legal — privacy
Your gut data is yours. Full stop.
last updated — March 2026
the short version
Your health data is never sold, never shown to advertisers, and never held hostage — export or delete everything, any time. GutHarbor is a consumer wellness app, not a HIPAA-covered entity, and we say so plainly.
Six promises
- 01Never sold. Your health data is never sold or rented to anyone. Ever.
- 02No ads, no brokers. We earn from subscriptions, not from your data.
- 03Export anytime. Download your full history as JSON whenever you want.
- 04Delete anytime. Remove individual entries or wipe your whole account, permanently.
- 05Encrypted. Industry-standard encryption in transit and at rest.
- 06Honest about what we are. Consumer health data, not a HIPAA-covered entity — and we say so plainly.
What we collect, and why
Only what GutHarbor needs to work for you: what you log (symptoms, meals, stool, medications, sleep, and stress), your account basics (name and email), and privacy-focused, cookieless usage analytics. Your logged data powers the app and your personal insights — nothing more. For subscribers, summaries of your logs are sent to AI providers to generate insights, and that's disclosed clearly.
You're in control
From Settings → Privacy & Data, you can export your complete health history as JSON, delete individual entries, or permanently delete your entire account and everything in it. No emails to send, no hoops.
How we protect it
Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest using industry-standard protections. GutHarbor is a consumer wellness app, not a HIPAA-covered entity — the data you provide is consumer health data, not Protected Health Information. We think you deserve to know the difference.
medical disclaimer
GutHarbor is not a diagnostic tool and never substitutes for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek the advice of your physician or qualified health provider with any questions about a medical condition.
