Nova Widgets Privacy Policy

Introduction

At Nova Widgets, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your data when you use our curated gallery of stylish home screen and lock screen widgets. We believe in complete transparency and user control over personal data.

Data Collection and Storage

Nova Widgets is designed with privacy at its core. All your data and preferences are stored locally on your device:

• Widget customizations and favorite items
• App preferences and display settings
• Health data (steps, distance, calories, heart rate) accessed via Apple Health

We do not collect, transmit, or store any of your personal or health data on external servers. All information remains exclusively on your device and under your control.

Apple Health and HealthKit Integration

Nova Widgets connects to Apple Health using HealthKit to display health metrics on specific widgets. This integration:

• Only reads data - we never write data to Apple Health
• Requires your explicit permission for each specific data type
• Can be revoked at any time through iOS Settings
• Does not share your health data with any third parties

Your health data is protected by Apple's strict HealthKit privacy guidelines, which we fully comply with.

No Account Required

Nova Widgets operates without user accounts or registration. You can start using the app immediately without providing any personal information. There is no sync functionality or cloud backup - everything stays on your device.

Data Security

Your data is secured by your device's built-in security features. Since all data is stored locally, it benefits from iOS's encryption and security measures. We never transmit your health data or widget preferences over the internet.

Data Deletion

You have complete control over your data:

• Revoke HealthKit permissions at any time through iOS Settings
• Uninstalling the app removes all associated data and preferences
• Your health data in Apple Health remains unaffected by our app

Third-Party Services

Nova Widgets integrates with Apple's StoreKit for processing in-app purchases (Pro unlock). We do not use any third-party analytics platforms or advertising networks. We do not share any data with external parties.

App Permissions

Nova Widgets requires minimal device permissions:

• HealthKit access (only to read selected metrics for your widgets)
• No access to contacts, location, camera, or other sensitive information
• No network access required for core functionality (except for App Store purchases)

Changes to Privacy Policy

Any updates to this privacy policy will be reflected in the app and on our website. Users will be notified of significant changes through app updates.
