Privacy
Policy
Your personal health data is stored locally on your device by default. No accounts. No tracking. No ads. Data is only synced externally if you explicitly enable iCloud Sync.
Introduction
Welcome to Octilum. This Privacy Policy explains how Octilum ("we," "our," or "the App") handles information in connection with your use of our iOS application.
Octilum is designed with a privacy-first architecture. Your personal health and wellness data is stored locally on your device by default and is only synced to your personal iCloud account if you explicitly choose to enable iCloud Sync.
Developer: Dr. German Amaya, MD · Contact: privacy@octilum.com · Website: octilum.com
Data We Do Not Collect
Octilum does not collect, store, or transmit any of the following:
Data Stored Locally on Your Device
All health and wellness data you enter into Octilum is stored exclusively on your device using Apple's Core Data framework. This includes:
- Running logs and GPS route data (stored locally via MapKit — never transmitted)
- Sleep session records and sleep quality ratings
- Breathing and meditation session records
- Hydration (water intake) logs
- Nutrition logs and calorie tracking
- Workout logs including exercises, sets, reps, and weight
- Bodyweight records
This data is protected by iOS device encryption and your device passcode or Face ID authentication.
Apple HealthKit Integration
Octilum integrates with Apple HealthKit to optionally import health data recorded by your Apple Watch or iPhone.
Data Read from HealthKit
- Running distance (walking/running distance recorded by Apple Watch)
- Sleep duration and sleep analysis data
How HealthKit Data Is Used
- HealthKit data is accessed only upon your explicit confirmation
- Used solely to pre-populate your activity logs within Octilum
- Never shared with third parties or used for advertising
- Never stored on external servers
You may revoke HealthKit access at any time via iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Health.
iCloud Sync (Optional)
Octilum offers an optional iCloud Sync feature that allows your data to be synchronized across your Apple devices using Apple's CloudKit infrastructure.
- iCloud Sync is disabled by default
- You must explicitly enable it in Settings → Data & Security
- When enabled, your data is encrypted and stored in your personal iCloud account
- Governed by Apple's iCloud Privacy Policy — not accessible to us
- Can be disabled at any time from within the app
We do not have access to your iCloud data. Data stored in iCloud is managed by Apple under your Apple ID, governed exclusively by Apple's iCloud Privacy Policy.
Firebase Services
Octilum uses Google Firebase exclusively for app content delivery — not for user data collection.
Octilum does not use Firebase Analytics, Firebase Crashlytics, or any Firebase service that collects personal data or behavioral analytics.
Device Authentication
Octilum uses Apple's Face ID and device passcode authentication (LocalAuthentication framework) to protect access to the app. This authentication is processed entirely on your device by iOS.
Octilum never receives, stores, or transmits your biometric data.
Subscriptions and Payments
Octilum offers premium access through auto-renewing subscriptions processed entirely by Apple's App Store. We do not collect or store any payment or financial information.
- Monthly and annual subscriptions processed exclusively by Apple
- 14-day free trial managed in accordance with App Store policies
For billing inquiries, refunds, or subscription management, visit your Apple ID account settings or contact Apple Support directly.
Children's Privacy
Octilum is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the app, please contact us at privacy@octilum.com.
Data Retention and Deletion
Since all personal health data is stored locally on your device, you have full control at all times.
- Delete individual entries from within the app at any time
- Deleting the Octilum app removes all locally stored data
- If iCloud Sync is enabled, existing iCloud data can be deleted via iOS Settings → Apple ID → iCloud → Manage Account Storage
Your Privacy Rights
Because Octilum does not collect personal data on external servers, there is no personal profile associated with you that we hold. You retain full ownership and control of your data at all times.
For any privacy-related questions or concerns, contact us at privacy@octilum.com.
Data Security
We implement appropriate technical measures to protect your data, including reliance on Apple's secure frameworks and device-level encryption. All health data stored locally on your device is protected by iOS encryption, accessible only through your device passcode or Face ID.
We do not create user profiles or track user behavior across apps or services. Octilum has no visibility into how you use the app beyond what you explicitly log.
