Privacy Policy

Last updated: 8 June 2026

1. Overview

Siplia (the “App”) is a wellness app that helps you track your water intake. Siplia is designed to be privacy-first: you don’t need to create an account. The information you enter into your profile and your water intake data are never transmitted to the developer; they remain solely on your device, and your data is never sold.

This Privacy Policy explains what information is processed when you use the App, the legal bases on which it is processed, and how that information is stored.

2. Data Controller

The data controller for this App is the independent developer of the Siplia app, based in Switzerland. All requests relating to data protection and privacy can be directed to the address below.

3. Information Processed and Where It Is Stored

3.1. Data that stays on your device. All information you enter while using the App is stored solely on your device and (if you have enabled it) in your own personal iCloud account. We have no access to this information, and it is not transmitted from your device to us:

  • Your water intake records, daily goals, and history
  • Optional information you may add to your profile: a name, age, weight, and activity level
  • Your app preferences and settings (theme, language, reminder times, appearance)

The name and other information you enter into your profile are used solely to calculate your daily water goal and to show you your progress. This information remains on your device; it is not transmitted to the developer and is not visible to us.

3.2. iCloud sync. If you have enabled iCloud in your device settings, your data is synced through Apple’s iCloud infrastructure solely between the devices linked to your own account. This data is processed under Apple’s security and privacy terms and under your control; the developer has no access to or control over it. Use of iCloud is subject to Apple’s privacy policy.

3.3. Apple Health. With your permission, Siplia can sync your water intake data two-way with the Apple Health app. This synchronization takes place only with your explicit permission and locally on your device; you can withdraw the permission (consent) you have given at any time from your device settings. The developer has no access to your Apple Health data. Apple Health data is not used for advertising, marketing, analytics, or user profiling, and is not shared with any third party.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

Under applicable data protection law (the EU General Data Protection Regulation, “GDPR,” and the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection), the legal bases for the limited data involved are as follows:

  • Information you enter on your device / in iCloud: Because this data is not transmitted to the developer, it is not processed by the developer; you alone control this data on your own device and in your own Apple account.
  • Apple Health sync: This takes place only with the user’s explicit permission and on the device; the developer does not access this data. Because health-related data is a special category, any processing related to Apple Health synchronization is based on your explicit consent (GDPR Art. 9(2)(a)). You can withdraw your consent at any time (see Section 9).
  • Crash and diagnostic data (Firebase Crashlytics): Based on legitimate interest in ensuring the security, stability, and error-free operation of the App (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)). You can object to this processing at any time (see Section 9).

5. Crash and Diagnostic Data (Third Party)

The information you enter into your profile and your water intake data are never transmitted to the developer; they remain solely on your device. However, to ensure the security and stability of the App, we use the Google Firebase Crashlytics service, which may process technical diagnostic and error-reporting data.

If the App crashes unexpectedly, Crashlytics may process technical information such as: device model, operating system version, time of the crash, technical error logs (stack traces), IP address, and technical device identifiers.

This data:

  • Is not directly linked to your identity (name, email, etc.),
  • Does not contain your water intake records, profile information, or personal content,
  • Is used solely to diagnose errors and improve the App.

In this context, Google LLC acts solely as a processor (or sub-processor, where applicable) and is subject to Google’s own privacy policy. As of the last updated date of this Privacy Policy, the only third-party error-reporting service integrated by the developer is Firebase Crashlytics.

6. International Data Transfers

Technical diagnostic data processed via Firebase Crashlytics may be transferred to countries outside the European Union or Switzerland (for example, to the United States). These transfers are carried out under the appropriate safeguards provided by Google, including Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and, where applicable, the Swiss addendum, as well as Google’s EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework certification. Transfers are made in accordance with applicable data protection law.

7. Data Retention

  • Data stored on your device and in your iCloud account: Retained until you delete it or remove the App (subject to the exceptions in Section 11).
  • Crashlytics diagnostic data: This data is retained not by the developer but by Google, under Google’s own retention policies, and its duration is determined by Google. The developer has no direct control over the length of this period. For current retention terms, please refer to Google’s relevant policies.

8. Data We Do Not Collect

To be clear, Siplia:

  • Does not require you to create an account; does not ask you to sign in or provide an email address or phone number,
  • Does not transmit any data to the developer, including the name, age, and weight you enter into your profile (this information stays solely on your device),
  • Does not collect your location data,
  • Does not display ads and does not perform ad tracking,
  • Does not sell, rent, or otherwise commercialize your data, and does not market it to third parties.

9. Your Data Protection Rights

Under applicable data protection law (such as the GDPR and the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection), users may have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict the processing of, and object to the processing of their personal data. For processing based on consent (for example, Apple Health sync), you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time; withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out beforehand. Users may also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection authority.

However, because Siplia does not store your profile and water intake data and has no access to it, the direct enforceability of these rights against us is limited. You can view, edit, or delete the data stored on your device and in your iCloud account yourself at any time. You can send us any requests or objections regarding Crashlytics diagnostic data at support@siplia.app.

10. Data Security

Because your data is stored on your device and in your own iCloud account, its security depends largely on the security settings of your device and your Apple account. The developer takes reasonable technical and administrative measures to secure the technical service configurations under its own control (for example, the Crashlytics integration); however, please note that no transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.

11. Deletion of Data

When you delete the App from your device, the data stored locally on your device is removed. However, deleting the App may not automatically delete data stored in your iCloud account; data stored in iCloud can be managed and deleted by you through your Apple account settings.

12. General Use and Parental Responsibility

Siplia is a general-purpose water tracking app and does not target any specific age group. We recommend that users under the age of 16 use the App only under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian. Responsibility for a minor’s use of the App, including the entry of information such as age and weight, lies with the parent or legal guardian. The App does not request or collect personal information intended to identify children.

13. Health-Related Disclaimer

Siplia is a general wellness and water tracking app. The App is not designed for the diagnosis, treatment, monitoring, prevention, or management of any disease, and is not a medical device.

The water intake goals it provides are general estimates based on publicly available scientific references (EFSA 2010, IOM 2004, ACSM 2007) and do not constitute medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. The information provided by the App is not a substitute for professional medical advice. The calculated daily water intake goals are automated estimates for informational purposes only and may not fully reflect your individual health needs or medical conditions.

You should consult a qualified healthcare professional before making any decisions about your health, fluid intake, or nutrition. In particular, if you have any medical condition affecting fluid intake—such as pregnancy, kidney disorders, or heart conditions—you must determine your water intake goals with a doctor. The information provided by the App should not be used in medical emergencies. Your use of the App is entirely at your own risk.

14. Accuracy and Disclaimer of Warranties

The calculations, estimates, statistics, and recommendations presented in the App are provided “as is,” without any guarantee of accuracy. This information is not guaranteed to be complete, current, or error-free. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the developer makes no warranties, express or implied, regarding the App.

The user is responsible for the accuracy of the age, weight, activity level, and similar information they enter. The accuracy of the calculated goals depends on the accuracy of the information entered.

15. Provision of the Service “As Is” and Limitation of Liability

The App is provided “as is” and “as available.” We do not guarantee that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or always accessible. Software may occasionally crash unexpectedly, certain features may not work properly, or temporary disruptions may occur; these are normal occurrences in software.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, and excluding liabilities that cannot be limited by law, the developer shall not, under any circumstances, be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from the use of or inability to use the App, from any loss of data, loss of revenue, loss of profit, or loss of business, or from health outcomes, injuries, decisions about fluid intake, or any decision made by the user in reliance on the App. It is your responsibility to back up your data regularly (for example, via iCloud).

16. Force Majeure

The developer shall not be liable for any interruption, delay, or disruption resulting from cyberattacks, internet outages, Apple service outages, iCloud issues, third-party service failures, or events beyond the developer’s reasonable control.

17. Relationship with Apple

Apple Inc. is not the provider of this App and is not responsible for the App’s content, support, or operation. Apple is not a party to this Privacy Policy.

18. Reference to the Terms of Use

Use of the App is also subject to a separate Terms of Use agreement. This Privacy Policy should be read together with those Terms of Use.

19. Governing Law

This Privacy Policy is governed by Swiss law, without prejudice to any applicable mandatory consumer protection provisions.

20. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date. We encourage users to review this page regularly. To the extent permitted by applicable law, your continued use of the App after changes may constitute your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
