Acceptable Use Policy
A few clear rules for using NOOP and the project that supports it. The point is simple: use it for your own wellbeing, play fair, and do not abuse the shared infrastructure.
Last updated: 30 June 2026
The short version
- Use NOOP lawfully and for your own health and wellbeing.
- Do not pretend NOOP is an official WHOOP or Oura product, or that we are affiliated with them.
- Respect the source-code licence: no selling, no commercial use, no stripping notices, no passing it off as your own.
- Do not spam, attack, or surveil other people through the project.
1. Use NOOP for yourself, lawfully
NOOP is a free, open-source app that reads your own wearable over Bluetooth and analyses the data on your device. Use it for your own health and wellbeing, and keep within the law where you live. NOOP is not a medical device and gives no medical advice. Do not rely on it for diagnosis or treatment.
2. Do not misrepresent NOOP
NOOP is an independent, open-source project run by a small team. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to WHOOP or Oura. Do not present NOOP as an official WHOOP or Oura product, do not imply any partnership or endorsement, and do not use it in a way that confuses people about who makes it. WHOOP and Oura are the trademarks of their respective owners.
3. Respect the licence
The source code is released under the PolyForm Noncommercial licence. That means you may use, study, modify, and share it for non-commercial purposes. You may not sell NOOP or use it commercially, you may not strip out the copyright or licence notices, and you may not pass the work off as your own. If you build on it, keep the notices intact and make clear what is yours and what is ours.
4. Do not abuse the infrastructure
The project runs on shared infrastructure: the code repositories, the mirror, and the issue tracker. Do not flood them with spam, run automated abuse against them, or try to disrupt, overload, or break them. Use the issue tracker for genuine bug reports and discussion, not for advertising or harassment.
5. Do not surveil other people
NOOP is for your own data. Do not use it to monitor, track, or collect data about another person without their clear consent. Reading someone else's wearable or health data without permission is not acceptable use, whatever the law technically allows.
6. What happens if you break these rules
We may remove abusive content and block access to the project infrastructure for anyone who ignores these rules. We keep this short on purpose. Act in good faith and you will never run into it.
