Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 29, 2026

The short version

Our apps are anonymous and on-device. We do not require an account. Your recovery data — journal entries, sobriety date, lesson progress, inventory entries, favorites — lives on your phone only. We never see it, never store it on a server, and never sell it.

What we collect

• Anonymous usage analytics: aggregate events such as "a lesson was opened" or "onboarding was completed." No personally identifying information is captured. This helps us understand which features are useful.
• Subscription events: when you start a free trial or subscribe, Apple notifies us that a subscription occurred. Apple never shares your name, email, or payment details with us.
• Ad attribution (if applicable): if you installed the app after tapping a Meta (Facebook / Instagram) advertisement, an anonymous device-level identifier may be shared with Meta so the ad can be credited with your install. You can opt out at any time via iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.

What we do not collect

• Your name, email address, phone number, or location.
• Anything you type — journal entries, reflections, food plans, boundary lists, gratitude entries, or any other personal text.
• Which specific readings, audios, or lessons you open. We count only totals, never your individual choices.
• Health, dietary, weight, or other sensitive personal data.
• Information about your fellowship membership, meeting attendance, or recovery history.

How your data is stored

All recovery data is stored locally on your device using Apple's built-in local storage technology. If you delete the app, your data is deleted with it. If you use the in-app reset option, your data is deleted. We hold no copy of your data on any server.

Audio and content delivery

Speaker share audios and some reading content are streamed from our content servers. Our hosting infrastructure receives standard network request data (IP address, timestamp, file requested) for the duration of each stream. We do not log or associate this with any individual user identity.

Third-party services

Our apps use a small number of third-party services to operate. Each is limited in what it receives:

• Apple (subscriptions): handles all payment processing. Apple's privacy policy governs what they collect from you.
• Analytics provider: receives anonymous, aggregate event data only. No personally identifying information is shared.
• Ad attribution provider: receives an anonymous device identifier if you arrived via a paid advertisement. iOS App Tracking Transparency controls apply.

Children

Our apps are intended for adults (18+). We do not knowingly collect any data from anyone under 13. If you believe a minor has used our apps, please contact us and we will take appropriate action.

Your rights

Because we do not collect personal information linked to your identity, there is no personal profile to access, correct, or delete. Your recovery data exists only on your device and is fully under your control. To delete all data, delete the app or use the in-app reset option.

Changes to this policy

If we make material changes to how we handle data, we will update this page and the "Last updated" date above. Our commitment to anonymous, local-first storage will not change.
