Privacy Policy

Effective date: May 6, 2026

Verum ("we", "our", "us") operates the Verum mobile application. This policy describes what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices regarding your data.

2. How We Use Your Information

3. Third-Party Services

We share data with the following services only as necessary to operate Verum:

ServicePurposeData shared
WhoopHealth data syncOAuth tokens; we read your data from their API
BodySpecDEXA scan syncOAuth tokens; we read your scan data from their API
Anthropic (Claude API)AI insight generationHealth metrics (including Whoop recovery, sleep, strain, workouts), nutrition logs, and body-composition data, sent as prompts to generate your personal insights. Anthropic's commercial API does not use prompts or responses to train its models.
ResendEmail deliveryYour email address (for magic link authentication)
ExpoPush notificationsDevice push token and notification content

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with advertisers or data brokers.

4. Apple HealthKit

Data read from Apple HealthKit is used solely to provide personalized health insights within the app. We do not use HealthKit data for advertising or share it with third parties other than the AI processing service described above, which uses it only to generate your personal insights. HealthKit data is not stored in iCloud.

5. Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored in a PostgreSQL database hosted on secured infrastructure. OAuth tokens from connected services are encrypted at rest using AES-GCM. All network communication uses TLS encryption.

6. Data Retention

We retain your data for as long as your account is active. When you delete your account from within the app (Settings → Delete account), we immediately and permanently remove your user record and all directly associated personal data — including logs, scans, lab reports, peptide protocols, insights, connected-service tokens, and push notification tokens — from our primary database. Encrypted database backups are retained for 30 days and overwritten on rolling rotation; any residual copies in those backups are purged as part of that rotation and are never restored to production.

Two narrow exceptions apply:

Deleting your Verum account does not delete data that Apple stores inside the Apple Health app on your device, nor data held by Whoop or BodySpec in their own systems. You control those independently: revoke HealthKit access in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Health → Verum, and revoke Whoop / BodySpec access through those providers' account pages.

7. Your Rights

You may, at any time:

If you are located in the EU/EEA, California, or another jurisdiction with applicable data protection laws, you may also have the right to data portability, correction, restriction of processing, and to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

8. Children's Privacy

Verum is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by email or through the app. The "Effective date" at the top indicates when the policy was last revised.
