Consumer health data policy
Mood check-ins count as health data under Washington's law, so this page covers them on their own.
Effective date: [to be filled in]
Operated by [to be filled in] (legal entity), [to be filled in] (address). Contact: help@dewcup.app.
The consumer health data we collect
- Your daily mood rating and its time.
- Tags for what was going on, including ones about sleep, your body, a partner or an argument, and tags you write.
- Notes and voice notes (turned into text on your phone).
- Your chats with Sprout, and the short list Sprout remembers.
- Sleep and steps from Apple Health or Health Connect, if you connect them.
We don't collect your location or your contacts. We never ask about medication. A tag that names a medicine is left out of every pattern, report and reply.
Why we collect it
- To save your check-ins and show your calendar.
- To count your patterns and write your weekly report.
- To suggest one idea a day, and to let Sprout reply to you.
- To count, across all users and inside our own database, whether the app is working. Nothing about one person leaves the database.
Where it comes from
It comes from you, from what you type, tap or say, and from Apple Health or Health Connect if you connect them.
Who we share it with
We share consumer health data only with processors that help us run Dewcup. We sell none of it.
| Who | What | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Google Cloud (US region) | Synced check-ins, tags, notes and chat history. | Hosting, backup and sync. |
| Anthropic, the AI provider | Chat text, notes and computed statistics, only if you allow it. | Sprout's replies and your weekly summary. |
| RevenueCat | An anonymous user ID and purchase history. No health data. | Subscription status. |
| Sentry | Crash reports with personal data switched off. | Fixing bugs. |
Health data never goes to iCloud. No mood, tag or note data goes to analytics, and Dewcup has no ad or attribution software.
Your consent
- At sign-in, a screen asks for your consent to collect your health data.
- A separate screen asks before notes and chat go to the AI provider. Say no and the app still works, with template sentences in place of AI ones.
- You can withdraw consent at any time in Settings, or by email.
Your rights
- Know: ask us to confirm we're collecting your health data, and to see it.
- Export: download your history from Settings at any time.
- Withdraw consent: in Settings, or by email.
- Delete: in the app or by email. We delete it from our servers and our backups within 45 days, and tell our processors to do the same. The steps
- Appeal a decision about a request: [to be filled in]
To use any of these, email help@dewcup.app or use Settings in the app.
