What the app stores

Henry stores the information you enter: chosen metrics, symptom and wellbeing scores, on/off observations, notes, entry dates and time ranges. Your settings, onboarding choices, reminder preferences, and pinned statistics are also saved locally so the app can work as you configure it.

These records support check-ins, history, statistics, and reminders. There is no developer-operated server or account holding a copy of your logs, and Henry does not implement its own cloud sync. The developer cannot remotely read or recover your entries.

Optional Apple Health access

Henry works without Apple Health. If you enable it, Henry requests read-only access to the categories you choose. Supported categories are sleep, heart rate, steps, active energy, workouts, body weight, blood glucose, oxygen saturation, and water intake.

Henry uses permitted data on your device to show summaries and descriptive associations alongside your manual scores. It does not write to Health, turn Health samples into log entries, store them in the app’s log database, or include raw Health samples in CSV exports. Health data is not sent to the developer or used for advertising, marketing, or data brokerage.

You can turn off the integration in Henry’s Settings and change its permissions in Apple Health. See Apple’s guidance on managing Health data and app access.

Exports and sharing

Sharing happens when you choose it. A CSV export contains live manual logs and can include notes and other sensitive information you entered. A shared Stats text summary may include Health-derived association text when Health is enabled, even though raw Health samples are excluded from CSV.

The apps, people, or storage providers you choose receive what you share. Their handling of that information is outside Henry’s control. Keep exported files somewhere you trust and review their contents before sharing.

Widgets, reminders, and backups

The Home Screen widget receives a small local snapshot of logging status, streak, and the last logged day through storage shared with the app. It does not open the full log database. Reminders are local notifications scheduled through Apple’s system, with your permission; they do not use a remote notification server.

Your device’s backup or transfer features may include app data, depending on your Apple and device settings. This is separate from Henry’s own storage, and the developer cannot access or manage those backups. Apple’s handling of backups, Health, App Store activity, and any diagnostics you share with Apple is governed by Apple’s policies and your system settings.

Retention and your controls

Your local records remain until you remove the app data. You can edit entries, stop tracking a metric while keeping its history, and export live manual logs.

Deleting an entry in Henry currently archives it. It disappears from live history, statistics, and CSV exports, but its underlying record remains in local storage. Archiving a metric likewise preserves historical records. Henry does not currently offer an in-app permanent erase-all control.

To remove the app’s local data, use the system’s Delete App option rather than Offload App. Backups and files you have exported or shared are separate copies and need to be managed separately. Removing Henry does not delete your source data from Apple Health. Contact the developer if you need help understanding these controls; there is no server copy for the developer to erase or restore.

This website

This site does not ask for health information, set application cookies, use browser storage, or include analytics, advertising pixels, third-party fonts, or embedded media. Following the App Store or another external link takes you to a service with its own privacy policy.

Cloudflare hosts and delivers the site. It processes technical request information, which can include IP addresses and traffic information, to deliver and protect its services. This is separate from the Henry app and does not give the website access to your check-ins. See Cloudflare’s privacy policy for its handling of visitor information.

If you contact the developer

Emailing support shares your email address and whatever you include with Jonathan Bertholet and the email services used to deliver the conversation. This information is used to respond and handle your request. It is kept only as long as needed for that purpose and any applicable legal obligations.

Please avoid sending symptom histories, raw Health data, or unredacted exports unless needed for a request you choose to make. You can ask for deletion of support correspondence. Depending on your location, you may also have rights to access, correct, restrict, or object to processing of personal information held by the developer, and to complain to your local data protection authority. Contact the address below to make a request.

Changes to this policy

This page will be updated if Henry’s data practices change. The effective date above identifies the current policy.
