PRIVACY POLICY

Water Reminder: Sip Companion

Last updated: October 26, 2026
Scope: The Water Reminder iOS app, beginning with version 1.2.0, while it follows the practices described below. Older releases and versions on other platforms may have different practices and notices.

1. WHO WE ARE

Water Reminder: Sip Companion is operated by Shenzhen Jianyue Life Technology Co., Ltd. (English rendering of the registered company name), trading as SimpleLife ("we", "us" or "our").

Registered address: Room 201F3, Haifa Building, No. 393 Jihua Road, Shuijing Community, Jihua Subdistrict, Longgang District, Shenzhen, Guangdong, China.
Privacy and support contact: simplelife1024@163.com

This policy explains how the app handles your drink and weight records, settings, permissions, purchases, analytics, website visits and support requests. You do not need to register a separate account with us. An Apple Account may be required for Apple's services, including purchases.

2. RECORDS AND SETTINGS ON YOUR DEVICE

You may enter drink types and names, amounts, dates and times, custom beverage information and hydration coefficients. You may also set a daily hydration goal, usual cup size, units, wake-up and bedtime, reminder times and weekdays, sounds and language preferences. Profile and weight features may use the sex or gender option, height, weight, activity level, target weight and weight entries you choose to provide.

The app uses these entries on your device to save and edit records, show progress, history and statistics, estimate hydration and BMI, configure reminders and support pet growth, tasks and rewards. Pet progress, task completion, sign-ins, rewards, onboarding choices and relevant display preferences are also stored locally.

Health and fitness information can be sensitive. We do not automatically upload the contents of these records to our servers or iCloud, sell them, or use them for advertising or cross-app advertising tracking. Providing information through a support request is a separate action described in Section 7.

The app and its own Home Screen widget use an iOS App Group to share the local records, settings, verified membership status and summaries needed for display and supported quick actions. This is local storage shared with this app's extension, rather than cloud synchronization or sharing with another developer's app. A quick-record action you choose may add a drink entry locally.

3. LOCAL STORAGE, UPGRADES AND DATA LOSS

The app uses local storage for your health records. The upgrade process is designed to retain existing local records and migrate them when needed. It does not intentionally delete your records merely because the app version changes. A storage failure or device problem may still prevent access; contact support before uninstalling if records do not open.

This version does not offer health-record cloud synchronization, iCloud recovery, dedicated record import or export, or a full-file backup function. It marks its health-record storage directories and relevant preferences as excluded from system backups using iOS mechanisms. Do not rely on iCloud device backup or Restore Purchases to recover these records.

Deleting the app or its data, erasing or losing the device, changing devices or device failure can make local records unavailable. We do not keep a server copy from which to recover them. Before removing the app or changing devices, keep an independent copy of important information using another method available to you.

This version's settings do not erase copies that may already exist in older device backups, screenshots, messages or other destinations you previously selected. Manage those copies through the relevant device, account or recipient.

4. PERMISSIONS AND INFORMATION THE APP DOES NOT ACCESS

Notifications: When you choose to enable reminders and iOS authorization is needed, the app requests notification permission. It schedules local drink or weight reminders according to your settings. Notification content may appear on the lock screen or in Notification Center. A normal tap on a drink notification opens the home page; a normal tap on a weight notification opens the weight page. These taps do not automatically save a record. An explicit drink-recording action in an expanded notification may save a drink, and the snooze action schedules another local reminder.

You can manage notification permission, previews and sounds in iOS Settings and supported reminder preferences in the app. Declining permission affects reminders, rather than deleting your records or authorizing unrelated processing. Actual delivery depends on your settings and iOS behavior.

This version does not request camera, microphone, photo-library, contacts, location, calendar, Bluetooth, Motion and Fitness or Apple Health/HealthKit access for its features. It does not read or write Apple Health records and does not measure health information through device sensors. System services you separately choose may have their own permission requests.

5. ANALYTICS, AD-FREE EXPERIENCE AND DEVELOPMENT COMPONENTS

Version 1.2.0 includes Umeng analytics components, UMCommon 7.5.0 and UMDevice 3.4.0, to understand app usage and improve reliability and functionality. The provider is Umeng Tongxin (Beijing) Technology Co., Ltd. and the entities identified in its privacy policy.

Depending on the SDK version and configuration, the provider may process device or installation identifiers, SDK-generated identifiers, IP address, approximate region derived from network information, device model, operating system and app version, language, network information, app usage information and technical performance or diagnostic information. These technical data may leave your device and are handled under the provider's service terms and privacy policy. Device or installation identifiers may allow technical events to be associated with the same device or installation.

Provider privacy policy: https://www.umeng.com/page/policy

The app starts analytics after its privacy acceptance has been saved, including when it reads a previously saved acceptance on a later launch. There is currently no separate analytics opt-out switch in the app. Membership does not disable analytics or delete information already processed by the provider. Contact us about your privacy choices and requests concerning provider-held data.

The app integration does not send drink or weight record contents, custom beverage names, profile entries or pet records to the analytics SDK. The iOS app remains ad-free for all users and does not integrate third-party advertising SDKs, WeChat login, sharing or payment SDKs, Alipay payments or third-party remote-push SDKs. It does not request App Tracking Transparency authorization. An ad-free experience does not mean that the app processes no technical information.

Lottie, Charts/DGCharts and Swift Algorithms are used for local animation, chart display and algorithms. In this app they are not configured as services for uploading health records. Drawing a chart does not send its underlying health records to a component provider.

Version 1.1.0 did not enable the Umeng analytics integration described in this section. This policy describes version 1.2.0 and subsequent versions while they follow these practices.

6. APPLE PURCHASES, WEBSITES AND OTHER SERVICES

Apple processes in-app purchases. StoreKit supplies product, transaction and verified entitlement information, such as product identifier, purchase date, expiration date and applicable refund, revocation, renewal or billing-grace status. The app uses this information to unlock membership, check its validity, update widget access and restore eligible purchases. We do not receive your Apple Account password, full payment card details or payment verification codes. The current app does not submit receipts to a developer-operated verification server or attach health records to purchase verification.

Restore Purchases restores eligible membership access only. It does not restore drink, weight, pet or other local app records. Purchasing membership does not create a health-record backup service.

Apple operates the App Store, StoreKit, operating-system permissions and other Apple services under Apple's own terms and privacy rules. Apple may process information for its services, purchases or system diagnostics according to those rules and your system choices. Apple's privacy policy: https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/

When you open an online agreement, support site or external page, the website operator may process information normally transmitted in a web request, including IP address, requested URL, request time and browser or system information. The app does not include your saved drink or weight records in those page requests. A website's own notice applies to its processing.

The app's embedded agreement viewer uses a non-persistent website data store. It does not retain that web session's cookies as a permanent login store. Websites may still use cookies or similar technologies during the session and process server-side access information. Pages opened in another browser follow that browser's settings.

7. SHARING AND SUPPORT REQUESTS

The app's Share option recommends the app through an iOS sharing interface. Its default content is app information and an App Store link, rather than your drink or weight records. A destination you choose handles the content you send under its own rules. Screenshots or other information you independently share may reveal health information.

If you contact us, we receive the email address, message and any attachments or diagnostic details you send. These may include your device model, iOS or app version, screenshots or a description of a problem if you provide them. We use them to respond, troubleshoot and handle the request. Opening the feedback entry does not itself send an email or automatically upload your saved health records.

Please provide only information needed to address the request. Avoid unnecessary health information, passwords, verification codes or full payment card details. Sending an email may identify you through the sender address and its content. Information you send to us or another recipient does not disappear merely because you delete the app.

8. PURPOSES, SHARING AND APPLICABLE LEGAL BASES

We handle information to provide the local features you choose, verify purchases, respond to requests, protect the service and meet applicable legal obligations. Where a legal basis is required, it depends on the activity and applicable law: providing a requested service, consent where required, a legal obligation or legitimate interests where the law permits reliance on them, such as responding to support requests and protecting service security. We do not rely on this policy alone as consent where a separate authorization is required.

We do not automatically provide your local health records to advertising, analytics or marketing companies, and we do not sell or share them for cross-context behavioral advertising. Apple, website, email and sharing services process information needed for the actions you choose under their applicable rules. Where we engage a provider to process information on our behalf, applicable confidentiality, purpose and security requirements apply.

We may disclose information we hold when legally required or permitted to protect rights and safety, and only to the extent applicable law permits. If a business transfer affects information we hold, we will comply with applicable notice and protection requirements. These circumstances do not give us remote access to records that remain only on your device.

9. RETENTION AND INTERNATIONAL PROCESSING

Local app records normally remain until you delete them or remove the relevant local data. The storage limitations in Section 3 apply. We retain support correspondence and associated information only as needed to handle the request, protect service security, resolve relevant disputes and meet applicable obligations. Website operators and Apple retain service information under their own notices and procedures.

The operator is established in mainland China. Support correspondence you send to us may be handled there. Apple, email and website services use their own infrastructure, which may process information outside your country. Applicable laws and protections may differ between countries. We comply with applicable conditions on international transfers for processing for which we are responsible; we do not promise that every service you choose keeps all information in your country.

10. SECURITY, YOUR CHOICES AND YOUR RIGHTS

We use protections available through iOS app storage, App Group access controls, system permissions and verified purchase interfaces. No device, storage or transmission method can be guaranteed completely secure. Protect your device and consider who can see its notifications, widgets, screenshots or shared content.

You can review, correct or delete supported records, adjust profile and reminder preferences, control iOS notification permissions, choose whether to contact support and decide what to share. There is no separate developer account to close. Deleting records or uninstalling the app does not cancel an Apple subscription.

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to processing, obtain a portable copy or withdraw consent without affecting processing lawfully carried out before withdrawal. You may also have a right to complain to the relevant data protection authority. Contact simplelife1024@163.com to make a request. We may request information reasonably needed to verify it and will respond within the period required by applicable law. Where applicable law protects against retaliation for exercising privacy rights, we respect those protections.

We can address requests concerning information we hold and explain available ways to manage local information. An email request does not let us remotely read or erase local records on your device. We cannot directly erase information held in your private Apple Account or copies held by another recipient; requests concerning those services may need to be made to the relevant provider.

11. CHILDREN

The app is a general habit-recording tool and is not directed to children under 13. Users must meet applicable age requirements and those shown in the App Store listing. A parent or guardian must be involved where applicable law requires it. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us without required authorization, contact us so we can investigate and address it as required by law.

12. CHANGES AND CONTACT

We may update this policy when the app or its information practices change. We will show the updated date and provide additional notice or request new authorization where applicable law requires it. A policy change does not itself authorize unrelated use of information or retroactively remove your mandatory rights.
