Privacy Policy

Last Updated: December 2025

Year In Health (“the App,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is developed by Gal Aviel. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring you have complete control over your health data. This Privacy Policy outlines our practices regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of information when you use our application.

By using Year In Health, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. Our fundamental principle is simple: Your data belongs to you.

IMPORTANT: NOT MEDICAL ADVICE

This App is intended for informational, educational, and entertainment purposes only. It is not a medical device and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or health condition. The data presented, including but not limited to heart rate zones, activity trends, sleep analysis, and other health metrics, are estimates derived from Apple Health data and should not be considered clinically accurate measurements.

Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition or before starting any new fitness regime. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay in seeking it because of something you have read in this App. If you think you may have a medical emergency, call your doctor or emergency services immediately.

1. Data Minimization & Local Processing

Year In Health operates with a strict "zero-knowledge" architecture regarding your personal health information. This means:

2. Integration with Apple HealthKit

The App’s core functionality relies on reading data from Apple's HealthKit framework. We request read-only access to specific data types solely to visualize your year in health. We do not write data back to HealthKit.

We only access data types that you explicitly authorize via the iOS system permission prompt. Depending on the features you use, requested data types may include:

You retain full control over these permissions. You can review or revoke access at any time by navigating to:
Settings app → Health → Data Access & Devices → Year In Health.

3. Analytics & Tracking

We prioritize your privacy over data collection.

4. User Profile & Preferences

Any personal information you enter into the App, such as your name for the recap summary or your target year preference, is stored locally on your device using secure iOS storage mechanisms (NSUserDefaults/AppStorage). This information is used solely for customizing the user interface and generating personalized summaries. It is never transmitted to us.

5. Limitation of Liability ("As Is")

The App is provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis. The developer (Gal Aviel) makes no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, regarding the operation of the App or the information, content, or materials included therein.

To the full extent permissible by applicable law, the developer disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including, but not limited to, implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. The developer shall not be liable for any damages of any kind arising from the use of the App, including, but not limited to, direct, indirect, incidental, punitive, and consequential damages, or damages for loss of data, injury, or profit.

We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of the health data displayed. The App relies entirely on the data recorded by your Apple Watch, iPhone sensors, or third-party apps and stored in the HealthKit database. Any inaccuracies in the source data will be reflected in the App.

6. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date at the top. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
