GoutLog

Privacy Policy

Effective date: June 17, 2026 · Last updated: June 17, 2026

Privacy-first by design. All your entries stay on your device. We do not collect, transmit, store on our servers, sync, share, or sell your information. There is no analytics, no advertising, and no third-party tracking.

Who we are

GoutLog ("the app", "we") is provided by Softgrove, an independent developer based in Japan. Contact: softgrove@duck.com.

What data the app handles

You may record meals, foods, beverages, uric acid levels, flare events, daily factors (stress, hydration, medications), and notes ("your entries"). Your entries are stored only locally on your device using Apple's on-device database, protected with iOS file protection. We never receive this data.

We do not collect: name, email, account credentials (the app has no account), location, contacts, advertising identifiers, or usage analytics.

Health information

Your entries may relate to your health. Because this information never leaves your device through us — we do not access, transmit, or share it — we are not in a position to use it for any purpose. You remain in control: you can export or delete all entries at any time in Settings.

For Washington State residents (My Health My Data Act): we do not collect, process, share, or sell "consumer health data." Your entries are stored solely on your device under your control.

Export and deletion

Export: You can export your entries as a file from Settings. Once you export and share a file, that copy is under your control and outside the app.
Delete: You can permanently delete all entries at any time from Settings → Delete All Data. Deleting the app also removes its on-device data.

Subscriptions and payments

Premium subscriptions are sold and processed by Apple through the App Store. We do not receive or store your payment information. Apple's handling of your purchase is governed by Apple's Privacy Policy.

Notifications

If you enable reminders, the app schedules local notifications on your device. No notification data is sent to us or any third party.

Children

GoutLog is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age in your region) and collects no information from anyone.

Third parties

The app uses only Apple system frameworks. There are no third-party SDKs, analytics, advertising networks, or external servers.

Changes

We may update this policy. Material changes will be reflected here with a new "Last updated" date.
