Privacy Policy

The Short Version

Your health data stays on your device. We do not collect it, store it on our servers, sell it, or share it with anyone. Ever. The only data we process is what you enter into the app, and it is encrypted on your device using iOS Keychain (iPhone) or Android Keystore (Android).

1. Information We Collect

Information you provide directly

When you complete the onboarding questionnaire, Apex Health stores the following data locally on your device only:

• Name and age
• Height and weight (metric or imperial)
• Health and fitness goals
• Training frequency and equipment access
• Strength level
• Sleep habits and wake times
• Dietary preferences
• Work schedule and sitting hours
• Existing injuries or physical limitations
• Biological sex (used for personalisation only)

Daily check-in data

Each time you use the app, the following data is stored locally:

• Sleep duration and quality ratings
• CNS fatigue ratings
• Sore muscle selections
• Completed habits
• Joint injury logs
• Hydration tracking

Information we do NOT collect

Apex Health does not collect, transmit, or store:

• Your name or personal details on any server
• Your location (the circadian timing feature uses your device's timezone and a public weather API with no identifying information)
• Analytics, usage data, or crash reports (none are configured)
• Device identifiers
• Payment information (handled entirely by Apple App Store or Google Play)

2. How We Store Your Data

All health and personal profile data is stored encrypted on your device using Expo SecureStore, which uses iOS Keychain on iPhone and Android Keystore on Android devices. These are hardware-backed secure enclaves, the strongest available storage on each platform.

Non-sensitive app preferences (theme, notification settings) are stored in standard local storage (AsyncStorage) on your device.

We do not operate servers that store your personal data. There is no Apex Health database of users.

3. Third-Party Services

Apex Health uses the following third-party services:

• Open-Meteo API : A free, open-source weather API used to fetch your local sunrise and sunset times. We send your approximate timezone only. No personal data is transmitted. See their privacy policy at open-meteo.com.
• Apple App Store / Google Play : Subscription billing is handled entirely by Apple or Google. We never see your payment details. Subject to their respective privacy policies.
• Apple Push Notifications : If you enable local notifications, these are scheduled on your device by iOS only. No data leaves your device.

We do not use advertising networks, analytics platforms, tracking SDKs, or any other third-party data services.

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, trade, or share your personal or health data with any third party. Period.

5. Your Rights

You have full control over your data at all times:

• Access : All your data is visible within the app.
• Correction : Update your profile at any time via Settings.
• Deletion : Go to Settings → Delete My Data & Reset. This permanently and immediately deletes all your data from the device, including all encrypted SecureStore entries. This action cannot be undone.
• Portability : Use Settings → Export My Data to download a JSON summary of your profile data.

6. Children's Privacy

Apex Health is intended for users aged 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has used the app, please contact us at privacy@apexhealth.app and we will assist in deleting any data.

7. Changes to This Policy

If we make material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
