Foleil Privacy Policy

Version 14 · Effective 14 October 2026

The current version of this policy, its number and its effective date are always at https://foleil.app/privacy.

Foleil is made by Nemvist Pty Ltd (ABN 44 701 765 344), of Victoria, Australia. In this policy, "we" and "us" mean Nemvist Pty Ltd, and "Foleil" means the Foleil iPhone app, its Apple Watch app, its widgets, controls and Live Activities, its Messages extension (Foleil Together), its share extension and the server that runs Sprout's AI. The email sign-up on the foleil.app website has its own notice, at https://foleil.app/signup-privacy.

This policy explains what information Foleil uses, where it is kept, who receives it and why, how long it is kept, and the choices you have. Each kind of information is used only for the purposes described here.

The short version

Your agreement

The screen "Your consent for Sprout's AI" appears at setup and later when an agreement is needed before AI use, or when you choose to turn Sprout's AI on. It explains what Sprout's AI uses, what it is used for and where it goes, and links to this policy. By tapping Agree, you consent to Foleil using your information and sending it to our AI provider as described in "Sprout's AI" below, including your health information and other sensitive information, in both requests you start and automatic requests for strength progression, reactions, the daily summary and the nightly sleep observation. Foleil keeps a local record of your current AI choice, with the time and policy version of any agreement and the time of any recorded decline or withdrawal. Choosing Not now at setup or on a required later consent prompt records the choice to leave Sprout's AI off; choosing Not now when it is already off leaves it off. Turning it on requires a fresh Agree, which replaces the earlier withdrawal with a new agreement. The record is kept on your iPhone and included in the encrypted backups and full exports described below. A local copy for background operation is kept in the app's preferences, which your iPhone's backup can include. You can choose Not now at the bottom of the consent screen, during setup or when it appears later, to leave Sprout's AI off and use Foleil's on-device features, as described under "When it isn't available". Turning "Use Sprout's AI" on later shows the consent screen and requires Agree before requests start. You can withdraw consent with that switch in Settings, as described below.

Foleil asks for each iPhone and Apple Watch permission (such as Apple Health, location, camera or notifications) through iOS's own prompts. You can decline any of them; the features that need that permission then don't work, and the rest of Foleil does.

If we make a material change to this policy, Foleil asks you to agree again before the change applies to you (see "Changes to this policy").

What Foleil keeps, and where

On your iPhone

Foleil keeps the records below in its own store on your iPhone, using what you enter, permitted readings and its own calculations. Some Apple Health readings are used as temporary analysis state rather than saved as permanent original records:

This store is kept where only Foleil can open it. It is excluded from your iPhone's backups (the encrypted copy below is how your records reach a backup) and is not synced through iCloud. Health documents and several other files beside it are stored with complete file protection, so they can be opened only while your iPhone is unlocked.

Preferences. Some settings are kept in Foleil's settings rather than its store, and your iPhone's backup carries them as they are. Most are switches. Others record what Foleil has learned from your routine (each suggestion you accepted or put away, which can name a food you often log or a goal's title) and which celebrations it has shown. You can clear what Foleil has learned under Progress, What Foleil has learned, and Reset local data clears it too. The overnight run-down notice's switch and recent delivery ledger are kept in this iPhone's preferences; the ledger records episodes and the last delivery day, not the measured health values. The notice does not sync through Foleil. As with other device preferences, iOS may include UserDefaults in its own backup.

The encrypted copy for your iPhone's backup. So that a new iPhone can bring your history back, Foleil keeps an encrypted copy of your records, including meal-photo copies, descriptions and estimate notes, saved chats, what Sprout remembers, workout photos and the health documents you keep. Local training records, saved class timetables, imported workout records and saved workout reports are included with those records. Progress photos are included only if you turn that on. The copy is on by default. Foleil updates it when you leave the app (at most every 30 minutes) once you have finished setting up, and your iPhone includes it in its backup, in iCloud or on your computer, whenever that backup runs. It is encrypted with AES-GCM using a 256-bit key kept in your iPhone's keychain, which syncs to your other devices through iCloud Keychain when that is on. A new iPhone restored from iCloud Backup can open the copy only once iCloud Keychain brings it the key; an encrypted backup made on a computer may carry the key with it. You can turn the copy off in Settings, under Backup and restore.

Restoring from an export. Under Backup and restore you can choose a Foleil export to bring its records onto your iPhone. It merges with the records already there: where both hold the same record, the newer version is kept, and that can be a deletion. An export whose lists clash with the ones already there can be refused, and then nothing changes.

iCloud. Foleil does not sync anything through iCloud in this version. Your records reach iCloud only inside your iPhone's own backup, as the encrypted copy, and the copy's key through iCloud Keychain, as above. An export you save to iCloud Drive, and the Apple Health app's own iCloud sync, are yours to control.

On your Apple Watch

Your Apple Watch keeps the workouts and water you record on it, the plan your iPhone sends it (your coming week's sessions, routines and their exercise guides), the places you saved and routes you recorded, and a summary of your day for its dashboard and complications: your scores, stress and energy, water, food totals and latest meals, glucose, today's plan, recent workouts with their heart rate, and tonight's sleep window. These move between your iPhone and your Watch over Apple's connection between the two. During a strength workout the Watch can estimate your repetitions from its motion sensors; its smart alarm reads your wrist's movement during the window you set. Those motion readings are used on the Watch.

Widgets, controls, Live Activities and Siri

The Apple Health app

When you connect Apple Health, Foleil requests the supported ordinary read types together. Its own read choices start on; Apple's permission sheet decides what you actually allow. Turning off a nutrition, body or cycle feature does not narrow this read request; those switches still control the feature and what Foleil saves back to Apple Health. Availability depends on your iOS version, device, records, permissions and source choices. Foleil cannot tell that a read was allowed merely because a permission request completed or a query returned no records.

The requested topics cover:

Items you choose separately. Vision prescriptions and Apple Health medications use Apple's separate item-by-item sharing sheets, opened only when you choose to share them. Dose events follow the medications you share; Foleil does not choose items for you. It remembers locally that a choice sheet was completed, across launches, and clears that completion on disconnect or reset. That flag means only that you were asked, not that you granted access or shared every item. Apple Health supplies only the items your choice actually permits. You can reopen the choice from the Health page. Apple Health clinical documents are unavailable in this version, including the clinical-document selection path; connecting ordinary Health data does not enable it.

With your permission, Foleil writes to the Apple Health app: workouts and their effort, mindful minutes, water, nutrition, caffeine, vitamin D, alcoholic drinks, body measurements, blood pressure, blood glucose, State of Mind and cycle records. The Health app's permissions decide which kinds Foleil may write, and Foleil's Apple Health settings let you choose how each kind is saved. On Apple Watch, Foleil reads your heart rate during workouts and heart checks you start, and saves those workouts to the Apple Health app.

So that Foleil can react when new data arrives, it asks iOS for immediate background delivery of workouts, food-energy samples and cycle records, and hourly delivery of other observed kinds. iOS decides when the app is actually woken; this is not a guarantee of immediate delivery.

Imported workouts and saved reports. Foleil automatically imports workouts other apps or devices saved to Apple Health into its local activity history. It keeps their dates, activity type, available workout figures, source and ownership information, and the local state used to handle duplicates and removals. It can match imported activity to your plan. It saves a local analysis report with the available measured figures, coverage and any wording, rather than keeping only your additions to the Apple Health workout. Missing or unread values are not treated as zero. Stored reports and import state have capacity limits; this is not a promise that every historical record can be imported or retained without limit. Other apps' food samples are read for food totals and reactions; this does not mean every sample becomes a meal you logged in Foleil.

Older workouts brought in during the initial history import are analysed locally without a burst of alerts or paid wording requests. Later heart-rate or recovery data can update the same report without a repeated initial alert. AI wording for eligible new reports is described below.

Automatic topic analysis. After connection, local analysis of the Month window can start on load, return to the foreground or Health changes, without tapping Analyse. A completed analysis is normally refreshed after six hours; stale, missing or retry cases are spaced at least fifteen minutes apart. The automatic pass runs only with current Health and source choices and suitable device conditions; it waits in the background, in Low Power Mode, or when battery is below 20% and not charging. These are opportunities to run, not a guaranteed background schedule. Topic analysis holds bounded local readings and summaries, with coverage and incomplete-read states. These support Sprout Age, habit comparisons, recommendations and the bounded AI context described below; not every topic contributes to every estimate.

Lab proposals. Where readable health-record lab results match the names and units the Blood feature accepts, Foleil offers a proposal. Results are saved to Blood only after you confirm. A saved panel keeps its collection date, results and a health-records source; it also keeps the provider name when one provider supplied that date. Saved results can inform Sprout Age and the existing AI context under its consent and switch controls.

How Foleil uses Apple Health data: only to provide Foleil's health and fitness features to you: your day, progress and history, scores and estimates, reminders and celebrations, cycle predictions, and Sprout's AI, which can include information from Apple Health in the requests described below. Foleil never uses Apple Health data for advertising, marketing or data mining, and never sells it. External AI requests send only the context described below to Anthropic, with your AI consent. The separate encrypted-backup, Watch, Apple Health and user-directed export/share flows are described elsewhere in this policy.

You choose these permissions in the Health app and can change them there at any time. Disconnecting Apple Health in Foleil stops its reads and writes and clears the remembered item-choice completion. Records already in Apple Health stay there. Disconnecting is not an erase of the activities, reports or confirmed lab panels already saved in Foleil; manage those in Foleil or use its reset and erase tools.

Sprout's AI

Sprout's AI is part of how Foleil works. It writes Sprout's answers to your questions, the analysis and insights on your pages, suggestions, its reactions to the workouts and meals you log, and plans such as workouts, programmes, meal weeks, recipes and route names.

What it uses

Depending on the task and the request's size limit, Sprout's AI can use the following information. This list does not mean it receives every original file, photo or Apple Health record:

Some of this comes from Apple Health. Each request carries your question or the task and selected context within a size limit, the most relevant first. Profile pictures, progress and workout reference photos are not sent by these context flows. A route's raw map points are not part of the AI context; the separate nearby-location item described above is the only precise-current-location exception.

Apple Health topic summaries, including sensitive information

After local topic analysis, a request may carry dated summaries grouped as movement; heart; breathing; sleep; body; food and nutrients; mindfulness; mood and assessments; cycle and reproductive health; hearing and sound; symptoms; and other. These can include:

A summary is bounded to 64 topics, up to 31 daily values, 12 recorded categories and 24 typed facts per topic, with smaller task and token limits able to leave information out. It is not raw unlimited history. These topic summaries exclude native, parent, source and device identifiers, source and device names, coordinates, raw time series and waveforms, FHIR or CDA content and free text. In this summary path, profile characteristics other than age (including sex, blood type, skin type and wheelchair use) stay on the device. Vision prescriptions, medication and dose records, clinical records and health documents contribute no raw values or detail to this path and are marked unavailable. This does not exclude medications you log in Foleil or lab results and document extracts saved in Foleil from the separate context list above. Energy and macronutrient intake topics are left out while those figures are hidden in Foleil.

These sensitive summaries can be included in Ask, automatic strength-progression requests and passive reactions. They are not restricted to questions you type or analyses you start by tapping Analyse. They are sent only while Use Sprout's AI is on and your agreement is current, subject to the request's existing data-category, source and size controls. Opening a page, composing a question or choosing a topic does not itself send that page or topic; automatic progression and reaction events can nevertheless start their own requests while you use the app.

Requests that start automatically

Strength progression. When automatic progression is enabled, changes to training-relevant information can prompt a request without a separate Ask action: recent strength sets, loads and effort; session ratings, feedback and notes; exercise notes; missed sessions; goals, training answers, equipment and units; row targets; personal status and life stage. Unrelated settings, Health imports and interface choices do not themselves trigger a new progression request. The request may also carry sleep, recovery, strain and the eligible wider context, including the sensitive topic summaries above. Foleil's own rules set permitted targets and safety holds; the AI chooses within those bounds and provides wording. Invalid suggestions are refused, and Foleil uses its deterministic on-device choice when AI is off or unavailable. You can edit a target before lifting.

Reactions and saved-workout wording. With Reactions enabled, new activity or food you log or that Apple Health reports can prompt a request. For an eligible imported workout's saved-report wording, the request can carry the workout's start and end times, duration, average heart rate, time in heart-rate zones and measured recovery drop; the most recent preceding night's asleep minutes; that day's Sleep, Recovery and Strain scores; and permitted wider context, including the sensitive summaries above. Heart-rate figures are used only while heart-rate reads are ready and no contributing heart-rate source is hidden. Workouts that arrive within twelve hours of ending after a known import baseline may receive this wording; older or unproven history stays local for this purpose. The local wording budget is at most six requests in twenty-four hours and three per import during an app launch; relaunching can reset that local budget, and the service's own limits also apply. A better duplicate workout copy can receive regenerated wording for its better data without a second initial alert. Report refreshes alone do not start another wording request or announcement. Reactions may appear in the app or a local notification, depending on your notification and reaction choices.

Daily summary. When your Strain, Recovery or Sleep score changes meaningfully, for example when last night's sleep arrives, Foleil can ask Sprout's AI to write the short summary at the top of Today, at most three times a day. The request carries today's Strain, Recovery and Sleep scores, yesterday's Recovery, your suggested Strain range and Foleil's own next-step suggestion, which can include a planned bedtime or sleep duration. Opening Today or the summary sends nothing. It runs only while Use Sprout's AI is on and your agreement is current. When it's off, you see a summary written on your iPhone instead.

Nightly sleep observation. When a new night's main sleep arrives, or that night's sleep stages or length arrive later, Foleil can ask Sprout's AI to write a short observation about it for that night's page, at most twice a calendar day. This is separate from the daily summary's three. The request carries only figures recorded for that night: its time asleep, the sleep target that night's page shows and how far above or below it the night was, and, where recorded, its deep and REM sleep, time awake, wakings longer than five minutes, the share of your time in bed spent asleep and the time it took to fall asleep. A figure that wasn't recorded is left out, never sent as zero. Opening the night, the observation or Ask from it sends nothing. It runs only while Use Sprout's AI is on and your agreement is current. When it's off, you see an observation written on your iPhone instead, and wording Sprout's AI wrote earlier is no longer shown.

Class timetable images you choose

When you choose AI reading of a class timetable, Foleil sends small metadata-free images through its server to Anthropic. These may be a photo, screenshot, scan or pages rendered from a PDF on your iPhone; at most the first four pages are read. Anything visible in the image, including a person's name, coach, venue or contact information, can reach the provider. Removing file metadata does not remove visible text. Foleil does not keep the original timetable image or PDF, or the prepared image copies, as a stored timetable file. Your original remains wherever you selected it. The classes and attendance choices are saved locally only when you save the timetable, and are included in Foleil's backup, export and reset with your training records. Manual class entry is available when AI is off, declined or unavailable.

What it is used for

Only to provide Foleil's features to you: answers, analysis, insights, suggestions, reactions and plans. It is never used for advertising or marketing, never sold, and never used to build a profile of you for anyone else. Scores and totals are worked out by Foleil's own rules on your iPhone, and the AI explains them in words. Meal estimates from the AI are checked for plausibility, and you review them before they are saved.

How it is sent

Your iPhone sends each request, encrypted, to Foleil's own server, which runs on Cloudflare. The server checks the request, passes it on, encrypted, to Anthropic, PBC, which runs the Claude models, and returns the answer to your iPhone. Requests reach Anthropic from Foleil's account: Anthropic does not receive your name, your Apple Account or any identifier of your device.

What Foleil's server keeps

Foleil's server does not store what is in a request or an answer. To keep the service running and to stop misuse, it keeps:

Your device's internet address reaches Foleil's server, as with any internet request. The server uses it only to limit how many new install codes one address can ask for in a minute, and does not store it. Cloudflare's own handling of network traffic is described in its privacy policy at https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/.

What Anthropic does with it

Anthropic processes these requests for us, as our service provider, under its Commercial Terms of Service and Data Processing Addendum:

The statements in this section summarise Anthropic's published commercial terms and data-handling information. This Foleil policy is not a substitute for Anthropic's applicable terms and should not be relied on as the authoritative source for them. For the latest published terms and data-handling details, read Anthropic's Commercial Terms of Service, Data Processing Addendum and Privacy Center. Foleil's handling of your information remains governed by this policy and applicable law.

Anthropic's own privacy policy (https://www.anthropic.com/legal/privacy) covers people who use Anthropic's products directly; it does not govern what Anthropic processes for us.

Taken out first

Before a request leaves your iPhone, Foleil applies a text filter for your recorded name and birth date and for recognisable email addresses, phone numbers, web addresses, street addresses, postcodes, account and card numbers, and locations more precise than about 100 metres, except for the tagged current-location item sent when you ask about somewhere nearby and location access is already allowed, as described above. Precise coordinates in other text, notes and documents are still removed. Images are sent as small copies without their location or camera metadata, for meal estimates and class-timetable reading you choose. PDF timetables are rendered to images on your iPhone first. Visible words and identifying details in an image are not removed by this step. Foleil recognises these details by their form, so words you write in your own way (for example, a person's name in a journal entry) and anything visible in a photo are sent as they are.

Accuracy

Answers written by AI can be wrong, incomplete or out of date. Check anything important before relying on it. Sprout gives general wellbeing information, not medical advice.

When it isn't available

If you turn Sprout's AI off, Foleil's server or Anthropic can't be reached, or a limit is reached for that request kind, Foleil uses Apple's on-device model where your iPhone supports it and on-device assistance is on, and otherwise its own built-in wording. On-device requests stay on your iPhone. Journal reflections are always written on your iPhone. A pause for one request kind does not turn off every kind of AI assistance. Manual timetable entry and Foleil's deterministic progression rules remain available.

Your choices

You can choose Not now at setup or on a later consent screen to leave "Use Sprout's AI" off and use Foleil's on-device features, as described under "When it isn't available". If you choose Agree at setup, "Use Sprout's AI" is on by default. You can turn it off near the bottom of Settings to withdraw your consent and stop new requests to Anthropic, including requests waiting to be sent and requests for automatic reactions. Foleil then uses its on-device features instead, as described under "When it isn't available". Turning the switch on shows the consent screen and requires a new Agree before requests start or resume. While it is on, there are no general AI per-category opt-out switches in this version. Apple Health permissions, separate item-by-item choices, source visibility, hidden intake figures and request-specific exclusions still limit the data that the implemented paths can use. Turning Reactions off stops automatic reaction and saved-workout wording requests, not Ask or automatic progression; automatic progression has its own control. You can still delete any record, chat, memory or document you don't want it to use, and Reset local data removes them all. Information already sent stays with Anthropic only for the time described above. While it is off, a small "Sprout's AI is off — Turn on" card appears on selected AI feature screens and results, and on in-app reactions to logged activity. Those reactions can also appear automatically when Apple Health data arrives. Automatic wording elsewhere, such as Today and tab insights, workout titles and food groups, uses available on-device features or built-in wording without this card. Foleil sends no reminder notifications to turn Sprout's AI back on, and the Turn on card is not included in notifications.

Features that use your devices' sensors and permissions

What leaves your devices, and when

Besides Sprout's AI, information leaves your devices only for these features, and each sends only what it needs:

Apple's handling of Apple Weather, Apple Maps, Apple Music, downloads, WorkoutKit, SharePlay and Messages is covered by Apple's privacy policy (https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/).

What we receive

We don't use analytics, crash-reporting or advertising tools in Foleil. The AI content described above passes through our server when an eligible request runs; we do not provide a remote account dashboard to browse your device's records.

Information that goes outside Australia

We are in Australia. Some services described in this policy run in other countries:

We use these services only for the purposes in this policy. Anthropic processes what Foleil sends under its Commercial Terms of Service and Data Processing Addendum, which do not allow it to train models on that content and set out how it protects and deletes it. The laws of these countries may protect your information differently from Australian law.

Keeping and deleting your data

Foleil's saved records stay on your iPhone and Apple Watch until removed through their record controls, reset or applicable import/deletion handling. Saved workout reports and local import state are durable records; current topic-analysis readings and summaries are working state that can be invalidated and reread after source or connection changes, rather than a permanent archive of every Health sample. Copies in backups, Apple Health, exports and the places you shared them are managed separately.

Starting afresh with Beta 4. The first time Beta 4 of Foleil opens, it clears once everything earlier test versions kept: its records, settings, photos, chats and documents on your iPhone, the widgets' data, scheduled notifications and alarms, Live Activities, Siri and search items, and Foleil's data on your Apple Watch. You then set Foleil up again from the start. Your Apple Health data and your iOS permission answers stay as they are. Encrypted copies made by earlier versions are not deleted from your iPhone or its backups, but Foleil no longer offers to restore them.

Children

Foleil is for people aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone younger. If you believe someone under 18 is using Foleil, write to us; as most of their information is on their own iPhone, deleting the app removes it.

Security

Your records are protected by your iPhone's and Apple Watch's own security, including your passcode and their encryption. The copy in your backup is encrypted with AES-GCM using a key kept in your iPhone's keychain, and health documents you keep can be opened only while your iPhone is unlocked. App Lock, if you turn it on, hides Foleil until your iPhone confirms it's you. Requests to Foleil's server, and from it to Anthropic, are encrypted in transit, and the server's keys for Anthropic are kept as encrypted secrets that never reach the app. No system is perfectly secure. If we learn of a data breach that is likely to cause you serious harm, we will tell you and, where the law requires, the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.

Your rights and choices

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy at any time. The current version, its number and its effective date are always at https://foleil.app/privacy. Foleil shows and checks the policy version bundled with your installed build and links to the current web policy from Settings, Privacy and your data. A website-only policy update does not by itself update that local agreement check; a build carrying a material update is needed before that build can apply the changed use after your new agreement.
