Privacy Policy

Aperture Privacy Policy

Effective date: April 23, 2026

Aperture is a space for private reflection. What you believe, and what you discover about what you believe, stays on your device. This policy explains, plainly, what that means in practice.

What we collect

Aperture does not collect any data. The beliefs you enter, the paths you choose, and the reflections you complete are stored only in your device’s local storage using Apple’s on-device persistence framework. That data never leaves your device.

Specifically, we do not collect:

  • Your name, email address, or any account information
  • The content of your beliefs or reflections
  • Location data
  • Usage analytics or behavioral data
  • Crash reports or diagnostics beyond what Apple provides to all developers through App Store Connect, which is anonymized and aggregated

Local notifications

If you choose to enable reminders, Aperture uses Apple’s local notification system to deliver them. These notifications are scheduled entirely on your device. No notification content is transmitted to any server, and no external service is involved.

You can disable notifications at any time in your device’s Settings app.

Third parties

Aperture does not integrate with any third-party analytics, advertising, or data collection services. No data is shared with, sold to, or processed by any third party.

Data storage and deletion

All data is stored locally on your device. If you delete the app, all associated data is deleted along with it. There is no account to close, no server-side data to request removal of, and no backup stored outside of your own device’s standard backup, such as iCloud or iTunes, managed by you.

Children’s privacy

Aperture is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any information from children. Because no data is collected from any user, this is a structural guarantee rather than a policy intention.

Changes to this policy

If we ever update this policy — for example, if a future version of Aperture introduces any new data practices — we will update the effective date above and, where appropriate, notify users through the app. We will not materially reduce your privacy protections without notice.
