3. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information for specific, legitimate healthcare support purposes:

• To analyze uploaded medical reports and provide structured summaries for your personal health archive.
• To trigger instant emergency alerts with real-time location to your emergency contacts when requested.
• To deliver automated medication, water, and doctor appointment reminders.
• To maintain app security, prevent fraudulent activity, and diagnose backend performance issues.

4. Data Storage, Security and Encryption

We implement industry-standard administrative, technical, and physical security measures:

• Encryption in Transit: All data transmitted between the FemNest mobile application and our backend servers is protected using Secure Socket Layer (SSL/TLS) encryption.
• Secure Device Storage: Authentication tokens and sensitive keys on your mobile device are secured using hardware-backed SecureStore / Keychain.
• Access Controls: Access to user data is strictly restricted to authenticated sessions and role-authorized entities.

5. Sharing and Disclosure of Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal health data to advertising networks, third-party data brokers, or marketing firms. Data may only be shared under the following limited circumstances:

• Emergency Contacts: When you initiate an emergency SOS, your name, message, and location are dispatched to your designated trusted contacts.
• Authorised Healthcare Providers: If you explicitly choose to share your health reports or records with your consulting doctor or clinic via the app.
• Legal Compliance: If required by applicable laws, court orders, or lawful government requests.

6. Children's Privacy
