1. About MyPatch

MyPatch is an iOS application that helps you keep track of your hormonal contraceptive patch (e.g. Evra, Apleek or comparable products). The app records when you apply, change and remove the patch, sends optional local reminders, shows your cycle in a calendar and lets you keep a private diary of your mood, period and notes.

MyPatch is a tracking and reminder tool. It is not a medical device, not a contraceptive itself, and does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease or condition.

2. Medical disclaimer

MyPatch does not replace the advice of a gynecologist, pharmacist or any other qualified healthcare professional. Any decision about contraception, side effects, a late patch change, a patch that has come off, additional protection, emergency contraception or a pregnancy test must always be discussed with a medical professional.

The information shown in the app — including protection status, recommendations after a missed action, or reminders — is based on what you have entered and on general guidance for the contraceptive patch. It cannot account for your individual medical situation or for the instructions of your specific product. The patient information leaflet of your patch always takes precedence.

In case of doubt, always trust your doctor over the app.

3. License

You receive a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use MyPatch on Apple devices linked to your Apple Account. You may not:

• redistribute, sublicense, rent or lease the app;
• copy, modify or create derivative works of the app or its content;
• reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or otherwise attempt to derive the source code of the app, except where this restriction is prohibited by applicable law;
• remove, alter or obscure proprietary notices in the app.

All rights not expressly granted to you remain with the developer.

4. User responsibility and liability

You are responsible for using your contraceptive patch as prescribed by your doctor and for following the instructions provided with the patch. MyPatch supports you in doing so but cannot take that responsibility off your hands. In particular, please note:

• Reminders may fail to fire, for example due to operating-system issues, device-level notification settings, “do not disturb” or focus modes, low battery, airplane mode, app crashes or any other technical condition outside the app’s control. Do not rely on the app alone.
• The protection status shown and all calculations are derived from the data you enter. Incorrect or incomplete entries lead to incorrect results.
• Data may be lost, for example when the app is deleted, when you switch devices without a backup, or when your device is lost or damaged (see section 6).

The developer’s liability is governed by the following:

The developer is liable without limitation for damages resulting from injury to life, body or health, for damages caused intentionally or by gross negligence, where a guarantee has been given, and under the German Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz).

In the event of a slightly negligent breach of a material contractual obligation – an obligation whose fulfilment is essential for the proper performance of the contract and on whose observance you may regularly rely – liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical for this type of contract.

Any further liability of the developer is excluded. This also applies to the personal liability of the developer’s agents.

5. Privacy

MyPatch stores your cycle data, diary entries and settings locally on your device. There is no user account and no cloud synchronisation; the developer has no access to your entries. The app uses third-party services for crash reports (Google Firebase Crashlytics), for checking your Premium status (RevenueCat) and, for users without Premium, for advertising (Google AdMob).

Which data these services process is described in the full privacy policy at langsoftware.de/apps/datenschutzerklaerung-mypatch. By using the app you confirm that you have read and accepted it.

6. Data storage and backups

MyPatch does not offer a backup of its own. Your data stays on your device and is only included in a backup if you back up your iPhone itself, for example with iCloud Backup or on your computer. The developer cannot restore lost data. If specific cycle data is medically important to you, please keep an additional record outside of the app.

7. Subscriptions (Premium membership)

MyPatch can be used free of charge. It also offers an optional auto-renewing Premium subscription that removes all ads and unlocks additional features, as described in the app and on the App Store. The following billing periods are available:

• Monthly subscription — one month per billing cycle
• Yearly subscription — twelve months per billing cycle

The exact price is shown in the App Store immediately before you confirm the purchase, in your local currency and according to the pricing tier in effect in your region. Pricing may differ between countries and may be adjusted by the developer or Apple from time to time; in that case the new price will apply to renewals only after you have been informed in accordance with Apple’s rules.

Payment is charged to your Apple Account at the confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically for the same billing period at the then-current price unless auto-renewal is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage subscriptions and turn off auto-renewal in your Apple Account settings after purchase. Deleting the app does not cancel a running subscription.

When a subscription ends, the Premium features are no longer available, ads are shown again, and settings that require Premium (for example additional reminders or a cycle without a patch-free week) return to their defaults. Your recorded cycles and diary entries are kept.

Any unused portion of a free trial period, if offered, is forfeited when you purchase a subscription. Refunds are governed exclusively by Apple’s policies; the developer cannot grant refunds outside of those.

8. Advertising

For users without Premium, MyPatch is financed by ads provided by Google AdMob. Ads are shown within the app and may link to third-party offers; the developer is not responsible for their content. Premium removes all ads.

9. Eligibility

MyPatch is intended for users aged 13 or older. By using the app you confirm that you meet this age requirement and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms (or, if you are a minor, that your legal guardian has consented).

10. Termination

These Terms remain in force as long as you use MyPatch. You may terminate at any time by uninstalling the app from all your devices; please cancel any running subscription separately (see section 7). The developer may terminate or restrict your access immediately if you breach these Terms or use the app in a way that risks harming other users or the service. Termination does not entitle you to a refund of any subscription period already paid.

11. Changes to these Terms

The developer may update these Terms to reflect changes in the app, legal requirements or business operations. Material changes will be announced in the app or on langsoftware.de. Your continued use of MyPatch after such a change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

12. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, without regard to its conflict-of-laws provisions. Mandatory consumer-protection rights of your country of residence remain unaffected.

By continuing to use MyPatch, you confirm that you have read, understood and accepted these Terms of Use.
