Privacy Policy

Last updated: December 26, 2024

Your Recovery Data is Sacred

We understand that using a recovery app means trusting us with deeply personal information. We treat your data with the utmost respect and confidentiality. Your journey is yours alone to share.

Anonymity & Recovery Traditions

Anonymity is the spiritual foundation of all recovery programs. As stated in Alcoholics Anonymous Tradition Eleven:

"Our public relations policy is based on attraction rather than promotion; we need always maintain personal anonymity at the level of press, radio, and films."

The AA Big Book reminds us that "Anonymity is the spiritual foundation of all our traditions, ever reminding us to place principles before personalities."

We honor these traditions by building anonymity into every aspect of this platform. You control your identity. You decide what to share. Your recovery is yours.

Anonymous Participation

  • ✓Display names can be pseudonymous - Use any name you're comfortable with
  • ✓Sobriety date is private by default - Only shared if you choose
  • ✓Forum posts can be anonymous - Participate in community without revealing identity
  • ✓No social media integration - We never ask to connect external accounts

Our Business Model: Essential Tools Stay Free

The essential tools of recovery will always remain free. No paywalls on core features. We will never sell your personal recovery data.

Always Free:

  • • Meeting finder and location services
  • • Crisis resources and emergency contacts
  • • Daily journaling and check-ins
  • • Safety plans and HALT tracking
  • • Community forums and messaging

Future Premium Features (Optional Subscriptions):

  • • Advanced AI-powered recovery planning
  • • Bulk/institutional licenses for treatment centers
  • • Premium server capacity for high-volume users
  • • Extended data retention and advanced analytics

If we need revenue to sustain operations, it will come from optional premium features - never from monetizing your personal recovery data or the core tools that save lives.

The Short Version

You Control Your Visibility

Private by Default

Journals, safety plans, and recovery plans are encrypted and only visible to you. Not even our admins can read them.

Delete Anytime

You can delete all your data at any time. We make it easy, not buried in settings.

We Never Sell Data

Your data is never sold, shared with advertisers, or used for anything other than providing this service.

  • We do not share your identity with Anthropic - requests are anonymized
