Privacy Policy
Effective Date: 17/04/2025
Cold Plunge takes your privacy seriously. This policy explains what data we collect, how it’s used, and your rights as a user. Our mission is to keep your data private, secure, and in your control.
1. Data Collection & Storage
Cold Plunge does not collect any personally identifiable information. All plunge session data — like duration, temperature, and notes — is stored:
Locally on your device, and
Securely in Apple Health, with your permission.
We do not store your data on any servers, nor do we require any account or login to use the core app.
2. Health Data (Apple HealthKit)
Cold Plunge integrates with Apple HealthKit to log and read plunge session data.
HealthKit access is optional and permission-based.
We do not share or transmit your Health data to any third party.
You can revoke Health access at any time via the Health app.
3. Sensors & Location Access
To power automatic and accurate plunge tracking, Cold Plunge uses:
Apple Watch sensors (e.g., water detection, heart rate, motion)
Location access, to optionally log plunge locations and show relevant data
Location data is stored only on your device and never shared or transmitted externally.
You can disable location permissions in your device settings at any time.
4. Anonymous Analytics
We use TelemetryDeck, a privacy-first analytics tool, to collect anonymous usage statistics (e.g., feature usage, app version).
No tracking or personal identifiers are used.
No fingerprinting or IP address logging.
Data is used solely to improve the app experience.

5. Subscriptions & Monetization
Cold Plunge is free to download and use with core features.
We offer an optional Cold Plunge Ultra subscription, which unlocks additional features. All payments are handled securely through Apple’s in-app purchase system.
We do not have ads, affiliate tracking, or external monetization partners.
6. Children’s Privacy
Cold Plunge is not intended for users under 13 (or 16 in the EU). We do not knowingly collect or store any data from minors.
7. Your Rights
You control all HealthKit and location data permissions.
You can revoke access at any time in Settings.
If you delete the app, all local data is deleted from your device.
Because we do not collect personal data, there is no user profile, export, or deletion request necessary.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we’ll update the effective date and communicate major changes through the app or App Store.
