Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 28, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what information Gift ("we," "us," "our") collects when you use the Gift mobile app, why we collect it, who it is shared with, and what control you have over it. Gift is a habit tracking app for iPhone.

Information you provide directly

You can create a Gift account with Sign in with Apple, Sign in with Google, or an email address and password. We receive your name and email address as provided by the sign in method you choose. If you use Apple's "Hide My Email" option, we only receive the private relay address Apple generates, never your real one. If you sign up with an email address, your password is handled by our sign in provider, Clerk, and we never see or store it ourselves.

We also store the information you create inside the app so that it can be shown back to you and kept in sync. This includes your habits and reminders, their schedules and timing, your completion history, your sleep and wake times, your Gift Score and daily summaries, and the programs you join.

Earlier versions of Gift let you write journal entries and a “saved habits” queue. Those features are no longer in the app. If any leftover rows still exist in our database from that period, they stay private to your account, are not used for advertising, and are removed when you delete your account.

Information stored only on your device

Habit reminders are scheduled as notifications directly on your iPhone, so Gift does not collect a push notification token. The Gift widget reads a small copy of your score and habits that is kept on your device so it can display them on your Home Screen.

Information collected automatically

Gift uses PostHog to count a small set of anonymous events, such as which setup screens are reached, when the subscription screen is shown, and when a habit is marked done. We use these counts to find the places where Gift is confusing. The events carry a random ID created on your device when you install Gift. They are not connected to your name, email address, or account, location lookup from your IP address is turned off, and they never include the names of your habits or anything you type. Gift does not include advertising software, does not run session replay, does not record keystrokes, and does not track you across other apps or websites. Like most online services, the companies that host our database and sign in system may keep standard technical logs, such as IP addresses and request times, to keep the service secure and working.

If you sign up with email, our sign in provider (Clerk) may send you a short verification code. Those messages are required to create your account. Gift does not send marketing or waitlist email.

Screen Time and app blocking

If you turn on Blocked Mode in a program to limit distracting apps, Gift asks for Apple's Screen Time permission (Family Controls). Apple's privacy design limits what any app can see through this permission. Gift only ever receives counts, such as how many apps or categories you selected, and never learns which specific apps you picked or how you otherwise use your phone. This limit is built into Apple's system and applies to every app that uses it.

Subscriptions and payment

Gift requires a subscription, currently $3.99 per month or $29.99 per year, and the yearly plan includes a 7 day free trial. Every payment is handled by Apple through your App Store account, so we never see or store your card details. We use RevenueCat to confirm your subscription status. RevenueCat receives your purchase information from Apple and a random identifier for your account so that Gift can unlock for you. If you subscribe before creating an account, your purchase is linked to your account once you sign in.

What we don't collect

Gift does not access your camera, microphone, contacts, photos, or location. Gift does not let you upload profile pictures or other photos. Gift does not show advertising, and we do not share or sell your information to advertisers or data brokers.

Who we share information with

We share information only with the companies that make Gift work, and only for that purpose:

• Clerk, which handles sign in and stores your account's name, email address, and login details.
• Supabase, which hosts the database where your habits and history are stored.
• Apple, for Sign in with Apple, App Store payments, and the Screen Time permission described above.
• Google, if you choose to sign in with a Google account.
• RevenueCat, to confirm and manage your subscription status.
• PostHog, to count the anonymous usage events described above.

We require these companies to handle your information with protections at least as protective as this policy, which is what Apple's App Store rules require of us. We may also disclose information if the law requires it. We do not sell your personal information to anyone, for any reason.

How your data is protected

Information travels between the app and our servers over encrypted connections. Our database is set up so that each account can only read and change its own data. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to keep your information safe and to collect only what Gift needs.

How long we keep your data

We keep your account and app data for as long as your account exists. You can permanently delete your account at any time from Settings inside the app, which removes your data from our database and deletes your sign in account. Deletion happens right away and cannot be undone. Deleting your account does not cancel an App Store subscription, so please cancel it in your iPhone's Settings as well if you no longer want to be billed.

Your choices and rights

You can view and edit most of your information directly in the app. The Privacy Policy, Terms of Use, and Support pages are also linked from Settings inside the app. If you would like a copy of your data, want something corrected, or have a privacy request the app doesn't cover, email us at the address below and we will respond as quickly as we can. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under local privacy laws, and we will honor those requests.

Children's privacy

Gift is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. By creating an account or using Gift, you confirm that you are 13 or older. That is not parental consent and is not a verified age check. If you are under 13, do not use Gift. If you believe a child has given us personal information, contact us at the address below and we will delete it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above. Continuing to use Gift after a change means you accept the updated policy.
