Glowy - Legal Documentation & Terms of Service
Last Updated: April 25, 2026
1. IMPORTANT MEDICAL DISCLAIMER GLOWY IS NOT A MEDICAL DEVICE. The information, estimates, and timers provided by this application are for informational and educational purposes only. They are based on scientific models (Fitzpatrick Scale, UV Index) and environmental data that are subject to variations.
No Medical Advice: Glowy does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek the advice of your dermatologist or other qualified health provider.
Risk Acknowledgment: Solar radiation is inherently dangerous and can cause skin cancer, premature aging, and severe burns. By using this app, you acknowledge these risks and agree that you are solely responsible for your physical safety and sun exposure.
2. ACCURACY OF DATA
Environmental Estimates: UV Index data is fetched from third-party services and represents an estimate for your general area. Local factors (elevation, reflection from water/sand/snow, cloud cover) can significantly alter real UV exposure.
Timers: Exposure timers are theoretical limits calculated to reduce the risk of acute erythema (sunburn). They do not guarantee that damage to the skin will not occur.
3. PRIVACY POLICY & DATA HANDLING Glowy is designed with a privacy-first approach.
100% Local Storage: All your personal data—including your skin profile, tanning history, and progress photos—are stored STRICTLY LOCALLY on your device's internal storage. We do not own servers, we do not offer cloud syncing, and we have zero access to your photos or personal metrics. If you delete the app, your data is permanently deleted.
Geolocation: We request temporary access to your location solely to fetch real-time UV Index data from our weather provider. Your location data is processed on-the-fly and is never tracked, saved, or shared with advertisers.
Third-Party Services: To provide core functionality, we utilize trusted third-party services. We use a Weather API to fetch UV data, and RevenueCat to securely process in-app purchases and premium subscriptions. We do not sell your data.
4. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY To the maximum extent permitted by law, Glowy and its developers shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages resulting from:
Any skin damage, burns, or health issues arising from sun exposure while using the app.
Inaccuracies in UV Index data or timer calculations.
Technical failures or loss of local data.
5. USER RESPONSIBILITIES As a user, you agree to:
Always use appropriate Sun Protection Factor (SPF) clothing and seek shade.
Manually override app suggestions if you feel discomfort or see signs of skin reddening.
Not rely solely on the app for infant or child sun protection.
6. ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS By using the application, you confirm that you have read, understood, and accepted these terms in their entirety.
