Privacy Policy

Effective 22 October 2026

Mowi is a wellness app for tracking workouts, nutrition, sleep, mindfulness and other parts of your health. This policy explains what data Mowi collects, why, who it is shared with, and the choices you have. In short: your data is used only to run the app for you. Mowi has no ads, does not sell your data and does not use analytics or tracking tools.

Who we are

Mowi is developed and operated by Ahmet Emre Mat, the data controller for the purposes of this policy. You can reach us at support@getmowi.com.

Data we collect

Account

Your email address and password (stored only as a secure hash by our authentication provider).

Profile and body

Your first and last name, date of birth, sex, height, weight, body fat, neck, waist and hip measurements, nutrition goals and target weight.

What you log in the app

• Workouts, workout plans, sets, weights and rest times
• Running, walking, hiking, cycling and swimming activities, including the GPS route when you use live tracking, and the routes you save to My Routes
• Training plans for running, walking, cycling and swimming, created from your answers (level, goal, training days and current fitness)
• Meals, foods, recipes, water intake and products you add or scan
• Sleep entries, fasts, meditation and breathing sessions
• Moods, journal entries and habits
• Medications and supplements, their schedules and the doses you check off
• Menstrual cycle data, including period days, flow and intimacy days, if you use cycle tracking
• Progress photos, if you add them

Much of this is health data, a special category of personal data. Mowi processes it only because you enter it and ask the app to store it, and only to show it back to you.

Location

If you allow it, Mowi uses your location to show the local weather and, during live tracking, to record your route. For the weather, your coordinates are rounded to about 1 km before they leave your device. Your location is not stored for the weather. Routes are stored only as part of the activity you save.

If you allow location access “Always”, live tracking keeps recording your route while the screen is locked or the app is in the background. Mowi uses your location in the background only while you are recording an activity, and stops as soon as you finish or leave it.

Apple Health

If you connect Apple Health, Mowi reads two kinds of data from it: your step count and your sleep analysis. It never writes anything to Apple Health.

• Steps are read to show your daily and weekly step counts. They are shown on your device and are not sent to or stored on our servers.
• Last night's sleep is read to suggest bedtime and wake-up times in the sleep form. It is stored only if you save that entry, like any sleep entry you log yourself.

Data from Apple Health is never used for advertising or marketing, never sold and never shared with anyone. You can turn access off at any time in Settings › Privacy & Security › Health › Mowi.

Lock Screen and Dynamic Island

While a rest, run, meditation or breathing session is running, Mowi shows its timer on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, together with the session's name and, for runs, the distance and pace. Anyone who can see your phone can see this. It is created on your device and disappears when the session ends. You can turn it off in Settings › Mowi › Live Activities.

Camera and photos

The camera is used to scan barcodes and take progress photos. Photo library access is used only for the progress photos you choose. Barcode scans are not stored as images.

On your device only

Your language, appearance setting, chosen weather city, water, workout and bedtime reminder settings, steps from Apple Health and a cached copy of the news bulletin are kept only on your device.

How we use your data

• To create and secure your account and keep you signed in
• To store what you log and show it back to you, including charts, summaries, plans and suggestions calculated from your own data
• To send reminders you turn on (medications, water, workouts, bedtime, fasting). These are scheduled on your device
• To send account emails, such as password reset codes

We do not use your data for advertising, profiling or automated decisions, and we do not sell or rent it to anyone.

Legal basis (EEA, UK and Switzerland)

We process your account and app data to provide the service you asked for (performance of a contract). We process health data on the basis of your explicit consent, which you give by entering it into the app. You can withdraw consent at any time by deleting the data or your account.

Service providers

We use a small number of providers to run Mowi. They process data only on our instructions or only as needed for the request:

• Supabase – database, authentication and photo storage. All your account and app data is stored here.
• Resend – sends account emails (your email address and the email content).
• Open-Meteo – weather forecasts and city search (rounded coordinates or the city name you search for).
• Open Food Facts – product lookup when you scan a barcode (the barcode number only).
• Expo – delivers app updates to your device.
• News sources – the bulletin loads public articles from ScienceDaily, The Nutrition Source (Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health) and Mindful. Opening an article takes you to their website.

Like any website, these services can see your device's IP address when the app connects to them. Some providers may process data outside your country. Where required, such transfers are protected by appropriate safeguards such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.

Security

Data is encrypted in transit. Each user's records are protected by access rules in the database so that only you can read them, and progress photos are kept in private storage. No method of storage is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your data and will notify you as required by law if a breach affects it.

Retention and deletion

We keep your data for as long as you have an account. You can delete individual entries at any time. When you delete your account in Profile › Settings › Account › Delete My Account, your account, all your records and your photos are deleted permanently. Copies in our providers' backups are overwritten within 30 days.

Your rights

You can access, correct, export or delete your data, object to or restrict its processing, and withdraw consent. Most of this can be done directly in the app. Download My Data in Profile › Settings › Account gives you a full copy in JSON format. For anything else, email support@getmowi.com and we will respond within 30 days. You also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.

Children

Mowi is not intended for children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect data from them. If you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we will delete it.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we will update the date above. If the changes are significant, we will also let you know in the app before they take effect.
