Privacy Policy

Glød is a science-backed glow-up coaching app for adults (18+). We built it to keep your personal information private by default — most of what you do never leaves your phone. This policy explains what we collect, what we don't, and the choices you have.

What stays on your device

The following are stored locally on your device and are not uploaded to us:

• Your plan, goals, habits, weekly check-ins, and streaks.
• Your progress selfies and skin-tracking photos.
• Your questions to the on-device AI coach ("Gemma"), which runs entirely offline on your phone.
• Health-related answers, including any eligibility questions.

What is processed off-device

• Aging-preview photos. Only if you choose to generate an AI "future self" preview, the photo you select is sent to our image provider (OpenAI) to create that image. It is used to produce your preview and is not stored by the Glød app. Previews are illustrative estimates, not predictions or medical assessments.
• Account email (Pro). If you log in to unlock Pro, we use your email address to authenticate your account and confirm subscription status. Subscriptions are sold and managed on our website.
• Anonymous usage analytics. We collect anonymous, aggregated event counts (for example, which screens are opened) through our analytics provider (PostHog) to improve the app. These never include your goals, check-ins, notes, coach prompts, health data, or photos.
• Crash & error reports. If the app crashes or hits an error, we may collect a diagnostic report (such as the error and device/OS type) through our error-reporting provider (Sentry) to fix bugs. We configure it not to send personal identifiers, your content, health data, or photos.

Service providers

We share the limited data described above only with providers that process it on our behalf to run the Service, under their own terms and privacy policies: OpenAI (only the photo you choose to generate an aging preview from), Stripe (subscription billing, on our website), PostHog (anonymous analytics), and Sentry (crash/error diagnostics). We do not sell your personal information.

Apple Health (optional)

If you choose to connect Apple Health, Glød requests read-only access to a limited set of data — steps, sleep, and workouts — for one purpose: to automatically check off the matching daily habits you've chosen, so you don't have to log something your phone or watch already recorded. This data is:

• Read on your device only and used solely to mark habits complete. It is never uploaded to our servers, sold, or shared with any third party.
• Never used for advertising or marketing.
• Not stored by Glød beyond your device's own Apple Health store — we keep no copy. Disconnecting (in the app, or in iOS Settings › Health › Data Access) simply stops the reads.

Data that other devices sync into Apple Health (for example Apple Watch, Garmin, or Oura) is treated exactly the same way.

What we never do

• We never sell your personal data, health information, or photos.
• We never upload your progress photos or Apple Health data to our servers.
• We never use Apple Health data for advertising or marketing.
• We don't use your private data to train models.

Your choices & rights

• Delete everything. In the app, go to the You tab → Account → Delete account & data. This erases your on-device data and deletes your account record on our server. It cannot be undone.
• Log out at any time without deleting your data.
• Access / correction. To request a copy of, or corrections to, any account data we hold, email us (below).

Subscriptions

If you subscribe to Pro, billing is handled by our payment processor (Stripe) on our website. Deleting your account in the app removes your account data; to stop billing, cancel your subscription where you purchased it.

Children

Glød is intended for adults 18 and older and is not directed to children.

Changes

We may update this policy as the app evolves. Material changes will be reflected here with a new "last updated" date.
