1. Information We Collect

Account and profile information

When you create or manage an AQUAME account, we may collect your name, email address, authentication information, account identifiers, login method, profile image, language, measurement units, time format, timezone, and account status.

Health, fitness, and hydration information

We collect information used to calculate and display hydration goals, including height, weight, gender, date of birth, activity level, hydration target, water consumption records, water temperature, drink time, daily progress, last drink time, and hydration history. If you choose to connect a supported health service, we may access information you permit, such as activity or active calorie data, to personalize your hydration goal.

Location information

With your permission, we collect location information, including approximate or precise latitude and longitude, to use local weather conditions when calculating hydration goals and to provide localized app functionality.

We may collect app and device identifiers, push notification tokens, Bluetooth connection information, smart bottle name and identifier, serial number or MAC-like identifier, firmware version, battery status, water level, water temperature, sterilization status, reminder settings, and related bottle telemetry.

Photos and files

If you choose to upload a profile image or another supported file, we collect and store that file to provide the requested feature.

Diagnostics and service information

We may collect technical information such as app heartbeat time, firmware update status, firmware versions, error messages, OTA diagnostic logs, and server logs to operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve AQUAME.

4. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share information with service providers only where necessary to provide authentication, cloud hosting and storage, email delivery, push notifications, weather-based features, technical support, security, diagnostics, and other AQUAME functionality. We may also disclose information where required by law, to protect the rights and safety of users or others, or in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or transfer of the business.

5. App Permissions and Your Choices

AQUAME may request permission to use Bluetooth, location, notifications, camera or photos, and supported health information. Optional information is collected only after you provide the relevant permission or choose to use the corresponding feature. You can review or withdraw permissions through your device settings. Some app or smart bottle features may not operate correctly if a required permission is disabled.

6. Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information. These measures include authenticated access, restricted access to backend systems, secure cloud infrastructure, and encrypted network transmission through HTTPS/TLS. No method of electronic transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to provide the AQUAME application and connected smart bottle services, maintain your account, display hydration history, provide support, protect the security of our services, and comply with applicable legal obligations. Temporary verification information is retained only as needed to complete account verification or password-reset processes.

8. Account and Data Deletion
