Better Me Privacy Policy
Version 1.0, build 42. Updated November 5, 2026.
Your records
Better Me keeps your readings, medicines, symptoms, care plans, papers and original files in an encrypted vault on your device. No account is required. Magnetic Enterprises does not receive this vault. There are no ads or cross-app tracking.
The app excludes the vault from future automatic device backups. A copy of its encryption key can sync through iCloud Keychain if you enable it. The key contains no health records. Changing the backup setting cannot remove an earlier backup.
Apple Health and other permissions
If you connect Apple Health, you choose which categories Better Me may read. These can include activity, sleep, vitals, clinical records, ECG samples and workout routes. Better Me keeps encrypted copies and shows them beside your own records. It never writes to Apple Health. You can change access in Apple Health. Revoking access stops future reads. Copies already imported remain in Better Me.
The camera reads papers or labels you choose to scan. You review results before saving. The system pickers share only the photos or files you select. Speech dictation runs on your device. You can type instead. Optional Face ID unlocks the app. Optional notifications can show reminder details on your Lock Screen. If you choose to add a visit, Better Me requests write-only Calendar access. Your calendar provider may sync that event.
Widgets and the Lock Screen can show dose times, counts and the date of your next visit. Medicine names appear only if you turn on the option to show them on the Lock Screen.
Questions and exports
On supported devices, Apple Intelligence answers questions using your records on the device. Better Me does not send prompts, photos or records to an outside AI service. The app organizes records for adults. It does not diagnose conditions or recommend treatment.
If you export records or share a report, you choose the destination. An export can contain readable health records and original documents. A recipient or storage provider controls its copy. Keep important originals before removing the app. Removing the app deletes its local records. Manage exports, calendar events and previous device backups where they are stored.
Optional usage and crash reports
Reporting starts off. If reporting is available, Settings → Usage and crash data shows what the app can send to Magnetic Enterprises. Reports help us find failures and understand which features people use. Reports can include app and system versions, feature interactions, a temporary session identifier and crash or hang details. The service derives a country code from the connection. Reports do not contain your documents, readings, questions or a permanent device identifier.
Turn reporting off in Settings to stop future reports and clear unsent reports. The service keeps individual reports for 30 days and daily counts for up to 400 days. Service backups can retain older records until the backups expire.
Feedback and contact
If you choose Send, Magnetic receives the message you review, its language and an optional reply email. You can include app and system versions or recent screen names. Do not include medical details. An approved message can wait in an encrypted outbox until delivery. If you choose email instead, you review a Mail draft before sending it.
The feedback service keeps messages for up to one year. To ask about privacy or request deletion of a feedback message, contact contact@magneticenterprises.com. For help with the app, visit Better Me support.
Earlier versions with external AI providers
The following information applies to older versions that offered external AI providers. Those versions had different storage and permission settings.
Records on your iPhone
Results, reports, symptoms, meals, medicines, routines, sleep, sessions, chat history, and their sources are saved in encrypted app storage. The encryption key stays on your iPhone. Records and the key are excluded from automatic device backup. better me has no account, app cloud service, advertising, tracking, or built-in analytics. The app reads only the photos and files you choose to add.
An item you send through the iOS Share button waits in protected shared storage until better me opens it. Routine words with a clear time can then become a saved routine; other items open for review. The waiting copy is removed after it is taken into the app. Erase all data removes items still waiting there.
Apple Health
Apple Health access is optional. If you grant access, better me can read the categories you select and can write Mindful Minutes for breathing or meditation sessions after you turn that option on. You can change Health permissions in iPhone Settings. Apple Health records are stored locally in better me. If you choose an outside AI and explicitly include those records or related activity in a task, that information can be sent to that provider. Copies in Apple Health are managed through Apple Health and your device settings.
Optional outside AI
AI can use an available on-device model. You can also configure OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini with your own key. Before the first send to each provider, better me shows its destination and the categories it can receive and asks for your approval. Your choice is saved for that provider and destination URL. Changing the URL asks again. Turn off or remove the provider in Settings → AI to stop future sends. You can use the rest of better me without an outside AI.
Chat sends the message, records you select, profile details you choose to include, and any activity you choose to include. Those records and activities can contain Apple Health information. Routine help and imported guides send the words or links you provide, including text read from selected screenshots. When Gemini is selected, report photos and PDFs, medicine-box or supplement-label photos, and meal photos can be sent to Gemini for reading. Images may contain names and other personal details visible in them. You review suggested records and descriptions before saving. Symptom photos are stored locally and are not sent by these features.
The configured provider receives your key and the content sent for the task and handles it under its own terms and privacy policy. Its storage and deletion practices may differ from better me's local storage. Read the provider's policy before approving it. Better me does not use this content for advertising or sell it. To request deletion of information a provider has already received, contact that provider using its privacy controls. Removing a provider from better me stops later sends but cannot delete copies the provider already holds.
Deletion
In Settings → Your data, choose Erase all data on this iPhone to remove local records, provider settings and keys, and the app encryption key. Removing the app also removes its local records. These actions cannot remove copies already written to Apple Health or sent to a provider; manage those copies at their destination. Your records are kept locally until you erase them or remove the app. You may change Apple Health permissions and outside AI choices without erasing local records.
