Privacy Policy and Terms
Last updated: July 7, 2026
This Privacy Policy and Terms document explains how Water Fasting: Beyond, also referred to as Beyond, handles information, how subscriptions and payments work, and the terms that apply when you use the app.
Beyond is a personal fasting companion designed to help you track fasts, water intake, body check-ins, symptoms, sleep, steps, weight, progress photos, reflections, milestones, achievements, and refeed planning. By using Beyond, you agree to the practices and terms described below.
For the purposes of this document:
Application or App refers to Water Fasting: Beyond.
Beyond, Company, we, us, or our refers to Water Fasting: Beyond and its developer.
Device means any device that can access the Application, such as an iPhone or iPad.
Health Data means fasting, wellness, water, symptom, check-in, sleep, step, weight, photo, reflection, activity, or related information that you enter, import, store, or generate in Beyond.
Personal Data means information that relates to an identified or identifiable individual.
Service refers to the Application.
Subscription means an auto-renewable subscription purchased through Apple's in-app purchase system.
You means the individual using the Service.
Beyond may store information that you provide, generate, or save inside the app, including:
If you grant permission, Beyond may read your step count from Apple Health to show movement context during a fast and to calculate daily score components. Beyond does not request Apple Health access unless you choose to connect it during onboarding or from the app. You can change or revoke Apple Health permissions at any time in the Health app or iOS Settings.
Beyond does not sell Apple Health data, use Apple Health data for advertising, use Apple Health data for marketing, or share Apple Health data with data brokers. Beyond currently uses Apple Health data only to provide functionality directly to you inside the app.
If you add progress photos, Beyond may access the camera or photo picker only after you initiate that action and grant the relevant permission. Progress photos are used for your own private tracking and comparison. They are not reviewed by us, sold by us, or used for advertising.
If you choose to save an exported comparison image to your photo library, Beyond may request add-only photo library permission. After an image is saved or shared outside Beyond, the destination app, service, device, or account you choose controls that copy.
If you allow notifications, Beyond may schedule local notifications for fasting checkpoints, milestone celebrations, water progress, check-ins, refeed planning, resume windows, sleep, weight, activity guidance, or other reminders based on your settings and app data. Notifications are generated by your device and may be delayed, silenced, missed, or unavailable depending on iOS permissions, Focus modes, notification settings, battery state, device state, operating system behavior, or other factors.
Notifications are reminders only. They do not create medical supervision, emergency monitoring, or a guarantee that a safety issue will be detected.
Beyond uses Apple's StoreKit and App Store systems to process subscriptions, purchases, trials, renewals, cancellations, refunds, and restore purchases. We do not receive or store your full payment card number. Apple may provide transaction and entitlement status information needed to unlock paid features and manage access.
Beyond may use technical information provided by Apple or your device to operate the app, process subscriptions, store settings, diagnose crashes, support App Store distribution, and keep the app functioning. Beyond does not currently include third-party advertising SDKs or third-party behavioral advertising.
Beyond is designed as a local-first app. Your app data is stored primarily on your device using Apple's app storage technologies. If the app is deleted, local app data may also be deleted from that device unless it exists in an Apple-managed backup or another Apple-managed storage location.
Depending on your device settings, Apple may include app data in encrypted device backups, iCloud backups, device restore flows, diagnostics, or other Apple-controlled systems. Apple controls Apple ID security, backup availability, backup retention, App Store billing systems, and operating system permission interfaces.
Progress comparison images, screenshots, exported images, or other generated files are created on your device. If you choose to save, share, message, email, print, upload, or send a file to another app or service, that copy is handled by the destination you choose. Beyond cannot control privacy or security after you share or export information outside the app.
Beyond uses information you enter, import, or create to:
Beyond does not:
Before starting any fast, especially a fast longer than a typical overnight fast, you should consult a qualified healthcare professional who understands your medical history, medications, age, weight, pregnancy or breastfeeding status, diet, activity level, and health conditions. This is especially important for prolonged fasts, repeated fasts, water-only fasts, or fasts longer than 24 hours.
You choose whether to start, continue, pause, end, resume, or repeat a fast. You choose what to drink, whether to use electrolytes, how active to be, when to sleep, when to stop, how to refeed, and when to seek medical care. Beyond may display information, reminders, checklists, stop signals, or scores, but those displays do not mean Beyond has verified that fasting is safe for you.
Do not use Beyond to decide whether fasting is appropriate if you are under 18, pregnant, breastfeeding, underweight, malnourished, recovering from illness or surgery, highly active in a way that requires reliable fueling, or if you have a history of disordered eating, diabetes, hypoglycemia, kidney disease, heart disease, liver disease, gout, gallbladder disease, fainting, seizures, electrolyte disorders, blood pressure problems, or any condition affected by food, fluid, minerals, or medication timing.
If you take insulin, glucose-lowering medication, blood pressure medication, diuretics, psychiatric medication, seizure medication, blood thinners, heart medication, kidney medication, or any medication that may be affected by food intake, hydration, electrolytes, caffeine, or fasting, speak with a healthcare professional before fasting or changing timing.
Stop fasting and seek medical attention if you experience fainting, near-fainting, chest pain, confusion, severe weakness, seizure, shortness of breath, rapid or irregular heartbeat, severe or worsening headache, persistent vomiting, severe dizziness, severe dehydration signs, inability to keep fluids down, new neurological symptoms, or any symptom that feels serious, unusual, worsening, or unsafe.
Beyond may show general informational content about water, unsweetened drinks, black coffee, tea, minerals, electrolytes, or refeed planning. This content is not a prescription, nutrition plan, electrolyte protocol, or medical instruction. You are responsible for confirming with a healthcare professional what is appropriate for your body, medications, health status, and fast duration.
Ending a long fast can carry risk if food is restarted too quickly or without an appropriate plan. Beyond may display refeed-planning information, but it does not supervise refeeding, diagnose refeeding risk, prescribe foods, or calculate individual medical needs. For prolonged fasts, repeated fasts, undernutrition, rapid weight loss, or any medical condition, consult a qualified healthcare professional before ending or restarting food.
Scores, charts, check-ins, trend lines, achievements, progress estimates, water progress, steps, sleep, weight changes, photo comparisons, and recommended next actions depend on the information available in the app. They may be wrong, incomplete, delayed, duplicated, stale, or misleading if entries are missing, inaccurate, imported incorrectly, manually entered incorrectly, or not updated.
Beyond may rely on Apple services and frameworks, including iOS, SwiftData or app storage, Apple Health, HealthKit, Photos, Camera, UserNotifications, StoreKit, App Store subscriptions, App Store transaction systems, App Store review prompts, Apple diagnostics, and Apple device backup or restore systems.
Your use of Apple services is also governed by Apple's terms, privacy policies, and settings. We do not control Apple's systems, Apple ID security, Health app permission screens, App Store billing, subscription cancellation flow, refund decisions, notification delivery, device backups, or operating system behavior.
Beyond may offer monthly and yearly auto-renewable subscriptions. Subscription prices, trial availability, billing periods, renewal terms, currency, taxes, and promotional offers may vary by country, App Store storefront, Apple account, eligibility, and time.
If a free trial or introductory offer is available and you start it, Apple may automatically renew the subscription at the end of the trial or offer period unless you cancel before the renewal deadline shown by Apple. You are responsible for reviewing the App Store purchase sheet and Apple subscription settings.
You can manage or cancel subscriptions in your Apple ID subscription settings. Deleting Beyond does not automatically cancel an active subscription. Refunds, billing questions, trial eligibility, renewal timing, and cancellation effects are handled by Apple under App Store rules.
Beyond may include a restore purchases option that asks Apple for current entitlement information. Restore availability depends on your Apple ID, App Store status, network connectivity, subscription state, and Apple's systems.
Unless Beyond provides a separate custom end user license agreement for a specific distribution, your licensed use of the app is also governed by Apple's standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement, available at https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/.
You can grant, deny, or revoke Apple Health permissions in the Health app or iOS Settings. If you revoke access, Beyond may stop importing new step data, but previously saved step entries may remain in Beyond until you delete them inside the app or delete app data.
You can turn notifications on or off in iOS Settings. If notifications are disabled, fasting reminders, checkpoint notifications, refeed reminders, and other alerts may not appear.
You can control camera and photo library permissions in iOS Settings. Photos already saved in Beyond remain in app storage unless you delete them in Beyond or delete app data.
You can delete many entries directly inside Beyond, including fast history, weight logs, progress photos, reflections, and related records where the app provides a delete action. You can also delete the app from your device. Some information may remain in Apple backups, exported files, shared images, screenshots, messages, emails, or third-party destinations that you control or selected.
You are responsible for protecting your device, passcode, Face ID or Touch ID access, Apple ID, iCloud settings, backups, shared devices, and exported files. If another person can access your unlocked device or Apple account, they may be able to view app data.
Beyond does not sell your Personal Data or Health Data. Beyond does not share Apple Health data for advertising or marketing. Beyond may share or make limited information available only in these situations:
Beyond uses Apple's platform security features, app sandboxing, local device storage, HealthKit permission controls, photo permission controls, notification permission controls, and App Store purchase systems. No method of storage or transmission is perfectly secure. You are responsible for protecting your device, passcode, Apple ID, iCloud account, device backups, exported files, shared images, and any device where your data may appear.
Beyond depends on the information you enter, import, or approve. Fasting times, water logs, step counts, sleep logs, check-ins, symptoms, weight entries, progress photos, refeed guidance, and notification schedules may be wrong if the underlying data is wrong, incomplete, duplicated, delayed, stale, or affected by Apple system behavior.
Beyond may change, pause, remove, or modify features over time. We do not guarantee that the app will always be available, uninterrupted, error-free, medically appropriate, or compatible with every device, operating system version, health condition, fasting goal, or personal need.
Beyond is not intended for children or minors. Do not use Beyond if you are under 18. Fasting may be inappropriate or unsafe for minors unless directly supervised by qualified healthcare professionals and guardians. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through our own servers.
Beyond may be used in different countries, but medical standards, fasting guidance, nutrition practices, emergency care access, privacy rules, consumer protection rules, and subscription rules vary by location. You are responsible for using Beyond only in ways that comply with laws and medical guidance applicable to you.
We may update this Privacy Policy and Terms from time to time. The updated version will be identified by the "Last updated" date. Continued use of Beyond after an update means you accept the updated document.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Beyond and its developer are not liable for fasting decisions, medical decisions, delayed medical care, failure to seek medical care, dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, fainting, injury, symptom progression, refeeding issues, medication timing issues, weight changes, missed notifications, delayed notifications, incorrect entries, incorrect calculations, missing data, imported step errors, deleted data, exported file handling, App Store billing decisions, Apple system behavior, or outcomes related to your fast, health, nutrition, hydration, medication, activity, sleep, weight, or use of the app.
You agree that you are responsible for checking all health-related information with qualified healthcare professionals, for using your own judgment, and for seeking urgent care when symptoms or circumstances require it.
