Glowtopia privacy policy

Last updated: 14 November 2026 · Contact: hello@glowtopia.app

The short version

Everything you put in Glowtopia stays on your phone, including what the camera sees during check-ins, unless you choose to sign in to back up your progress. There are no ads. The app sends anonymous usage counts (which features get used), which you can turn off in Settings.

What stays on your device

• Your routine steps, reminder times and your buddy's name
• Check-ins, glow days, unlocked items, diary lines
• Your weekly check-in answers and your monthly progress photos (photos are kept in the app’s own folder and are never uploaded or analysed)
• Counts of which features you use (for example how many reminders you opened), kept on your phone and not sent anywhere
• Products on your shelf and their opening dates

If you don't sign in, this data lives only on your phone (and in your own phone backup, if you use one). Deleting the app deletes it.

Optional account and backup

Signing in is optional. If you sign in (with your email, or Apple or Google when offered), we store your email address and one backup of your routine, check-ins, glow days, unlocked items, diary lines, weekly check-in answers and settings, so you can bring them back on a new phone. Progress photos and what the camera sees are never backed up. The backup is kept with Supabase in the European Union (Frankfurt) and only your account can read it. You can delete your account and its backup at any time in Settings → Account → Delete account.

Launch email list (website)

If you leave your email on our website to hear when Glowtopia is out, we store that email address, the date you left it and which of our pages you left it on, with Supabase in the European Union (Frankfurt). When you join, we send ourselves a short notice of the new sign-up through Resend, our email service. We use your email only to tell you when the app is available, and we never sell it or use it for ads. To have it removed, email us at hello@glowtopia.app and we will delete it.

Camera check-ins

If camera check-ins are on, Glowtopia uses your front camera while you do a routine step, to see that you are doing it (for example, fingertips on your face or brushing at your mouth). This analysis runs entirely on your phone using Google MediaPipe models that are downloaded once. Video and images are never saved, never uploaded and never leave your device. You can turn camera check-ins off in Settings and tick steps yourself.

Background sounds

Background sounds are audio files bundled in the app. Glowtopia never uses the microphone.

Barcode lookups

When you scan a product barcode, only the barcode number is sent to the free, public Open Beauty Facts database to look up the product name. No personal information is sent.

Purchases

Subscriptions are processed by Google Play or the App Store, depending on your phone. We use RevenueCat to check whether you have Pro, using an anonymous app user ID. We never see your payment details.

Notifications

Reminders are scheduled locally on your phone. Nothing is sent from a server.

Advice

Glowtopia helps you keep a routine. It does not give skincare, dental or medical advice.

Children

Glowtopia is not directed at children under 13.

Who we are

Glowtopia is published by AYTONPRESS LLC, 603 Capitol Ave, Suite 413G-3090, Cheyenne, Wyoming 82001, United States, which is responsible for the personal data described here (the "controller" under data protection law). Contact: hello@glowtopia.app.

Usage counts

To learn which features help, the app sends counts of what happens in it, such as a step ticked, a routine finished or the paywall shown, to PostHog (servers in the EU). Each install gets a random id that is not linked to you. No names, emails, photos, routine text or advertising ids are sent, and nothing is used for ads or tracking across other apps. Settings → Share anonymous usage stats turns it off.

Website visits

Our website counts visits with PostHog (servers in the EU): which page was opened, where the visit came from (for example a link with a campaign tag), how far down the page it went, which buttons and questions were opened, and whether someone joined the launch list. It sets no cookies and stores nothing on your device, it does not record your screen, and it never receives the email address you type into the form.

Service providers

PostHog receives the usage counts above and the website visit counts. Resend sends our emails, such as sign-in links and the launch-list notice. RevenueCat checks your subscription status, and Apple or Google handle payment. Camera models are downloaded from Google's and jsDelivr's servers, which see a normal download request (your network address) but none of your data. Barcode numbers go to Open Beauty Facts. If you sign in, Supabase stores your backup, and messages you send from the feedback box are stored there too. Some of these providers are in the United States.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example the EU, UK, Israel or California), you can ask to access, correct or delete personal data we hold about you, object to or restrict its use, or get a copy of it. Accounts are optional, so nearly everything is on your phone and in your control; if you signed in, deleting your account in Settings deletes your backup. To make a request, email us at hello@glowtopia.app. We reply within 30 days. You can also complain to your local data protection authority. We do not sell or share personal data for advertising, and we do not track you across other companies' apps or websites.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new date. If a change affects what leaves your phone, the app will say so first.
