We will never show HR an employee’s cycle data. Ever.
If employees don’t trust it, they won’t use it. So we built every layer of Neli around one rule: your cycle data is yours.
What HR Sees
- Anonymized group energy patterns (Go, Steady, and Ease days for the team)
- Aggregated cycle-phase data — no names, no individual details
- Program adoption and engagement rates
- That’s it. Group trends only. Nothing personal. Nothing identifiable.
What HR Never Sees
- Individual cycle phases
- Individual symptom data
- Individual app usage patterns
- Any data that could identify a specific employee’s cycle
How Team Pulse Protects Privacy
Team leaders see energy patterns — not personal data. The Team Pulse calendar shows three scheduling zones based on anonymous, aggregated phase data. No one can see which employee is in which phase.
- Scores are calculated from anonymous phase data — no names attached
- Team leaders see Go, Steady, and Ease days — never individual cycles
- Employees choose to opt in. They can opt out anytime.
- Only phase names are used. No dates. No symptoms. No details.
Employee Data Rights
- Employees own 100% of their personal data
- Participation is always voluntary — opt in, opt out, anytime
- Employees can delete all their data at any time
- Check-in data (energy, sleep, mood) shapes their guidance only. It never reaches HR or managers.
- Data is never sold, shared, or used beyond the employee’s own guidance
- No manager alerts. No individual dashboards. No exceptions.
Why This Matters
One HR director told us: “Employees were candid about not wanting another system that funnels intimate health data back to the company, even in aggregate.”
That feedback shaped everything we built. The fastest way to kill a wellness program is to make people feel watched.
Privacy isn’t a feature we added. It’s the foundation we built on.
