Thank you for using CtrlWater ("we", "our", or "us"). We care deeply about your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how CtrlWater handles your data. The CtrlWater app is a water-tracking tool that works entirely offline on your device. We do not collect, store, share, or sell your personal data. This document outlines our practices and your rights.
No Permissions Required
CtrlWater does not request or require access to any device permissions, including location, contacts, storage, or health data. All hydration tracking is processed locally on your device, ensuring your information stays private.
Local Data Processing Only
All water intake logs, reminders, and hydration statistics are stored only on your device. CtrlWater does not send any of this data to external servers. This local-only approach is designed to protect your personal information by default.
No Personal Data Collected
We do not collect or store:
Your name, email, phone number, or other identifiers
Health data, including hydration levels or medical information
Water intake history or app usage logs
All information remains securely on your device and is only accessible by you.
Health and Sensitive Data
We do not collect or transmit any health-related data. CtrlWater is not intended for medical use and only provides hydration reminders and simple local tracking for personal wellness purposes.
Use of Third-Party Services
Although CtrlWater itself does not collect or send user data, we may integrate third-party tools for non-personal functionality:
Attribution Services (e.g., AppsFlyer): Helps us understand how users discover CtrlWater.
Analytics Platforms (e.g., Firebase Analytics): May be used to gather aggregated usage statistics (e.g., app crashes, screen load times).
Crash Reporting Tools (e.g., Firebase Crashlytics): Help identify bugs and improve app stability.
None of these services receive access to your water intake logs or any personal data stored in the app.

Your Data Rights
While CtrlWater does not collect or store personal data, we still acknowledge and support your rights under applicable laws like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA):
a. Right to Access
You may request information about any data we hold about you — though CtrlWater collects none.
b. Right to Correction
You may request corrections to inaccurate or incomplete personal data. Since no data is stored, this right is not applicable.
c. Right to Deletion
You may delete all local app data by uninstalling CtrlWater from your device. We do not store any external backups or cloud data.
d. Right to Know About Data Sharing
We do not share your data with any third parties.
e. Right to Know About Data Sales
We do not and will never sell your personal data.
f. Right to Opt-Out
If analytics tools are introduced in future versions, you will be able to opt out via in-app settings or your device settings.
g. Right to Complain
You have the right to file a complaint with your local data protection authority if you believe your privacy rights have been violated.
Data Retention
CtrlWater does not collect or retain any personal data. Any hydration data is stored only on your device and deleted when you uninstall the app.
Legal Basis for Processing
Since we do not process any personal data, no legal basis is required at this time. If in the future we begin processing data, the lawful bases will include:
Your explicit consent, or
Legitimate interest, such as analytics for performance improvement (with anonymized data only)
Policy Updates
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. We will notify you of material changes via the app or our website. Continued use of CtrlWater indicates acceptance of any changes.
