ClearDay ("the App", "we", "us", "our") is developed and published by Appgea ("the Developer"). This Privacy Policy explains what information the App processes, how it is processed, and the rights you have in relation to that information.
It applies to both editions of ClearDay:
- ClearDay for iOS (
com.appgea.clearday), including its widgets, Lock Screen widgets, StandBy presentations, App Intents, and Siri Shortcuts. - ClearDay for Android (
com.appgea.clearday), including its home-screen widgets.
The two editions are separate applications built for their own platform. They share the same product, the same on-device-only design, and this policy. Where a section applies to only one platform, it says so.
By downloading, installing, or using ClearDay, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.
1. The Short Version
- We do not operate any servers that store your personal data.
- We do not collect analytics, advertising identifiers, or behavioral data for advertising or tracking.
- We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with anyone.
- All data you enter (quit date, cigarettes per day, pack price, cravings, reasons, pledge, notes) is stored locally on your device.
- iOS only: if you have iCloud enabled, your data may sync across your Apple devices via Apple's CloudKit — we never see it.
- Android only: ClearDay does not sync between devices. If Android's system Auto Backup is on, Android may copy the App's data to your own Google account — we never see it.
- Purchase and subscription status is processed by Apple (iOS) or Google (Android), and by RevenueCat, so the App can tell whether your subscription or lifetime access is active.
2. Who We Are (Data Controller)
Appgea is the data controller for any limited information processed in connection with the App.
Contact: privacy@appgea.com
3. Information Processed by the App
3.1 Information You Provide and Store Locally
The following information is collected by the App solely to power its features and is stored on your device. This is identical on iOS and Android:
- Quit date and any subsequent streak-reset dates
- Cigarettes per day, pack size, pack price, currency, and locale
- Biggest trigger, years smoking, previous quit attempts, what broke your last attempt, who/what you are quitting for, readiness rating
- Your free-text "why" reason and your list of quit reasons
- Your pledge signature (an image drawn on-device)
- Craving logs (intensity, trigger, context, action taken, completion)
- Streak-reset records (date, previous streak length, optional notes, optional trigger, optional recovery plan, optional risk window)
- Milestone achievements and whether they have been viewed/celebrated
- Savings-goal title and target amount
- Optional accountability buddy name (stored locally only — we never contact anyone)
- App preferences (theme, language, notification settings)
This information never leaves your device except through the optional platform sync or backup described in §5, or when you explicitly export/share a generated share card.
3.2 Information Processed by Apple (iOS Edition)
Apple processes the following in connection with the iOS App; we do not see it:
- Purchase transactions — made through the App Store and governed by Apple's terms and privacy policy.
- iCloud backup and CloudKit sync — if you have these enabled on your Apple ID.
- Notification permission, settings, and pending local notifications — local notifications are scheduled and delivered entirely on-device; no push token is created or sent to us.
- App Store Connect crash reports and diagnostics — only if you opted into "Share with App Developers" in iOS Settings. These are aggregated by Apple and contain no identifying user data.
3.3 Information Processed by Google (Android Edition)
Google processes the following in connection with the Android App; we do not see it:
- Purchase transactions — made through Google Play Billing and governed by Google's terms and privacy policy.
- Android Auto Backup — if backup is enabled on your device, Android may copy the App's local data to your personal Google account. The backup is encrypted and tied to your device credentials. We have no access to it. You can turn it off in Android Settings → Google → Backup.
- Notification permission and scheduled work — notifications are scheduled and delivered entirely on-device by Android; no push token is created or sent to us. ClearDay does not use Firebase Cloud Messaging.
- Google Play crash reports and ANR data — collected by Google Play when you have usage-and-diagnostics sharing enabled. These are aggregated by Google and reach us only as anonymous stack traces in Play Console.
3.4 Information Processed by RevenueCat
We use RevenueCat, Inc. ("RevenueCat") to manage and validate subscription and lifetime-purchase entitlements on both platforms. When you launch the App, RevenueCat receives:
- A randomly generated anonymous user ID created on-device by the RevenueCat SDK (not linked to your name, email, Apple ID, Google account, or any other identifier you give us).
- Your App Store receipt (iOS) or Google Play purchase token (Android) for purchase validation.
- Purchase history and entitlement state for ClearDay products.
- Basic technical metadata such as OS version, device model class, app version, country code, and subscription state.
RevenueCat returns your entitlement status so the App knows whether "ClearDay Pro" is active. We do not transmit any of the health, behavioral, or free-text content listed in §3.1 to RevenueCat. RevenueCat's privacy practices are available at https://www.revenuecat.com/privacy.
3.5 Information We Do Not Collect
On either platform, we do not collect, and have never collected, for advertising, tracking, analytics, or an Appgea-operated user account:
- Your name, email address, phone number, or postal address
- Your Apple ID, Sign in with Apple identifier, Google account, or any social-login identifier
- Precise or coarse location
- Contacts, photos, camera, microphone, health records, HealthKit data, or Health Connect data
- Advertising identifiers (IDFA, Android Advertising ID), fingerprinting signals, or cross-app tracking data
- Browsing history or usage analytics
The iOS App does not request App Tracking Transparency permission because it does not track you across apps or websites. The Android App declares no advertising identifier permission and contains no advertising SDK.
4. How the App Uses Information
Locally stored information is used exclusively to:
- Calculate and display your streak, money saved, cigarettes avoided, and time reclaimed
- Schedule local milestone, weekly summary, re-engagement, and post-reset notifications
- Render home-screen widgets (and, on iOS, Lock Screen widgets and StandBy presentations)
- Respond to Siri / App Intents queries on iOS ("How long since I quit", "How much have I saved")
- Provide craving-support tools (breathing timer, motivation, recovery plan, insights)
- Generate share cards you explicitly choose to share
Subscription information (from Apple, Google, and RevenueCat) is used only to gate access to paid features.
5. Local Storage, Sync, and Backup
5.1 iOS Edition
Local storage. All user content is persisted on-device using Apple's SwiftData framework.
App Groups. The App and its widget extension share data via the App Group group.com.appgea.clearday, stored in a private container on your device. This enables widgets, Lock Screen widgets, StandBy, Siri, and App Intents to read your current stats without a network request.
iCloud sync (optional). SwiftData is configured with ModelConfiguration(cloudKitDatabase: .automatic) against the CloudKit container iCloud.com.appgea.clearday. If you are signed into iCloud on your device and have iCloud Drive enabled for ClearDay, your data may sync between your Apple devices through Apple's encrypted CloudKit service. This sync is end-to-end managed by Apple; we have no ability to read, export, or delete data in your iCloud. You can disable sync at any time in iOS Settings → [Your Name] → iCloud → Apps Using iCloud.
5.2 Android Edition
Local storage. All user content is persisted on-device in the App's private storage using Jetpack DataStore, serialized as JSON. Nothing is written to shared or external storage except a share-card image you explicitly export.
Widgets. The home-screen widgets read the same private on-device store through the App's own widget provider. No network request and no cross-app data sharing is involved.
No cross-device sync. The Android edition has no cloud sync. Your data does not move between Android devices, and it does not sync with the iOS edition. Moving between platforms means starting the data fresh.
Android Auto Backup. The App allows Android's system backup. If backup is enabled on your device, Android may copy the App's private data to your personal Google account so it can be restored on a new device. This is handled entirely by Android and Google; Appgea has no access to it. Disable it in Android Settings → Google → Backup, or by turning backup off for ClearDay.
6. Notifications
ClearDay schedules local notifications only (milestones, weekly summary, re-engagement, post-reset support, reminders). They are generated and delivered entirely by the operating system on your device and never pass through our or any third-party server. There is no push infrastructure and no push token.
- iOS: disable at any time in iOS Settings → Notifications → ClearDay.
- Android: the App requests the
POST_NOTIFICATIONSpermission (Android 13+) andSCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARMso timed reminders fire on time. Disable at any time in Android Settings → Apps → ClearDay → Notifications.
7. Third-Party Services
The App relies on the following services. Each has its own privacy policy, which we encourage you to review:
| Provider | Platform | Purpose | Data received | Privacy policy |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Apple | iOS | App Store distribution, in-app purchases, iCloud/CloudKit sync, local notifications, Siri/App Intents, widgets, and system frameworks | Governed by Apple | https://www.apple.com/privacy/ |
| Google LLC | Android | Google Play distribution, Google Play Billing, Android Auto Backup, system notification and widget frameworks | Governed by Google | https://policies.google.com/privacy |
| RevenueCat, Inc. | Both | Subscription and lifetime-purchase entitlement management | Anonymous RevenueCat user ID, App Store receipt or Google Play purchase token, purchase history / entitlement state for ClearDay products, basic technical metadata | https://www.revenuecat.com/privacy |
We do not use Firebase, Google Analytics, Firebase Cloud Messaging, Facebook SDK, Amplitude, Mixpanel, Segment, Sentry, Crashlytics, AppsFlyer, Adjust, Branch, or any advertising network on either platform.
8. Legal Bases for Processing (EEA / UK Users)
For users in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, our legal bases under the GDPR / UK GDPR are:
- Performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b)) — to deliver the App, fulfill subscription purchases, and provide the features you request.
- Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)) — to validate subscription entitlements (via RevenueCat) and maintain the App's security and integrity. These interests are balanced against your right to privacy.
- Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)) — where you grant operating-system permissions such as notifications.
Because we do not collect personal data on our own servers, no profiling or automated decision-making with legal effect takes place.
9. Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the following rights:
- Access the data we process about you
- Rectify inaccurate data
- Erase your data ("right to be forgotten")
- Restrict or object to processing
- Data portability
- Withdraw consent at any time, without affecting prior lawful processing
- Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority (EEA/UK)
Because substantially all data is stored on your device, you can exercise most of these rights directly from within the App:
- Access / portability: Your data is already on your device. A future App update may provide an in-app JSON export; for the time being, contact privacy@appgea.com and we will explain the current export options.
- Rectification: Edit any profile value in Settings.
- Erasure (iOS): Delete the App from your device. To also wipe iCloud-synced data, go to iOS Settings → [Your Name] → iCloud → Manage Account Storage → ClearDay → Delete Data.
- Erasure (Android): Uninstall the App, or wipe it in place via Android Settings → Apps → ClearDay → Storage → Clear storage. To also remove the system backup copy, turn off backup for ClearDay in Android Settings → Google → Backup, or delete the device backup from your Google account.
- RevenueCat: To permanently revoke the anonymous RevenueCat ID associated with your device, email privacy@appgea.com.
- Subscription data: Apple (iOS) or Google (Android) holds your purchase records. Apple users can request a copy or erasure via https://privacy.apple.com. Android users can do the same via https://myaccount.google.com. You can also contact RevenueCat at privacy@revenuecat.com referencing your anonymous RC user ID (available in developer builds).
California Residents (CCPA / CPRA)
In the last 12 months we have not sold or shared personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, and we do not sell or share personal information today. California residents have the right to know, delete, correct, and opt out of sale/sharing (not applicable — we do neither), and the right not to be discriminated against for exercising these rights.
10. Data Retention
- On-device data is retained until you delete it or uninstall the App.
- iCloud data (iOS) is retained until you delete it via iOS Settings or sign out of iCloud.
- Android Auto Backup data is retained by Google under Google's own backup retention rules, and is deleted when you remove the device backup or when the backup expires after prolonged device inactivity.
- RevenueCat retains anonymous subscription records for the period required to operate and audit the subscription service (typically the lifetime of the subscription plus a reasonable period for tax, accounting, and fraud-prevention purposes).
- Apple and Google retain purchase records under their own retention schedules.
11. Security
User content stays on your device, protected by the platform's app sandbox and file-system encryption — iOS Data Protection on Apple devices, and Android's per-app private storage plus file-based encryption on Android devices. Platform backups (iCloud, Android Auto Backup) are encrypted by Apple and Google respectively. Network traffic between the App and RevenueCat uses TLS. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security, but the design minimizes the amount of data that could be exposed in the first place.
12. International Transfers
RevenueCat processes data in the United States. Where required (EEA/UK/Swiss users), transfers rely on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent safeguards implemented by RevenueCat. Apple's and Google's international transfers are governed by their own privacy policies.
13. Children's Privacy
ClearDay is intended for adults. It is rated 17+ on the App Store and carries an adult content rating on Google Play. The App is not directed to children under 13 (or under 16 in jurisdictions where the applicable age is higher), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided information through the App, please contact privacy@appgea.com and we will take appropriate steps.
14. Medical and Health Disclaimer
ClearDay is a motivational and tracking tool. It is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Nothing in the App should be interpreted as medical advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional for guidance on smoking cessation, nicotine withdrawal, or any health concern.
15. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in the App, applicable law, or our practices. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date and, for material changes, provide in-app notice. Continued use of the App after the effective date of a revised policy constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
