SUMMARY OF KEY POINTS

• 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.

WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?

Personal information you disclose to us

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.

Important: HealthKit Security and Data Protection

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.

HOW DO WE PROCESS YOUR INFORMATION?

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

ANALYTICS

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.

DATA SECURITY AND AGGREGATION

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.

PRIVACY BY DESIGN

• 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.
