Privacy Policy
Last updated 20 October 2026
Who we are. Parla is made by Jamila Rzali. Contact: parla.help.app@gmail.com. We are the controller of the little data we process.
The short version
- Your cycle, check-ins, selfies, meals, skincare shelf, coach chat and everything else you log stay on your phone. We have no accounts and no servers that store your health data.
- We never sell data and we don't use advertising or analytics SDKs.
- A few optional features send a minimum of data, once, to get you an answer — and only after you agree. Nothing sent is stored by us.
What stays on your phone
Everything you enter in Parla is saved in a database on your device: settings (name, cycle and period length, reminders, hair type), period dates, daily check-ins (skin, bloating, energy, mood, sleep, evening flags), body log, optional selfies and meal photos, logged meals, meal rescue plans, skincare products, big days and the coach chat. You can back up all of it to a file you keep (Settings → Back up my data; the file goes only where you save or send it, never to us), restore it on a new phone, or delete all of it permanently (Settings → Delete all my data). Uninstalling the app also deletes it.
Apple Health (optional, iPhone). If you turn on "Sleep from Apple Health", Parla reads only your sleep data, on your phone, to fill in the sleep hours of your check-in. Parla never writes to Apple Health, never sends Health data to our servers or to any AI, and never uses it for advertising or shares it with anyone.
What leaves your phone, and why
| Feature | What is sent | To whom | Stored? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Glow forecast weather (optional) | Your approximate location, rounded to about 10 km | Open-Meteo (weather API) | Not by us. Open-Meteo states it doesn't store personal data. |
| Snap your meal (optional, AI) | The meal photo and your app language | Our AI proxy on Cloudflare, which forwards it to the AI model (Anthropic's Claude; in countries where Claude isn't offered, Cloudflare Workers AI) | No. The photo is used for that one answer and not stored or logged. |
| Shelf scan (optional, AI) | The shelf or label photo and your app language | Same as above | No. |
| Product ingredients (optional) | The product's name — nothing about you | Open Beauty Facts (open product database), and our AI provider (Anthropic) to search ingredient websites when the database has no list | Not by us. Found ingredient lists are kept with the product name in Parla's product database (no personal data). |
| AI coach (optional, AI) | Your question, your last few chat messages, your app language and an anonymous summary (inner season, rounded 14-day averages of skin/bloating/energy/mood/sleep, pattern labels, meal tag counts, your Glow quiz answers (goals, skin type and concerns, eating style, routine level), tonight's skin plan, your skincare product names with Parla's verdicts and main ingredients, and the short facts Mimi remembers about you, which you can see and delete in Settings) — never your name, dates or logs. A photo is sent only when you choose to add one to a question (Premium). | Our AI proxy, which forwards it to Anthropic (Claude), or Cloudflare Workers AI in countries where Claude isn't offered | No. The photo is used for that one answer and not stored or logged; the chat and its photos are kept only on your phone. |
| Subscriptions | An anonymous purchase ID and your purchase status | RevenueCat (subscription management), Apple App Store / Google Play (payments) | By RevenueCat and the stores, to provide your subscription. |
| AI request limits | A random device token and, for subscribers, the anonymous purchase ID; daily request counters | Our AI proxy (Cloudflare KV) | Only counters, deleted automatically after 2 days. No content. |
AI features stay off until you agree on the consent screen, and you can turn them off any time in Settings. AI providers process requests under their API terms and do not use them to train their models.
Reminders are local notifications scheduled on your phone; no push server is involved.
Legal bases (GDPR)
- Data on your phone: not processed by us.
- AI features and weather: your consent (you can withdraw it any time in Settings).
- Subscriptions: performance of a contract.
- Request counters for abuse and cost protection: our legitimate interest in keeping the service available.
Information about your cycle and body is special-category (health) data. Because it stays on your device and the AI summary is anonymous, we do not receive it in identifiable form.
Your rights
You can access, export and delete your data yourself in the app. For anything else (for example questions about subscriptions), contact parla.help.app@gmail.com. You may also complain to your data protection authority.
Children
Parla is intended for people aged 13 and over.
