Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 23, 2026
Vinze Hydro ("App") is a hydration tracking app created by Vinze. We respect your privacy and want you to know how we handle your data.
What data we collect
The app stores locally on your device:
- Fluid intake entries (amount, drink type, date)
- App settings (daily goal, notification preferences)
Optionally, with your consent:
- Apple HealthKit data (weight, physical activity, water intake)
- Data synchronization via iCloud (across your devices)
- Camera photos for the AI Cup Scanner feature (processed via Google's Gemini API through Firebase AI — see below)
AI Cup Scanner
The app includes an optional AI-powered cup scanner that estimates the volume of a drinking vessel from a photo. When you use this feature:
- A photo you take is sent to Google's Gemini API (via Firebase AI) for analysis
- The photo is processed in real time and is not stored on any external server
- Google may process the image in accordance with their Privacy Policy
- The feature requires camera access, which you can revoke at any time in System Settings
- No photos are stored in the app or sent anywhere else
How we use data
Your data is used exclusively to:
- Track daily fluid intake
- Calculate recommended hydration goals
- Display statistics and history
- Send local water drinking reminders
- Estimate cup volume via AI (only when you use the scanner)
We do not sell, share, or transmit your personal data to third parties.
Apple HealthKit
If you enable Apple Health integration:
- We read: body weight, physical activity, water intake from other apps
- We write: your water intake to Apple Health
HealthKit data is not used for advertising or shared with third parties. HealthKit access can be revoked at any time in System Settings.
iCloud
If you enable iCloud synchronization:
- Hydration data is stored in your private iCloud container
- Only you have access to this data
- Synchronization happens automatically across your Apple devices
In-App Purchases
In-app purchases are handled by the Apple App Store. We do not have access to your payment information. Transaction information is stored by Apple in accordance with their privacy policy.
Data Storage
All data is stored locally on your device or in your private iCloud container. We do not operate any servers or databases that store your data.
You can delete all data at any time:
- In the app: Settings → Clear today's data
