At Natural Cycles, we are passionate about empowering you through knowledge. That’s why we’re committed to making our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use as clear and transparent as possible: we want you to understand exactly what data we collect, why we collect it, and what we use it for. We also want you to know exactly what you’re signing up for when you use Natural Cycles.
On this page we will give you an overview of our Privacy Policy. If you would like to register an account with us, please ensure you read this full text, along with our Terms of Use, so that you have all the detail.

Data protection is one of our core quality principles at Natural Cycles. We care deeply about the confidentiality and integrity of the information that is shared with us, and we are committed to achieving the highest standards of privacy and security. This is why we are happy to see the stricter General Data Protection Regulation (or “GDPR”) come into effect across the EU. GDPR will help individuals to stay in control of their personal data, and make clear the responsibilities of any company collecting it.
At Natural Cycles, we are fully compliant with GDPR and, as we are based in Europe, these rights will apply to you regardless of where you live. Click here for more information about your privacy rights.
When you use the Natural Cycles app, we collect different types of data. All the data that you provide to us is summarised under the term Personal Data.
This includes information such as your name, email address, location and date of birth. This enables us to administer your account – for example, to set up your individual user profile.
We also collect information such as the temperature measurements you input each day and information you provide about the days you have had unprotected sex. This is a special category of Personal Data, which needs special protection.
We call this Sensitive Data , and in order for us to store and process this information, we must have your explicit consent. We need Sensitive Data to provide you with the service you signed up for – i.e. to help you prevent or plan a pregnancy. We also use this data as a company to help us improve our service, and to refine the algorithm that powers the app.
Another way that we use this data is to help us monitor the effectiveness of our product as a method of contraception. To do this, we anonymise the Sensitive Data from all our users, combine it into one large “data pool” and review it on a monthly basis to check that our effectiveness rate remains constant; this is a requirement of the notified body that granted our certification.
Click here for more information about the data we collect, and here for more detail on how we use that data.
We also collect data in the form of cookies when you visit our website, to help optimise your browsing experience. Click here to find out more about how we use cookies.
Firstly, we want you to know that we never sell data of any kind.
Furthermore, we do not share any Sensitive Data that can be linked back to you as an individual with any partner for them to use. We do, however, use external suppliers for storing and processing data.
We only share Sensitive Data with third parties that has been anonymised. We share this information with organisations such as universities, who help us to conduct scientific research. You can read more about how we use anonymised data here.
We may sometimes need to share your Personal Data with partner companies or other third parties; for example, when you purchase something from our webshop. For more information about how this works, click here.
We know that the information you give to us is confidential and we take our responsibility in managing that information very seriously, taking every precaution and complying with advanced industry standards to protect its security. Click here to learn more about data security at Natural Cycles.

At the end of your subscription period, your subscription will be automatically renewed. If you do not wish to continue your subscription, you may terminate your User Account before your current subscription period ends. Subscription prices may change from time to time and by continuing to use Natural Cycles you agree to the price change.
Payments for the use of the Services (“Subscription Fees”) are made periodically in advance. Each payment covers a subscription period (“Subscription Period”) during which the User may access the Services. A Subscription Period can be one month, three months or one year as offered by the Services.
Subscription Fees must be paid using a lawfully issued credit or debit card for which you have authorization to make a charge. Natural Cycles reserves the right to block access to your User Account until a valid credit or debit card has been provided to cover all charges incurred by you. You are solely responsible for any late payment charges or other charges incurred by you as a result of your use of a credit or debit card to pay a subscription fee.
At the end of each Subscription Period, your subscription will be automatically renewed for one month, three months or one year subscription each time (depending on whether your current Subscription Period is one month, three months or one year respectively). To avoid your subscription period being automatically renewed you may terminate your subscription at your User Account before the last day of your current Subscription Period. The termination will take effect from the last day of your current Subscription Period.
In certain cases, such as discounts or promotions, the Subscription fee may include a basal thermometer or other relevant physical goods. The goods are considered marketing gifts and do not contribute to the purchase price. Natural Cycles has no obligation to replace, or in any other way compensate you for, faulty marketing gifts or marketing gifts that have not arrived. Natural Cycles offers no right to return such marketing gifts, as you have paid for the subscription and not the marketing gifts.
Natural Cycles reserves the right to change the price for a Subscription Period at any time. Price changes for a Subscription Period will take effect at the start of the next Subscription Period following the date of the price change and will be communicated to Users affected by the change before such date. By continuing to use the Services after the price change takes effect, you agree to accept the new price. The prices for the Products in the Webshop are subject to change without notice.
You may cancel your subscription of the Services at any time, and you will continue to have access to the Services throughout your pre-paid Subscription Period. We do not provide refunds, right to return for a purchased subscription, credits for any partially used subscription or unused User Account, or by reason of your dissatisfaction with the Services. As the subscription gives you access to the Services (which are digital and not provided via a physical medium) instantaneously after the purchase, Natural Cycles does not offer a right of return (such as refunding the subscription fee). To cancel your Subscription, go to the profile settings when logged in on your User Account and follow the instructions for cancellation.
Our return policy for items purchased through the Webshop lasts for fourteen (14) days. Please read below to understand more about our Terms for returns and refunds.
Our return policy for non-digital Products that are purchased through the Webshop lasts for fourteen (14) days. If more than 14 days have gone by since you have received your purchased product, we cannot offer you a refund or an exchange.
To be eligible for a return, the “Item” (a non-digital Product purchased from our Webshop that you wish to return for a refund) must be shipped to us in the unused condition in which you received it in with the original intact packaging. Several types of goods cannot be returned for a refund. This includes perishable goods (such as ovulation and pregnancy tests), intimate and sanitary goods, as well as downloadable software products.
For Items that are defective and for which you complete a formal customer complaint (“Defect Items”), the complaint is eligible for a refund even if it does not fulfill the requirements of paragraph 10.2 above.
To return an Item or a Defect Item, ship the Item including the receipt or proof of purchase to the following address: Natural Cycles Nordic AB, Luntmakargatan 26, 111 37 Stockholm, Sweden.
Shipping costs for returning an Item is non-refundable, unless you are returning Defect Items which are refundable to a reasonable amount. You may request Defect Items to be replaced by a comparable Product. Depending on where you live, the time it may take for your exchanged product to reach you may vary. Some Products are limited in quantity and might be impossible to replace.
In the case of a refund, you are responsible for the product until it has been returned and we do not guarantee that your returned Item will be refunded until it is successfully returned to us. Do not send the Items back to the manufacturer.
We reserve the right to refuse to issue a refund or only issue a partial refund on returned Items (e.g. when a returned Item does not fulfill the return terms as set out above or when we are not able to review an Item because it has not been returned to us successfully or in an acceptable state).
Once your return is received and inspected, we will (if applicable) send you an email to notify you that we have received your returned Item and notify you of the status of your refund (approval or rejection). If approved, then your refund will be processed, and a credit will automatically be applied to your credit card or original method of payment within a certain amount of days. If rejected, we will provide information on why that is the case.
If the Item when purchased and shipped directly to you was marked as a gift, you can (when returning the Item) request to receive a gift credit for the value of your return. Once the returned Item is received by us, a gift certificate will be mailed to you. If the Item wasn’t marked as a gift when purchased, or the gift giver had the Products shipped to themselves to give to you later, we will send a refund only to the original purchaser.
We may decide to make changes to our app, websites, Webshop or marketing products at any time. We also reserve the right to temporarily or permanently take down our app, websites, Webshop or marketing products at any time.
Natural Cycles reserves the right to make improvements or changes to the Webshop, the Sites, the Services and the Products without notice. Natural Cycles also reserves the right to temporarily take down or permanently terminate the Webshop, the products, the Sites and the Services at any time without notice and without being liable to you or any third party. Natural Cycles will however make reasonable effort to notify the Users before terminating any of the Sites or Services.

The Service and Products delivered to you are (except as expressly stated by us) provided ‘as is’ and ‘as available’ for your use. Because some states or jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or the limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, in such states or jurisdictions, our liability shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
In no event shall Natural Cycles and its associates be liable an amount that exceed the total amount of your payments to Natural Cycles over the past twelve (12) months, calculated from the event giving rise to the liability.

The obligations and liabilities of the parties incurred prior to the termination date shall survive the termination of this agreement for all purposes.
A termination of your subscription of the Services will be effective from the day after the last day of your current Subscription Period, unless your subscription is terminated by Natural Cycles due to your breach of any provision in these Terms, in which case the termination will be effective immediately.
We reserve our right to cancel an order if you breach or violate any of the Terms related to the Webshop, Sites, Services or Products.

In the event that we make a change to, or cancel an order, we may attempt to notify you by contacting the e-mail and/or billing address/phone number provided at the time the order was made. We reserve the right to limit or prohibit orders that, in our sole judgment, appear to be placed by dealers, resellers or distributors.
