VitaVault is built on a simple principle: you should know where your data goes.
- Stored on your iPhoneHealth metrics, medications, lab results, and journal entries are stored locally on your iPhone. Medications, lab results, journal and check-ins also sync through your own iCloud if your iPhone is signed in and iCloud Sync is on.
- AI sends only what it needsWhen you use AI features or scans (Insights, Doctor Prep, Lab Analysis), only what that request needs is sent through our server to Anthropic Claude, and our server doesn't keep it.
- No account requiredNo sign-up, no login, no email collection. Just download and start using it.
- Delete the appRemove the app and everything on your iPhone is permanently deleted. Copies in your own iCloud stay there. To delete those too, before you remove the app, use Settings, Delete All App Data, and choose Also Delete from iCloud. We don't keep your health data on any server. The one exception is VitaVault Cloud, an older agent sync option that is now closed to new users. To have your VitaVault Cloud data deleted, email support@vitavault.io. Include your device ID if you have it; if not, tell us roughly when you connected and we'll find it. Never send your connection key.
- Apple Health is safeVitaVault reads from Apple Health but never modifies or deletes your Apple Health data.
