Nomu Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 26, 2026

Your fasts, your weight, your photos and your notes stay on your phone

Nomu has no account and no cloud sync. Four things do leave your device: anonymous usage analytics, crash reports, a recording of the app's screens during your first four days — with your photos and your personal and health screens masked out — and purchase checks with the App Store or Google Play. A feedback message is sent only if you write one. Each of those is explained below, in plain English.

1. Introduction

Welcome to Nomu, an intermittent fasting timer developed by Tappect. This policy explains what Nomu does and does not do with your information, in plain English. We would rather tell you exactly what happens than hide behind legal language.

Nomu is a paid subscription application available on iOS and Android. This policy applies to everyone who uses it.

2. Data Stored on Your Device

Nomu stores everything you track locally on your device, in a SQLite database, your device's app preferences, and the app's private files folder. This includes:

  • Your fasts: start and end times, fasting plan, goal hours, and every edit you make to them
  • Your streak, grace days, achievements and Nomu's wing evolution progress
  • Water intake logs and mood check-ins
  • Weight entries and body measurements
  • Progress photos you take or choose, stored as files inside the app's own folder
  • Supplements you set up and the doses you mark as taken or skipped
  • Goals you set, and the articles you have read
  • App preferences: fasting plan, theme, accent colour, units, language, notification times, sound and haptics settings

We never see this. Tappect has no server that stores your fasts, your weight, your measurements, your progress photos or your mood check-ins, and no way to read them. There is no account to sign into and nothing syncs to a cloud. If you want a copy, Nomu can export your data to a file you control.

3. Anonymous Analytics and Crash Reports

Nomu uses Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics (Google), and PostHog (product analytics, processed on servers in the United States), to understand how the app is used and to catch bugs. These are anonymous. What is collected:

  • A randomly generated identifier for your installation of the app, not linked to your name, your email, or any advertising ID
  • Device model, operating system version, app version, language and country setting
  • Which screens you open and how long you spend in the app
  • That an action happened — for example fast started, fast completed, fast edited, phase reached, weight logged, progress photo added, supplement taken or streak maintained
  • A few low-detail values attached to those actions: how many minutes a fast ran and how many you had planned, the mood you tap on a check-in, the amount of water logged, how many measurement fields you filled in, and which fasting plan and goal you chose
  • Broad ranges from onboarding: your age range, your experience level, and your starting height and weight as a band such as "70–79 kg" — never the exact number
  • Which paywall and subscription steps you reached, so we can see where the purchase flow confuses people
  • Crash and error diagnostics if the app misbehaves, including the stack trace and device state at the moment it failed

Never collected as analytics: your exact weight and body measurements, your progress photos, the clock times your fasts started and ended, your notes, your name, your email address, your location, your contacts, or any reading taken from Apple Health or Health Connect. Nomu never asks who you are and never sends an identifier that would let us work it out — we do not call any "identify" or "set user ID" function in any of these tools.

This list covers the analytics and crash reporting described in this section. Session replay is a separate thing with different rules, and section 4 sets out exactly what it can and cannot see. Read that one too.

You can turn all of this off. See section 11.

4. Session Replay in Your First Four Days

This is the one thing in Nomu you would not guess, so we want to be direct about it — including about what it does not protect.

For the first four days after you first open Nomu, the app takes periodic screenshots of the Nomu interface, records where you tap, and sends them to PostHog, whose servers are in the United States. Think of it as a rough screen recording of the app. After four days it stops on its own and does not start again.

What is hidden

Masking happens on your device, before anything is sent. These never appear in a recording:

  • Every image. Your progress photos can never appear in a recording, on any screen
  • Your weight values and weight charts, and any goal figure based on your weight
  • Your BMI — the number, and the marker on the BMI scale, because where the marker sits gives the number away on its own
  • Your body measurements and their history
  • Your mood check-ins
  • Everything you enter about supplements and medication — names, brands, dosages, injection sites and your notes
  • The custom measurement names you created
  • Everything you write in the feedback form, both your message and your email address
  • The barcode scanner's live camera preview — what your camera is pointed at is never recorded
  • The data preview on the export screen
  • Anything typed into a password, email, phone, name or address field — always and automatically, wherever it appears in the app

What is visible

Nomu's own interface text is not masked, and that is deliberate. Buttons, labels, headings and the rest of the app's wording appear as they really look on your screen. Nomu ships in 16 languages, and the only way to see that a German button label is cut in half or that an Arabic layout has flipped the wrong element is to look at the actual rendered screen. A recording with every string greyed out shows rectangles moving around and answers none of that.

So a recording shows the ordinary surface of the app as you experienced it — your fasting timer running, your streak count, the plan you are on, the articles you open. That is the trade we have made, and we would rather state it than imply the recordings are blanker than they are: the personal and health details listed above are masked; the interface around them is not.

In one line: we can see Nomu's interface as you experienced it. We cannot see your photos, your weight, your BMI, your measurements, your mood, what you record about supplements and medication, or anything you write to us.

This exists to show us where Nomu is confusing and where a translation has broken the layout, in the first days — when a confusing app is the reason people give up. It is not used to profile you, it is not sold, and it is not shared with advertisers.

How to turn it off: open Settings in Nomu and turn off Help improve Nomu. Recording stops immediately, and no further replay is captured or sent. To have replays already collected from your device deleted, email us using the address in section 14 and we will remove them.

5. Feedback Form

If you choose to send feedback, report a bug, or request a feature from inside Nomu, the app sends the following to Tappect's server at tappect.com, where it is stored in our Supabase database:

  • Your message
  • The type of feedback (feature request, bug report, or general feedback)
  • Your email address, only if you choose to enter one so we can reply
  • App version and platform (iOS or Android)
  • Your device's locale (language and region setting)

This is sent only when you tap send, and only the fields shown above are transmitted — none of your fasting data, weight, photos or health readings go with it. We use it to reply to you and to improve Nomu. We do not sell this information or share it with advertisers. If sending fails, Nomu offers to open your email app instead, which puts you in control of what is sent.

Both fields on this form are masked in session replay, so what you write reaches us only when you choose to send it — never as a side effect of a recording. See section 4.

6. Purchases (RevenueCat)

Nomu is a paid app, and subscriptions and the lifetime purchase are handled through the App Store and Google Play. Nomu uses RevenueCat to check whether your purchase is valid and whether your subscription is still active.

RevenueCat receives your store purchase receipt, an anonymous identifier it generates for your installation, and basic device and country information. We never give RevenueCat a name or an email address, and it never receives your fasts, your weight, your photos or anything else you have entered in the app.

Your actual payment details — card number, billing address — are handled entirely by Apple or Google. Tappect never sees them.

7. Permissions

Nomu asks for these permissions, all of them optional:

Notifications

If you turn on fasting reminders, phase alerts, water nudges, streak reminders or the weekly digest, Nomu asks permission to send notifications. These are generated entirely on your device and are not routed through any external push service. Turn them off any time in the app or in your device settings.

Camera and Photo Library

Only used if you add a progress photo. You choose each photo individually, either by taking one or picking one from your library. The photo is copied into Nomu's own private folder on your device and is never uploaded anywhere. Nomu does not browse or scan your photo library.

Apple Health / Health Connect

Only used if you connect it. See section 9.

Nomu does not request access to your microphone, your contacts, or your location.

8. No Advertising, No Sale of Data

Nomu contains no third-party advertising SDKs, shows no ads, and does not use your advertising identifier (IDFA on iOS, or the Advertising ID on Android). Nothing Nomu collects is used to track you across other companies' apps or websites.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to anyone, for any purpose, ever. The companies named in this policy — Google, PostHog, RevenueCat and Supabase — process data on our instructions to run the app, and for nothing else.

9. Health Data

If you choose to connect Apple Health (iOS) or Health Connect (Android), Nomu reads and writes a small, fixed set of data:

  • Reads your weight, so your weight chart stays in step with the rest of your phone
  • Writes weight back, so a weight you log in Nomu shows up in your health app too
  • Reads your step count and active energy for today — iOS only, to show them on the home screen. The Android build never asks for these, because it does not display them

Health data never leaves your device. Every health reading is passed straight from Apple Health or Health Connect into the app on your phone and is used only to draw what you see. It is never sent to Tappect, never sent to our analytics or crash reporting tools, and never sent to any other company. Our analytics record only that a sync happened and how many values came back — never the values themselves.

You can revoke the connection at any time in Nomu's settings, or in the Health app on iOS, or in Health Connect on Android.

Nomu is a wellness and tracking tool, not a medical device. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. Talk to a healthcare professional before starting a fasting routine, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, diabetic, underweight, or managing a medical condition.

10. Where Your Data Is Processed, and How Long We Keep It

Everything you track stays on your device. The limited information described in sections 3 to 6 is processed by these companies on our behalf:

If you are in the UK, the EU or another region with data transfer rules, this means some anonymous usage data is transferred to and processed in the United States under the standard contractual protections those providers offer.

How long it is kept

  • Everything on your device — your fasts, weight, measurements, photos and settings — is kept until you delete it or uninstall the app. We do not expire it, because we never hold it.
  • Session replay recordings are deleted automatically by PostHog at the end of the retention window set on our project, and we do not download, copy or archive them anywhere else. Once that window passes, the recording is gone.
  • Analytics events are kept while they are useful for spotting trends. They carry no identifier that we could trace back to you, so what remains after that is counts and averages.
  • Crash reports are held by Firebase Crashlytics under Google's own retention schedule, and we do not keep a separate copy.
  • Feedback you send us is kept so we can act on it and honour any support conversation. Ask us and we will delete it — see section 11.

11. Your Rights, Opt-Out and Data Deletion

Because everything you track lives only on your device, you already hold almost all of it. For the rest, here is how to exercise your rights:

  • Opt out of analytics and session replay: use the switch in Nomu's Settings described in section 4. It switches off Firebase Analytics, Firebase Crashlytics and PostHog, including session replay, straight away. Nomu keeps working exactly as before — nothing is gated behind it.
  • Access: everything you have tracked is visible in the app at any time, and Nomu can export it to a file you keep.
  • Deletion on your device: uninstalling Nomu permanently deletes your fasts, weight, measurements, progress photos and settings from your device.
  • Deletion of analytics and replays we hold: email us at hello@tappect.com with the subject line Nomu Data Deletion Request. Tell us the platform you use and roughly when you installed Nomu, and we will locate and delete the analytics events and any session replays associated with your installation. We will confirm within 30 days.
  • Deletion of feedback you sent: ask in the same email and we will delete your feedback message from our database.
  • Objection and correction: if you object to any processing described here, or believe something we hold is wrong, write to us and we will act on it within 30 days.

Because we never know who you are, a deletion request needs a little help from you so we can find the right records. Tell us your platform, your app version, your country, and roughly when you installed Nomu. If we cannot narrow it down from that, we will write back and ask for one more detail rather than delete the wrong person's data.

Cancelling a subscription is separate from deleting data. Subscriptions are billed by Apple or Google, so cancel in App Store → your name → Subscriptions on iOS, or Google Play → Payments & subscriptions on Android.

12. Children's Privacy

Nomu is not directed at, marketed to, or intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. Fasting is not appropriate for children and adolescents without medical supervision.

If you believe a child has sent us information through the feedback form, contact us and we will delete it.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. If we change what data Nomu collects, we will update this policy and the "Last updated" date at the top, and we will say so in the app's What's New before the change takes effect.

Your continued use of Nomu after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
