Health Disclaimer
Please read this carefully before using CycleVault to make decisions about your health or reproduction.
CycleVault is not a medical device, not a contraceptive method, and not a substitute for professional medical advice. It is a personal tracking tool only. Do not rely on it for birth control or medical decisions.
1. Not a medical device
CycleVault is a personal period and cycle tracking application. It is not a medical device, does not carry any medical certification, and has not been evaluated or approved by any medical regulatory authority including the European Medicines Agency (EMA), the FDA, or equivalent national bodies.
CycleVault is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, prevent, or monitor any medical condition.
2. Not a contraceptive method
CycleVault must not be used as a method of birth control or contraception. It cannot reliably prevent pregnancy.
While CycleVault may help you log and understand patterns in your menstrual cycle, cycle prediction is inherently variable. Many factors can alter cycle length and ovulation timing including illness, stress, hormonal changes, travel, and medication.
If you wish to use fertility awareness for contraceptive purposes, please consult a qualified healthcare provider who can guide you through a validated fertility awareness method with appropriate instruction and support.
3. Not a substitute for medical advice
Nothing in CycleVault — including cycle predictions, symptom logs, pattern observations, or any content in our blog — constitutes medical advice, and nothing should be interpreted as a recommendation regarding your health.
Always seek the advice of your doctor, gynaecologist, or qualified healthcare professional with any questions you have regarding a medical condition, including:
- Irregular or absent periods
- Unusually heavy or painful menstruation
- Fertility concerns or difficulty conceiving
- Symptoms that concern you in any way
- Pregnancy planning or contraception
Never delay seeking professional medical advice or disregard it because of something you have read in CycleVault or on our blog.

5. Prediction accuracy
CycleVault may offer predictions or estimates of future cycle events such as period start dates or fertile windows. These predictions are based solely on the data you have entered and use standard statistical models.
Cycle predictions are estimates only. They are not guarantees, and individual cycles can and do vary significantly from predictions.
Factors including — but not limited to — stress, illness, significant weight change, travel across time zones, hormonal contraceptives, thyroid conditions, and perimenopause can all cause cycles to differ from predicted patterns.
Do not make significant health, reproductive, or lifestyle decisions based solely on predictions shown in CycleVault.
