The Settled app collects nothing. No account, no analytics, no advertising, no tracking. Everything the app knows about you lives on your phone — and, if you have your phone's own backup switched on, in that backup. The backup belongs to your device account, is handled entirely by your phone's operating system, and we never see it.
Settled has no camera feature and never uses your camera or microphone. Proof of an activity is one line of text you write yourself, stored only on your device.
If you choose to write to us from inside the app — a problem report, or the note we invite when you cancel a subscription — then the words you typed, plus the app version and platform, are delivered to our inbox. That is the entire payload: no name, no account, no identifiers, nothing about your usage. It is sent only when you tap Send, and it is used only to make the app better. We keep these messages only as long as they are useful, and delete any of them on request.
With your permission, this website uses Google Analytics to measure page views and clicks to the App Store or Google Play. Analytics cookies help distinguish visits and returning browsers; Google receives technical information such as browser/device details and your IP address when a request is made. We send only approved campaign labels and the page path, not arbitrary URL parameters, form text or your email address. Advertising signals and personalisation are disabled. No Google Analytics tag loads before you choose Allow analytics. You can decline and still use every download link, or withdraw through Analytics preferences at the bottom of the page. Your preference is stored in your browser for up to six months. These measurements concern the website, not activity inside Settled. Visits and store-link clicks do not prove an app installation. If you submit a waitlist email, the separate waitlist terms below apply.
Separately, and without asking for consent, this site keeps a simple count of page loads and of clicks on its App Store and Google Play buttons by day, channel, campaign, store and button position. This counter sets no cookies and stores no IP address, device details or any identifier; it only adds one to a number. Browsers that send a Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signal are left out of the count. Counts may include repeat clicks or bots and are not unique-user measurements.
If you enter your email address on our website, we store that address for one reason: to tell you when Settled is released, and occasionally about early supporter places. We do not sell it, we do not share it, and we do not add you to anything you did not ask for. The form says plainly, next to the button, what submitting it means — entering your address is the choice, and it is the only thing we take it to mean.
The address is held on our behalf by an email delivery provider outside our own systems; we will name them on request. Every email we send carries an unsubscribe link that removes you immediately, and you can ask us to delete your address at any time by writing to support@thesettledapp.com — we will do it on the spot.
This is entirely separate from the app. The app has no account, no servers and collects nothing; joining the waitlist has no connection to anything you later do inside Settled.
Under UK data protection law you can ask what personal data we hold about you and ask for it to be corrected or erased. Because the app collects nothing, the honest answer will almost always be "only whatever you have emailed us, or the address you gave the waitlist — and we'll delete it on the spot." Write to support@thesettledapp.com. If you're unhappy with how we handle your data, you can complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).
Settled offers an optional accessibility service whose only job is to notice, the moment it happens, which app has come to the front of your screen — so that a watched app can be closed instantly once your allowance is spent, without a battery-draining background process.
The accessibility service is not used to collect any data whatsoever.
The supporter pass (one-time) and the £4.99 monthly plan (auto-renewing) are sold through Google Play or the Apple App Store. The store processes the payment and holds the record of your purchase or subscription; Settled only stores a yes/no ownership flag on your device and asks the store to confirm it. We never see your payment details.
Uninstall the app. That erases everything, immediately and permanently — because nothing was ever stored anywhere else.
One exception, in your own hands: if you use Android's Google backup, a single tiny file holding your free-trial start date is included in your device backup, so a reinstall doesn't restart the trial. Only your Google account can restore it; we can never read it. Your goals, history and notes are excluded from backup entirely.
Settled is a general-audience productivity app and is not directed at children under 13.
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted at this address with a new date.
