WellKept is published by an independent iOS developer (Apple Developer Team ID ZM8LF8494F). For any privacy question, write to captainlongevity@gmail.com.
Is there a WellKept server that holds my test records?
No. There is no WellKept server. Your well, your tests, each contaminant result you enter, your reminders, and your maintenance log live in this app's local store on your iPhone. We cannot read them, restore them, or transfer them.
Does WellKept tell me whether my water is safe to drink?
No. WellKept is a recordkeeping tool, not health or safety advice. It does not tell you whether your water is safe or unsafe to drink and does not interpret any health effect. The only comparison it performs is a factual one: it places the value you entered next to a publicly available EPA or state action level (for example, "above the EPA action level of 10 mg/L"). That is a regulatory fact, not a verdict. For questions about your water and your health, consult your local health department or a water professional. EPA's private-well resources are free at epa.gov/privatewells.
Does the app store my lab reports or photos?
No. WellKept records structured result data only — it has no camera feature and does not store images or files. You keep the lab's PDF report in your own Files, outside WellKept.
Do you collect analytics, crash logs, or device identifiers?
No. There is no analytics SDK, no crash reporter, and no advertising identifier in the binary. We do not know how often you open the app, which screens you visit, or whether you have a paid subscription unless we look up your purchase through Apple's standard developer reports.
Where does the reference content come from?
The contaminant reference — what each contaminant is, the EPA MCL or state action level, and recommended testing frequency — is bundled reference data we update through standard App Store releases. It is general information drawn from publicly available EPA, CDC, and state resources, labeled "not health advice." WellKept makes no API calls to the EPA, CDC, or any government system.
Do you add anything to my iCloud or my Apple ID?
No. WellKept does not declare the iCloud entitlement. There is no CloudKit container and no remote sync of any kind. Your records are included in your standard iOS Backups (iCloud Backup or Finder/iTunes backup) when those are enabled — that is Apple's standard backup behavior for all on-device data, not a WellKept feature.
This data is included in your standard iOS Backups when you have those enabled. We do not have access to your iOS Backups — only Apple does, under their published privacy terms. If you delete the app without an iOS Backup, your data is permanently lost. There is no in-app data export, import, or backup feature beyond Records-PDF generation.
aps-environment entitlement.WellKept offers an optional Pro tier (an annual subscription and a one-time Lifetime purchase) via Apple's StoreKit 2. When you subscribe, restore a purchase, or when the app verifies your entitlement, your device communicates directly with Apple's servers. WellKept receives only the entitlement status (active or inactive) and a purchase identifier. We do not see your Apple ID, payment method, billing address, or transaction history. Apple's handling of subscription information is governed by Apple's Privacy Policy.
You can revoke any permission at any time in iOS Settings > WellKept. WellKept requests no camera, no microphone, no photo library, no location, no HealthKit, and no contacts permission.
WellKept is a personal recordkeeping and reminder utility for private-well owners. It is not a health or medical app and does not use HealthKit; it is not a testing laboratory and does not test your water; and it does not state whether water is safe to drink or interpret any health effect. References to EPA, CDC, and state figures are general information based on publicly available content and are reference-only — EPA's private-well resources are free at epa.gov/privatewells. For questions about your water and your health, consult your local health department or a water professional.
WellKept is a tool intended for U.S. adult homeowners. We do not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children.
Because all data is stored only on your device, you control retention completely. To delete all WellKept data, delete the app from your device (and remove it from any iOS Backups you have saved). There is no remote copy for us to delete.
WellKept is published in English and is marketed in the United States. The reference data (EPA MCLs and state action levels) is U.S.-specific. The app does not transfer your data internationally because it does not transfer your data anywhere.
If a future release ever changes how the app handles data — for example, if a later version ever introduces any sync, analytics, or third-party integration — we will update this policy and surface the change in the app before that feature becomes available. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
