mindfulPrivacy Policy
This policy explains what the Mindful app ("Mindful", "we") collects, why, and the choices you have. Mindful is published by PE Yalovenko Vladyslav. In short: there's no account, what you write stays on your iPhone, and we only collect anonymous usage data that we can't link to you.
What stays on your device
These are stored on your iPhone (and in an App Group shared with Mindful's widgets). We don't receive them:
- The name you enter during setup.
- Your answers to the onboarding questions and your plan.
- Your favorites, your own affirmations, your gratitude notes and your mood check-ins.
- Your streak, badges, theme, widget and reminder settings.
Mindful doesn't sync this data to iCloud or to our servers. If you delete the app, it's deleted.
App Lock and Screen Time
App Lock uses Apple's Screen Time frameworks (Family Controls, Managed Settings and Device Activity). The apps you pick are stored as private tokens that only iOS can read. We can't see which apps you picked or how long you use them, and this information never leaves your device.
Anonymous usage analytics
To understand which features help, Mindful sends anonymous product events, such as "breathing ritual finished" or "widget added", to our analytics provider PostHog. These events:
- use a random ID created on your device, not your name, email or Apple ID;
- don't include anything you write in the app;
- aren't used for advertising and aren't shared with data brokers;
- aren't combined with data from other apps or websites (no tracking).
You can turn this off any time in Mindful, My space, Share anonymous usage.
Purchases
Apple processes all payments. We never see your card or payment details. To manage Mindful Plus, we use RevenueCat, which receives your App Store purchase receipts and a random app user ID so it can confirm that your subscription is active. Read RevenueCat's privacy policy.
Notifications
Reminders are scheduled on your iPhone as local notifications. We don't use push notification servers.
Service providers
| Provider | What it receives | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Apple | Purchases, as described in Apple's own policy | Payments, App Store |
| RevenueCat | Purchase receipts, random app user ID | Subscription status |
| PostHog | Anonymous product events, random device ID, app version, device model, iOS version | Analytics |
Children
Mindful isn't directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect data from them.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example in the EU, the UK or California), you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal data and to object to its use. Because the data we receive is anonymous, we usually can't tie it to you, but write to us and we'll do what we can. You can also turn off analytics in the app at any time.
Changes
If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top. If a change affects how we use your data, we'll tell you in the app.
