Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 5, 2026

Hush Newborn is a baby-care tracker for parents. This page explains, in plain language, what data the app handles, where it lives, and how to have it removed. The short version: there are no accounts, no ads, and your family's data is never sold or shared with anyone.

There is nothing to sign up for

Hush Newborn has no user accounts. You never give us your name, email address, or phone number. When the app first runs it makes up a random key on your phone; that key is how our server tells devices apart. It says nothing about who you are.

What the app stores

Care entries you type in: feeds, sleep, diapers, medicines and vitamins, growth measurements, milestones, and vaccines, plus the baby's name and birth date and settings you choose.
Technical logs: records of what the app was doing — sync activity, connection state, purchase flow steps, and crash and performance reports. The app sends these automatically so we can keep sync reliable and fix problems; they can include technical details of entries, and they are deleted from our server after 14 days.
Usage statistics: the app uses Google Analytics for Firebase to count installs, sessions, which screens are opened, and whether a subscription was bought. Google receives a random app-instance identifier, the device model and iOS version, and rough location from the network address. It never receives an entry, a name, or anything you type. This is always on; there is no advertising identifier and no advertising use. Google's handling of it is described in Google's privacy policy.

Where your data lives

On your phones. Each phone in your household keeps a full local copy, so the app works with no connection.
In your iCloud. Your household's record lives in your own Apple iCloud account (and its shared zone, if a partner has joined). Apple's own privacy terms govern that copy; we cannot read it.
On our sync server. A copy of your household's entries is kept on our server (hush-newborn.com). It does two jobs: it moves an entry logged on one phone to the other in seconds, and it is a spare backup so nothing is lost even if a phone dies. Access requires the device keys of your own household — one household can never read another's data.

What we never do

No advertising, and no advertising identifiers.
No tracking across other companies' apps or websites, and no advertising identifiers. Usage statistics (above) and this website's visit counting (below) are the only third-party measurement.
No selling, renting, or sharing of your data with anyone.
No reading your data for any purpose other than operating the service and, when you write to support, helping you.

This website

hush-newborn.com uses Google Analytics to count visits and see which pages people read, but only if you tap Allow on the bar that appears on your first visit. Until then nothing is loaded from Google and no cookie is set. If you allow it, Google Analytics sets cookies on this site and receives your page views, rough location, and browser type; IP addresses are anonymised and nothing entered in the app is ever involved. Choosing No thanks is remembered on your device. To change your mind later, clear this site's data in your browser. Google's handling of that data is described in Google's privacy policy.

Payments

Subscriptions are bought through Apple. Apple handles the payment entirely; we never see your card number or billing details. One subscription covers your whole household.

Children

Hush Newborn is made for parents and caregivers — adults. The entries are about your baby, entered by you, and are treated with the care described on this page. The app is not directed at children and has no social features.

How long data is kept

Care entries: kept while your household exists, on your phones, in your iCloud, and on our server.
Technical logs: deleted from our server after 14 days.
Usage statistics: kept by Google Analytics for 14 months.

Deleting your data

Deleting the app removes the copy on that phone.
The iCloud copy is yours: remove it in iOS Settings → your name → iCloud, or by deleting the household data from within the app.
To erase your household's copy from our server, email support@hush-newborn.com from any device in the household. We verify the request against the household's device keys and complete deletion within 30 days.

Security

All traffic between your phones and our server is encrypted in transit. Every request must prove it belongs to your household; keys are never placed in web addresses; the server keeps its logs free of secrets.

Changes

If this policy changes in a way that matters, the app will say so and this page will show a new date at the top.
