SipStreak Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 13, 2026

Overview

SipStreak ("the app") is a minimal, gamified water intake tracker for iOS. It helps you log daily water consumption, maintain hydration streaks, and track progress toward a personalized daily goal. SipStreak stores hydration data, reminder settings, glass presets, widget state, and preferences on your device. SipStreak is free with no ads and no tracking. This policy explains what data SipStreak accesses, what stays on-device, and what platform services are involved.

SipStreak is developed and operated by TheChosenVictor LLC ("we," "us," "our"). Victor Solano owns TheChosenVictor LLC.

Data We Access

HealthKit (opt-in)

When you enable HealthKit integration in Settings, the app reads body mass (to suggest a daily goal) and writes dietary water intake entries to Apple Health. HealthKit access is entirely opt-in. If you decline or never enable it, the app functions fully without it. No health data leaves your device or is sent to any server.

In-App Purchases

SipStreak offers a one-time, non-consumable purchase ("SipStreak Pro") that unlocks four premium themes, custom glass sizes, fine-grained reminder intervals, insights and charts, CSV export, and streak insurance. Purchases are processed entirely through Apple's StoreKit 2 framework. We do not handle or store payment information.

Notifications (opt-in)

When you enable hydration reminders in Settings, the app schedules local notifications at your chosen interval with configurable quiet hours. These are local-only. There is no push notification server, and no notification data is sent externally.

Advertising and Tracking

SipStreak does not show advertising of any kind. It does not include analytics SDKs, third-party advertising SDKs, consent SDKs, or a system tracking prompt.

Water entries, streak history, HealthKit data, reminder settings, daily goals, weight, activity level, glass presets, and theme choices are not sold, shared with advertisers, or used for cross-app tracking.

Data We Store On Device

SipStreak stores the following data locally on your device:

• SwiftData: Water entries (amount, glass size, timestamp), streak records (daily totals, goal status, streak counts), user profile (weight, activity level, daily goal, unit preference), and glass presets (named sizes with icons).
• UserDefaults: Theme selection, unit preference, reminder settings, quiet hours, HealthKit toggle state, and onboarding completion flag.
• App Group UserDefaults: Widget data (today's intake, daily goal, streak count, theme) shared between the main app and the WidgetKit extension via the shared group group.com.sipstreak.shared.

None of this app data is synced to any cloud service or backend. There are no user accounts.

Website Support and Feedback

If you use the public website support form, we receive the app name, category, message, submission source, timestamp, and a one-way hash of your IP address. Your email address and device information are optional. The raw IP address is processed in memory for rate limiting and is not stored in the feedback record. The submission is stored in our support database and routed through Resend to the relevant support inbox. It does not include water entries, HealthKit data, streaks, or profile data unless you choose to type that information into the message.

Data We Do Not Collect Automatically

Outside information you choose to send through support, SipStreak does not collect, transmit, or store any of the following:

• Your name, email address, or phone number
• Your precise GPS location
• Contacts or calendar data
• Browsing history
• HealthKit data unless you explicitly enable HealthKit access
• App-owned analytics or usage telemetry
• Advertising identifiers or cross-app tracking data

Third-Party Services

Data Retention

• On-device SipStreak data is retained until you explicitly clear it within the app or uninstall the app.
• HealthKit data written to Apple Health is retained by Apple Health until you remove it there.
• StoreKit purchase records are retained by Apple per their policies.
• Support submissions remain in the support database until we delete them or you request deletion.

Data Deletion

You can delete all app data at any time:

• In-app: Open Settings and use the "Clear All Data" button in the Danger Zone section. This permanently removes all water entries, streak records, and user profile data.
• Uninstall: Removing SipStreak from your device deletes all locally stored data (SwiftData database and UserDefaults).
• HealthKit: Water intake entries written to Apple Health persist independently. To remove them, open the Apple Health app and delete the entries manually.

Your Rights

For All Users

You may:

• Access your data by viewing your water entries, streaks, and settings within the app.
• Delete your data at any time using Settings > Danger Zone > Clear All Data, which permanently removes all water entries, streak records, and user profile data from the device.
• Control HealthKit access at any time in iOS Settings > Privacy & Security > Health > SipStreak.

European Economic Area (GDPR)

If you are located in the EEA, you have the following rights under the General Data Protection Regulation:

• Right to access (Art. 15): request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Right to rectification (Art. 16): request correction of inaccurate data.
• Right to erasure (Art. 17): request deletion of your data ("right to be forgotten").
• Right to restrict processing (Art. 18): request that we limit how we use your data.
• Right to data portability (Art. 20): request a machine-readable copy of your data.
• Right to object (Art. 21): object to processing of your data for certain purposes.
• Right to withdraw consent (Art. 7): withdraw optional HealthKit or notification permissions at any time through iOS settings.

Since SipStreak stores app data locally on your device with no account or hydration-data backend, you already have direct control over your SipStreak data. Use Settings > Danger Zone > Clear All Data to exercise your right to erasure for local app data. HealthKit entries must be removed separately via the Apple Health app. Contact us to exercise rights related to a support submission.

TheChosenVictor LLC acts as the data controller for the SipStreak app. You may contact us at [email protected] for any GDPR-related requests.

Data Protection Contact: TheChosenVictor LLC handles privacy requests for this app. A separate Data Protection Officer is not designated for the scale and nature of the processing described here. For all data protection inquiries, contact [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days.

• Right to know: what personal information is collected and how it is used.
• Right to delete: request deletion of your personal information.
• Right to opt-out of sale/sharing: opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information.
