Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 14, 2026

TL;DR: Vessel does not collect any personal data. Everything stays on your device. No accounts, no analytics, no tracking, no ads. Ever.

1. Data We Collect

None. Vessel does not collect, transmit, or store any of your personal data on remote servers. We have no user accounts, no login, and no backend infrastructure.

2. Data Stored on Your Device

All data you enter into Vessel is stored locally on your iPhone using Apple's SwiftData framework:

This data never leaves your device. If you delete the app, all data is permanently removed.

3. Apple Health (HealthKit)

Vessel offers optional integration with Apple Health. If you enable this in Settings:

Vessel never reads HealthKit data for any purpose other than displaying your own intake within the app.

4. Notifications

If you enable hydration reminders, Vessel uses Apple's local notification system to send you reminders on your chosen schedule. No notification data is sent to our servers because we don't have any servers.

5. Third-Party Services

Vessel does not integrate with any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services. The app makes no network requests.

6. Children's Privacy

Vessel is not directed at children under 13. Because we collect no data, no child data could ever be collected or processed.

7. Your Rights

Since we collect no data, there is nothing for us to export, delete, or correct on our end. All control over your data lives in your device:

8. Changes to This Policy

If we ever change how the app handles data, we'll update this policy and note the change at the top.
