Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 19, 2026

What we collect, and why

Information you give us

APPA works without an account. If you don’t sign in, the content you create stays on your device and we don’t receive it. What follows covers optional sign-in, analytics, and premium features.

• Your email address. Used only to sign you in and to send essential account-related messages (like sign-in links and important security or account notices). We don’t send marketing or promotional email.
• The content you create in the app. This includes your checklists, notes, and reflections. This stays on your device by default. If you sign in with a Premium subscription, then we will also store it on our servers to sync across devices and keep it backed up.

Some of this content can be personal and introspective. We treat it accordingly. We don’t sell it, use it for advertising, or build a profile of you from it.

Information we collect automatically

• Usage analytics. We collect pseudonymous behavioral data to understand how the app is used and what to improve. Alongside these events we also receive standard technical information such as your device model, operating system, app version, and an approximate location derived from your IP address. We do not attach the content of your notes, tasks, or reflections to any of this. Analytics is on by default, and you can turn it off in the app’s settings at any time.
• Basic technical and log data. When the app connects to our servers, our hosting provider records standard log information — such as your IP address and the time of the request — to operate the service.
• Subscription status. If you subscribe to a premium plan, we record that you’re a subscriber and basic transaction details (see Payments below).

We do not collect your precise location, your contacts, or device advertising identifiers, and we do not use third-party advertising trackers.

How your information is used

We use the information above to:

• Understand usage so we can improve the app.
• Sign you in.
• Process subscriptions.
• Store and sync your content, if you’re a premium subscriber.
• Generate your Insights, if you’re a premium subscriber (see below).

Insights (premium feature)

If you’re a premium subscriber, APPA generates written “Insights” of your reflection and activity trends. This runs automatically in our backend.

To produce these summaries, relevant content is sent to a third-party AI provider (currently OpenAI) to generate the text. We do not send your name or email to the AI provider.

Under OpenAI’s API terms, content sent this way is not used to train their models, and it is retained by OpenAI for a limited period (up to 30 days) only to monitor for abuse, after which it is deleted.

The service providers we use

We rely on a small number of third parties to run APPA.

Our hosting (Supabase) and analytics (PostHog) providers store and process data on servers in the United States. If you use APPA from outside the US, your information will be transferred to and processed in the US.

Payments

Subscriptions are billed through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Those payments are processed by Apple or Google under their own terms — we never receive or store your credit card number.

Data storage and retention

• Where it lives. Your content is stored locally on your device and, only when you sign in with a Premium account, synced to our hosting provider (Supabase) on servers in the United States.
• Retention. We keep your account data and content for as long as your account exists. When you delete your account, we delete it (see below). We keep usage analytics for as long as it’s needed for the purposes described in this policy.

Deleting your account and data

You can delete your account at any time: open the Account screen in the app and tap Delete account. When you do:

• Your account and all the content you created are permanently and immediately deleted from our database. This can’t be undone.
• Your subscriber record is removed from RevenueCat. (This does not cancel the underlying App Store / Play Store subscription — you must do that through Apple or Google.)
• Previously collected usage analytics may remain in our analytics provider for a period afterward. This data isn’t your notes or reflections — it’s aggregate behavioral data, and it’s no longer connected to your deleted account.

Children

APPA is not directed at children. You must be at least 16 years old to use it. We don’t knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16. If you believe someone under 16 has given us their information, email hi@justanotter.day and we’ll delete it.

Your rights

No matter where you live, you can:

• Access and export your data. Your content lives on your device and you can ask us for a copy of what’s stored on our servers.
• Correct your data. Edit your content directly in the app at any time.
• Delete your data. Delete individual items in the app, or delete your whole account (see below) to remove everything.
• Reach a human. Email hi@justanotter.day with any privacy request and we’ll respond.

If you’re in California (CCPA/CPRA)

You have the right to know what personal information we collect and how we use it (this policy describes that), the right to access and delete it, and the right to opt out of any “sale” or “sharing” of personal information. We do not sell or share your personal information, and we do not process it for cross-context behavioral advertising. To exercise your rights, email hi@justanotter.day.

Changes to this policy

If we make changes to this policy, we’ll update the “Last updated” date at the top. We encourage you to review this page from time to time. Your continued use of APPA after changes take effect means you accept the updated policy.
