This Privacy Policy describes how Lars Grof ("we," "us," or "our") handles information in the "HealthClaw" mobile application (the "App").
1. Data We Process
HealthClaw accesses Apple Health data with your explicit permission.
When you grant HealthKit access and configure a sync server, the App reads health data from Apple Health and transmits it to a server address that you provide. This may include:
- Activity data (steps, distance, calories, exercise minutes)
- Heart rate and heart rate variability
- Sleep analysis
- Workout sessions
- Body measurements (weight, height, BMI)
- Vitals (blood pressure, respiratory rate, blood oxygen)
- Mood and mindfulness data
Important: The App sends this data only to a server URL and API key that you configure yourself. We do not operate a central server that collects user data. You are in full control of where your health data is stored.
2. Data Storage and Control
Your health data is stored in two places:
- On your device: Within Apple Health, managed by iOS.
- On your server: At the server address you configure in the App. You are solely responsible for the security and management of this server.
We do not have access to your configured server, your API key, or any health data transmitted by the App. The App does not require an account with us and does not transmit data to our infrastructure.
Recommendation: We strongly recommend running your sync server on a dedicated device (e.g., a Raspberry Pi) or a VPS that is only accessible via a private network tunnel such as Tailscale. Do not expose your health data server to the public internet.
You are solely responsible for the security, availability, and management of your own server or device on which HealthClaw's server component is running, as well as all health data stored on it.
3. No Third-Party Sharing
Excluding: Apple's crash reporting service (if opted in)
We do not sell, share, or transmit your health data to any third parties. The only external service involved is Apple's crash reporting (if you have opted in via your device's Privacy & Security settings), which provides us with anonymized crash reports to improve app stability.
4. HealthKit Data Usage
In accordance with Apple's requirements:
- HealthKit data is used solely for the purpose of syncing your health information to your configured server for personal health analysis.
- HealthKit data is never used for advertising, marketing, or data mining purposes.
- HealthKit data is never sold to third parties.
- HealthKit data is not shared with third parties without your explicit consent.
5. Children's Privacy
The App is not intended for use by children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has used the App, please contact us.
6. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted within the App or on our website. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
