Upnile

Privacy Policy

Effective date: July 17, 2026 · Last updated: October 21, 2026

Upnile is built around a simple idea: your quests, streaks, and small wins stay with you. This Privacy Policy explains what information the Upnile app (“App”) handles, how it is used, and the choices you have. It should be read together with our Terms of Use.

1. Who we are

This Policy is provided by Upnile, the operator of the Upnile iOS application and related pages hosted at https://upnile.pages.dev/Upnileprivacy.html and https://upnile.pages.dev/Upnile-userterms.html.

Privacy questions: Jamaall.U002@gmx.ph

2. Our privacy principles

• Local-first. Core product data (quests, streaks, voice notes, credits) is stored on your device.
• No Upnile account. You can use the App without signing up with an email or password managed by us.
• Optional permissions. Camera, photos, and microphone permissions are optional. You can decline them and still use core quest and focus features.
• No sale of personal data. We do not sell your personal information.

3. Information we handle

Depending on how you use the App, the following categories of information may be processed. In the current product design, items marked “On device” are stored locally and are not uploaded by Upnile to our servers.

Account data we do not request

The current App does not request Upnile-managed account credentials, precise location, contacts, HealthKit clinical records, or advertising identifiers for tracking.

• Email address, phone number, or password accounts created with Upnile
• Precise location, contacts, or HealthKit clinical records
• Your voice recordings are stored on-device in the current App and are not uploaded by Upnile to our servers; recording still uses the microphone when you choose that feature

4. How we use information

On-device information is used to provide and personalize the App experience, including to:

• show your quests, focus timers, stats, streak garden, and energy history;
• display your name and avatar on home and settings screens;
• keep your credit balance and unlock related in-app usage;
• record optional voice notes locally when you choose to use the microphone;
• remember that you have entered the App so you are not repeatedly shown the entry screen;
• present Terms and Privacy pages you choose to open.

Companion “hype friend” messages are selected from an on-device library of supportive text. They are not generated by sending your private quest content to an external AI service in the current App.

5. Legal bases (where applicable)

If you are in a region that requires a legal basis for processing (such as the EEA/UK), we rely on:

• Contract / service delivery — to provide the features you request;
• Legitimate interests — to maintain security, improve reliability, and communicate policy updates, balanced against your rights;
• Consent — where required for optional permissions (camera, photos, microphone) or other optional processing we clearly describe;
• Legal obligation — when we must comply with applicable law.

6. Sharing of information

We do not sell personal information. We may share information only as follows:

• Apple. Purchases are processed by Apple. Apple may receive transaction and device information under Apple’s privacy policy and App Store terms.
• Service providers. Hosting or support vendors for websites or other services process data only on our instructions and under appropriate safeguards.
• Legal requirements. We may disclose information if required by law, regulation, legal process, or to protect rights, safety, and integrity.
• Business transfers. In a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, information related to the App may transfer as part of that transaction, subject to this Policy or a successor notice.

7. Permissions explained

• Camera — used so you can take a profile photo or pin a garden snapshot of your desk plant. Photos stay on your device.
• Photo Library — used so you can choose an existing photo as your profile picture or pin a garden snapshot. We do not upload your library.
• Microphone — the App implements audio recording. If you grant microphone access, you can record a quest voice note, a pep talk, or a spoken intention before a focus sprint. Recordings are stored on your device in the current App and are not required for basic quest and focus features.

You can deny or later change these permissions in iOS Settings. Denying them does not block basic quest and focus features.

8. Retention and deletion

Local data remains on your device until you delete it within the App (where available), clear app data, reset the device, or uninstall the App. Logging out returns you to the entry screen and does not by itself erase quests or progress.

Because most data is local-only, Upnile generally cannot remotely retrieve or restore your quests after you erase them from the device. Keep device backups if you want a recovery option.

9. Security

We design the App to keep core content on-device and to request only the permissions needed for optional personalization. No method of electronic storage is perfectly secure. You are responsible for protecting physical access to your device and using device passcodes, Face ID/Touch ID, and OS updates.

10. Children

The App is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided information to us in a way that requires parental consent, contact us and we will take appropriate steps.

11. International users

The App may be used in different countries. If we introduce online features that transfer data internationally, we will use appropriate safeguards required by applicable law and update this Policy accordingly.

12. Your choices and rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict certain processing of personal data, or to object to certain processing and to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

For local-only data, you can typically:

• edit your display name and profile photo in Settings;
• delete individual quests in the App;
• revoke camera, photo, or microphone permissions in iOS Settings;
• uninstall the App to remove App-stored local data from that device.

To exercise privacy rights that require our assistance, email Jamaall.U002@gmx.ph. We may need to verify your request. If data exists only on your device and not on our systems, we will explain what we can and cannot do remotely.

13. Tracking and analytics

The current App does not integrate third-party attribution or analytics SDKs, does not request App Tracking Transparency permission, and does not access IDFA for tracking. Standard “Do Not Track” browser signals do not apply to native on-device storage in the same way they apply to websites.

14. Links and future online features

Opening legal pages may load content from https://upnile.pages.dev/Upnileprivacy.html and https://upnile.pages.dev/Upnile-userterms.html in Safari. If we add accounts, cloud sync, analytics, or other online features later, we will update this Privacy Policy before (or when) those features collect additional personal data, and we will request any required consents.

15. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy to reflect product, legal, or operational changes. We will revise the “Last updated” date above. Material changes may be highlighted in the App or on this page. Continued use after an update means you acknowledge the revised Policy, except where additional consent is required by law.
