Resolution Companion

Privacy Policy

How your information is handled.

Last Updated: October 19, 2026

Overview

Resolution Companion is designed with your privacy as a top priority. We believe your personal growth journey is deeply personal, and we've built our app to keep it that way.

The Short Version

Your personal growth data stays on your device. We don't sell your data, track you across apps, or use third-party analytics or ad trackers. On our own servers we store only the minimum: an anonymous device identifier, your subscription status, and privacy-respecting usage counts (how often features are used, by day — never what you write or do). AI conversations and explicitly requested Plan Tune-Ups are processed by OpenAI (see details below).

Information We Don't Collect

No Account Required: Use the app without creating an account or providing personal information.
No Third-Party Analytics or Ad Tracking: We do not use third-party analytics SDKs, advertising trackers, or cross-app tracking of any kind. The only usage data we keep is our own privacy-respecting, aggregate feature counts, described below.
No Data Selling: We never sell or rent your information to third parties.

Information We Do Store

To make premium subscriptions work, we store a small amount of data on our servers:

Anonymous Device Identifier: A randomly generated identifier created on your device. It is not your advertising ID and is not linked to your name, email, or identity.
Subscription Status: Your subscription plan, status, and renewal date, so your purchase can be verified and restored after a reinstall.
Aggregate Usage Counts: To understand which features are useful and where the app can be improved, we keep per-day counts of anonymous events (for example, "a plan was created," "the coach was opened," or the app caught an error), tied only to the same anonymous device identifier above. We never record what you write, your goals, your messages, or any content — only how many times a feature was used on a given day. Helpful and Not helpful choices are included only as these per-day counts; the response text is not included.
Aggregate AI Operations: We total AI request and token counts by day, feature, and model so we can monitor cost. These totals contain no device identifier, prompt, response, or other user content.
Feedback Submissions: If you contact us through the website feedback form, we store the name, email address, and message you provide so we can respond.
AI Safety Reports: If you use the in-app Report action on an AI response, we store that response, an anonymous device identifier, and the app surface where it appeared so we can review safety issues and improve our safeguards.

You can delete the device identifier and subscription records at any time from the app via Profile > Delete My Account & Data, or by contacting us at the email address below.

How Long We Keep It

Device Identifier & Subscription Records: Retained while your subscription records are needed to verify or restore purchases. When you use Delete My Account & Data in the app, these records (including monthly AI usage counters and the aggregate usage counts) are permanently deleted from our servers immediately. The app also removes local product data and, on supported Apple devices, its private iCloud backup.
Feedback Submissions: Retained only as long as needed to respond to and follow up on your message. You can request deletion of your feedback at any time by emailing us at the address below, and we will remove it promptly.

What Stays on Your Device

All of your personal data is stored locally on your device using secure local storage:

Your plan — the identity you're working toward and your goals
All milestones and daily actions you create
Your daily logs, optional notes, and progress history
Your optional Daily Context factors and context note text
Your Story Archive, Evidence Timeline, and saved Plan Tune-Up adjustment history
Saved contextual Coach sessions and your response-feedback choices
Momentum chains and alignment metrics
App settings and preferences

This data stays on your device unless you explicitly use an AI feature, explicitly report an AI response, turn on Private iCloud Backup on a supported Apple device, or choose to share a recap or witness celebration through the system share sheet.

Private iCloud Backup

If you opt in, the app copies your local product data to your own private Apple iCloud key-value store. Resolution Companion does not receive or read that backup. Subscription information, the anonymous device identifier, and aggregate telemetry are excluded. You can turn backup off, create a new backup, or explicitly confirm a restore from Profile at any time.

Recap and witness sharing is never automatic. The app prepares an image or message locally, and you decide whether to share it, which app receives it, and who receives it. Resolution Companion has no social feed, shared account, or contact list.

Apple Health

On supported Apple devices, you can optionally connect a habit to Apple Health through HealthKit. With your permission, the app reads steps, workouts, and mindful sessions to check whether an opted-in habit can be completed that day. It does not write to Apple Health.

Raw health records are read on your device and are not sent to Resolution Companion's servers or AI Coach. The resulting habit completion becomes part of your normal progress history. An automatic completion may also increment an anonymous feature-usage count, without the underlying health record.

Choose Off in a habit's Apple Health settings to stop its automatic completion. You can change read permissions in the Health app under your profile, Apps, then Resolution Companion. Manual habit tracking remains available without Health access.

AI Features & OpenAI

Our AI coaching, onboarding, and Plan Tune-Up features are powered by OpenAI's GPT models (currently GPT-5 mini), a third-party AI service. When you use conversational AI features, your conversation messages are sent to OpenAI for processing.

Evidence cards and Journey discoveries are generated on your device and can be viewed without contacting an AI service. When you explicitly request current ambient plan guidance, the app sends up to five opaque action slots containing only editable plan fields and bounded aggregate counts from the trailing 28 days. Those counts summarize scheduled, completed, and kickstart action-days plus how often optional context factors were marked as helping or hindering. Earlier app versions send the same bounded evidence for the one action you selected and may include that action's title.

Plan Tune-Up Privacy Boundary

Daily log notes, Daily Context note text, local record identifiers, persona name and description, and individual event dates are never included in a Plan Tune-Up request. Current ambient plan guidance also excludes action titles. The app asks for your AI consent first, shows every proposed schedule, anchor, or kickstart change before applying it, and leaves your plan unchanged if you cancel or the request fails. Resolution Companion does not store the request or proposal on its servers.

Choosing Helpful or Not helpful records only an aggregate usage count. AI response text is sent to Resolution Companion only when you separately choose Report and confirm the existing safety-report flow.

                  Not Used for Training: OpenAI does not use
                  API data to train or improve their models.
                
                  Temporary Retention: OpenAI retains API data

                  We Don't Store It: Resolution Companion does
                  not store your AI conversations on our servers.

Because AI conversations are processed on OpenAI's servers in the United States, we recommend not sharing sensitive personal details (such as health, financial, or legal information) in your coaching conversations.

For more details, see OpenAI's API Data Usage Policy.

Subscription & Payments

If you choose a subscription or, where available, a one-time Lifetime Premium purchase:

Payments are processed securely by the store where you obtained the app: the Apple App Store or Google Play.

Encrypted data transmission (HTTPS/TLS)
