Privacy Policy

1. What this policy covers

This Privacy Policy explains what information Footing (“we”, “us”) collects when you use the Footing iOS app (“the App”) and this website (“the Site”), how we use it, and the choices you have. We’re a small team building Footing for people navigating the weeks after a layoff. We take privacy seriously because the audience deserves it.

2. Information we collect

Account identifier. When you open the App for the first time, we create an anonymous account so your progress can sync across devices. You can later link this account to an email address or your Apple ID — the underlying identifier stays the same.

Journey data. Your current day in the 90-day journey, your streak, which tasks you completed, and the minimal structured responses some tasks ask for (e.g. a number, a short list, a checklist). This is stored on your device and synced to our backend so it survives device changes.

Subscription state. Whether you have an active subscription (managed via Apple). We see entitlement state, not your payment details.

Diagnostic data. If the App crashes or errors, we receive an anonymous error report that helps us fix it.

Product analytics. Anonymous, aggregated events — which screens you visited, whether you completed a task — so we can tell whether the App is working for people. We do not record screen contents or your written reflections.

3. What we don’t collect

Footing’s “open journaling” tasks deep-link into your iOS Notes, Apple Journal, or another app of your choice. What you write there is yours alone. Footing stores nothing you write in those apps — we never see it, we never receive it.

• No microphone, camera, or photo-library access.
• No contact-list, location, or health-data access.
• No advertising tracking or third-party ad SDKs.
• No selling, renting, or sharing of personal data for marketing.

4. How we use information

We use the information above to deliver the App (showing today’s step, calculating your streak, syncing across devices), to keep it working (diagnosing crashes, measuring whether features help), to process subscriptions (via Apple), and to respond to you when you contact us.

5. Service providers

We use trusted third parties to run the App. Each is governed by their own privacy policy:

• Supabase — backend database and authentication.
• PostHog — anonymous product analytics.
• Sentry — anonymous crash reporting.
• RevenueCat — subscription management (entitlement state only; no payment data).
• Apple — App Store distribution, subscription billing, push notification delivery.

6. How long we keep data

We keep your journey data for as long as your account exists. If you delete your account, we delete the associated data within 30 days, except where retention is legally required.

7. Your choices

You can export your journey data from inside the App, delete your account (which deletes all journey data), and opt out of analytics and crash reporting at any time in Settings. Subscription cancellation is managed in your Apple ID settings; cancelling does not delete your data.

8. Children

Footing is not intended for children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

9. International transfers

10. Changes to this policy

We’ll update this page when our practices change. The “Last updated” date at the top tells you when. Material changes will also be surfaced in the App.
