Privacy Policy & Safeguarding
At My Period Kit, your privacy and safety are our highest priorities. Because our ecosystem serves adolescents and discusses sensitive topics like menstruation, SRHR, and emotional well-being, we have built our platform on strict data minimization and safeguarding principles.
1. Safety and Medical Disclaimer
My Period Companion provides education and referral guidance but is not a replacement for emergency care or clinical consultation.
Our platform is designed to offer friendly, stigma-free support. However, if you are experiencing severe pain, heavy bleeding, or a medical or safety emergency, please contact a local clinic or emergency service immediately. We maintain clear referral boundaries and provide safe guidance for urgent needs by routing users to approved local helplines and trusted professional partners.
2. Information We Collect
We practice strict data minimization. This means we only collect the absolute minimum information required to provide you with support:
- Website Usage: We collect basic, anonymous analytics (like page views and clicks on the "Start on WhatsApp" button) to understand how our site is used. We do not track you across the internet.
- Forms & Enquiries: If you submit a partner, contact, or toolkit request form, we collect the name, organization, email, and message you provide. This requires your explicit consent via a checkbox.
- Companion Usage: The public website does not collect sensitive adolescent health data or menstrual cycle histories. When you transition to our companion tools (like WhatsApp or IVR), data handling is governed by strict, age-appropriate consent protocols specific to those channels.
3. How We Use Your Information
Any information we do collect is used solely to:
- Respond to your partnership, media, or support enquiries.
- Facilitate the distribution of the First Period Toolkit to schools and communities.
- Improve the accessibility and functionality of our digital platforms.
We will never sell your personal data. We do not share personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.
4. Data Security and Protection
We use industry-standard security measures, including secure hosting (HTTPS) and encrypted databases for form submissions. Access to enquiries and analytics is strictly limited to authorized My Period Kit team members who have undergone safeguarding training.
5. Adolescent and Child Privacy
Our services are designed with young people in mind. Content is reviewed by health and safeguarding experts to ensure it is age-appropriate and culturally sensitive. We do not require account creation or sensitive disclosures to access our core educational articles on this website.
