Dewy Privacy Policy
Dewy is a skincare companion made with love. Your privacy matters to us, so this policy is short and honest.
Last updated: 6 July 2026
The short version
Dewy has no accounts, no servers of our own, and no analytics. Your skincare data — quiz answers, routine, check-ins, photos, and shelf — stays on your device.
The one exception is when you choose to scan a product: to look it up, the product’s barcode is sent to trusted product databases. Details are below.
What Dewy stores
Everything you create in Dewy — your quiz answers, skin type, personalized routine, Glow Score, streak, skin check-ins and life tags, water log, shelf and wishlist, and settings — is saved only on your iPhone, in the app’s private storage. We have no accounts and no analytics, and we never see any of it.
Camera & progress photos
If you take progress photos, they are stored only on your device and are never uploaded to us. The camera is used solely to capture a photo you choose to take, or to scan a product barcode. You can also pick existing photos from your library instead.
Dewy never sends your photos anywhere, and does not use them for anything other than showing them back to you inside the app.
Scanning products (Scan & decode)
When you scan or enter a product barcode, Dewy looks it up so it can show the product’s name, image, and ingredients. To do this, the barcode number is sent to trusted third-party product databases:
- Open Beauty Facts — an open, community-run cosmetics database (for ingredients).
- UPCitemdb — a product barcode database (for the product name and image).
Only the barcode is sent — never your name, your skin profile, or any of your personal data. These lookups happen only when you actively scan or enter a barcode. Each service has its own privacy practices governing the request. The matching of a product to your skin then happens on your device.
Important: not medical advice
Dewy is a skincare and self-care tool only. It does not provide medical or dermatological advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Routines, ingredient notes, product matches, and Glow Scores are general informational suggestions, not professional guidance. Always talk to a qualified dermatologist or doctor about skin conditions, allergies, or reactions, and patch-test new products.
Notifications
If you turn on routine, water, or check-in reminders, Dewy schedules those notifications locally on your device. No reminder content ever leaves your phone.
Purchases (Glow+)
Glow+ subscriptions are handled entirely by Applethrough the App Store. Dewy uses Apple’s StoreKit to check whether you have an active subscription. We never see your name, payment details, or Apple ID. Apple’s handling of your purchase is covered by Apple’s Privacy Policy.
Children
Dewy is a general-audience app and does not knowingly collect any data from anyone, including children.
Changes
If this policy ever changes, we’ll update this page and the “Last updated” date above.
