Aether uses Apple Health data only with your permission.

You can also manage permissions through the Apple Health app permissions area.

Aether uses Apple Health data to support features such as:

Cloud Backup helps you:

You can continue using Aether without Cloud Backup, but your data may only exist on your device.

If you delete the app without Cloud Backup, your local data may be lost.

6. Legal bases for processing

If you are in the UK or European Economic Area, we rely on different lawful bases depending on how your data is used.

These may include:

• Consent, where you choose to connect Apple Health, enable notifications or enter optional health-related information.
• Contract, where processing is needed to provide the app features you request, such as account access and Cloud Backup.
• Legitimate interests, where we process limited information to keep the app secure, respond to support requests and improve reliability.
• Legal obligation, where we need to comply with applicable laws.

You can withdraw consent where processing is based on consent, although this may affect whether some features work.

7. How we store and protect your information

Aether stores app data locally on your device.

If you enable Cloud Backup, selected data is also stored in our cloud database.

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information, including authentication, access controls and secure cloud infrastructure.

However, no app, website or cloud service can guarantee complete security. You are responsible for keeping your device, email account and password secure.

8. Who we share data with

We may use trusted service providers to operate Aether, including:

• Cloud database and authentication providers
• Email delivery providers for account emails
• Apple services required for Apple Health permissions and iOS app functionality
• App Store services for app distribution

These providers process information only as needed to provide their services to us.

We do not sell your personal data.

We do not share your Apple Health data for advertising.

We may disclose information if required by law, regulation, legal process or to protect the rights, safety and security of Aether, our users or others.

9. Data retention

We keep your personal information only for as long as needed for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

Local app data remains on your device until you delete it, reset the app or uninstall the app.

Cloud Backup data is retained while your account remains active or until you request deletion, unless we need to retain limited information for legal, security or operational reasons.

Support emails may be retained for a reasonable period so we can manage and respond to support requests.
