This Privacy Policy explains how Axis X ("Axis X", "we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, shares, and protects your personal information when you visit our website, join the waitlist, or use the Axis X mobile application (collectively, the "Service").
We've tried to write this in plain language. Where we use defined terms, they're explained where they appear. If anything is unclear, you can always reach us at the contact address at the bottom of this page.
1.Who we are
Axis X is a wellbeing application designed to help women 35+ build and follow a personalized health system. The Service is operated by Axis X Limited, a company registered in England and Wales under company number 17435401, with its registered office at 2nd Floor, College House, 17 King Edwards Road, Ruislip, London, United Kingdom, HA4 7AE.
Axis X Limited is the "controller" of your personal data — the entity that decides why and how it is processed. You can reach us about anything in this Policy at privacy@axisx.ai or by post at the address above.
If you're located in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, references to GDPR apply equally to the UK GDPR and the Swiss FADP where relevant.
2.Information we collect
Information you give us directly
- Waitlist email address. When you join the waitlist, we collect your email address, the fact that you ticked the consent box, and the date and time you confirmed your subscription by clicking the link in our confirmation email (double opt-in).
- Account information. We collect the information you provide when you create an account — for example, name, age range, and broad goals you describe.
- Health and wellbeing inputs. Information you choose to share inside the Service — including journal entries, mood logs, symptoms, cycle and hormone-related data, medications, supplements, sleep, food, exercise, and any uploaded documents such as lab results.
- Voice or text descriptions. If you describe your situation by voice or text, the content you submit is used to build your system. Voice recordings are used only to produce a transcript and are deleted from your device immediately after transcription; we do not store audio on our servers. Only the transcript is kept, as part of your account data.
- Communications. If you write to us, we keep a record of the message and any reply.
Information we receive from your device or third parties
- Device and usage information. Technical details such as device type, operating system version, app version, language, time zone, and information about how you use the Service.
- Apple Health. If you choose to connect Apple Health, we read only the categories you authorize in the iOS permission prompt. Axis X may request access to: sleep analysis, steps and distance, heart rate (including resting heart rate and heart rate variability), workouts and active energy, body weight, and cycle tracking (menstrual flow, symptoms and related data). Axis X does not write any data back to Apple Health. See Section 12 for the additional rules that apply to this data. If a similar platform becomes available on another operating system, the same approach will apply.
- Calendar. If you connect Google Calendar or Apple Calendar, Axis X reads the events in your calendar — their times, titles and locations — from one month back to one month ahead, and keeps this copy up to date while the calendar is connected. We use it to place your plan's actions at times when you are free, to recognise things like work, sport or travel, and to show your events on the "Your calendar" screen. Axis X writes your plan into a separate calendar called "Axis X", and changes your own calendar only when you ask it to in chat, for example to add or move an event. The AI that writes Axis X's replies is told only when you are busy in the next seven days, not what your events are, unless you ask about a specific event in chat. When you disconnect a calendar, we delete the copy of its events we hold. The "Axis X" calendar stays in your calendar app until you delete it. See Google user data below for the additional rules that apply to Google Calendar.
- Usage statistics. When usage statistics are switched on, the app sends anonymous statistics about how it is used: which screens and features are opened, as fixed event names and labels. They never include health data, anything you type or say, your name or your email address. They carry a random ID made on your phone, not your account, and only the app version and operating system; your IP address is not used to locate you. They go to our analytics provider, Mixpanel, which stores them in the EU. New members are asked during onboarding. For people who joined before 7 October 2026 and had not made a choice, usage statistics were switched on. You can switch them off at any time in You → Settings → Privacy & data; sending then stops, and we ask Mixpanel to forget your phone's random ID.
Google user data
If you sign in with Google, we receive your Google account ID and email address, and use them only to create your account and sign you in.
If you connect Google Calendar, Axis X asks Google for three permissions:
- See your calendars and events — to read them as described under "Calendar" above.
- Add and change events — only to add or move an event you ask for in chat.
- Create its own calendar — to keep your plan in a separate "Axis X" calendar you can hide or delete at any time.
We keep your Google Calendar access token on our servers so your calendar can stay up to date. When you disconnect Google Calendar we revoke it and delete it, and when your account is deleted we revoke it before your data is removed. You can also remove Axis X's access at any time at myaccount.google.com/permissions.
We do not sell Google user data, use it for advertising, or use it to train AI models. We share it only with the service providers we need to run Axis X (Section 5), under contract. People at Axis X do not read it, except when you ask us to (for example in a support request), when it is needed for security, or when the law requires it.
Axis X's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
3.How we use your information
We use your information to:
- Send you launch updates and a welcome email when Axis X is ready — only if you ticked the consent box when joining the waitlist and confirmed your address. Every email includes a one-click unsubscribe link.
- Provide and personalize the Service — including building your wellbeing system, generating routines, dashboards, and starting suggestions for movement and supplements.
- Surface insights, weekly recaps, and pattern analysis that depend on your tracked parameters.
- Improve the Service through aggregated, de-identified analysis of usage patterns and unmet needs.
- Communicate with you about the Service, security notices, and legal changes.
- Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and security incidents.
- Comply with applicable law, court orders, and lawful requests from public authorities.
We do not sell your personal information. We do not use your health data, journal content, or voice transcripts to train AI models — ours or anyone else's — and our AI provider is contractually prohibited from doing so (see Section 5). We do not run third-party advertising inside the Service.
4.Legal basis (for users in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland)
If you're in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, we rely on the following legal bases under the GDPR / UK GDPR / FADP:
- Consent (Art. 6(1)(a))
- For the waitlist email, marketing communications, connecting Apple Health, and — given with a separate consent of its own when you create your account, apart from accepting this Policy — processing your health data (special category, Art. 9(2)(a)) and sending your content to our AI provider for processing.
- Contract (Art. 6(1)(b))
- To provide the core Service you've requested once you become a user.
- Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f))
- To improve the Service, prevent abuse, and keep our systems secure — balanced against your rights and freedoms.
- Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c))
- To comply with laws that apply to us.
You may withdraw consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect processing carried out before withdrawal. Axis X cannot build or run your system without your consent to the use of your health information, so you withdraw it by deleting your account in the app, under Settings; you have 7 days to change your mind. Withdrawing your other consents — usage statistics, marketing emails, Apple Health — does not affect your account. We keep a record of when you gave or withdrew each consent and the wording you agreed to.
5.How we share information
We share personal information only with the following categories of recipients, and only as needed:
- Service providers ("processors"). Hosting, email delivery, usage statistics (Mixpanel, described below), error monitoring, and the AI provider described below. They act under our instructions and are bound by data-processing agreements.
- Professional advisors. Lawyers, accountants, and auditors when needed.
- Authorities. When legally required to comply with valid requests, court orders, or to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others.
- Successors. If Axis X is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may transfer to the successor entity, which will continue to be bound by this Policy unless you're notified otherwise.
We do not sell or rent your personal information, and we do not share health-related data with third-party advertisers.
Waitlist and email delivery by MailerLite
Our waitlist and launch emails are run through MailerLite (UAB "MailerLite", J. Basanavičiaus g. 15, Vilnius, Lithuania), a European email-marketing service. When you submit the waitlist form, your email address is sent directly to MailerLite, which stores it, sends the confirmation and launch emails on our behalf, and records your consent and any unsubscribe. MailerLite acts as our processor under a data-processing agreement, hosts the data in the European Union, and may not use it for any purpose of its own. No MailerLite code runs on our website and no cookies are set by the form.
AI processing by Anthropic
Axis X uses large language models provided by Anthropic, PBC to understand what you tell it, build your wellbeing system, generate insights and recaps, and answer your questions. To do this, the relevant parts of your content — such as your chat messages, voice transcripts, meal photos and described meals, journal entries, tracked values, connected health data and uploaded documents — are sent to Anthropic's API and processed on our behalf. What comes back (for example the foods and values read from a meal photo) is stored on your account.
- Anthropic acts as our processor under a data-processing agreement and may use your data only to provide the service to us.
- Anthropic does not use your data to train its models. Under our commercial terms, inputs and outputs are not used for model training.
- Anthropic retains API inputs and outputs only for the limited period needed to operate the service and detect abuse, after which they are deleted. We do not send Anthropic your name, email address or account identifiers alongside your content.
- Anthropic processes data in the United States; the transfer safeguards in Section 9 apply.
You agree to this with a separate consent of its own when you create your account, apart from accepting this Policy. Because Axis X cannot build or run your system without it, there is no switch to turn it off while you keep using the app; you withdraw it by deleting your account in Settings (see Section 4).
Usage statistics by Mixpanel
The app's usage statistics (see Section 2) are processed by Mixpanel, Inc. and stored in Mixpanel's EU data centre.
- Mixpanel acts as our processor under a data-processing agreement and may use the statistics only to provide the service to us.
- It receives only fixed event names and labels, a random ID made on your phone, and the app version and operating system — never health data, anything you type or say, your name or your email address.
- When you switch usage statistics off, we ask Mixpanel to delete what it holds under your phone's random ID.
- Mixpanel is a US company; the transfer safeguards in Section 9 apply.
6.Data retention
We keep personal data only for as long as it is needed for the purpose it was collected for. The table below sets out how long each kind of data is kept and what happens to it afterwards.
| What we keep | How long |
|---|---|
| Meal photos | 7 days after recognition, then removed automatically. The meal, its values and history stay. Deleting a photo yourself removes it at once. |
| Meal photos we could not recognise | Up to 24 hours, for one retry |
| Uploaded medical documents (lab reports and similar) | 1 year. Values already read from a document stay, with the document's name and parse date. |
| Medical-document processing logs | 90 days |
| Conversations with the assistant | Up to 90 days, after which only structured summaries remain |
| Conversation summaries | While your account is active |
| The prompts used to generate your personal system | 90 days |
| Replaced versions of your personal system and their build files | 90 days after replacement |
| Your current personal system | While it exists |
| Access and decision logs (health data access, data capture, communication decisions) | At least 90 days |
| Server logs (requests, errors, background jobs) | 30 days, then deleted automatically. They hold no personal values. |
| Voice recordings | Not kept. Deleted from your device as soon as the transcript returns; never stored by our service. |
| Your logged values and their history | While your account exists. You can correct or remove your own entries at any time. |
| Connected health data (Apple Health, Health Connect) | Up to one year of history imported, then kept current while your account exists |
| Connected calendar events and busy times (Google Calendar, Apple Calendar) | One month back to one month ahead, kept current while the calendar is connected. Deleted when you disconnect the calendar, or with the rest of your account when it is deleted. |
| Usage statistics (Mixpanel) | 12 months, then deleted |
| Signed-in session | Ends after 60 days of inactivity |
| Verification and password-reset codes | 10 minutes |
| Unfinished Apple or Google sign-up | 7 days |
| Database backups | Daily backups for 30 days; recovery logs for 7 days; weekly backups for up to 1 year |
| Your account after you request deletion | 7-day cancellation window, then the account and its personal data are deleted |
Waitlist emails are kept until launch; afterwards they are converted to your account email or deleted within 90 days if you don't sign up.
7.Security
We use industry-standard technical and organizational measures to protect your information, including encryption in transit (TLS) and at rest, access controls, audit logging, and the principle of least privilege. Where possible, we process data on-device or in a privacy-preserving way.
No system is perfectly secure. If we ever experience a breach that affects your personal information, we will notify you and the relevant authorities as required by law.
8.Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live, you may have some or all of the following rights:
- Access — request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
- Correction — ask us to correct information that is inaccurate or incomplete.
- Deletion — ask us to delete your information, subject to certain legal exceptions.
- Portability — receive a structured, machine-readable copy of your data.
- Objection & restriction — object to certain processing or request that we restrict it.
- Withdraw consent — at any time, where we rely on consent.
- Lodge a complaint — with your data protection authority. In the UK this is the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO): ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint, helpline 0303 123 1113, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire SK9 5AF. EEA residents can contact the supervisory authority of their country of residence. We'd appreciate the chance to address your concern first, but you don't have to contact us before going to the regulator.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the address in Section 14. We will respond within the time limits set by applicable law (one month under the UK GDPR and GDPR, extendable by two further months for complex requests; 45 days under the CCPA).
California residents have specific rights under the CCPA/CPRA, including the right to know what personal information we collect, the right to delete it, the right to correct inaccuracies, and the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information (we do not sell or share personal information as defined by the CCPA). We do not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights.
9.International data transfers
Your personal information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than the one where you live. Where we transfer personal data out of the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, we use appropriate safeguards — typically the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses, the UK International Data Transfer Addendum, and (where applicable) supplementary measures.
10.Cookies & tracking
Our website currently sets no cookies and uses no analytics or advertising trackers. (This is about the website; the app's usage statistics are described in Section 5.) The waitlist form sends only the email address you type, directly to MailerLite (see Section 5).
The website loads the Inter and Fraunces typefaces from Google Fonts. When your browser fetches them, Google receives your IP address and standard request information, which Google processes under its own privacy policy. No cookies are set by this request.
If we add analytics or other non-essential cookies in the future, we will show a consent banner that lets you accept or reject them before they are set, as required by UK and EU law. You can also control cookies through your browser settings.
11.Children's privacy
The Service is intended for adults 18 and older and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take prompt steps to delete it.
12.Health information
Some information you share with Axis X — symptoms, medications, cycle data, lab results — qualifies as "special category" personal data under GDPR (sometimes called sensitive personal information). We process it only with your explicit consent, which you give with a separate consent of its own when you create your account, only for the purposes described in this Policy, and we apply additional protections, including:
- Storing health data in encrypted form, separated from non-sensitive identifiers where feasible.
- Restricting internal access to authorized personnel on a need-to-know basis.
- Never using health data to train AI models, ours or a third party's.
- Never sharing health data with advertisers, data brokers, or any third party for marketing purposes.
Apple Health (HealthKit) data
Data we receive from Apple Health is subject to additional commitments, in line with Apple's requirements for apps that use HealthKit:
- We use it solely to provide health and wellbeing features to you — dashboards, trends, correlations and personalised routines.
- We never use it for advertising, marketing, or similar purposes, never sell it, and never disclose it to data brokers, information resellers, advertising platforms or analytics providers.
- We share it with a third party only as needed to provide those features to you (our hosting provider and, with your permission, Anthropic as described in Section 5), and never for any other purpose.
- We do not store Apple Health data in iCloud.
- We do not write data to Apple Health.
- You can revoke access at any time in the iOS Health app (Sharing → Apps → Axis X) or in Axis X's settings. Revoking access stops new data flowing; you can delete already-imported data by deleting it in the app or deleting your account.
Automated processing
Axis X analyses your data automatically — including with AI — to build your system, spot patterns, and generate routines, insights and suggestions. This analysis is offered for your information and you decide whether to act on it. It does not produce decisions with legal or similarly significant effects on you, and it is never used to determine your eligibility for, or the price of, any product or service. If you have a question about how a particular insight was produced, you can ask us at any time.
Axis X is a wellbeing app, not a medical device. Insights surfaced inside the Service are observations for your personal awareness and are not a substitute for advice from a qualified healthcare professional.
Beta programme (TestFlight)
Before general release we may offer Axis X through Apple's TestFlight. If you take part, please note:
- Apple collects certain information from beta testers — including your email address, device and iOS version, crash logs, and any screenshots or feedback you submit through TestFlight — under Apple's Privacy Policy. Apple shares crash logs and feedback with us so we can fix problems.
- Beta builds may collect more detailed diagnostic data than the released app, so we can find and fix bugs. This data is used only for that purpose and is retained for no longer than 90 days after the beta ends.
- Data you enter during the beta may be reset or deleted when the beta ends or between builds. Everything else in this Policy — including your rights and our commitments about health data — applies during the beta exactly as it will afterwards.
13.Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we'll update the "Last updated" date at the top and notify you in the Service or by email at least 30 days before the changes take effect. Where a change involves processing that relies on your consent — for example a new use of your health data or a new AI provider — we will ask for your consent again before that processing begins, rather than assuming it from your continued use. For other changes, continuing to use the Service after the effective date means the updated Policy applies to you. Earlier versions are available on request.
14.How to contact us
