Vivora — Privacy Policy

Effective 9 July 2026 · Last updated 9 July 2026

The short version. Vivora is built to keep your data yours. Your health and personal information stays on your device and in your own iCloud account. We don't run ads, we use no analytics or tracking SDKs, and we don't have a server that collects your data. The only time your information leaves your device is when you use an optional AI feature — then only the specific content you're analysing is sent to our AI provider to produce the result.

This policy explains what Vivora ("the app", "we") does with your information. Vivora is provided by Patrick Funk. Questions: pkfk@me.com.

1. Who we are

Data controller: Patrick Funk. Contact: pkfk@me.com. Vivora is an iOS health-and-wellbeing app.

2. Health & fitness data (Apple Health / HealthKit)

With your explicit permission, Vivora reads health and fitness data from Apple Health to show you insights, and writes a limited set of entries back when you ask it to. This data is read live from Apple Health when a screen needs it — Vivora does not copy your Apple Health history into its own database.

Read (only what you grant): steps, active & resting energy, distance, flights climbed, exercise/stand time, workouts and routes, heart rate, heart-rate variability, resting & walking heart rate, cardio fitness (VO₂max), ECG and heart-rhythm notifications, respiratory rate, blood oxygen, body & wrist temperature, sleep, mobility metrics (walking steadiness, gait, stair speed, six-minute walk, falls), weight, body fat, height, nutrition, water, and — only if you opt in — cycle-tracking data.

Write (only when you enter it): weight, body fat, height, blood pressure, dietary energy and water, workouts, mindful minutes, and sleep.

In line with Apple's rules, health data is never used for advertising or marketing and is never shared with anyone without your consent. You can review or revoke Vivora's access any time in Settings → Health → Data Access & Devices.

3. Information you enter

Vivora stores what you log and set up: your profile (date of birth, sex, height, weight, goals), food and drink logs, body measurements, custom drinks, recipes and saved meals, and any photos you take (food, drinks, progress photos). This is stored on your device and in your own iCloud (see §6).

4. Device permissions

Each permission is requested only when its feature is first used, and every one is optional.

5. AI features & third parties

Some features use AI and public food databases. These are the only times your information is sent off your device:

Vivora contains no advertising, no analytics SDKs, and no third-party trackers.

6. Where your data lives & how it's protected

Aside from the optional AI processing in §5, Vivora has no back-end server that collects or stores your personal data.

7. Subscriptions (Vivora Pro)

Vivora Pro is sold through Apple's App Store. Apple processes the payment and manages the subscription — we never see or store your card or payment details. Vivora keeps only a small on-device record of whether a Pro subscription is active. Purchases are subject to Apple's standard terms and Apple's privacy policy.

8. Keeping, exporting & deleting your data

9. Your rights

Because your information lives on your own device and in your own iCloud, you already control the vast majority of it directly. Under the GDPR and similar laws you also have the right to access, correct, export, restrict, or delete your personal data, and to withdraw consent. For anything you can't do in the app, contact pkfk@me.com. You may also complain to your local data-protection authority.

10. Children

Vivora is not directed at children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect their data. If you believe a child has used the app, contact us and we'll assist.

11. International processing

If you use an AI feature (§5), the content is processed by Anthropic, which may operate servers outside your country (including the United States), under the safeguards in Anthropic's privacy policy. All other data stays on your device and in your own iCloud.

12. Changes to this policy

If we change this policy we'll update the date above and note any significant change in the app. Continued use after a change means you accept the updated policy.
