Privacy Policy
Last updated 20 June 2026.
Seven Tells is built for people in recovery, and recovery data is deeply personal. The short version: the app collects nothing about you, and the developer has no way to see what you record. There is no developer server and no developer account.
The developer cannot see your data
Your indicators, daily check-ins, scores, notes, journal entries, events, and contacts never leave your device except through your own private iCloud, or an export you choose to create yourself. The developer has no server that receives this data and no ability to read it. There is nothing for the developer to see, store, sell, or lose.
Analytics in the App
None added by the developer. Seven Tells contains no developer analytics, no advertising, no crash-reporting service, and no third-party SDKs.
Like every app on the App Store, Apple may collect standard, aggregate, privacy-preserving usage and crash statistics at the operating-system level. That data belongs to Apple, not the developer. You control it on your device under Settings, Privacy and Security, Analytics and Improvements. If you share it, the developer can only ever see anonymized, aggregated reports that Apple chooses to provide. The developer never sees your content or anything that identifies you.
Analytics on This Website
This website uses Umami, a privacy-friendly analytics tool, to understand how many people visit and which pages are useful. Umami uses no cookies, does not track you across other websites, and does not collect personal information. It tells us that a page was viewed, not who viewed it. This applies only to the website. It has nothing to do with the app or your recovery data.
Where Your Data Lives
Everything you enter is stored on your device. Sensitive notes are encrypted at rest with a key held only on your device, and the app is also protected by the iPhone's own file protection.
iCloud Sync (Optional)
Sync is turned off by default. If you choose to turn it on, your data is copied to your own private iCloud account using Apple's CloudKit, the same account your iPhone already uses. It moves between your devices, not to the developer, who has no access to your iCloud data. If you enable Apple's Advanced Data Protection, that data is end-to-end encrypted so that not even Apple can read it. You can turn sync off at any time, and optionally remove the copy stored in iCloud.
What We Share
Nothing, because we have nothing to share. Any export you create (CSV, JSON, Markdown, or PDF) is generated on your device and goes only where you choose to send it.
Children
Seven Tells is intended for adults managing their own recovery and is not directed at children.
Changes
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted here with a new date.
