Summary

Hydropal helps you understand and track your daily hydration, caffeine, and alcohol intake. It’s designed for general wellness and lifestyle use — not as medical advice. By using Hydropal, you agree to these terms, so you should read them carefully.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, or using Hydropal (the “App”), or the website at gethydropal.com (the “Website”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (the “Terms”) and all applicable laws and regulations. If you access the App through your Apple ID, your use of Hydropal is also subject to Apple’s App Store Terms and Conditions.

We may update these Terms from time to time. Your continued use Hydropal means you accept the revised Terms.

2. Use of the App and Website

  • Hydropal is intended for personal, non-commercial use.
  • You must use Hydropal lawfully and in accordance with these Terms.
  • Hydropal is not directed to children under 13, and users must have the legal capacity to enter into this agreement in their country.
  • You may create a local profile on your device. This data stays on your device and can optionally be synced via iCloud if enabled.
  • The App may not function properly if your device is jailbroken, rooted, or modified.

We reserve the right to suspend or discontinue Hydropal at any time.

3. Health and Wellness Disclaimer

Hydropal is a lifestyle and informational tool only. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always listen to your body and consult a qualified healthcare professional before making significant changes to your fluid intake or health habits.

Hydropal’s hydration recommendations are estimates based on general formulas. They may not suit every individual, and we make no guarantees about accuracy, completeness, or fitness for any particular purpose.

Hydropal does not take into account personal health conditions, medical requirements, age, fitness level, medications, or any other factors that may affect your hydration needs.

By using Hydropal, you agree that you do so at your own risk.

4. Subscriptions and Purchases

Hydropal offers optional Pro features available via Apple’s in-app purchase system on a monthly or yearly basis.

  • Billing, renewals, and cancellations are managed by Apple, not by Hydropal directly.
  • You can manage or cancel your subscription in your App Store account settings.
  • Refunds are subject to Apple’s policies.
  • We may modify the features or pricing of Hydropal Pro at any time; any changes will take effect after your current billing period unless otherwise required by Apple.

5. Data and Integrations

Hydropal connects to Apple Health (HealthKit) to provide a better hydration experience.

  • With your permission, Hydropal can read your activity data (e.g. steps, workouts) and write your hydration, caffeine, and alcohol consumption to Apple Health.
  • You can control these permissions at any time in your device’s Health settings.
  • Hydropal does not share your HealthKit data with third parties.

Hydropal uses PostHog Analytics to understand general app usage and improve the product. Data collected through PostHog is anonymous and non-personal, linked only to a random installation identifier.

For more information about how Hydropal handles your data, see the Privacy Policy.

6. Intellectual Property

All content, code, images, branding, and design within Hydropal and the Website are owned by Francesco Compagnoni and are protected by intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, reverse-engineer, or distribute any part of Hydropal except as permitted by law or under an open-source license explicitly referenced within the App.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law:

  • Hydropal is provided “as is” and without any warranty of any kind, express or implied.
  • We do not guarantee that the App will always be accurate, reliable, available, or error-free.
  • We are not liable for any injury, loss, or direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages resulting from your use of, reliance on, or inability to use Hydropal, including hydration or health-related outcomes.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain liability exclusions, so parts of this clause may not apply to you.

8. Termination and Misuse

Although Hydropal does not currently include accounts or social features, we reserve the right to suspend or discontinue the App, or your access to it, at any time if you misuse it, attempt to tamper with it, or violate these Terms.

We also reserve the right to change or remove features at any time.

9. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms and any disputes arising from them are governed by the laws of England and Wales. If any part of these Terms is found invalid, the remaining sections continue to apply.

10. Language

If these Terms are translated into other languages, the English version will prevail in case of conflict.
