Privacy Policy

Last updated: December 29, 2025

Your privacy matters. This policy explains how IBS Logger ("we", "our", or "the app") handles your information.

The Short Version

Your health data stays on your device. We don't collect it, we don't store it, we don't sell it.

Data Storage

Local Storage Only

All your health information is stored locally on your device using:

• iOS UserDefaults for app settings
• Local device storage for your IBS logs, meal photos, and tracking data

This data never leaves your device unless you explicitly export it yourself.

What We Store Locally

The app stores the following on your device:

• IBS flare logs (symptoms, triggers, severity, dates/times)
• Food and meal tracking data
• Medication records
• Bristol Chart entries
• Daily wellness tracking (energy, stress, water intake, sleep)
• Photos you add to meal logs
• Weather data temporarily fetched for pattern analysis
• App preferences and settings

Data We Collect

Personal Information

We do not collect any personally identifiable information. You are not required to create an account or provide any personal details to use IBS Logger.

Location Data

If you grant permission, the app accesses your location to:

• Fetch local weather data (temperature, barometric pressure, humidity)
• Analyze potential correlations between weather conditions and your symptoms

Your location coordinates are:

• Never stored permanently
• Never transmitted to our servers (we don't have servers)
• Only used temporarily to fetch weather data from a third-party API (Open-Meteo)

You can revoke location permission at any time through iOS Settings.

Weather Data

Weather information is fetched from Open-Meteo's free API. When you enable location services:

• Your coordinates are sent to Open-Meteo to retrieve weather data
• We receive: temperature, barometric pressure, and humidity
• This data is stored locally with your flare logs
• Open-Meteo's privacy policy applies to their data collection

Third-Party Services

RevenueCat (Subscription Management)

We use RevenueCat to manage in-app purchases and premium subscriptions. RevenueCat may collect:

• Anonymous device identifiers
• Purchase and subscription status
• App usage analytics related to purchases

RevenueCat does not have access to your health data. See RevenueCat's Privacy Policy.

Open-Meteo (Weather API)

Open-Meteo provides weather data. See their terms for how they handle API requests.

What We Don't Do

• No cloud storage: Your data is not backed up to our servers (we don't have any)
• No data selling: We never sell your information to third parties
• No advertising: No ads, no tracking pixels, no data brokers
• No analytics: We don't use Google Analytics or similar services
• No account required: No email collection, no user profiles

Data Exports

You can export your data at any time via the app's export feature (premium feature). Exports are:

• Generated locally on your device
• Saved to your device or shared via iOS share sheet
• In PDF or CSV format
• Entirely under your control

Data Deletion

To delete your data:

• Use the app's "Clear All Data" feature in Settings
• Or delete the app from your device

Either action permanently removes all locally stored health data. This cannot be undone.

Children's Privacy

IBS Logger is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

Security

Your data is protected by:

• iOS system-level encryption and security
• No network transmission of health data
• Local-only storage

We recommend enabling device passcode/biometric lock and keeping your iOS version updated.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy occasionally. Changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance.

Your Rights

Since all data is stored locally on your device, you have complete control:

• Right to access: View your data anytime in the app
• Right to export: Use the export feature
• Right to delete: Clear data or delete the app
• Right to control location: Manage in iOS Settings
