Your data is stored only on your iPhone, with iOS file protection, so even other apps cannot read it. Mela cannot leak what it does not collect, because the data never leaves your iPhone. LANGUAGES English and Russian. REQUIREMENTS iPhone, iOS 17 or later. TERMS OF USE https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ PRIVACY POLICY https://mela-privacy.pages.dev/ Mela is not a medical device and is not contraception. Predictions are estimates from your own data, not medical advice. For medical decisions, talk to a clinician.
