Drink Your Water
Privacy Policy

Effective date: August 15, 2026

This policy explains what information the Drink Your Water app collects, how it's used, and what choices you have. We built Drink Your Water to work almost entirely on your device — this policy reflects that.

1. Who We Are

Drink Your Water is developed by Jarrod Simpson, doing business as Drink Your Water ("we," "us," or "our"). You can reach us at support@drinkyourwater.app with any privacy questions.

2. Information We Collect

Drink Your Water does not require you to create an account, and does not ask for your name, email address, or contact details to use the app. The information below is stored locally on your device using an on-device database, and is not transmitted to us or to any server we control.

Habit & reminder settings

Reminder text, scheduled times, frequency, custom habit frameworks — on-device only

Completion history

Timestamps you confirmed a habit, snooze counts — on-device only

Progress data

Streak counts, best streak, total completions — on-device only

App preferences

Overlay theme, notification sound, motivational content style, vacation mode dates — on-device only

Uninstalling the app, or using the Delete All Account Data option in Settings, permanently erases this information from your device.

3. Device Permissions

Drink Your Water does not request access to your camera, microphone, contacts, precise location, photos, or files. If a future version requests a new permission (for example, to schedule notifications reliably on newer Android versions), we'll update this policy and the in-app explanation before that permission is used.

4. Subscriptions & Payments

Custom habit frameworks beyond the free water-reminder tier are offered through auto-renewing subscriptions. These purchases are processed entirely by Google Play's billing system (and, for any future iOS version, Apple's App Store billing). We do not receive or store your payment card details — Google and Apple handle that directly under their own privacy policies.

5. Third-Party Services

We use the following services to operate the app. Each only sees what's described below:

  • Google Play Services / Google Play Billing — app distribution and payment processing.
  • Firebase App Check — verifies that requests to any backend services come from a genuine copy of the app; does not collect personal information about you.

We do not display third-party advertising and do not sell your information to anyone.

6. Children's Privacy

Drink Your Water is not directed at children under 13 (or the relevant age of consent in your region), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Since core app data stays on-device and no account is required, there is minimal collection risk either way. If you believe a child has provided us information through a support channel, contact us and we'll delete it.

7. Data Retention & Deletion

Habit and progress data is retained on your device for as long as you keep the app installed. You can delete all locally stored data at any time via Settings → Delete All Account Data, or by uninstalling the app. Subscription records are retained by Google Play (and Apple, for any future iOS version) according to their own retention policies, primarily for billing and fraud-prevention purposes.

8. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete your personal information, and to object to certain processing (for example, under the EU/UK GDPR or the California Consumer Privacy Act). Because Drink Your Water stores your habit data locally rather than on our servers, you can exercise most of these rights directly in the app via the delete-data option. For anything else — including questions about data held by our payment or subscription processors — contact us at support@drinkyourwater.app.

9. Security

Habit data is stored in your device's app-private storage, which is sandboxed by the Android operating system and inaccessible to other apps without root access. No method of storage is perfectly secure, so we can't guarantee absolute security, but nothing here is transmitted over the network by default, which limits exposure considerably.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as the app evolves — for example, when we add new features or third-party services. We'll update the "Effective date" above when we do, and for material changes we'll provide notice in the app.
