Plain Language Summary
Period & Beyond is a personal wellness tracking app. It is not a medical app. It does not diagnose, treat, or provide medical advice of any kind.
Everything the app generates — cycle predictions, fertile window estimates, ovulation tracking, symptom patterns, wellness scores — is based on the data you log and general population research. These are personal awareness tools, not clinical results.
If you have a health concern, please speak to a doctor.
1. Nature of the App
Period & Beyond is designed to help individuals track their menstrual cycle, log symptoms and moods, and identify personal patterns over time. It is a self-awareness and wellness tool.
Devcollar Private Limited is a technology company. We are not a healthcare provider, medical institution, diagnostic laboratory, or pharmaceutical company. Period & Beyond is not registered as a medical device under the Medical Devices Rules 2017 (India) or any equivalent regulation.
2. No Medical Advice
Nothing in Period & Beyond — including but not limited to:
- Cycle length predictions
- Next period start date estimates
- Ovulation date estimates
- Fertile window calculations
- Symptom tracking and pattern analysis
- Wellness scores
- Mood correlations
- Educational content and blog articles
- Notifications and reminders
- Any insight, suggestion, or recommendation generated by the app
— constitutes medical advice, clinical diagnosis, or professional health guidance of any kind.
The information generated by the app is intended solely for personal awareness and general informational purposes. It is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
3. Consult a Healthcare Professional
Always seek the advice of a qualified and licensed healthcare professional — such as a gynaecologist, general physician, or reproductive health specialist — for any questions or concerns you have about your health, including:
- Irregular, absent, or unusually painful periods
- Concerns about fertility or conception
- Reproductive health conditions such as PCOS, endometriosis, or fibroids
- Hormonal imbalances or thyroid-related concerns
- Pregnancy planning or pregnancy confirmation
- Contraception decisions
- Sexually transmitted infections
- Mental health concerns related to your cycle or reproductive health
- Any other medical condition
Never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of something you read or saw in this app.
4. Limitations of Cycle Predictions
The cycle predictions and estimates generated by Period & Beyond are mathematical calculations based on:
- The data you have logged in the app
- Established scientific literature on average menstrual cycle patterns
- Statistical population averages
These calculations have inherent limitations:
- Menstrual cycles vary significantly between individuals and from cycle to cycle within the same individual.
- Predictions become more personalised as you log more data over time, but they remain estimates.
- External factors — including stress, illness, travel, diet, weight changes, medication, and hormonal shifts — can affect your cycle in ways the app cannot anticipate or detect.
- The app cannot detect pregnancy, miscarriage, or medical conditions affecting the cycle.
Do not use Period & Beyond as a method of contraception. Fertile window estimates are not a reliable form of birth control. If you wish to avoid or achieve pregnancy, please consult a healthcare professional about evidence-based contraception or fertility methods.
5. Educational Content
Blog articles and educational content published on periodandbeyond.com and within the app are written or reviewed by qualified medical professionals and are intended for general informational purposes only.
This content:
- Reflects general knowledge and is not tailored to your individual health situation
- May not reflect the most current medical research at the time you read it
- Does not constitute a clinical recommendation
- Should not be used as the basis for any health decision without consulting your doctor
All educational content carries a medical disclaimer at the point of publication.
6. Emergency Situations
If you are experiencing a medical emergency, do not use this app. Call emergency services immediately.
In India, the national emergency number is 112.
If you are experiencing severe symptoms — including but not limited to severe pelvic pain, heavy uncontrolled bleeding, signs of infection, symptoms of ectopic pregnancy, or a mental health crisis — seek immediate medical attention.
The app includes an Emergency Resources section with relevant helplines and healthcare contacts for your reference.
7. Mental Health
Period & Beyond tracks mood as part of cycle awareness. This is not a mental health assessment tool.
If you are experiencing persistent low mood, anxiety, depression, or emotional distress — whether or not it appears related to your cycle — please reach out to a qualified mental health professional. Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) and other cycle-related mental health conditions require proper clinical assessment and care.

8. No Liability for Health Decisions
Devcollar Private Limited expressly disclaims all liability for any harm, loss, or damage — whether direct, indirect, or consequential — arising from:
- Health or lifestyle decisions made in reliance on information, predictions, or content generated by Period & Beyond
- Delays in seeking medical attention due to information seen in the app
- Misinterpretation of cycle data, predictions, or wellness insights
- Use of the app's fertile window estimates as a contraceptive method
- Reliance on educational content in place of professional medical advice
Your use of Period & Beyond is entirely at your own risk with respect to any health-related decisions.
9. Accuracy of Data
The quality of insights generated by the app depends entirely on the accuracy and consistency of the data you log. Incomplete, inaccurate, or inconsistent logging will affect the reliability of predictions and patterns. The app cannot verify the accuracy of data you enter.
