Welcome to TapWater. We are committed to protecting your privacy. Our philosophy is simple: you own your data, and it should stay with you.
Data Privacy: Your Data is Your Own
Local-First Data Storage
All data you create in TapWater, including your drink entries, daily goals, and beverage preferences, is stored exclusively on your device in a private, sandboxed location.
- The data never leaves your device.
- We, the developers of TapWater, do not have access to it.
- We do not transmit it to our servers or any third-party servers.
- If you delete the app from your device, all your data is permanently deleted along with it.
This means your hydration data is completely private and under your control.
Delete Account / Data Deletion
You can delete all your data at any time using the "Delete All Data" option in Settings. This will permanently erase:
- All drink entries and history
- Daily goals and preferences
- App settings
Important: Because all data is stored locally on your device with no cloud backup, deleted data cannot be recovered. There is no way for us to restore your entries, goals, or history once deleted. Please use this feature with caution.
Information We Do Not Collect
TapWater does not collect any personal information, such as your name, email address, or location. We do not use any analytics services to track your usage patterns.
Third-Party Services & In-App Purchases
The only third-party service we use is RevenueCat to manage the optional "Pro" one-time purchase and "Insights" subscription. When you consider a purchase, RevenueCat may collect an anonymous user ID to manage your purchase status and validate transactions with the App Store. We do not receive any personally identifiable information from this process. For more details, please see the RevenueCat privacy policy.
Children's Privacy
Our Service does not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
