Security at MumWell

Last Updated: February 11, 2026

As a health application, MumWell handles sensitive personal and health data. We take the security of your information extremely seriously. This page outlines the measures we use to protect your data.

Data Protection

MumWell is designed with UK data protection principles at its core. We adhere to the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. Key principles include:

  • Data minimisation — we only collect data essential for providing our services
  • Purpose limitation — your data is used only for the purposes stated in our Privacy Policy
  • Storage limitation — health data is retained only as long as your account is active
  • Right to erasure — you can request deletion of your data at any time

Encryption

All data transmitted between your device and our servers is encrypted using TLS 1.3 (Transport Layer Security). Data stored in our database is encrypted at rest using AES-256 encryption, the same standard used by financial institutions.

Infrastructure

MumWell is built on enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure with SOC 2 Type II certified providers. Our infrastructure includes:

  • Automated security patching and updates
  • DDoS protection and Web Application Firewall
  • Regular automated backups
  • Geographic data residency controls

Access Controls

We implement strict access controls to ensure your data is only accessible to you:

  • Row-Level Security (RLS) ensures each user can only access their own data
  • Authentication tokens are securely managed with automatic expiration
  • Administrative access is restricted and audited
  • API endpoints are protected with authentication and rate limiting

AI Data Handling

Our AI Assistant uses your health data only within the context of your conversation to provide personalised guidance. We do not:

  • Use your health data to train AI models
  • Share your health data with third parties for advertising
  • Store AI conversation logs beyond your active session unless explicitly saved
