Plain English summary: Oruvia is a UV tracking and SPF reminder tool. It is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice. The AI Coach sends your skin profile to Anthropic's API — you can opt out by not using that screen. By using Oruvia, you agree to these terms.
By downloading, installing, or using the Oruvia mobile application or visiting getoruvia.com (collectively, the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.
These Terms apply to all users of the Service. The Service is operated by Oruvia ("we," "us," or "our"). If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.
Oruvia provides personalized UV exposure tracking, SPF reapplication reminders, and AI-powered sunscreen recommendations. You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. If you are under 18, you represent that you have obtained parental or guardian consent.
To use the core timer feature, you must grant location permission. This is used solely to retrieve live UV index data for your area. If you grant background location permission, the app may also access your location while in the background to keep UV readings accurate as you move. No location data is stored persistently on our servers.
The Service is provided for personal, non-commercial use. You may not use the Service for any commercial purpose without our express written permission.
Oruvia supports anonymous use by default — no account creation or email address is required. If you choose to sign in with Google or Apple, your account is subject to the authentication provider's terms in addition to ours. We do not collect or store email addresses within the app.
You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account. Notify us immediately at info@getoruvia.com if you suspect unauthorized access.
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or that we reasonably believe pose a risk to the Service or other users.
Important: Oruvia is a consumer wellness application, not a medical device. It is not approved or cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or any other regulatory body. Nothing in the Service constitutes medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
The SPF reapplication timers, UV exposure estimates, and AI coaching recommendations are based on general scientific models and your self-reported skin profile. They are provided for informational and educational purposes only.
Individual UV sensitivity varies based on medications, medical conditions, and environmental variables that Oruvia cannot account for. Always consult a qualified dermatologist or healthcare provider regarding your personal sun protection needs.
Do not rely on Oruvia as your sole source of sun protection guidance. SPF reapplication estimates are approximations — sweating, swimming, toweling off, and cloud cover affect actual protection in ways the app cannot fully measure.
The Coach screen uses the Anthropic Claude API to generate sunscreen recommendations. When you use this feature, your skin profile — including skin tone, skin conditions, allergies, sun protection goal, preferred SPF level, application quality, and saved products — is sent to our Firebase Cloud Function, which forwards it to Anthropic's API. Your name and location are not included.
Anthropic does not retain this data beyond processing your request and does not use it to train their models via the API. See anthropic.com/privacy for their data practices.
Use of the Coach screen is entirely optional. All other features — the timer, Insights, and product filtering — work without it. If you do not wish your profile data to be sent to Anthropic, simply do not use the Coach screen.
AI recommendations are for informational purposes only and do not constitute medical or dermatological advice. See Section 4.
The Oruvia name, logo, brand identity, app design, website, and all content included in the Service are the intellectual property of Oruvia and are protected by applicable copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.
You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works from, publicly display, or commercially exploit any portion of the Service without our express written consent.
You retain ownership of any personal data you input into the app (such as your skin profile). By using the Service, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to use that data solely to provide the Service to you, as described in our Privacy Policy.
When using the Service, you agree not to:
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Oruvia disclaims all warranties, including but not limited to:
UV index data is sourced from WeatherAPI.com and is subject to the accuracy limitations of third-party weather data. We are not responsible for inaccuracies in third-party data.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Oruvia and its founders, officers, and affiliates shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of or inability to use the Service, including but not limited to:
In no event shall our total aggregate liability to you exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim, or (b) USD $50.
You may stop using the Service at any time by uninstalling the app and, if applicable, requesting account deletion by contacting info@getoruvia.com.
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms or if we discontinue the Service.
Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. Sections 4, 6, 8, 9, and 12 survive termination.
If Oruvia is involved in a merger, acquisition, asset sale, or similar transaction, your data and these Terms may be transferred to the acquiring entity as part of that transaction. We will notify you via push notification (or by email if you are on the waitlist) before your data is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy or terms of service.
In the event that Oruvia ceases operations, we will provide at least 30 days' notice before your data is deleted or transferred to any successor entity. You will have the opportunity to request deletion of your data during that period.
Any successor entity that acquires Oruvia's user data will be required to honor the commitments made in our Privacy Policy, including the prohibition on selling user data or using it for advertising purposes, unless you separately consent to different terms.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles.
Any disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Service shall be resolved through binding arbitration in accordance with the American Arbitration Association's Consumer Arbitration Rules, except that either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction for claims involving intellectual property or unauthorized access.
You agree that any arbitration or legal proceeding shall take place on an individual basis. Class actions and class arbitrations are not permitted to the extent allowed by applicable law.
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will notify you via push notification in the app (if enabled) or by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Service after any changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
