Privacy Policy

Last Updated: March 25, 2026

AW Builds ("we," "our," or "us") operates the Hydra mobile application (the "App"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our App. Please read this policy carefully. By using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

1. Information We Collect

a) Information You Provide

All personal data you enter into the App — including your name, weight, daily hydration goal, and drink logs — is stored locally on your device. We do not transmit, collect, or store this data on any external server.

b) Automatically Collected Information

When you use the App, certain information may be collected automatically through integrated third-party services:

Analytics Data: We use Google Firebase Analytics to collect anonymized usage data such as app opens, screen views, feature usage frequency, session duration, and device type. This data is used solely to improve app performance and user experience. It does not include personally identifiable information.

Crash Reports: We use Firebase Crashlytics to automatically collect crash logs and diagnostic data. This helps us identify and fix bugs. Crash reports may include device state, operating system version, and stack traces, but do not contain personal data.

Advertising Data: We use Google AdMob to serve advertisements. AdMob may collect and use device advertising identifiers, IP address, and interaction data to serve personalized or non-personalized ads based on your preferences.

Cloud Backups: If you use the Google Drive Sync feature, the data is stored in your personal, hidden Google Drive AppData folder. We do not have access to these backups, and they are strictly bound to your Google account.

c) Information from Push Notifications

We use Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) to deliver push notifications such as hydration reminders. To enable this, Firebase may associate a device token with your device. We do not use this token to identify you personally.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information described above for the following purposes:

• To provide, maintain, and improve the App's functionality.
• To deliver hydration reminders and push notifications.
• To display advertisements via Google AdMob.
• To analyze aggregated, anonymized usage patterns to improve user experience.
• To diagnose and fix technical issues using crash reports.
• To process in-app purchases and manage subscription status through Google Play Billing.
• To seamlessly create and restore automatic cross-device backups of your hydration data using the Google Drive AppData Scope (if enabled).

3. In-App Purchases & Subscriptions

Hydra offers optional premium subscriptions (Monthly, Yearly, Lifetime) processed entirely through the Google Play Store. We do not collect, process, or store any payment information. All billing is handled securely by Google. Please refer to Google's Privacy Policy for details on how payment data is handled.

4. Data Storage & Security

Your hydration data is stored locally on your device using an encrypted local database. If you choose to use the backup/export feature, data is saved to a location you specify (e.g., local storage). We do not have access to your backups.

We implement commercially reasonable security measures to protect your information. However, no method of electronic storage or transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

5. Third-Party Services

The App integrates the following third-party services, each with their own privacy policies:

• Google Play Services
• Firebase (Analytics, Crashlytics, Cloud Messaging, Remote Config)
• Google AdMob
• Unity Ads

6. Permissions

The App may request the following device permissions:

• Internet: Required for displaying ads, analytics, and syncing remote configuration.
• Notifications: To send scheduled hydration reminders.
• Vibration: To provide haptic feedback on user interactions.
• Storage (Android 12 and below): To create and restore data backups.
• Boot Completed: To reschedule reminders after device restart.

7. Children's Privacy

The App is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

8. Your Rights

Since all personal data is stored locally on your device, you have full control over it at all times. You may delete all app data by clearing the App's storage or uninstalling it. For data collected by third-party services such as Firebase and AdMob, please refer to their respective privacy policies for information on how to manage or delete that data.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
