Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy
How Vivrox collects, uses and shares consumer health data, including Health Connect, and how to exercise your rights.
Last updated
On this page
This policy explains how Vivek Yadav ("Vivrox", "we") handles consumer health data. It is written to meet the Washington My Health My Data Act, Nevada's consumer health data law (SB 370) and Connecticut's consumer health data rules, and it applies to everyone who uses Vivrox, wherever they live. It also explains how Vivrox uses Health Connect, and Apple Health when the iPhone app is available.
Our general Privacy Policy covers all other personal data.
In short: we use your health data only to run Vivrox for you. We never sell it, never use it for advertising, and never give it to advertisers or data brokers.
1. What consumer health data we collect
"Consumer health data" means personal information that is linked or reasonably linkable to you and identifies your past, present or future physical or mental health. In Vivrox, that is:
| Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| Body measurements | Height, weight, weigh-ins, body measurements, target weight |
| Fitness and activity | Workouts, sets, exercises, personal records, yoga sessions, active minutes, steps |
| Food and nutrition | Meals, foods, calories, protein, carbs, fat, water, calorie and protein targets |
| Habits | Habits and check-ins you choose to track. Some can reveal health information, such as sleep, bedtime, medication or quitting a substance. |
| Sleep | Sleep duration and bedtime read from Health Connect |
| Goals and inferences | Your goals (for example "lose fat") and the targets and plans we calculate from your data |
| Related details | Date of birth and gender, which we use with the data above to calculate targets |
We do not collect diagnoses, medical records, genetic or biometric data, or precise location, and we do not collect location within 2,000 feet of any health care facility (no "geofencing" of any kind).
2. Where it comes from
- You: what you enter or log in the app.
- Health Connect (Android): only the data types you allow. See section 6.
- Apple Health: when the iPhone app is available, only the data types you allow. See section 7.
- Vivrox itself: targets, plans, streaks and badges we calculate from your data.
3. Why we collect and use it
Only to provide the features you use:
- your targets, plans, progress charts, streaks, badges and reminders
- habits that fill themselves from Health Connect (for example a step or sleep habit)
- the challenges you choose to join, where other members see your progress in that challenge
- syncing your data between your phones and keeping an encrypted copy for offline use
- writing your Vivrox workouts, meals, water and weigh-ins to Health Connect, if you allow it
- keeping the service secure and fixing problems
We ask for your explicit consent before collecting any health data, at the first step of sign-up, separately from our Terms. Health Connect and Apple Health also ask for their own permission for each data type.
We never use consumer health data for advertising or marketing, never sell it, and never use it to make decisions about credit, insurance, employment or housing.
4. Who we share it with
Categories of consumer health data shared: the categories in section 1, but only as described here.
| Recipient | What and why |
|---|---|
| Our service providers (processors) | They host and run Vivrox for us under contracts that let them use the data only to provide their service to us: a cloud hosting and database provider and a server hosting provider (database, storage and servers, United States). |
| Other Vivrox users you choose | People in a challenge you join see your progress and result in that challenge. Posts you publish go to the audience you pick. Nothing is shared with other users automatically. |
| Health Connect and Apple Health on your phone | Only if you turn on writing, and only the types listed in section 6 and 7. |
| Authorities | Only when the law requires it, for example a valid court order. |
Analytics: health data is never sent to our app analytics provider or any analytics tool, and we do not record your screen. Analytics receives only usage events, such as which screens are opened, linked to a random user ID.
Affiliates: Vivrox has no affiliates that receive consumer health data.
Third parties: we do not share consumer health data with any third party (other than the processors above, which act only for us) without your separate consent. We have no data brokers or advertising partners.
5. Your rights and how to use them
You have the right to:
- Confirm and access: find out whether we collect, share or sell your consumer health data, get a copy of it, and get a list of every third party and affiliate it was shared with, with their contact details.
- Withdraw consent: Settings > Your data > Health data > Withdraw consent. Vivrox can't work without health data, so withdrawing deletes your account and data (an export is offered first).
- Delete: Settings > Delete account, or our deletion page. We also tell our processors to delete it. Data in our backups is overwritten within 7 days.
- Export: Settings > Your data > Export my data.
- Stop Health Connect access at any time: Settings > Connected apps, or in Health Connect.
You can also email support@vivrox.com from your account's email address, with the subject "Health data request". We verify requests with a code sent to that email, and respond within 45 days (we may extend once by another 45 days when reasonably necessary, and will tell you why). Requests are free, up to twice a year.
Appeals: if we refuse your request, you can appeal by replying to our answer with the subject "Appeal" within a reasonable time. We will answer within 45 days and explain our decision in writing. If we deny your appeal, you can contact your state Attorney General, for example the Washington State Attorney General at atg.wa.gov/file-complaint.
We will never treat you differently for using these rights.
6. Health Connect
On Android, Vivrox can connect to Health Connect. You choose which permissions to give, and you can change them any time in Settings > Connected apps or in Health Connect.
| Direction | Data type | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Read | Steps | Show today's steps and fill step habits |
| Read | Sleep sessions | Show last night's sleep and fill "sleep" and "in bed by" habits |
| Read | Exercise sessions from other apps | Show them in your training history and keep your streak and active-minutes habits up to date |
| Read | Weight | Add weigh-ins to your weight chart |
| Read in the background | The types above | Keep these up to date about every 3 hours while the app is closed |
| Write | Exercise sessions and active calories | Save your Vivrox workouts and yoga sessions |
| Write | Nutrition | Save your meals (energy, protein, carbs, fat) |
| Write | Hydration | Save your water habit |
| Write | Weight | Save your weigh-ins |
How we handle Health Connect data:
- On first connection we read the last 30 days; after that, recent days only.
- It is stored with your other Vivrox data (see section 4) so it syncs across your phones. It is never sold, never used for advertising, and never shared with third parties except the processors that run Vivrox for us.
- Imported activity keeps your streak alive but never earns coins or counts in coin challenges.
- If you disconnect, we stop reading. What was already imported stays until you delete it or your account.
- Deleting your account deletes all Health Connect data we hold.
The use of information received from Health Connect will adhere to the Health Connect Permissions policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
7. Apple Health (when the iPhone app is available)
When the iPhone app is available, Vivrox will read and write the same kinds of data through Apple Health (HealthKit), only with your permission for each type. Data from Apple Health will not be used for advertising, marketing or data mining, will not be sold or shared with third parties for those purposes, and will not be stored in iCloud.
8. Changes
If we change how we collect or share consumer health data, we will update this page and its date, tell you in the app before the change takes effect, and ask for your consent again where the law requires.
