Privacy Policy

Anesis is a journaling and reflection app. It is built to be private by architecture, not by promise: the app has no account system and no server, and what you write does not leave your phone.

The short version

• Anesis does not collect, transmit, or sell your personal information.
• Your journal entries, moods, practice history, and settings are stored only on your own device.
• There are no advertisements, no analytics, and no third-party trackers.
• You are not asked to create an account, and there is nothing to log in to.

What Anesis stores, and where

Everything you create in Anesis is written to a database file inside the app's private storage on your device:

• Journal entries, including any prompt responses and free writing
• Mood ratings and emotion words
• Saved affirmations
• Practice and breathing session history
• Intentions and reminder times
• App settings and onboarding answers

This data is readable only by Anesis. It is not uploaded anywhere, and the developer has no access to it and no way to retrieve it.

Uninstalling Anesis deletes this data from your device.

Device backup

Android may include Anesis's data in your device's own backup to your Google Account, if you have Android Backup enabled in your system settings. That backup is made and encrypted by Google, is tied to your Google Account, and is restored to your next device by Android — not by Anesis. The developer cannot access it.

You can turn this off in Android's system settings, under Backup.

Notifications

If you turn on reminders, Anesis schedules them locally through Android's own notification system. No push server is involved, no notification token is created, and nothing about your reminders is sent off the device.

Purchases

Anesis offers a one-time in-app purchase. Payments are processed by Google Play. The developer never sees or stores your payment details.

To recognise your purchase and restore it if you reinstall the app, Anesis uses RevenueCat, a purchase-management service. RevenueCat receives a randomly generated identifier for your installation together with the purchase information supplied by Google Play. That identifier is not linked to your name, email address, or anything you have written in the app, and no journal content is ever sent to RevenueCat.

RevenueCat's privacy policy: revenuecat.com/privacy

Links

Some screens can open a web page in your browser. Once a page opens, that website's own privacy policy applies. Anesis does not track which links you open.

Children

Anesis is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect information from anyone.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the date at the top of this page will change with it. If a future version of the app ever collects something it does not collect today, that will be stated here before it ships.
