HydroTrack uses HealthKit in order to record drinking data to the Nutrition section in the Health application. The app requests access to the following data types: Water, Caffeine, Alcohol. When you add a drink to the app, it automatically sends to the Health app the nutritional information of that drink: Water, Caffeine, Alcohol. The synchronization with Apple Health can be switched off in the application Settings.
