Addose Privacy Policy

Effective November 11, 2026

Who we are

Addose is an iPhone app that helps you take your supplements at the right time. It is developed by Serhat Yildiz (“we”, “us”). If you have a question about this policy, write to support@addose.app.

Information stored on your device

To build your daily schedule, Addose stores the following on your iPhone:

• The supplements you add, their dosage, time of day, repeat rule and notes
• Your wake-up time, bedtime, training time and training days
• Which doses you took, skipped or missed, and when
• Your streaks, streak freezes and app settings

It is kept in the app’s private storage, and a small summary (your next dose and today’s progress) is shared with the Addose widgets on the same iPhone. We have no server to send it to and no way to read it.

iCloud sync

If you are signed in to iCloud and iCloud is turned on for Addose, the information above is also saved in the private database of your own iCloud account, using Apple’s CloudKit. This keeps it in sync between your devices and brings it back when you set up a new iPhone or reinstall the app. Only you can read this data: it is stored by Apple under your Apple Account, and we, the developer, have no access to it. Apple’s handling of iCloud data is described in Apple’s Privacy Policy.

Sync follows your iPhone’s settings: to stop it, sign out of iCloud or turn off iCloud for Addose in the Settings app. Addose then keeps working with the data on your iPhone. Settings → Your data in Addose shows whether sync is on.

If you back up your iPhone with iCloud or a computer, Apple may include Addose’s data in that backup, as it does for other apps. Those backups are covered by Apple’s Privacy Policy, and we cannot access them.

Notifications and Live Activities

Reminders, Lock Screen widgets and Live Activities are created on your iPhone. Addose does not use push notifications from a server, so no schedule or supplement information is sent anywhere to deliver them.

Apple Watch

If you install the Addose app on your Apple Watch, your iPhone sends it today’s doses (names, amounts, times and how many you have taken) over Apple’s direct connection between an iPhone and its paired Watch. The Watch keeps the latest copy so it can show your day, and sends the taps you make there (Took it, Skip) back to your iPhone. Nothing passes through a server of ours, and the Watch app does not use iCloud itself. A paired Watch can also show Addose’s Live Activity in its Smart Stack, which iOS mirrors from your iPhone. Reset All Data also clears what the Watch shows, and deleting the Watch app removes what it kept.

Siri, Shortcuts and Spotlight

You can use Addose with Siri, the Shortcuts app, Control Center and the Action button, for example to log a dose or to ask whether you can take something now. Addose answers these requests on your iPhone from the data stored there, and sends nothing to us. Requests that show or change your doses need your iPhone to be unlocked. When you talk to Siri, Apple handles your request as described in Apple’s Privacy Policy.

On iOS 18 and later, Addose adds your supplements (name, amount, category and related search words) to Spotlight so you can find them when you search on your iPhone. iOS keeps this search index on your iPhone. Reset All Data removes it.

Apple Intelligence

On iOS 26 with Apple Intelligence turned on, Addose can use Apple’s on-device language model to read a sentence you type when adding a supplement (for example “zinc 25 mg in the evening”), a list of supplements you paste, or a question you type in Ask. This runs entirely on your iPhone: the text is not sent to Apple, to us or to anyone else. The model only fills in the add form for you to check, or picks which of Addose’s built-in answers fits your question. It never gives advice.

With Visual Intelligence on iOS 26, you can point the camera at a bottle, or use a screenshot, and Addose suggests the matching supplement from its built-in catalog. iOS passes Addose what it recognized, and Addose reads the text on the label on your iPhone. Addose does not save the picture or send it anywhere.

Checking for updates

About once a day, Addose asks Apple’s public App Store lookup whether a newer version of the app is available, so it can show a small “update available” note. The request only contains the app’s identifier and your country’s App Store; it carries nothing about you or your supplements, and it goes to Apple, not to us. Apple’s handling of App Store requests is described in Apple’s Privacy Policy.

Purchases

Addose Pro is sold through the App Store. Apple handles the payment; we never receive your name, payment details or Apple ID. The app only learns whether Pro is active on your device. Apple’s handling of purchases is described in Apple’s Privacy Policy.

Exporting your history

Pro users can export their history as text. This happens only when you tap Export, and the text goes wherever you choose in the iOS share sheet (for example Notes or Mail). We don’t receive a copy.

Contacting support

If you email us, from the app or otherwise, we receive your email address and whatever you write. When you use Send feedback in the app’s Settings, the draft also includes your device model, iOS version and Addose version, so we can help with problems; you can see and remove this before you send. We use your email only to reply to you, never for marketing, and we delete it on request.

What we don’t do

• We don’t collect analytics, crash reports or usage data of our own.
• We don’t show ads and don’t track you across apps or websites.
• We don’t sell, rent or share personal information.
• Addose contains no third-party SDKs.

If you have chosen to share analytics with app developers in iOS Settings, Apple may provide us with aggregated, anonymous statistics such as crash counts. These do not identify you.

Deleting your data

You are in control of everything Addose stores:

• Settings → Reset All Data erases your supplements, history, streaks and settings, and removes scheduled reminders. With iCloud sync on, it also erases them from your iCloud and your other devices.
• Deleting the app removes all of its data from your iPhone. A copy synced to iCloud stays there until you use Reset All Data, or delete Addose’s data under your Apple Account’s iCloud storage settings in the Settings app.
• To have a support email deleted, write to support@addose.app.

Health information

The supplements you take can be sensitive. That is why Addose keeps them on your device and in your own private iCloud, and nowhere else. Addose does not read from or write to Apple Health. Its timing and interaction tips are general information, not medical advice; talk to a doctor or pharmacist before starting, stopping or combining supplements.

Children

Addose is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR or CCPA), you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal information about you. Because Addose keeps your data on your device and in your own iCloud, you can see, change and delete it directly in the app. For anything we might hold, such as a support email, contact us and we will respond within 30 days.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we will update this page and the date at the top. If a change affects how your information is handled, for example if Addose ever starts sending data off your device, we will tell you in the app before it takes effect.
