Privacy Policy

Data we collect

We don’t collect your drink diary, profile, health data, or settings as data stored on our own systems for ordinary tracking—they stay on your device and in your iCloud. When you use optional online features (such as smart drink recognition or in-app purchases), limited information is processed over secure connections so those features can work. Third-party services in the app may collect additional technical data as described below.

Data stored on your device

The app stores data locally on your iPhone or iPad, including:

• Your profile (e.g. sex, weight) and settings
• Drink entries (what you drank, when, amount and strength)
• Your risk limits and any drinking targets you set
• Apple Health sync data (if enabled): drink count, BAC levels, and calorie data synced to your Apple Health app

This on-device data powers tracking, statistics, low-risk limits, sober streaks, and Apple Health. Those core features do not send your diary or profile to us.

iCloud

Your app data is stored in your personal iCloud account and may sync across your own devices. That data is subject to Apple's Privacy Policy. We do not have access to it.

Analytics and crash reporting

DrinkAware uses Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics, provided by Google. Firebase Analytics collects anonymous usage data such as app opens, session duration, and general interaction patterns. Firebase Crashlytics collects crash reports, including device model, OS version, and app state at the time of a crash. This data helps us improve app stability and understand how the app is used. It does not include your personal drink data, profile, or health information. You can learn more in Firebase's Privacy Policy.

Advertising and tracking

DrinkAware is free to use and supported by ads served through Google AdMob. Ads are shown to non-premium users. When you first open the app, you are asked whether to allow tracking via Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT) prompt. If you allow tracking, your advertising identifier (IDFA) is shared with Google AdMob to serve personalized ads. If you decline, ads are still shown but are not personalized. Google AdMob may also collect device identifiers, IP address, and ad interaction data. This data is collected and processed by Google, not by us. You can learn more in Google's Privacy Policy and How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services. Premium subscribers can remove all ads through an in-app subscription. In-app purchases are processed by Apple.
