Privacy Policy
Last updated July 23, 2026
YouandMe.care ("YouandMe.care", "we", "us") is operated by CycleLytic LLC. This policy explains what we collect, why, who can see it, and the control you have. We collect as little as possible.
The two roles
- The person sharing (the one being cared for) installs the companion app and chooses what, if anything, to share.
- The person caring (whom the sharer has approved) sees only what the sharer has chosen to share.
A pairing only exists after the sharer accepts it, and either side can end it at any time.
What we collect
- Account details — email (and optionally phone), to sign you in and to send alerts you've asked for.
- Location — only if the sharer enables it. Used to show whereabouts / "home or away" to approved carers. The sharer can share coarse presence only, full location, or neither.
- Activity — steps and movement, if enabled, so a carer can see the person has been up and about.
- Health information — heart rate and related readings from the phone, an Apple Watch, or a paired Bluetooth sensor, if enabled.
- Basic device & log data — needed to deliver notifications and keep the service working and secure.
Health & sensitive data
Health information (including data from Apple Health / HealthKit) is used only to provide the awareness features to the carers the sharer has approved. We do not use health data for advertising, we do not sell it, and we do not share it with anyone the sharer hasn't authorized.
Who can see the data
Only the specific approved carer(s) in an active pairing — plus our systems, to operate the service. We never sell personal information, and we don't share it for advertising or marketing.
Service providers
A few vendors process data solely to run YouandMe.care on our behalf: our hosting provider, our email provider (sign-in and notifications), and — where the carer opts into text/call escalation — our messaging provider. They may not use the data for their own purposes.
Your choices & control
- Turn any shared data type on or off at any time.
- Pause or permanently end a pairing.
- See what you are currently sharing, from inside the app.
- Delete your account and its data — in the app, or by emailing us.
Retention & deletion
We keep data only as long as needed to provide the service. When you delete your account, we delete your personal data, subject to limited legal retention requirements. Request deletion at hello@youandme.care.
Security
Data is encrypted in transit, and access is restricted to what's needed to run the service. No system is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable measures to protect your information.
Children
YouandMe.care is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 13. Where a caregiver uses it in a family context, the account holder is responsible for having the necessary consent.
Changes
We'll post any changes here and update the date above.
