Flow State collects only what the app needs to work. Here is an exact breakdown:
We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, location, contacts, or any biometric data.
Flow State uses Anthropic's Claude — a third-party AI service — to power two features: the AI Coach, and AI Insights in the Analytics tab.
AI Coach. When you send a message to the Coach, the following data is transmitted securely to Anthropic's API:
AI Insights. When you open the Insights section of the Analytics tab, your habit names, completion rates, current streaks, and day-of-week activity patterns are automatically sent to Anthropic's API to generate a personalized summary. This happens when the tab is opened, without requiring you to type a message.
We do not transmit your Apple ID, name, email, payment information, or any data not listed above.
Retention. We do not store your chat messages or Insights data on our servers. Once a request completes, it is not retained by us. Anthropic may retain data for a limited period in accordance with their own privacy policy — see anthropic.com/legal/privacy.
Both of these features are available to Gold subscribers only. If you are on the Free tier, no data is ever sent to Anthropic.
We use the data we collect only for the following purposes:
We do not use your data for advertising. We do not sell your data to any third party.
On-device storage. Your habits, streaks, and completion records are stored locally on your iPhone or iPad using iOS secure storage (AsyncStorage backed by the iOS Keychain where applicable).
iCloud backup. If you have iCloud backup enabled, your habit data is included in your device backup and encrypted by Apple. Flow State itself does not operate a cloud sync service.
AI sessions. Chat messages are sent over an encrypted HTTPS connection to Anthropic's API. They are not written to any database on our end.
Data loss. Because your data lives on your device, uninstalling the app or resetting your phone will permanently delete your habit history. We recommend enabling iCloud backup to protect against this.
You have the following rights over your data. Because most data lives on your device, many of these you can exercise directly within the app or via your iOS settings — no request to us needed.
To exercise any right that requires our involvement, email support@flowstateapp.io. We will respond within 30 days.
Flow State Gold subscriptions are purchased and managed entirely through Apple's App Store. We never see your credit card number, bank details, or any payment information.
Apple provides us with a non-identifiable token to confirm your subscription status. This token does not contain your name or email address. Subscription management is handled through your Apple ID account settings.
RevenueCat, our subscription management library, processes the Apple receipt on our behalf. RevenueCat's privacy policy is available at revenuecat.com/privacy.
We collect anonymous, aggregated usage events — for example, how often the AI Coach is opened or which habit completion screen is used most. These events cannot be linked to you as an individual.
We do not use third-party ad networks or analytics services that track you across other apps or websites. You can opt out of all analytics collection in your iOS Settings.
Flow State integrates with the following third-party services, each governed by its own privacy policy:
We do not integrate with any advertising networks, social media trackers, or data brokers.
Flow State is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has used the App and shared data, please contact us at support@flowstateapp.io and we will take prompt action to delete that data.
Questions about this policy, data requests, or deletion requests — we're here.
