Your data & privacy

Hydration entries and preferences are privately saved for up to 90 days using a secure browser cookie, with a local offline copy. This is not a cross-device account. Clearing cookies can disconnect that history. Addresses are never saved on the server; home answers stay in this browser. Map tiles load from OpenStreetMap, and opening directions shares the destination with Google Maps.
