🔐 Privacy & Your Data
Your health journey is deeply personal. Because you are tracking sensitive information—like your daily habits, medications, and pain levels—we believe that you, and only you, should have total control over your data.
Here is our promise to you, along with a gentle guide on how to manage, export, or delete your information at any time.
🛡️ Our Privacy Promise
- Your Data is Encrypted: When you log a health metric or an incident, it is securely encrypted before it ever reaches our database.
- For Your Eyes Only: We cannot read your personal logs, nor do we sell or share your data with advertisers or third parties.
- Total Ownership: You are not locked into our platform. Your data belongs to you, and you can take it with you whenever you want.
📥 Exporting Your Data
Whether you want to keep a personal backup or share your tracking history with your doctor or neurologist, we make it easy to take your data out of the app.
Head over to your Settings > Data Management to find these options:
- Download Data: This allows you to download a clean, readable summary of your recent incidents, health logs, and triggers. It is perfect for printing out or emailing to your healthcare provider before an appointment.
- Database Backup: This creates a complete, secure snapshot of your entire account history. We recommend doing this occasionally just to have peace of mind!
🔄 Restoring from a Backup
If you ever need to restore your history (for example, if you decide to create a new account or move to a self-hosted version of the app), you can easily bring your data back to life. * Simply use the Upload Database tool in your Settings. Select the backup file you previously downloaded, and your dashboard will populate with all your historical logs and personalized triggers.
🧹 Starting Fresh (The Right to be Forgotten)
Healing isn't linear, and sometimes a fresh start is exactly what you need. If you feel like your old data is no longer serving you, or if you wish to leave the platform, you have total control to erase your footprint.
In your Settings, you have two options: * Reset User Data: This will gently wipe your historical logs and incidents so you can start tracking again from a clean slate, without losing your account setup. * Clean Database: This permanently deletes your information. If you choose this, your data is erased completely from our servers. (Please make sure you download a backup first if you think you might change your mind!)
We built Migraine Tracker to be a safe space for your healing. If you ever have questions about how your data is handled, please don't hesitate to reach out to our community.
