This privacy notice for IRL Health Bar, developed by Zachary Bryce Ellis as a sole proprietor ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"), describes how and why we might collect, store, use, and/or share ("process") your information when you use our services ("Services"), such as when you:
Download and use our mobile application (IRL Health Bar)
Sign in with Apple ID to sync your health data
Connect your data to external monitoring dashboards through our web services
Access any related domains or services we may operate in the future
Engage with us in other related ways
Questions or concerns? Reading this privacy notice will help you understand your privacy rights and choices. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, please do not use our Services. If you still have any questions or concerns, please contact us at bryce@staminabar.app.
What personal information do we process? When you use our Services, we may process health data and authentication information depending on how you interact with IRL Health Bar and the features you use.
Do we process any sensitive personal information? We process health data (heart rate, heart rate variability, steps, calories, VO2 max, respiratory rate, and others) when you grant permission through Apple's HealthKit framework.
Do we receive any information from third parties? We receive authentication tokens from Apple when you sign in with Apple ID. We do not receive information from other third parties.
How do we process your information? We process your information to provide health monitoring services, sync data across devices, enable dashboard connectivity for authorized users, and improve our Services.
Do we share personal information? We do not sell or share your personal information with third parties. Health data is transmitted using anonymous identifiers that cannot be linked back to your personal identity.
How do we keep your information safe? We implement appropriate security measures and use anonymous UUID systems to protect your health data from being linked to your personal identity.
What are your rights? You have rights regarding your personal information, including the ability to access, update, or delete your data. You can also revoke health data permissions through your device settings.
In Short: We collect personal information that you provide to us through Apple Sign In and health data permissions.
Authentication Information: When you sign in with Apple ID, we receive:
Anonymous user identifier (not your actual Apple ID)
Email address (if you choose to share it)
Display name (if you choose to share it)
Health Data: With your explicit permission through Apple's HealthKit framework, we may collect health metrics you choose to share.
All health data collection and processing occurs through Apple's HealthKit framework, which provides industry-leading security and privacy protections:
Apple's Encrypted Storage: Your raw health data is stored securely on your device using Apple's encryption standards.
Permission-Based Access: We can only access health data you explicitly grant permission for.
No Raw Data Transmission: We never transmit your actual health measurements to our servers.
Proprietary Aggregation: Your health data is processed using our proprietary algorithms to calculate a single aggregated wellness score.
Trade Secret Protection: The specific methods we use to convert your health metrics into wellness scores are confidential and not shared with any third parties.
Anonymous Results Only: Only the final calculated score (not your underlying health data) is transmitted for dashboard features.
This means that while you may see your heart rate, HRV, and other metrics in the app, external dashboard users only see an aggregated wellness percentage — never your actual health measurements.
This information is used to provide core health monitoring functionality, sync data across your devices, and enable optional dashboard connectivity features.
In Short: We process your information to provide health monitoring services, enable data synchronization, and facilitate dashboard access for authorized users.
We process your information for the following purposes:
Core Health Monitoring:
Calculate and display your health bar score
Track health trends over time
Provide personalized health insights
Store data locally on your device
Data Synchronization:
Sync your health data across your devices when signed in
Maintain consistent app settings and preferences
Enable seamless experience across app updates
Dashboard Connectivity:
Generate anonymous identifiers for dashboard connections
Transmit health data to authorized monitoring services
Manage subscription tiers and access levels
Process real-time data updates based on your subscription
We use anonymous analytics tools to help us understand how the app is used. This includes tracking active users, feature usage, and app pages visited.
What is collected: Only general usage data such as which parts of the app are accessed and how often.
What is not collected: Your personal health data (such as heart rate, HRV, or any HealthKit metrics) is nevertracked or included in analytics.
This limited analytics information is used solely to improve the app’s functionality, usability, and user experience.
HealthKit Framework Protection
All health data processing is governed by Apple's HealthKit framework, which provides:
Device-Level Encryption: All health data is encrypted and stored securely on your device.
App Sandbox Security: Our app operates within Apple's security sandbox, preventing unauthorized access.
Permission Controls: You maintain complete control over which health data types we can access.
Protect Raw Data: Your actual health measurements never leave your device in their raw form.
What Gets Shared vs. What Stays Private
Stays on Your Device: All raw health data (actual heart rates, HRV readings, step counts, etc.).
Shared for Dashboard Features: Only aggregated wellness scores (e.g., "78% health bar").
Anonymous Transmission: Wellness scores are transmitted using anonymous UUIDs that cannot be traced to your identity.
This multi-layered approach ensures that your sensitive health information remains private while still enabling the app's core functionality and optional dashboard features.
Apple HealthKit Security Foundation: Our app is built on Apple's HealthKit framework, which provides military-grade security for health data.
Explicit Permissions: We cannot access health data without your explicit permission for each data type.
Anonymous Data Transmission: When you connect to external dashboards, your raw health measurements never leave your device. Instead:
Our proprietary algorithms calculate a single wellness score from your health data.
Only this aggregated score (e.g., "78% health bar") is transmitted.
No Personal Data Sales: We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information or health data to any third parties.
Minimal Data Collection: We only collect data necessary for app functionality and explicitly requested features.
Local Storage Priority: Health data is primarily stored locally on your device using Apple's encrypted storage, with optional anonymous sync only when you explicitly enable it.
Trade Secret Protection: Our health data processing algorithms are proprietary and confidential, ensuring that even if someone attempted to reverse-engineer our wellness scores, they could not determine your actual health measurements.

Welcome to IRL Health Bar ("we," "us," "our"). These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the IRL Health Bar mobile app, Apple Watch app, public API, and any integrations including our Zoom App, Roku channel, and embeddable widget (collectively, the "Service"). By using the Service, you agree to these Terms.
1. Description of the Service
IRL Health Bar aggregates fitness and activity data from your Apple Watch, HealthKit, or connected third-party health trackers into a single "stamina score." You may generate a temporary, time-limited share code to display your stamina score to others through supported integrations (including Zoom, Roku, OBS, or embeddable widgets on third-party websites).
2. Eligibility and Accounts
You must be able to form a binding contract to use the Service. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account, including any credentials used to sign in (such as Sign in with Apple), and for all activity that occurs under your account.
3. Share Codes
Share codes are ephemeral, expiring approximately 24 hours after generation. Anyone with a valid share code can view the associated stamina score for as long as that code remains valid — this is the intended sharing mechanism, similar to sharing a location link. You are solely responsible for who you share your code with. We are not responsible for any consequences of a share code being distributed beyond your intended audience.
4. Not Medical Advice
IRL Health Bar is a fitness and activity gamification tool, not a medical device. Your stamina score is derived from general activity and fitness data and is not a diagnosis, medical assessment, or substitute for professional medical advice. Do not use the Service to make medical decisions. Consult a qualified healthcare provider for any health concerns.
5. Acceptable Use
You agree not to:
Use the Service to harass, impersonate, or deceive others
Attempt to access another user's data without authorization
Reverse-engineer, scrape at scale beyond documented rate limits, or interfere with the Service's operation
Use the public API or embeddable integrations for any unlawful purpose
6. Third-Party Integrations
The Service integrates with third-party platforms including Apple HealthKit, Zoom, Roku, and OBS. Your use of those platforms is also governed by their own terms. We are not responsible for the availability, functionality, or policies of third-party platforms.
7. Intellectual Property
The Service, including its design, branding, and underlying software, is owned by us or our licensors. You retain ownership of your own health and activity data.
8. Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time for violation of these Terms. You may stop using the Service at any time; see our Privacy Policy for how to request data deletion.
9. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.
10. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
11. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
