Vial: Peptide Tracker / Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 4, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Vial (operated by Fabio Jonathan Arifin via EchoForge, the "Operator") handles information when you use the Vial iOS application. We built Vial to be local-first: your protocol data lives on your device and never reaches our servers.

Your Protocol Data Stays on Your Device

All protocol data, injection logs, vial configurations, body metrics, bloodwork values, progress photos, and chat history are stored exclusively on your device using on-device SQLite. This data is never uploaded to any server, never synced to the cloud, and never accessible by us. No account is required to use Vial.

Information We Collect

Information We Do Not Collect

We Do Not Sell or Share Your Data

We do not sell your personal information. We do not share your data with advertisers, data brokers, or analytics aggregators. We do not engage in cross-app tracking. We have not built and do not maintain any advertising profile of you.

Third-Party Service Providers

Vial uses the following third-party providers, each with a defined role and minimal data exposure:

These providers may process data in the United States or other jurisdictions. We do not share your data with any other third parties.

Vial AI (Available with Vial)

When you use Vial AI, your message and a small amount of structured protocol context (active peptide name, dose, schedule, last logged dose, recent injection sites, side effects logged in the last 14 days) are transmitted from your device to Cloudflare Workers, then to OpenRouter, then to OpenAI for processing. The response is streamed back to your device. We do not store messages on our servers. OpenAI and OpenRouter process under their own privacy policies and do not use your messages to train models. You can clear your chat history at any time from within the app.

A consent sheet appears before your first Vial AI message disclosing this data flow. Your consent is recorded with a timestamp on your device. You can decline and continue to use the rest of Vial.

Vial AI is educational only. It is not medical advice, cannot diagnose, cannot prescribe, and cannot recommend a specific dose. Responses can contain inaccuracies. Always consult a licensed clinician for your specific situation.

Apple Health

Vial offers an optional, read-only integration with Apple Health to import your weight history. The integration runs only with your explicit grant and only on your device. Imported values are stored locally and are never uploaded to our servers or any third party.

Purchases and Payments

All purchases are processed through the Apple App Store. We do not handle or store payment card data. Subscription management and cancellation are done through your Apple ID account settings. Refund requests are subject to Apple's refund policies.

Data Retention

Your on-device data persists until you delete the app or use the "Reset all data" option in Settings. Anonymous analytics events are retained by PostHog for up to 12 months. RevenueCat retains purchase records for the duration required to manage your subscription and as required by law.

Your Rights (GDPR, UK GDPR, and Applicable Privacy Laws)

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction with similar protections, you have the following rights with respect to personal data we process:

California Residents (CCPA / CPRA)

California residents have the right to know what personal information is collected, the right to delete personal information, the right to correct inaccurate personal information, the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, and the right to non- discrimination for exercising these rights. We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. To exercise any right, email support@echoforge.to. We will respond within 45 days.

Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

Vial does not engage in cross-context behavioral tracking and does not change behavior in response to Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signals because no such tracking exists in the app to disable.

Security

Your protocol data does not leave your device, so it is protected by your device's own security (passcode, Face ID, Secure Enclave). Communications with third-party services use TLS encryption in transit. The Cloudflare Worker enforces a per-device daily rate limit and validates an app-level shared secret on every request. No system is perfectly secure, but our local-first approach significantly limits exposure.

Children's Privacy

Vial is rated 18+ on iOS 26+ (17+ on earlier iOS) and is not intended for anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect any data from minors. If you believe we have, email us and we will delete the records.

International Transfers

Our third-party service providers are located primarily in the United States. By using Vial outside the United States, you acknowledge that anonymous analytics, purchase records, and (if you use Vial AI) message content may be processed in the United States.

Medical Disclaimer

Vial is an informational tracking and calculation tool. It does not provide medical advice and is not a substitute for consultation with a licensed healthcare provider. Always follow the guidance of your physician or compounding pharmacist.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated through the app and reflected in the "Last updated" date above.
