Nothing leaves your phone
unless you tell it to.
Glyde was built by GLP patients who wanted a private place to log therapy — not another app quietly building a profile on them. Here's exactly what that means, in plain language.
Data we collect
Only what you type in — and it stays on your device.
Glyde doesn't require an account, an email address, or a login, so we have no way to identify who is using the app. Everything you log — doses, weight, meals, side effects, journal entries, photos — is stored in the app's local database on your phone.
We do not operate a server that receives, stores, or processes your health data. There is no Glyde database of user information, because there is no account system to attach one to.
Apple Health
Optional, permissioned, and never leaves the HealthKit sandbox.
If you choose to connect Apple Health, Glyde reads and writes data through Apple's HealthKit framework only, and only for the data types you explicitly authorize in the iOS permission prompt. Glyde does not transmit HealthKit data off your device, and you can revoke access at any time in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Health.
iCloud backup
Selective, encrypted, and readable only by you.
Glyde+ offers an optional backup feature that stores a selective, end-to-end encrypted copy of your data (excluding photos) in your personal iCloud account. This backup is encrypted such that only you — via your own Apple ID — can decrypt and read it. We have no access to it.
Turning this feature off, or deleting the backup from your iCloud storage settings, removes the backed-up copy.
Advertising & analytics
None embedded in the app.
Glyde does not include third-party advertising networks, ad-tracking SDKs, or behavioral analytics libraries. We don't run ads, so there's nothing to target them with. Apple's own aggregate, anonymized App Store analytics (App Analytics in App Store Connect) may still apply at the platform level, entirely outside our control and not tied to your identity.
Payments
Handled entirely by Apple.
Glyde+ is purchased as an in-app purchase processed by Apple's App Store. We never see or store your payment card details — Apple handles billing, receipts, and refunds directly.
Children's privacy
Glyde is not directed at children.
Glyde is intended for adults managing their own GLP therapy and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children, and because the app requires no account or personal identifiers to function, we have no practical way to do so.
Your control
Delete the app, delete the data.
- Uninstalling Glyde removes all locally stored data from your device.
- Disabling and deleting an iCloud backup (if you enabled one) removes the encrypted copy from iCloud.
- Revoking HealthKit permissions in iOS Settings stops any further Health data exchange immediately.
Changes
We'll update this date when anything material changes.
If our data practices change, we'll update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of Glyde after a change is posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
