What the app holds, why it holds it, and what you can ask us to do with it. Written plainly, because you cannot consent to something you cannot follow.
Our commitment in one sentence
We hold what you tell us with care, we tell you plainly what we do with it, and we never trade on it.
Wylde Wellbeing Ltd is the data controller for The Wylde App, and is registered with the Information Commissioner's Office. You can reach us at info@wyldewellbeing.uk, or by post at Highcroft, Factory Road, Cowbridge, Vale of Glamorgan, CF71 7JD.
This notice covers the members' app at app.wyldewellbeing.uk — your account, what you write in it, and the energy economy. It sits alongside the Wylde Wellbeing Privacy Notice, which covers the coaching practice: sessions, session recording, referrals and the rest. Where the two overlap they say the same thing; where the app does something the practice does not, it is set out here.
The practice notice in force is v3.1, effective 27 August 2026, and you can read it at https://wyldewellbeing.uk.
This notice is issued under the UK General Data Protection Regulation, the Data Protection Act 2018, and the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025.
When you join The Wylde App we process data relating to your membership, and to the reflective content you create inside it.
| Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| Account data | Name, email address, login credentials, membership status and founding-rate flag |
| Billing data | Subscription and payment records, processed by Stripe. We do not store your card details |
| What you create in the app (may include Special Category Data) | Journal entries and reflections, saved resources, lens progress, and your work on the capacity equation — which may include information about your health, chronic illness, emotional wellbeing and identity |
| Energy economy data (Special Category Data) | Set out in full in the next section, because it deserves its own |
| Usage data | How you interact with the app, to keep it working |
We collect this directly from you — the account you create, and the content you choose to save. Nothing in the app is populated from anywhere else, and nothing is carried across from your coaching records.
The app includes an optional set of tools called the Wylde Energy Economy, for tracking, pacing and planning your energy when you are living with fatigue, illness or symptoms. Everything in it is optional. You can use the rest of the app without it, and you can stop using it at any time.
Because this is health information about you, we set out exactly what it holds rather than covering it by implication.
| Feature | What it holds |
|---|---|
| Daily log | Pain and fatigue levels (0–5), symptoms you tick or name yourself, how heavily you drew on each of the five lenses, what replenished you, hydration and nourishment, whether you took your medication, whether the day was a crash, your menstrual cycle phase if you choose to log it, and any note you write |
| Activity ledger | Activities you log, how long they took, and their physical, mental and emotional cost |
| Pace planner | What you have planned, and the energy cost you expect it to carry |
| Weekly reflection | Your written answers to six questions about the week |
| Wellness Plan | Your answers to sixteen questions — including the diagnosis, condition or illness you are living with, your triggers and early warning signs, what keeps you well, and your working, caring and support arrangements |
This is Special Category Data — health data, and, where you log a cycle phase, data concerning your sex life or reproductive health — under Article 9 of the UK GDPR. We rely on your explicit consent under Article 9(2)(a), given through a clear, separate opt-in when you join. You can withdraw it at any time, and withdrawing it does not remove your access to the rest of the app.
What we deliberately do not collect
We do not hold medical records in the app: no appointments, prescriptions, test results, letters, or correspondence with clinicians. If you keep those, keep them somewhere else. The app is not a health record and must not be relied on as one.
Your energy economy data is confidential to you and held securely within the app. In practice that means it is stored in the EU, on servers in Frankfurt, Germany, encrypted in transit and at rest; and it is protected by database-level access rules so that only your own account can read or write your rows. It is not visible to other members, and there is no sharing, export-to-community or social feature anywhere in the app. It is never sold, never shared with third parties for commercial or marketing purposes, and never used to train AI tools. It is deleted when you delete it, or when you close your account.
A note on what this is for. The energy economy is a self-tracking and coaching tool. It is not a medical device, it does not diagnose anything, and nothing in it is medical advice. It does not replace your GP or any clinician, and no clinical decision should be made on the strength of it.
| Purpose | Data used | Lawful basis |
|---|---|---|
| Providing the membership you have paid for | Account data, usage data | Contract |
| Taking payment and calculating VAT | Billing data | Contract; Legal obligation |
| Holding your journal, saved resources and lens progress | What you create in the app | Contract; Explicit consent, for health-adjacent content |
| Running the energy economy | Health data, including diagnosis and cycle phase | Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)); Explicit consent (Art. 9(2)(a)) |
| Sending you onboarding and service emails | Name, email | Contract; Legitimate interests |
| Keeping the app working and secure | Usage data | Legitimate interests |
| Keeping financial records | Billing data | Legal obligation (HMRC) |
Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time. That does not affect the lawfulness of anything we did before you withdrew it.
A data processor is an organisation that processes personal data on our behalf and under our instruction. We only use processors that can demonstrate UK GDPR compliance, and we have written contracts with each.
| Processor | What they do | Data location | Safeguard |
|---|---|---|---|
| Supabase | Hosts member accounts, authentication, and everything you create in the app — journal, saved resources, lens progress, and all energy economy health data | EU — Frankfurt, Germany | GDPR-compliant DPA; EU data residency set at project creation; encryption at rest and in transit |
| Stripe / Stripe Tax | Subscription billing, payment processing and VAT calculation | UK / EEA / USA | PCI-DSS Level 1; UK IDTA and EEA SCCs for any transfer; card data is handled by Stripe and never stored by us |
| Vercel | Hosting and delivery of the app itself | USA / global edge | UK IDTA and EEA SCCs; no special-category data is stored at the hosting layer — that lives in Supabase, in the EU |
| FEA Create | Receives your name and email as a tagged contact when you join, so your onboarding emails can be sent | UK / EEA | GDPR-compliant contracts. Nothing you write in the app is sent to FEA — not your journal, and not your energy economy |
Your member data is stored in the EU. For UK members that is a UK-to-EEA transfer, covered by the UK's adequacy finding for the EEA, so no separate transfer agreement is needed for that leg. Where data does reach the USA — Stripe for payments, Vercel for hosting — we rely on UK International Data Transfer Agreements, or the ICO's UK Addendum to the EEA Standard Contractual Clauses.
What we never do
We never sell your personal data. We never share what you write in the app with third parties for commercial or marketing purposes. We never use identifiable member content to train AI tools. And there is no way for another member to see anything you have written — the app holds your own state, not a community.
The app is AI-free. It stores what you write and shows it back to you. Nothing inside it generates, infers, predicts or recommends anything about you, and no AI system reads your journal or your energy economy.
Nothing you write is monitored
No person reads your journal or your energy economy, and nothing automated reads them either. There is no scanning for risk, no sentiment analysis, no keyword flagging, no risk scoring and no alerting — not to Emily, not to a clinician, not to anyone. This is a privacy protection and a limitation at once: it means what you write stays yours, and it means the app cannot notice that you are struggling. Where to find help is set out in the Membership Terms and at app.wyldewellbeing.uk/support, which is public and needs no login.
We do not make any solely automated decision about you that has legal or similarly significant effects. Where Wylde Wellbeing uses AI elsewhere in the practice — session transcription with your consent, and the coach's own preparation — that is set out in the Wylde Wellbeing Privacy Notice and the AI Policy, both available at wyldewellbeing.uk.
If that ever changes, this notice changes first, and you will be told before any such feature reaches you.
| Data type | Retention period | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| App account data | For the life of your membership; deleted within 30 days of account closure, unless we must retain limited records by law | Contract; your right to erasure |
| What you create in the app — journal, saved resources, lens progress, equation entries | Until you delete it, or within 30 days of account closure or withdrawal of consent | Consent; your right to erasure |
| Energy economy health data — daily logs, activity ledger, pace planner, weekly reflections, Wellness Plan | Until you delete it, or within 30 days of account closure or withdrawal of consent | Explicit consent (Art. 9(2)(a)); your right to erasure |
| Subscription and billing records | 6 years from the end of the financial year | Legal obligation (HMRC) |
| Consent records | Kept after account closure, with your identity removed from them | So there is proof consent was given, without keeping data that still points to you |
Note the distinction: what you write in the app is deletable on request and on account closure. It is not held for the seven-year coaching-records period, which applies to formal 1:1 coaching engagements and not to app membership.
You can delete individual entries yourself at any time, from within the app. You can also close your account entirely from your account page. Closing your account deletes your profile, your journal, your saved resources, your lens progress, and every row of your energy economy data.
Deletion is irreversible. There is no archive, no recycle bin, and no way for us to restore it afterwards — which is the point.
We keep your consent records, with your identity removed from them, so there is a defensible record that consent was captured without holding data that still points to you. Billing records are kept for six years because HMRC requires it.
| Your right | What it means |
|---|---|
| Right of access | You can ask for a copy of the personal data we hold about you, and information about how we use it. We respond within one month |
| Right to rectification | You can ask us to correct data that is inaccurate or incomplete |
| Right to erasure | You can delete your own content in the app at any time, and close your account. You can also ask us to delete data, except where the law requires us to keep it |
| Right to restriction | You can ask us to limit how we use your data in certain circumstances |
| Right to object | You can object to processing we base on legitimate interests |
| Right to data portability | You can ask us to send your app content to you, or to another organisation, in a machine-readable form |
| Right to withdraw consent | Where we rely on consent — including for the energy economy — you can withdraw it at any time, without losing access to the rest of the app |
| Right to complain | You can complain to us, and to the ICO. See the next section |
To exercise any of these, email info@wyldewellbeing.uk. We respond within one month, and we may need to verify who you are first.
If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, please tell us first: info@wyldewellbeing.uk. We acknowledge complaints within five working days and respond substantively within 30 days, as the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 requires.
If you are still unhappy, you have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office: Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF. Helpline 0303 123 1113, or ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint. You also have the right to seek a legal remedy.
Complaints about the coaching itself, rather than about your data, are handled under the Wylde Wellbeing Complaints Procedure, available at wyldewellbeing.uk.
Your privacy matters. If anything here is unclear, we would rather you asked than guessed — info@wyldewellbeing.uk.
