Privacy Policy

The following is created and stored locally on your iPhone, and — if you enable iCloud Drive — synced through your own private iCloud account: daily journal entries (medication, doses, timing, scores, notes, side effects, tags); health metrics read from Apple Health; and your settings.

This data is not transmitted to the developer's servers during normal use. We never receive, store, or access it.

With your explicit permission, the app reads — read-only — the following from Apple Health: sleep, heart rate variability (HRV), heart rate, activity, mindfulness sessions, hydration, time in daylight, and (optionally) menstrual cycle data.

The app does not write any data back to Apple Health. HealthKit data is used only on your device, except when summarized into an AI briefing you explicitly request (§3), and is never used for advertising or sold.

When you tap “Generate summary,” the app compiles a text prompt from your recent entries and health metrics and sends it over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection to our processing service at api.adhdjournal.app, which forwards it to Anthropic (provider of the Claude AI model) to generate your briefing.

The prompt is processed transiently and is not retained on our server after the request completes. Anthropic does not train its models on data submitted through its API. No name, email, or account is attached — only an anonymous device identifier (§4). If you never use the briefing feature, none of your journal or health content ever leaves your device.

To track your AI credit balance without an account, the app generates a random identifier (UUID) stored in your device Keychain. It is not linked to your name, email, or Apple ID, cannot identify you individually, and exists only to associate credits and purchases with your device.

ADHD Journal is a paid app and offers optional in-app purchases of AI credits. All payments are processed by Apple; we never see your payment information. To grant purchased credits, our server verifies the Apple-signed transaction and stores a minimal record (transaction ID, product, credits granted, environment) for fraud prevention, tied only to the anonymous device identifier.

• No ads.
• No third-party analytics, tracking SDKs, or advertising identifiers.
• No selling, renting, or sharing of your data with data brokers or advertisers.
• No account, email, or sign-in required.
• No cross-app or cross-site tracking.

Journal and health data live on your device (and your iCloud, if enabled); deleting the app removes the local copy. AI briefing prompts are not retained after processing. Purchase records are kept to honor purchases and prevent fraud — to request deletion of records tied to your device identifier, email support@adhdjournal.app.

ADHD Journal is not directed to children under 13 and does not knowingly collect their data.

ADHD Journal is a personal wellness and journaling tool. It is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. AI briefings summarize your own entries to help you prepare for conversations with your healthcare provider. Always consult a qualified professional.

We may update this policy as the app evolves; material changes will carry a new effective date. Questions or requests: support@adhdjournal.app.
