Affirm Aloud ("the App", "we", "us") is a personal affirmations and manifestation app. We built it privacy-first: you do not create an account, and the vast majority of your data never leaves your phone. This policy explains exactly what we do and do not collect.
The short version. No account. No sign-in. Your profile and practice history stay on your device. To personalize your affirmations and chat replies, the text you provide (your goal, struggles, mood, intentions, and messages) is securely sent to our AI service for processing — without your name, email, or any account identifier, because none exist. Anonymous usage statistics and crash reports help us improve the App. We do not sell your data. Ever.
The following is saved locally on your phone (using your operating system's standard on-device storage) and is not transmitted to us in a way that identifies you:
If you delete the App, this information is deleted with it. You can also clear it at any time from Settings → Reset.
To personalize your affirmations and chat replies, the App sends the following anonymous text to our processing service (a Cloudflare Worker that relays the request to Anthropic's Claude API):
This request contains no name, no email address, no account, no device identifier, and no advertising ID. It cannot be linked back to you as an individual. We do not retain these requests to build a profile, and they are not used to train AI models. Please avoid typing information that could personally identify you or others.
Three optional features use your device's sensors. All of them work entirely on your device — nothing they capture is ever uploaded to us or anyone else:
All three features are optional. Declining any of these permissions never blocks your daily practice.
Subscriptions and one-time purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store, and managed with the help of RevenueCat, our subscription infrastructure provider. We never see or store your payment card details. Apple and RevenueCat process a purchase token and receipt so we can confirm your subscription status. See Apple's Privacy Policy and RevenueCat's Privacy Policy.
Reminders and streak nudges are scheduled locally on your device. We do not run a server that pushes messages to you, and we do not track whether you open them.
To understand which parts of the App are useful and to fix problems quickly, we collect:
Neither service receives your name, email, or advertising ID, and we do not use this data for advertising or sell it to anyone.
Affirm Aloud is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them. The App is rated for a general or teen audience and is intended for personal wellbeing, not medical use.
Affirm Aloud is a self-help and wellbeing tool. It does not provide medical, psychological, or therapeutic treatment, and is not a substitute for professional care. If you are in crisis, please contact a qualified professional or, in the U.S., call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline).
Because we do not hold an identifiable profile of you, the simplest way to exercise your rights is on your own device: clear your data from Settings → Reset, or delete the App. If you have a question about your privacy, contact us at the address below.
We may update this policy as the App evolves. Material changes will be reflected here with a new "Last updated" date.
