Privacy Policy

Last updated: 20 March 2026

Stillpoint is built with privacy at its core. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Summary

Your journal entries stay on your device. We don't have user accounts. We don't run ads. We don't sell or share your personal data.

Data stored on your device

The following data is created and stored locally on your iPhone, protected by iOS Data Protection encryption:

• Gratitude and achievement entries
• AI-generated affirmations
• Emotion check-in responses
• Onboarding preferences (name, tone, reflection time, chosen creature)
• Session history and streak data
• Meditation session records

This data is not uploaded to any server and is not accessible to us. You can export or delete all your data at any time from the app's Settings.

Data sent to our servers

If you have premium access, your gratitude entries and onboarding context are sent to a Firebase Cloud Function proxy, which forwards the request to Anthropic's Claude API to generate personalised AI affirmations. This data is:

• Transmitted over HTTPS encryption
• Processed in real time by Anthropic's Claude API to generate your affirmation
• Not stored on our servers or by Anthropic after the affirmation is generated
• Not used to train AI models
• Not shared with any third party beyond Anthropic for the purpose of generating your affirmation

Our Firebase Cloud Function proxy does not log or store any user data. It forwards the request to Anthropic's API and returns the response directly to the app.

Free users receive pre-written affirmations and no data is sent to our servers.

Screen Time API

Stillpoint uses Apple's Screen Time API (FamilyControls framework) with individual authorisation. This means:

• You choose to opt in during onboarding or in Settings
• The app can temporarily shield other apps at your chosen daily time
• No information about your app usage, screen time, or browsing is collected or transmitted
• You can disable the screen lock at any time in Settings or via the emergency override
• You can revoke authorisation entirely via iOS Settings > Screen Time

Analytics

Stillpoint does not currently collect any analytics data. If we add analytics in the future, we will use a privacy-first provider that does not collect personal data, does not use cookies, and does not track individual users. This policy will be updated to reflect any changes.

Community Access

Stillpoint offers a "Community Access" option for users who select "I can't pay right now" during onboarding or in Settings. This grants 60 days of free premium access. The access expiry date is stored locally on your device in UserDefaults and is not sent to any server.

Subscriptions

Stillpoint offers three monthly subscription tiers, all handled entirely by Apple through StoreKit and the App Store:

• Support — $12.99/month
• Standard — $7.99/month
• Community — $3.99/month

All three tiers provide identical premium features. The different price points exist so you can choose what feels right for you. We do not collect or store your payment information. Subscription management and billing are governed by Apple's terms.

Children's privacy

Stillpoint is designed to be suitable for all ages. The app stores data locally on the user's device and does not require an account or collect personal information beyond what the user enters into their own journal. Parents and guardians can review or delete all data at any time using the Export and Delete features in Settings.

Data export and deletion

You can export all your data as a JSON file or permanently delete all data from within the app's Settings screen. Since data is stored locally, deleting the app also removes all data.

Your rights under GDPR

If you are located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you have the right to access, correct, delete, or export your personal data. Since your data is stored locally on your device, you can exercise these rights directly using the Export and Delete features in the app's Settings.

If you have any questions or wish to exercise your rights, contact us at support@stillpoint.tools. We will respond within 30 days.

Data controller

The data controller for Stillpoint is Will Perkins, operating as a sole trader based in England. For data protection enquiries, contact support@stillpoint.tools.

Third-party data processors

When you use premium AI affirmations, your session data is processed by:

• Google Cloud (Firebase Cloud Functions) — routes requests between the app and the AI provider. Does not log or store user data.
• Anthropic — provides the Claude AI model used to generate affirmations. Anthropic does not store API inputs or outputs by default and does not use them for model training. See Anthropic's privacy policy.

No other third parties receive your personal data.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
