Privacy Policy for AquaMelo

Last updated: August 15, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how NovinaApps Studio (“we”, “our”, or “us”) handles information in the AquaMelo mobile application (“App”).

Contact: novinaappsstudio@gmail.com

1. Overview

AquaMelo is a hydration reminder and water tracking app. The App is designed to store most hydration and preference data locally on your device. We do not operate a user account system and we do not run our own backend server for storing your hydration history.

Some third-party services may process data when specific features are used, such as ads, weather-based suggestions, or font loading.

2. Information Stored Locally on Your Device

The App may store the following information locally:

• Water intake records, drink type, amount, date, and time
• Hydration goals, streaks, badges, statistics, and history
• Hydration profile information, such as height, weight, age, gender preference, activity level, exercise preference, and sleep/quiet hours
• Body signal selections, such as headache, fatigue, dry lips, low energy, dizziness, or dark urine, when you use hydration insight features
• Notification preferences, scheduled reminder status, and notification history markers
• Widget data, such as today’s water amount, goal amount, and widget drink events
• App diagnostic launch logs used locally for troubleshooting

This information is stored using local device storage such as SharedPreferences and widget shared storage. It is not sent to our own server.

3. Voice Input

When you press and hold the voice input control, AquaMelo uses your device’s speech recognition to identify the drink and amount you say. AquaMelo does not store voice recordings or recognized text.

4. Location and Weather

If you choose to use weather-based hydration suggestions and grant location permission, the App may access your current location while the App is in use.

When this feature is available and enabled, your latitude and longitude may be sent over HTTPS to OpenWeather to retrieve current weather information such as temperature and weather condition. We use this only to provide hydration-related weather suggestions. We do not store your precise location in our own backend, and we do not use your precise location for our own advertising profiles.

OpenWeather handles data according to its own privacy policy: https://openweather.co.uk/privacy-policy

5. Advertising

The Google Play version of the App uses the Yandex Mobile Ads SDK to display banner ads.

The Yandex Mobile Ads SDK may process technical and advertising-related data for ad delivery, measurement, and fraud prevention, such as:

• IP address
• Device or advertising identifiers, including Advertising ID where available
• App interactions related to ads, such as ad views and taps
• Diagnostic information related to SDK and app performance

AquaMelo does not provide water intake, hydration profile, body signal, Health Connect or Apple Health data, voice recordings, or recognized text to Yandex for advertising targeting. Yandex handles data from its advertising SDK under its Yandex Ads Privacy Policy.

6. Notifications

The App uses local notifications to remind you to drink water. These reminders are scheduled on your device. The App does not use a remote push notification server and does not collect push tokens.

The App may use your device timezone to schedule reminders correctly.

7. Device Language

The App may read your device language or locale to display the interface in the appropriate language. This is used for localization and is not sent to our own server.

8. Google Fonts

The App uses Google Fonts for visual styling. If a font is not already available locally or cached, font files may be requested from Google servers. Google may receive standard network information such as IP address and request headers as part of delivering the font files.

9. Sharing Features

If you choose to share your hydration progress or insight screen, the App may create a temporary screenshot file on your device and open the system share sheet. You control whether and where this content is shared. Once shared, the selected third-party app or service handles the shared content according to its own privacy policy.

10. Data We Do Not Collect

The current version of the App does not include:

• User account registration or login
• Firebase Analytics
• Firebase Crashlytics
• A custom analytics backend
• A custom crash reporting backend
• Collection of name, email address, phone number, contacts, photos, or payment information by NovinaApps Studio

If you contact us by email, we may process the information you provide in that message to respond to your request.

11. Sensitive Information

Some information you enter, such as hydration profile details and body signal selections, may relate to wellness or health. This information is stored locally on your device and is used only to provide hydration tracking, reminders, and insights inside the App. We do not sell this information.

AquaMelo is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice.

12. Data Retention and Deletion

Local App data remains on your device until you delete it, reset it inside the App where available, clear the App’s storage, or uninstall the App.

Temporary share screenshots are stored in the device’s temporary storage and may be removed by the operating system.

Data processed by third-party services, such as Yandex Ads or OpenWeather, is handled according to those services’ own retention and deletion policies.

13. Children’s Privacy

The App is not directed to children under 13 or the minimum age required by applicable law. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the App, please contact us so we can review the request.

14. Legal Bases for Processing

Where applicable, we process information based on:

• Your consent, such as for location permission and notification permission
• App functionality, such as storing hydration records locally
• Legitimate interests, such as app security, troubleshooting, and fraud prevention through third-party ad services
• Legal obligations, where required by applicable law

15. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of your personal data.

Because most App data is stored locally, you can delete much of it by using in-app reset/delete features, clearing App storage, or uninstalling the App. For questions, contact us at novinaappsstudio@gmail.com.

16. Security

We use platform-provided local storage for App data. Network requests to OpenWeather and Google services use HTTPS where supported. No method of storage or transmission is perfectly secure, but we aim to use reasonable safeguards appropriate for the App’s functionality.

17. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on the public privacy policy page with an updated “Last updated” date.
