HAVYT

Privacy Policy

Last Updated: August 14, 2026 Version 2.3
In plain terms: HAVYT is a fitness, recovery and symptom-tracking app, including features for people living with Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) and chronic pain. Much of what you log is protected health data. We process core health data only after the explicit consent recorded when you accept this policy; optional processing has its own control. AI is off until you turn it on. If enabled, Emelie sends the message or item you submit and relevant health context to OpenAI. We do not sell personal data or use it for advertising. You can withdraw consent, export your data and delete your account in the app.

1. Who we are (Controller)

The controller responsible for processing your personal data within the meaning of Art. 4(7) GDPR is:

Daniel Denis Golaszewski, operating as "HAVYT"
Self-employed professional (autónomo) registered in Spain
NIF: Z3964150J
Avinguda d'Alexandre Rosselló 15, 6 D, 07002 Palma de Mallorca, Illes Balears, Spain
Email (support and data protection): support@havyt.app

HAVYT is provided as a web application at app.havyt.app, as an iOS app, and with a marketing website at havyt.app / www.havyt.app.

This policy is drafted under the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 ("GDPR"), the Spanish Organic Law 3/2018 on Data Protection and Digital Rights Guarantee ("LOPDGDD") and, for information-society services, Law 34/2002 ("LSSI-CE").

2. Data protection contact

For all data-protection matters, contact support@havyt.app. We respond within one month (Art. 12(3) GDPR).

3. Scope of this policy

This policy covers:

It does not cover third-party services you use under their own terms (e.g. Apple Health, your wearable's own app, the Apple App Store) — those providers are independent controllers of the data they hold; see Sections 9 and 10.

4. The data we collect

We collect only what you actively provide or what a feature you choose to use requires. By category:

4.1 Account data

Email address, password (stored only as a hash by our authentication provider), display name, country, avatar image, language/locale, account timestamps.

Note on avatars: avatar images are stored in a publicly readable storage location — anyone with the direct link can view your avatar. Do not upload an avatar you consider private.

4.2 Profile and onboarding data

Sex, date of birth, height, weight, activity level, occupation type, fitness goals, available equipment, training experience, diet type, cooking skill, coaching-tone preference, and — if you provide them — food allergies and intolerances (treated as health data, Section 6).

4.3 Health conditions and AS Mode

Whether you have declared Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) or another condition, affected body areas, baseline pain, known flare triggers, training sensitivity, injuries, movement restrictions, and implants/pacemaker information you choose to record.

4.4 Daily check-in and symptom data

Energy, stress, soreness, sleep quality and times, mood (with optional tags and free-text notes), steps, weight; and — in the AS symptom check — pain level, pain region and pain quality, morning stiffness duration, fatigue, flare level, eye symptoms (redness, pain, light sensitivity, blurry vision), gastrointestinal symptoms including blood in stool, rash and fever. Weekly BASDAI questionnaire answers and the computed score (a self-tracking score, not a diagnosis).

Free-text notes may contain anything you choose to write; we treat all check-in content as health data.

4.5 Cycle and women's health data

Cycle phase, bleeding level, cycle symptoms and severity, relief methods used, menstrual status, and pregnancy/postpartum status — only if you enable cycle tracking (Section 6).

4.6 Pain and illness logs

Standalone pain logs (location, type, intensity, notes) and illness episodes (illness type, severity, temperature, symptoms, free-text medication notes).

4.7 Medication adherence and supplements

Medication tracking in HAVYT is deliberately minimal: a daily taken yes/no plus an optional label you choose to enter. We do not ask for doses, prescriptions or medication schedules by default. Supplement tracking covers supplement names, dosage, frequency and daily intake.

4.8 Food, water and alcohol logs

Meals, estimated macros, ingredients, notes, meal photos, water intake and alcohol logs. Scanning a barcode sends the barcode (and your IP address) to Open Food Facts to look up the product (Section 10).

4.9 Workouts and training data

Exercises, sets, reps, weights, RPE (effort), pain reported during training, session feedback, workout schedules and generated training plans.

4.10 GPS routes and background location

If you enable outdoor activity tracking: full-precision GPS route polylines, distance, pace and elevation, including background location while a tracked outdoor session is running. See Section 8.

4.11 Wearable and health-platform data

If you connect Apple Health: activity and workouts; heart, recovery, respiratory and temperature measurements; sleep and sleep stages; mobility and running/cycling measurements; body measurements; and, only when you enable the relevant optional group, nutrition, hydration, cycle/reproductive-health, mindfulness and compatible symptom entries. Limited source and device identifiers are used to prevent duplicates. HAVYT does not request clinical Health Records. See Section 9.

4.12 Weather-related location

If you enable weather features, an approximate location (city-level rounding) is used to fetch local weather. We store your location rounded to roughly 11 km (0.1°) together with a city label and daily weather summaries.

4.13 AI coach data (Emelie)

Your chat messages, voice-call transcripts, and the health-context block assembled from your data (profile, declared conditions, allergy list, medication yes/no flags, cycle phase, recent check-ins and symptoms, wearable metrics, supplements, coach notes) that is sent to OpenAI to generate responses; plus AI-generated coach notes, memory entries and conversation summaries stored in your account. See Section 7.

4.14 Photos

Progress photos (front/side/back) and meal photos, stored in private storage locations accessible only to you. If you tap "analyze", the photo is sent to OpenAI (Section 7).

4.15 Device and technical data

App version, platform, device model/OS as reported by your device, push notification tokens and notification preferences, error information.

4.16 First-party analytics

Usage events (e.g. session started, onboarding step completed, screen viewed) recorded in our own database only. HAVYT contains no third-party analytics or advertising SDKs. You can turn product analytics off in Settings.

4.17 Security logs

IP addresses and user agents in security-related logs (admin access, rate limiting, invite-code attempts).

4.18 Support and email

Support tickets and emails you send us, including any health information you volunteer in them.

4.19 Waitlist / newsletter (website)

Email address, name and a confirmation token if you join the waitlist on havyt.app (double opt-in).

4.20 AI-credit purchase data

Store product identifier, transaction/event identifier, storefront price/currency and credit fulfilment status received from RevenueCat/Apple. HAVYT currently sells one-time consumable AI-credit packs, not subscriptions. We never receive or store your card or bank details; Apple handles payment. See the AI Credits, Billing & Refund Policy.

4.21 Careers and administrative operations

If you apply to work with HAVYT, we process the information you submit, such as contact details, application answers and a CV. The protected admin portal also processes staff account, role, support-ticket, operational audit and security-log data. Authorized support staff may access the minimum account information needed to investigate a request; health or AI content is accessed only when relevant to the request, safety, fraud/security, or a binding legal obligation.

6. Special-category health data (Article 9 GDPR) and your explicit consents

Most of what HAVYT does involves "data concerning health" under Art. 9(1) GDPR — including derived values such as readiness scores, flare-outlook states and detected patterns, because they are computed from your health logs. Processing such data is prohibited unless an exception applies; we rely exclusively on your explicit consent (Art. 9(2)(a)).

6.1 How consent is obtained

Before the core health-tracking service starts, you actively accept this version of the Privacy Policy using a dedicated checkbox that expressly covers the health-data processing described here. We keep the accepted document version, time, method, app version and platform. Optional processing is controlled separately:

  1. AI processing: off by default; enabled only by your affirmative AI toggle. We record the disclosure version and the opt-in/withdrawal time. Photo analysis and voice coaching are available only while AI processing is enabled and run only after you submit the photo or start the call.
  2. AS Mode: requires its own acknowledgement before activation.
  3. Cycle tracking: starts only when you choose to enable and use it.
  4. Apple Health: requires your category-by-category authorization in iOS.
  5. GPS, notifications and optional analytics: controlled through the relevant device permission and/or in-app setting.

6.2 What consenting means

The relevant screen explains the data, purpose and recipient before optional processing starts. Declining an optional consent does not block features that do not require it. HAVYT cannot provide health-personalized tracking without permission to process the health data you choose to enter.

6.3 Withdrawing

You can withdraw any of these consents at any time by emailing support@havyt.app, and — where the app offers a control for it — directly in the app: the AI features toggle in Settings disables AI processing, each wearable connection can be disconnected individually, and product analytics can be switched off in Settings. On withdrawal we stop the related processing; withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing before it (Art. 7(3) GDPR). You can additionally ask us to erase the data already collected (Section 14).

6.4 Proof of consent

For the core privacy consent we record the accepted document/version, timestamp, method, app version, platform and technical audit data. For AI we record the AI disclosure version and opt-in/withdrawal timestamps. Apple and the operating system retain their own permission records for HealthKit, location and notifications. We do not claim a separate HAVYT consent record where the permission is controlled only by the device.

7. AI processing (Emelie chat, voice, photo analysis)

HAVYT's AI coach "Emelie" and related AI features are powered by OpenAI.

What is sent to OpenAI, only after you enable AI and request the relevant feature:

What OpenAI does with it: OpenAI processes this data as our processor under a data processing agreement. Under OpenAI's API terms, data submitted via the API is not used to train OpenAI's models by default.

What Emelie is not: Emelie is a wellness coach, not a doctor. She does not diagnose, prescribe or replace professional care; her outputs are informational and hedged, and safety-relevant answers point you to healthcare professionals. See also the AI Disclaimer and Medical Disclaimer.

You can withdraw AI consent with the AI toggle in Settings. The server then blocks further AI transmissions. Existing conversations, transcripts and coach notes remain in your account until you delete them or your account.

8. Location data (GPS routes and weather)

8.1 GPS activity tracking

If you start an outdoor activity, and only after you grant location permission, we record your route at full precision — including in the background while the tracked session runs — to draw your route map and compute distance, pace and elevation. Routes are stored in your account until you delete the activity or your account.

Be aware: a route that starts or ends at your home reveals where you live. Route data is private to your account by default, but consider where you start and stop recordings.

Map styles and tiles are fetched from OpenFreeMap, which receives your IP address and the coordinates of the requested tiles (an approximate area, not your account identifier or recorded route file).

8.2 Weather

If you enable weather features, an approximate location (city-level rounding) is used to fetch local weather from Open-Meteo (an EU non-profit service; no account identifier is sent). We store only a location rounded to ~11 km (0.1°). You can use a manually chosen city instead of device location.

9. Wearables and connected health services

Apple Health is currently the only health service HAVYT connects to. The import requires your explicit consent (Section 6.1, item 7) and your authorization on Apple's side.

What arrives through Apple Health varies. Each device maker decides which measurements its own app writes into Apple Health, and you decide which categories you grant us. Some values may therefore be missing, less detailed, or delayed compared with what you see in the provider's own app, and some — for example a provider's own readiness, recovery or strain score — may never appear at all. We can only read what is actually present in Apple Health, so we cannot promise complete or continuous data from any particular device.

Selected imported records and limited source attribution are stored in HAVYT's Supabase database for sync, summaries and product features. HAVYT uses compact, source-attributed summaries for Daily Check-In, explainable wellness scoring, trends, AS/flare context, doctor reports and — only after AI consent — the minimum relevant context for Emelie. Raw HealthKit streams are not routinely sent to OpenAI. HealthKit data is never sold, used for targeted advertising or used for unrelated marketing profiles.

Disconnecting stops HAVYT sync but keeps existing history. The separate confirmed Delete imported Apple Health data action removes HAVYT's server-side Apple Health mirrors without deleting data from Apple Health. You can revoke read and write access in Apple's Health settings at any time.

Apple and the makers of any device you use remain independent controllers of the data they hold about you, under their own privacy policies. Naming a device or service here describes where data can come from; it does not mean that company sponsors, endorses or is affiliated with HAVYT.

If you connected a wearable directly in an earlier version. Earlier builds of HAVYT offered a direct Oura, WHOOP or Huawei Health connection. That option has been withdrawn. If you used it, we may still hold an access token for that provider; it is no longer used to import any data. Write to support@havyt.app and we will delete it, and you can remove HAVYT's access at any time in that provider's own account settings, which takes effect immediately on their side.

10. Recipients: processors and other third parties

We never sell personal data and never share it for advertising. Data is disclosed only to the following, only as needed. A user-friendly overview is also available on our Data Processing page.

10.1 Processors (act on our instructions under Art. 28 DPAs)

Provider What they do for us Data they handle Health data? Location / transfer
Supabase Database, authentication, file storage, server functions — our core infrastructure All app data Yes Engaged under GDPR safeguards; any processing outside the EU/EEA is covered by an adequacy decision and/or Standard Contractual Clauses in the provider's DPA
OpenAI AI coach chat, voice (Realtime + transcription), photo analysis, plan generation, report summaries and staff-assisted support summaries/drafts Chat/support content including health context where relevant, real-time voice audio, selected photos Yes USA — EU–US Data Privacy Framework and/or SCCs via the OpenAI DPA; API data not used for model training per OpenAI API terms
RevenueCat In-app purchase validation and consumable AI-credit fulfilment App user ID, product/transaction events, storefront price and currency No USA — DPA + SCCs
Resend Transactional email (waitlist confirmation, support email) Email address, name, email content (may include health details you volunteer) Possibly USA — DPA + SCCs
Vercel Hosting and CDN for app and website IP addresses, request logs No USA/global edge — DPA + SCCs
Bunny.net CDN for exercise media (media.havyt.app) Requester IP only; no user content No EU
Google Analytics 4 (Google Ireland Ltd) Website audience measurement, website only, loaded only after you consent Page views, signup events, approximate location from IP, device and browser. Never any health data. No EU (Ireland), with onward transfer to the US under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework and/or SCCs
Google Ads (Google Ireland Ltd) Advertising conversion measurement, website only, loaded only after Marketing consent and only if an Ads account is configured Whether an advertising interaction led to a signup. Never any health data. No EU (Ireland), with onward transfer to the US under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework and/or SCCs
Apple (APNs) Push notification delivery Push tokens, notification payloads (payloads contain no health data) No Apple platform terms

10.2 Recipients that are not our processors

Provider Role Data they receive
Apple (App Store / in-app purchase, HealthKit) Independent controller Payment and billing data stay with Apple; we never see card data. HealthKit data is read on-device with your permission.
Open-Meteo Weather API (EU non-profit) Approximate (city-level) location and IP; no account identifier
Open Food Facts Barcode/product lookup (EU non-profit) Scanned barcode and IP; no account identifier
OpenFreeMap Map tiles for GPS routes IP + tile coordinates (approximate area)
Apple Health Data source you authorize (independent controller) Your authorization; they send data to us at your instruction

We may also disclose data where a law we are subject to requires it (e.g. to tax authorities or on a binding order), and to professional advisers under confidentiality where strictly necessary.

Not used anywhere: Meta Pixel, TikTok pixel, Microsoft/Bing tags, Google Tag Manager, Firebase, Sentry, PostHog, Stripe and PayPal. None is present in the HAVYT app or website.

Not used in the HAVYT app: Google Analytics and Google Ads. They can operate only on the marketing website after the relevant consent, and they never receive HAVYT health data. Analytics inside the app remain first-party only.

11. International data transfers

Where a provider processes data outside the EU/EEA (for example OpenAI, RevenueCat, Resend, Vercel), transfers rely on GDPR safeguards: an adequacy decision — including the EU–US Data Privacy Framework where the provider is certified — and/or the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) incorporated in the provider's data processing agreement, with supplementary measures where required. You can request a copy of the relevant safeguards via support@havyt.app.

12. How long we keep your data (retention)

Honest baseline: most of your content exists so you can see your own history, so it is kept until you delete it or delete your account. Specifics:

Data Retention
Account, profile, all health/symptom/cycle/food/workout logs, photos, GPS routes, Apple Health/wearable imports, patterns and derived scores Until you delete the individual entry or your account. Account deletion permanently erases all of it, including storage files and OAuth tokens.
AI chat history, transcripts, coach notes/memory Until you delete them (archive/delete controls) or delete your account
Stories (social) Expire after 24 hours
Consent and legal-acceptance records Kept after withdrawal or account deletion as evidence of compliance (Art. 7(1) GDPR), for as long as legally required
Security logs (IP addresses, user agents) Short-term; we are bringing these under a fixed time limit (target: 90 days)
First-party analytics events Deleted with your account; we are bringing these under a fixed retention window
Push tokens Deleted when notifications are disabled or the account is deleted
Support tickets and emails Approximately 2 years after the ticket is closed
Job applications For the recruitment process and normally no longer than 6 months after it closes, unless you ask us to retain it for future roles or law requires longer
Waitlist / newsletter Until you unsubscribe (then suppressed)
Billing/tax records As required by Spanish tax and commercial law (statutory retention periods)

Where the table notes a time limit is being implemented, technical logs may currently be retained longer; the schedule above is the committed target and is being enforced technically.

13. How we protect your data (security)

No system is perfectly secure; if a breach is likely to result in a risk to you, we will notify the AEPD and, where required, you, per Arts. 33–34 GDPR.

14. Your rights

Under GDPR and the LOPDGDD you have the right to:

How to exercise them: email support@havyt.app from your account email (we may ask you to verify your identity). We respond within one month (extendable by two further months for complex requests, with notice — Art. 12(3)). Exercising your rights is free of charge.

About data export: Settings includes a self-service data export. You may also request access or portability by email; we handle verified requests within the legal deadline.

Complaints: you may lodge a complaint with the Spanish supervisory authority, the Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (AEPD) — C/ Jorge Juan 6, 28001 Madrid, www.aepd.es — or with the supervisory authority of your habitual residence. We'd appreciate the chance to resolve any concern first, but you are never required to contact us before the AEPD.

15. Automated decision-making and profiling

HAVYT computes personalization from your data — readiness scores, a flare outlook (a qualitative "looks similar to your higher-symptom periods" signal, never a percentage or prediction), pattern observations and training-plan adjustments. These are informational and user-controlled: they suggest, you decide; you can dismiss, override or ignore any of them, and safety-relevant adjustments only ever move in the conservative direction (train lighter, rest, see a professional).

We do not make any decision based solely on automated processing that produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR. Nothing HAVYT computes is a diagnosis, a medical prediction, or a decision about your access to the service.

16. Children

HAVYT is not intended for children under 16: you must be at least 16 years old to create an account. We use the date of birth entered during onboarding to enforce this limit. If you are 16 or 17 and the law where you live requires permission from a parent or legal guardian for the relevant processing, you may use HAVYT only with that permission. We do not knowingly process data of anyone under 16; if you believe a child under 16 has an account, contact support@havyt.app and we will investigate and delete the account where required.

17. Cookies and local storage

The app does not use advertising or third-party tracking cookies. It stores an authentication token and functional preferences (language, units, theme, active workout session, consent flags) in your browser's local storage, plus offline caches — full inventory in the HAVYT Cookie Policy.

The website (havyt.app) uses HAVYT's own consent manager. Google Analytics 4 is not requested from Google until you grant Analytics consent; Google Ads measurement is requested only if you grant Marketing consent and an Ads account is configured. Both begin denied. No health data from the HAVYT app is sent to Google. You can change or withdraw your choice through the Cookie settings link in the website footer. See the HAVYT Cookie Policy for the complete list and controls.

18. Social features and what your friends can see

If you use friends, challenges, shared goals/streaks or stories, the people you connect with can see what you choose to share. Be aware that shared streaks and goals can indirectly reveal health-related information (e.g. a recovery streak). Sharing is off by default, controlled by visibility settings, and stories expire after 24 hours. You can block users at any time.

19. Changes to this policy and re-acceptance

We may update this policy as HAVYT evolves. For material changes — especially any new processor for health data, new data category, or new purpose — we will notify you in the app and, where the change relies on consent, ask for your renewed acceptance before the change applies to you. Each version is dated and numbered; acceptance is recorded (Section 6.4). Continued use after non-material updates constitutes acknowledgment.
