Frost · Privacy Policy

Your data stays with
you and your iCloud.

Frost stores your episodes on your device and syncs them through your own private iCloud. We never see your data. The only thing the app sends out is your location - to check the weather.

Last updated: June 2026

The short version
No account required. Frost works without any profile, login, or email of ours.
Stored on device + your private iCloud. Episodes and check-ins live on your device and, if iCloud is enabled, sync through Apple's CloudKit in your iCloud account - which we cannot access.
Weather is the one exception. To capture conditions and send cold-weather alerts, the app sends your approximate coordinates to OpenWeather - never your health data.
We collect nothing. No analytics, no advertising, no tracking SDKs. Payments are handled by Apple.
1. Information We Collect

We do not collect any personal information. Frost does not require registration, login, or any account creation with us, and we operate no servers that receive your data.

All data you enter - including episode severity, affected body areas, color changes, symptoms, triggers, stress and sleep check-ins, medication notes, and the weather captured at each episode - is stored on your device using Apple's SwiftData framework.

2. How Your Data Is Stored & iCloud Sync

Your data is stored locally on your iOS device, subject to iOS system-level encryption and protected by your device's passcode, Face ID, or Touch ID.

If you are signed into iCloud, Frost uses Apple's CloudKit to sync your data across your own devices through your private iCloud database. This data resides in your personal Apple account; Velora Health has no access to it and operates no servers that store it. iCloud data is governed by Apple's privacy policy and your iCloud settings.

If you delete the app, local data is removed from that device. Data synced to your iCloud can be managed or deleted through your Apple ID and iCloud settings.

3. Location & Weather Data

Frost captures the local weather at the time of an episode and can warn you before temperatures drop below your personal threshold. To do this, the app requests permission to access your location while you are using the app, and uses low-precision (city-level) location.

When the app checks the weather, your approximate coordinates are sent to OpenWeather (openweathermap.org), a third-party weather provider, solely to retrieve current conditions and forecasts. We send only your coordinates - never your episodes or any health information.

To deliver cold-weather alerts, Frost may check the forecast in the background and show a local notification on your device. Location access is optional; if you decline it, automatic weather capture and alerts are unavailable, but the rest of the app works normally. OpenWeather's handling of requests is governed by its own privacy policy.

4. Notifications

Cold-weather alerts and reminders are delivered as local notifications generated on your device. They are not sent from, or routed through, any server operated by us.

5. Subscriptions & Payments

Frost Premium is an auto-renewable subscription available through Apple's App Store. All payment processing is handled entirely by Apple. We do not receive, store, or process any payment card information.

Subscription management (including cancellation) is handled through your Apple ID settings. Apple's privacy policy governs all payment-related data.

6. Third-Party Services

The only external service Frost contacts directly is OpenWeather, and only to fetch weather for your location as described above. iCloud sync is provided by Apple. Frost does not integrate any analytics, advertising, or tracking SDKs. We do not use:

7. PDF Export

When you export a PDF report for your doctor, the document is generated entirely on your device and shared directly through iOS's native share sheet (to email, AirDrop, Files, etc.). The PDF is not transmitted to or stored on any server operated by us.

8. Children's Privacy

Frost is not directed at children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect any information from children. Because we collect no data from any users, this concern does not apply in practice - but we note it for completeness.

9. Changes to This Policy

If we make material changes to this privacy policy, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the app after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.

10. Your Rights

Because we do not collect or store any of your personal data on our systems, there is no data for us to provide, correct, or delete on your behalf. You can remove your data at any time by deleting the app and clearing its data from your iCloud settings.
