Privacy Policy

Aplomb is a nutrition and wellbeing tracker for people on GLP-1 medications. This policy explains what the app collects, what stays on your device, and the few things that are processed by our servers. We built Aplomb to be private by default, and we keep this short and plain on purpose.

The short version

Your health entries (food, protein, weight, symptoms, hydration, and doses) stay on your device and sync only to your own private iCloud.
We don't run ads, we don't use third-party tracking or analytics SDKs, and we don't sell your data.
There is no account and no login. We never see your name or email unless you write to us.
A few features send data to our own server to do their job: food search, barcode lookup, and optional meal-photo estimation. Details below.

What stays on your device

Everything you log lives in the app's local database on your device: meals and nutrition, protein and calorie totals, weight, side-effect check-ins, hydration, and dose history. If you enable iCloud sync, this data is copied to your personal private iCloud database so it's available on your other devices. It is governed by Apple's privacy policy and is not accessible to us.

What our servers process

Some features call our own server (the Aplomb API at useaplomb.com) to work. We use these requests only to return a result, and we don't link them to your identity. There is no account system.

Food search & barcode lookup. When you search for a food or scan a barcode, the search term or barcode is sent to our server, which queries public nutrition databases (such as USDA FoodData Central and Open Food Facts) and returns the match.
Meal-photo estimation (optional). If you estimate a meal from a photo, that image is sent to our server and a vision model to estimate its nutrition. The photo is used to generate the estimate and is not used to build a profile of you.

These requests are authenticated with an app-level token from the App Store to confirm the request comes from a genuine copy of the app. They do not identify you personally.

Subscriptions

Aplomb Pro is sold as an auto-renewing subscription through the App Store. Purchases and subscription status are handled by Apple via StoreKit. We receive only what's needed to unlock Pro features. We never see your payment details. See Terms of Service for subscription terms.

What we don't collect

No advertising identifier (IDFA) and no ad networks.
No third-party analytics or crash-tracking SDKs.
No contacts, no location, no browsing history.
No account, so no name, email, or password, unless you choose to email us.

Sharing

We do not sell your data and we do not share it for advertising. The only third parties involved are the infrastructure and data sources that make a feature work (for example, the public nutrition databases above and the vision provider for photo estimation), and Apple for iCloud sync and subscriptions.

Your choices

You can turn iCloud sync on or off in the app and in your device's iCloud settings.
You can delete any entry in the app, or remove all data by deleting the app.
Meal-photo estimation is optional. The app works with search, barcode, and manual entry if you never use it.

Children

Aplomb is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from them.

Changes

If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top and, for material changes, note it in the app.
