Kelvin

Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy

Effective date: June 27, 2026

Overview

Kelvin ("Kelvin," "the App") is developed by Adelyons Software LLC ("we," "us," or "our"). Kelvin is a hardware-agnostic, local-first cold-exposure companion: a plunge timer (breath-up, a plunge countdown with a first-30s cold-shock safety coach, and a guided warm-up), a session log with history, streaks and a calendar heatmap, a breathwork trainer, and adaptation insights. It works with any cold source — ice bath, cold shower, lake, or tub. This policy explains how the App handles your information.

The short version: Kelvin is local-first. There is no account, no login, and no cloud backend. All of the information you enter — every session, temperature, duration, note, and streak — is stored only on your device and never leaves your phone. The single exception is purchase and subscription data, which is handled by Apple, Google, and RevenueCat solely to validate an optional Kelvin+ purchase. We never receive, sell, or have access to your data.

Not medical advice. Kelvin is a self-tracking and timing tool. It does not diagnose, treat, or prevent any condition and is not a substitute for professional medical advice. Cold exposure carries real risks — cold shock, afterdrop, and (with breath-holds in or near water) shallow-water blackout. Never do breath-holds in or near water. Consult a doctor before starting, especially with a heart condition, high blood pressure, or during pregnancy.

Information Stored On Your Device

The following is created and stored locally on your device only, in a private database (SQLite) within the App. It is not transmitted to us or to any server:

Because this data lives only on your device, it is removed when you delete an entry in the App, clear the App's data, or uninstall the App.

No Account & No Cloud

Optional Purchases (Kelvin+)

Kelvin's core — the plunge timer, the cold-shock safety coach and guardrails, and the session log — is free forever, with an optional Kelvin+ upgrade. Purchases are the only feature that involves any data leaving your device, and they are handled by trusted providers:

If you never make a purchase, no purchase-related data is sent. Subscription terms (including auto-renewal) are described in our Terms of Service, and are also governed by Apple's Media Services Terms and Google Play's Terms of Service.

On-Device AI Coach Digest

The optional Kelvin+ coach digest is powered by a small language model (Gemma 3 1B, via flutter_gemma) that runs entirely on your device. To keep the install small, the model is downloaded only if you opt in the first time you use the feature (roughly 500 MB), from the model provider's servers. After that, the digest is generated locally and is scoped to summarizing your own logs — a plain-language recap of your week and a next-week ramp. It is not an open-ended chatbot. Your session data is never sent anywhere to produce the digest, and on devices that can't run the model the feature is simply hidden. The download itself transfers the model to your phone; none of your data is uploaded in the process.

What We Do NOT Collect

Data Retention & Deletion

Because your sessions, streaks, protocols, insights, goals, and notes are stored only on your device, you control them directly and they are kept for as long as you keep them:

Security

Your data stays within the App's private storage on your device, protected by your device's operating system. Communication with the App Store, Google Play, and RevenueCat for purchase handling — and the one-time AI model download, if you opt in — uses encrypted (TLS) connections. No system can guarantee absolute security, but keeping your data on-device means there is no central database of your information to breach.

Children's Privacy

Kelvin is intended for adults practicing cold exposure responsibly. The App is not directed to children under 13 (or under 16 where applicable), and it does not request that children provide information to us. Because everything is local and we operate no server, we do not knowingly collect any personal information from anyone — there is nowhere for such data to be sent to us. If you believe a child has somehow provided information that reached us (which our architecture is designed to prevent), contact us using the details below and we will help.

Your Rights

Privacy laws such as the GDPR (EU/EEA/UK) and CCPA/CPRA (California) give you rights to access, correct, delete, and port your personal data, and to opt out of its sale. Because Kelvin does not collect or store your personal data on our servers, we hold nothing about you to disclose, correct, or sell. You can exercise full control over your in-app data using the deletion and export options above. For any purchase data held by Apple, Google, or RevenueCat, contact those providers or reach us using the details below and we will help.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as the App evolves. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Effective date" above and, where appropriate, through an in-app notice. Continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
