Reclaim for iPhone
Privacy
Your sleep records stay on your iPhone. Reclaim has no accounts, and we can't see what you log. The few things that leave your phone are listed below.
This policy covers the Reclaim app for iPhone and these web pages. Questions: vern@ironwoodlab.com.
What stays on your iPhone
Reclaim keeps what you enter, and what it needs to carry out your choices, on your iPhone. Depending on what you use, that's:
- What you log: morning diary answers, daytime tiredness, naps and caffeine, nights you needed help, the practices you start, and your answers to Reclaim's questions.
- Your plan: your usual bedtime and get-up time, changes for one night, days off, and the alarms and reminders you set.
- Fortress: the apps you choose to block or allow, and what happens when you ask for more time. Screen Time gives Reclaim these choices without app names.
- Settings: your choices for reminders, breathing, sound, the bedtime countdown and other features.
Reclaim uses these on your phone to show Today and Patterns and to run your plan. We never receive them. The sleep records are stored with iOS file protection.
Your phone use after bedtime. If you allow Screen Time access, Reclaim keeps a rough count of how long your phone is used after bedtime, for your weekly review and Patterns. Through that access, iOS tells Reclaim each time your phone use passes another 5 minutes, and after the first hour, another half hour, never which apps you used. The count stays on your iPhone, with your other Reclaim data and in its backups, and Reclaim never sends it anywhere. Delete all data removes it, and Settings → Your data → Count phone use after bedtime stops it. Reclaim doesn't read Apple Health.
What leaves your iPhone
Anonymous usage counts. Unless you turn this off, Reclaim sends a few counts that tell us whether it's working for people:
- which setup pages were reached, which features setup turned on, and whether notifications were allowed;
- the days Reclaim was opened;
- for each night: whether Reclaim was opened, whether a diary was logged, how many practices and night-help visits there were, whether Fortress, the wake alarm and each reminder were on, and how often Fortress was asked for more time;
- when you turn Fortress, the wake alarm or a reminder on or off, or change when it comes, without the new time;
- each try at an app Fortress blocks: whether it stayed blocked or you took more time, and how;
- when you tap one of Reclaim's notifications: which one, the time you tapped it, and how long after it arrived;
- when you open the paywall and from where, start a trial, buy or restore a subscription, and how a trial ended;
- which sessions of the course you open and finish, and which of its practices you complete;
- when you open and finish a weekly review;
- how you found Reclaim, if you answered;
- for an install from one of our Apple Ads ads, which campaign and keyword it came from (see below);
- the country of your App Store account;
- whether you're in a trial, subscribed, or have early access;
- the app version.
The counts carry a random ID made on your phone, which isn't linked to your name, Apple Account or device; Delete all data replaces it. They carry the date, and a time of day only for a notification you tap. They never include diary answers, your bedtime or get-up time, anything you type, app names, prices, or why you asked for more time.
They're stored by PostHog, our analytics provider, in the European Union. IP addresses are discarded and location isn't looked up. We keep them only as long as they help us improve Reclaim. To stop sending them, turn off Settings → Your data → Share anonymous usage; counts waiting to be sent are dropped too.
Installs from our ads. If you install Reclaim after seeing one of our ads, Apple's AdAttributionKit tells the ad network that an ad led to an install. Apple's report says nothing about you, and Reclaim receives nothing from it. When Reclaim is first set up, and only while Share anonymous usage is on, it also asks Apple whether one of our Apple Ads ads in the App Store led to the install, and if so which campaign and keyword, and adds that to the counts. Apple's answer says nothing about you or when you saw the ad. Reclaim doesn't track you across other companies' apps or websites.
Purchases. If you buy something in Reclaim, Apple handles the payment. We never see your card or Apple Account details. Your iPhone tells Reclaim what you've bought, so it can unlock it. The counts say when a trial starts or ends and when a subscription is bought or restored, with its plan, never the price.
From Apple. If you've chosen in iPhone Settings to share analytics with app developers, Apple may send us crash reports and usage statistics. In TestFlight builds, Apple also collects crash logs and any feedback you send; see Apple's TestFlight & Privacy.
Email and feedback. If you email us or send TestFlight feedback, we receive what you include. Please leave out private sleep notes. We use it to reply and fix problems.
What we promise
- We never sell your data.
- We never use your sleep records for advertising.
- Before anything new leaves your phone, such as syncing to a second iPhone, we'll update this page and ask you in the app first.
Your choices
Everything you enter in Reclaim is up to you, and so is sharing anonymous usage. You can ask us what we hold about you, such as your emails, and ask us to correct or delete it, by writing to vern@ironwoodlab.com. Counts already sent can't be linked to you, so we can't single yours out.
Deleting your data
Settings → Your data → Delete all data erases everything Reclaim keeps on this iPhone and stops its alarms, reminders, bedtime countdown, Fortress and the count of your phone use after bedtime. Deleting the app also removes its data; offloading it keeps the data.
Your iPhone's backups, in iCloud or on a computer, may hold an earlier copy, and restoring one brings it back. Manage them in your backup settings. We can't reach your phone or its backups, so we can't recover or erase them for you.
