Privacy Policy

Last Updated: July 27, 2026

Data We Do Not Collect

HydroFlow does not collect personal data from you for our own servers or for third parties. In App Store Connect privacy labeling terms, HydroFlow does not “collect” data: nothing is transmitted off your device to the developer or to advertising/analytics partners. There is no account system, no developer backend, and no third-party analytics or advertising SDKs. Hydration records and preferences stay on your device so the app can work offline.

Information Stored on Your Device

To provide app functionality, HydroFlow stores the following information locally on your device (for example via iOS UserDefaults and related on-device storage): • Water intake records (date, amount, beverage type, hydration equivalent) • Estimated caffeine intake (for caffeinated beverages) • Daily hydration goals and preferences • Body profile (height, weight, optional auto-goal calculation) • Mood notes (optional; text notes require Pro) • Reminder settings • Achievement and ocean progress data • Pro purchase status (verified locally via Apple StoreKit) This information is used only on your device to: • Track daily water intake and show progress • Calculate hydration statistics • Schedule local reminder notifications (if enabled) • Display achievements and Living Ocean unlocks We do not sell, share, or upload this information to external servers operated by us.

Data Storage

Your hydration-related information remains on your device and is: • Stored locally using Apple’s on-device storage (such as UserDefaults) • Encrypted by iOS when the device is locked (as applicable) • Included in your device backup (iCloud/computer) only if you enable backups • Never transmitted by HydroFlow over the internet to our servers • Removed when you delete the app (subject to any backups you keep)

Notifications

If you enable reminder notifications, we use Apple's local notification system to send you hydration reminders. These notifications: • Are scheduled and delivered entirely on your device • Do not require internet connectivity • Can be disabled at any time in Settings • Do not track your location or behavior

Analytics and Diagnostics

HydroFlow does not integrate third-party analytics or advertising SDKs. The app may rely on Apple's system-level diagnostic services (such as anonymous crash reports submitted through iOS when you opt in). This data: • Does not contain personally identifiable information • Is collected only through Apple's platform, not by HydroFlow directly • Is used solely for debugging and improvement • Is handled according to Apple's privacy standards You can disable analytics in iOS Settings > Privacy & Security > Analytics & Improvements.

Apple Health Integration

If you enable Apple Health integration in Settings, HydroFlow will sync your water intake and caffeine intake records to the Health app on your device, and may read today's water intake from Health for display purposes. • Data written: Water intake amount, beverage type, and caffeine content • Data read: Dietary water intake (today's total, when authorized) • Storage: Stored locally on your device within the Health app • No data is transmitted to external servers through this integration • You can revoke access at any time: Settings > Health > Data Access & Devices

In-App Purchases

HydroFlow offers a one-time Pro upgrade purchase. Purchase transactions are: • Processed securely by Apple through the App Store • Subject to Apple's privacy policy • Not collected or stored by HydroFlow We only verify your purchase status locally through Apple's StoreKit framework.

Sharing

HydroFlow lets you voluntarily share rendered images (such as daily progress cards or ocean creature cards) through the iOS system share sheet. Sharing is always initiated by you. We do not receive or store shared content on our servers.

Third-Party & Licensed Content
