your phone yourself at any time in the app. In the EEA or UK, you can also complain to your local data protection authority.
Age
The app is for adults 18 and older. We don't knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has used the app, contact us.
Security
Your data is protected by your phone's security (passcode, Face ID, fingerprint) and by Apple's or Google's backup encryption. Data sent to our providers travels encrypted (HTTPS).
International transfers
Our providers (RevenueCat, Aptabase) may process data in the United States or the European Union. Where required, transfers are covered by appropriate safeguards such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.
Changes
If we change this policy, we'll update the date above and, for important changes, tell you in the app before they apply.
