Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 2026 · Draft pending attorney review

Gest is the surrogacy companion app for intended parents and gestational carriers. This page summarizes how we handle your information. Our full privacy policy will be published before public launch.

What we collect

Account information you provide (name, email), journey details you choose to add (due date, surrogate's first name, journey phase), photos and posts you share, and documents you upload to your private vault.

Reproductive health data

We treat reproductive health data with the highest level of care. We do not sell, rent, license, or monetize this data. We do not share it with law enforcement except where strictly required by a valid court order directed specifically at our company. We comply with applicable state consumer health data privacy laws, including Washington's My Health My Data Act and the California Consumer Privacy Act.

AI processing

When you use the AI companion, your messages are sent to our AI provider over an encrypted connection for processing. Under our paid API agreement, your data is not used to train, improve, or develop any AI models — ours or anyone else's.

Your data is yours

You can export or delete your data at any time. When you delete your account, we remove your personal data within 30 days. Backup copies are purged within 90 days.
