Privacy Policy — SunSync
SunSync respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information is processed when you use the SunSync iOS app, why, who it is shared with, and the rights you have over it.
1. Who is responsible for your data
SunSync is developed and published by Marta Rodríguez, an independent developer based in Spain, who is the data controller for the processing described in this policy.
For any privacy question or request, contact sunsyncapp@gmail.com.
2. Information stored on your device
SunSync is designed to work on your device. Depending on the features you use, the app stores:
- your profile settings: skin type, age range, weight, height, sun-exposure preferences and daily vitamin D target,
- the sun sessions you record (live or added afterwards), including their duration, estimated vitamin D and any notes you write,
- the supplements you log,
- the sunrises you mark as seen,
- notification preferences, bedtime and other app settings.
This information is stored only on your device. It is not uploaded to our servers or to any third party, and SunSync has no access to it.
3. Personal information
SunSync does not require you to create an account.
SunSync does not collect directly identifying information such as your name, email address, postal address or phone number, unless you voluntarily provide it, for example when contacting support by email.
4. Device permissions and app functionality
SunSync only asks for access to device capabilities when they are needed for a feature. Each one is optional.
- Notifications: if you enable reminders, SunSync schedules local notifications on your device, such as first light, sunset, your vitamin D window or the end of a sun session.
- Location: SunSync uses your location to calculate sunrise, sunset, daylight windows and vitamin D estimates. These calculations happen on your device. To show the name of your city and the UV index, your approximate location is sent to Apple services (see section 5). The home screen widget uses the same location. Location is never used for tracking or advertising.
- Apple Health: with your permission, SunSync reads your Time in Daylight data (recorded by Apple Watch) to count your daily sun without a timer. SunSync only reads this data; it never writes anything to Health.
- Live Activities and widgets: the session timer on the Lock Screen and the home screen widget are generated on your device. No data is sent anywhere to display them.
You can manage permissions at any time in the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad, and revoke SunSync's access to Health data in the Health app.
5. Weather data
To show the UV index and adjust vitamin D estimates for cloudy days, SunSync requests weather data from Apple's WeatherKit service. To do this, your approximate location is sent to Apple. Apple does not associate this request with your identity. The name of your city is obtained in the same way through Apple's location services.
Weather data is provided by Apple Weather. See the data sources and Apple's Privacy Policy.
6. Analytics, diagnostics and tracking
SunSync uses Firebase, a service provided by Google, to understand app performance, stability and feature usage. Firebase may collect technical information such as device type, operating system version, app version, app usage events and crash diagnostics.
Advertising identifier. SunSync asks for your permission through Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt. If you allow it, your device's advertising identifier is shared with Google Analytics to understand how people find and use SunSync. SunSync does not show ads. If you don't allow it, the advertising identifier is not used and the app works exactly the same. You can change this at any time in Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking.
No data from Apple Health is ever included in analytics, crash reports or any data sent to Firebase. For more details, see Firebase's privacy information.
7. Purchases and subscriptions
SunSync Pro is purchased through the App Store and processed by Apple. SunSync never receives your payment card details.
SunSync uses RevenueCat to manage subscriptions. RevenueCat receives an anonymous app user identifier, your purchase and subscription history, and basic device and app information, so it can confirm which features you have access to. See RevenueCat's Privacy Policy.
Subscription management, billing and refunds are handled according to Apple's systems and policies.
8. Data sharing
SunSync does not sell your personal information. Information is only shared with the following service providers, for the purposes described above:
- Apple: weather data, location names and App Store purchases,
- Google (Firebase): analytics and crash diagnostics,
- RevenueCat: subscription management.
Information may also be disclosed when required by law, or to protect the rights, safety or integrity of the app and its users.
9. Legal basis for processing
If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, SunSync processes your information on the following legal bases:
- Consent: location, Apple Health data, notifications and the advertising identifier. You can withdraw your consent at any time from your device settings.
- Performance of a contract: processing your purchases and giving you access to SunSync Pro.
- Legitimate interest: analytics without the advertising identifier and crash diagnostics, to keep the app stable and improve it.
10. International transfers
Apple, Google and RevenueCat may process data outside the European Economic Area, including in the United States. These providers rely on appropriate safeguards for such transfers, such as the EU–U.S. Data Privacy Framework or the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses.
11. Data retention
Data stored on your device remains there until you delete it in the app or uninstall SunSync.
Technical records held by the service providers above are kept for the period needed to provide their services or to meet legal obligations, according to their own retention policies.
12. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to the processing of your personal information, to data portability, and to withdraw your consent at any time.
Because the data you enter in SunSync stays on your device, you can view, change or delete it directly in the app, or remove it completely by uninstalling the app. For any other request, email sunsyncapp@gmail.com.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection authority. In Spain, this is the Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (AEPD).
13. Children's privacy
SunSync is not directed to children. It does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 14, or under the minimum age required in their country.
14. Changes to this Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. When changes are made, the updated version will be posted on this page with a revised Last updated date.
