Privacy Policy

Last Updated: November 06, 2025
Effective Date: November 06, 2025

Introduction

Rytmo ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application Rytmo (the "App"). Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. If you do not agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not access or use the App.

Information We Collect

Note: While the App processes and stores the information described below, we (the developers) do NOT have access to this data. All data remains on your device or in your personal iCloud account.

Information You Provide

The App stores information that you provide directly when using the App, including:

• Habit Data: Information about your habits, including habit titles, descriptions, notes, schedules, completion status, and streak counts
• Task Data: Daily task completion records, dates, and completion timestamps
• User Preferences: App settings such as week start day, notification preferences, and display preferences
• Premium Account Information: Subscription status, purchase history, and premium tier information (if applicable)

Information Collected Automatically

• Device Information: Basic device information necessary for app functionality (processed locally, not transmitted to us)
• Usage Data: Information about how you interact with the App (stored locally on your device only)
• Sync Data: Data synchronized across your devices via iCloud (stored in your personal iCloud account, which we cannot access)

Health Information (Optional)

If you choose to integrate with Apple Health (HealthKit), we may access the following health data types, only with your explicit permission:

• Step count
• Distance traveled
• Active energy (calories burned)
• Exercise minutes
• Other health metrics you explicitly authorize

Important: Health data integration is completely optional. You can use the App without granting any HealthKit permissions. Health data is only accessed when you explicitly link a habit to a health metric and grant permission.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide, maintain, and improve the App's functionality (all processing happens on your device)
• Sync your data across your devices via iCloud (handled by Apple, not by us)
• Generate statistics, insights, and weekly reports (calculated locally on your device)
• Process in-app purchases and manage premium subscriptions (handled by Apple StoreKit)
• Send you local notifications for habit reminders (if enabled, stored locally on your device)
• Provide customer support and respond to your inquiries (we do not access your data for support purposes)

Data Storage and Security

Local Storage

• Your habit and task data is stored locally on your device using SwiftData
• App preferences are stored locally using iOS UserDefaults
• All local data remains on your device unless you enable iCloud sync

iCloud Sync

• If you enable iCloud sync, your data is stored in your personal iCloud account using Apple's CloudKit service
• Data is encrypted in transit and at rest by Apple
• Your data is stored in Apple's iCloud infrastructure and is subject to Apple's iCloud Terms and Conditions
• We do NOT have access to your iCloud data - it is stored exclusively in your personal iCloud account, which we cannot access
• We do not operate any servers or databases that store your data
• All data synchronization happens directly between your devices through Apple's CloudKit service
• You can disable iCloud sync at any time through your device settings

Health Data

• Health data accessed through HealthKit is stored in Apple Health on your device
• We only read health data that you explicitly authorize
• We do not write health data to Apple Health
• Health data never leaves your device unless you have iCloud Health sync enabled (controlled by Apple, not by us)

Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do NOT sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We do NOT collect, store, or transmit your data to any servers under our control. We may share your information only in the following circumstances:

Apple Services

• iCloud/CloudKit: Your data may be synced via Apple's iCloud service, which is subject to Apple's Privacy Policy
• StoreKit: Purchase transactions are processed by Apple and subject to Apple's Privacy Policy
• HealthKit: Health data access is managed by Apple Health and subject to Apple's Privacy Policy

Legal Requirements

Since we do not have access to your data, we cannot disclose it even if legally required. If a legal authority requests access to your data, they would need to contact Apple directly (for iCloud data) or obtain access through your device (for local data), as we do not have the ability to access or provide your data.

Third-Party Services

The App uses the following Apple services:

• CloudKit: For data synchronization across your devices (optional)
• HealthKit: For optional health data integration (requires your permission)
• StoreKit: For in-app purchases and subscription management
• UserNotifications: For local habit reminders (requires your permission)

We do not use third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services.

Your Rights and Choices

Access and Control

You have the right to:

• Access Your Data: All your data is stored locally on your device and in your iCloud account (if enabled). You can access it directly through the App.
• Delete Your Data: You can delete individual habits, tasks, or all app data at any time through the App settings.
• Disable iCloud Sync: You can disable iCloud sync through your device's iCloud settings.
• Revoke Health Permissions: You can revoke HealthKit permissions at any time through your device's Privacy settings.
• Manage Notifications: You can enable or disable notifications through your device's Notification settings.

Data Deletion

To delete all your data:

1. Delete the App from your device (this removes local data)
2. If you have iCloud sync enabled, you may also need to delete the data from your iCloud account through iCloud settings

Premium Subscriptions

• You can manage or cancel your subscription through your Apple ID account settings
• Subscription data is managed by Apple and subject to Apple's terms

Children's Privacy

The App is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Since we do not have access to user data, any data entered by a child would be stored only on their device or in their iCloud account, which can be deleted through the App or device settings.

International Data Transfers

If you use iCloud sync, your data may be stored and processed in Apple's data centers, which may be located outside your country of residence. This is managed by Apple and subject to Apple's Privacy Policy and data processing agreements.

Data Retention

• Local Data: Data stored locally on your device remains until you delete the App or manually delete the data
• iCloud Data: Data stored in iCloud remains until you delete it or disable iCloud sync
• Health Data: Health data remains in Apple Health until you delete it through Apple Health settings

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
