Thankful is designed with a privacy-first, local-only architecture. We minimize data collection to the absolute essentials.

1.1 Data Stored Locally on Your Device

• Gratitude journal entries (text, images, stickers, formatting)
• App settings (notification time, theme, language, lock level)
• Streak and achievement progress
• Mood selections

This data is stored exclusively on your device using local storage (AsyncStorage). We do not have access to this data, and it is never uploaded to our servers.

1.2 Data Processed by Third-Party Services

• AI Features (Premium): When you use AI mentoring, coaching, or personalized verse features, your recent gratitude entry text is sent to Anthropic's Claude API for processing. This data is used solely to generate personalized responses and is not stored by Anthropic beyond the processing session. See Anthropic's Privacy Policy.
• In-App Purchases: Subscription payments are processed through Apple App Store or Google Play Store. We do not collect or store payment information.
• Push Notifications: If enabled, notification tokens are managed by Apple Push Notification Service (APNs) or Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM). We do not store these tokens on any server.

1.3 Data We Do NOT Collect

• No account registration or login required
• No email addresses, names, or personal identifiers
• No location data
• No analytics or tracking data
• No cross-app tracking. (Our website uses advertising-measurement cookies — see Section 9.)

• Local data is used solely to provide app functionality (displaying entries, tracking streaks, rendering your garden)
• AI-processed data is used only to generate personalized mentoring responses within the same session
• We never sell, rent, or share your data with third parties for marketing purposes

• All local data persists on your device until you choose to delete it
• You can delete all data at any time via Settings > Reset All Data within the App
• Uninstalling the App permanently removes all locally stored data
• AI-processed data is not retained after the processing session ends

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), you have the following rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):

• Right of Access: You can view all your data directly within the App at any time
• Right to Rectification: You can edit any entry within the App
• Right to Erasure: You can delete individual entries or all data via Settings
• Right to Data Portability: You can export your data via the App's backup feature
• Right to Restrict Processing: You can disable AI features at any time by not using Premium features
• Right to Object: Since we do not process data for marketing or profiling, this right is inherently satisfied

Legal Basis for Processing: When AI features are used, processing is based on your explicit consent (opt-in by using the feature). You may withdraw consent at any time by ceasing to use AI features.

Data Protection Officer: For GDPR-related inquiries, contact us at support@thankfuldaily.app.

If you are a California resident, you have the following rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA):

• Right to Know: We collect only local device data and temporarily process text for AI features as described above
• Right to Delete: You can delete all data through the App's settings
• Right to Non-Discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights
• No Sale of Personal Information: We do not sell your personal information to any third party

Thankful is intended for users aged 13 and above. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take steps to delete such information.

When you use AI features, your gratitude entry text may be processed by Anthropic's servers, which may be located outside your country of residence. Anthropic maintains appropriate safeguards for international data transfers in accordance with applicable law.

We implement appropriate security measures to protect your information:

• All data is stored locally on your device, protected by your device's built-in security
• AI API communications use HTTPS encryption
• No server-side databases that could be breached
• Optional app lock feature for additional privacy

On our website (thankfuldaily.app), we use the Meta Pixel and Meta's Conversions API to measure the performance of our advertising. When you visit the website or tap a download button, we may collect and store: advertising click identifiers (such as the _fbc and _fbp cookies, including the fbclid parameter), your IP address, browser information (user agent), and which download button was used.

If you later install the App and start a trial or subscription, we may share that event — together with these identifiers — with Meta Platforms, Inc. so that ad performance can be measured and our advertising can be optimized. This data does not include your name, email address, or the contents of your journal. Meta processes this data in accordance with its own Data Policy.

You can limit this tracking through your browser settings (blocking cookies) or through your Meta ad preferences.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date and communicated through in-app notifications for significant changes.
