Flushy Privacy Policy

Effective date: October 2, 2026

Overview

Flushy ("the App") is a personal gut health tracking application developed by Flushy ("we", "us", or "our"). Your privacy is fundamental to how Flushy is designed and built. This policy explains how the App handles your information.

Information We Do Not Collect

Flushy is designed with a strict local-first approach. The App does not collect any personal data whatsoever. Specifically:

• The App does not collect personal information (name, email, phone number, address). For what your app store shares with us when you buy something, see Purchases
• We do not require account creation, login, or registration
• We do not use analytics, tracking, or advertising SDKs
• The App does not send your data over the internet. The only outside service it talks to is your app store, to process and check purchases
• The App does not use cookies, pixels, or similar tracking technologies
• We do not share, sell, or disclose your data to third parties
• We do not access your device's health platforms (Apple Health, Google Health Connect)
• The App does not collect device identifiers, IP addresses, or usage statistics

Data Stored on Your Device

All health-related data you enter into Flushy — including stool type, color, tags, timestamps, and your profile preferences — is stored exclusively on your device using local storage (AsyncStorage). This data:

• Never leaves your device unless you explicitly choose to export it
• Is protected by your device's own security measures (passcode, biometrics, encryption)
• Persists between app sessions
• Is deleted if you uninstall the App or use the in-app reset feature

Backup and Data Export

Flushy offers optional features to export and back up your data:

• Backup/Restore: You can create a JSON backup file of your data and save it using your device's native sharing capabilities (e.g., saving to iCloud Files, Google Drive, or sending via email). This process is entirely initiated and controlled by you. We do not retain, access, or transmit copies of your backup files. A backup also notes whether you bought Flushy while it was a paid download, so restoring it on a new phone keeps Flushy Pro.
• PDF Health Report: You can generate a PDF report of your health data for personal use or to share with a healthcare provider. The report is created locally on your device.

Notifications

Flushy may request permission to send local notifications if you enable daily reminders. These notifications are:

• Scheduled and delivered entirely on your device
• Not connected to any external notification service or push server
• Fully optional and can be disabled at any time in the App's settings or your device's notification settings

Purchases

Depending on the store, Flushy is a paid download or a free download with Flushy Pro, an optional one-time in-app purchase. Either way:

• Payment: The store you buy from (Google Play or the Amazon Appstore) processes the payment under its own terms and privacy policy. We never see or store your card or other payment details.
• Checking your purchase: To know whether you own Flushy Pro, the App asks the store on your device and keeps the answer there. No health data is involved, and nothing is sent to us.
• Free trial: To run the Flushy Pro trial, the App reads the date it was installed from your device. That date stays on your device.
• Order records: For each purchase, the store gives developers an order record, such as the order number, date, product, price, and country. Depending on the store, it may also include the email address of the account that made the purchase. We use these records only to process refunds, answer support requests, and meet tax and accounting obligations. We never combine them with your health data, which we don't have.

Third-Party Services

Apart from your app store, which processes purchases (see Purchases), Flushy does not integrate with or send data to any third-party services, including but not limited to analytics platforms, advertising networks, crash reporting tools, or social media services.

Children's Privacy

Flushy does not knowingly collect information from children under 13 (or the applicable age in your jurisdiction). Since the App does not collect any personal information from any user regardless of age, there is no risk of children's data being collected or processed.

Your Rights

Since we do not collect or store any of your data on our servers, traditional data subject rights (access, deletion, portability) are handled directly on your device. You can:

• View all your data within the App at any time
• Export your data using the backup feature
• Delete all your data using the in-app "Reset App Data" feature
• Uninstall the App to remove all associated data from your device

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated effective date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
