Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 14, 2026

TL;DR We do not collect, store, transmit, sell, or share any personal data. The app has no user accounts, no servers, no analytics, and no tracking. Every piece of data the app generates lives only on your device. If you delete the app, the data goes with it.

This is the privacy policy for Brashen (“the app”), an iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and watchOS app published by the Brashen team (“we”, “us”). Brashen is intentionally designed to collect as little data about you as possible.

Data we do not collect

We want to be specific. Brashen does not collect, transmit, or store on any server:

Your name, email address, or any contact info
Your location, IP address, or device identifiers
Your quest history, mood ratings, journal entries, or completion records
Your level, XP, achievements, streak, or stats
Crash reports, analytics events, or usage telemetry
Advertising identifiers
Photographs, contacts, or microphone data

Data stored on your device

The app stores the following information locally on your device only, using Apple’s SwiftData framework:

Your profile: level, XP, stat values, streak, display title
Your completed quests: which quest, when, outcome, mood, optional journal notes
Your custom quests: quests you’ve authored yourself
Your settings: notification time, notification toggle, location-reminder settings
Your in-app purchase entitlements: which packs you’ve unlocked

This data never leaves your device. It is not backed up to our servers because we do not operate any servers.

Device storage

Brashen is local-first. Your profile and quest history are stored on your device using Apple’s local app storage frameworks. We do not run a Brashen server, and we do not receive a copy of your quest history.

Notifications

If you grant notification permission, Brashen schedules local notifications on your device using Apple’s UserNotifications framework. These are generated and delivered locally. They do not go through any push notification server. You can disable notifications at any time from the app’s Settings screen or from iOS Settings.

Location reminders

If you create a location-based reminder for a quest, Brashen stores the reminder geofence locally on your device and monitors it using Apple’s Core Location framework. Your location is never transmitted to us. When you enter the reminder region, iOS fires a local notification on your device and Brashen clears the geofence. You can disable location access any time in iOS Settings → Privacy → Location Services → Brashen.

In-app purchases

One-time pack and bundle purchases are handled entirely by Apple’s StoreKit 2 framework. Brashen never sees your payment information, card number, or App Store account details. The only thing the app stores locally is which products you’ve unlocked, so it can show you the right content.

Game Center leaderboards

If you opt in to Game Center leaderboards, the app submits anonymous scores (your longest streak, lifetime XP, and weekly brashen count) to Apple’s Game Center service via GameKit. These scores are tied to your Game Center identity (which is managed by Apple, not by us) and are governed by Apple’s privacy policy. You can opt out at any time by disabling Game Center in iOS Settings. Brashen does not read any personal data from Game Center.

Children

Brashen is rated 17+ in the App Store and is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone, including children, because we do not collect data at all.

Changes to this policy

If this policy ever changes, we will update the “Last updated” date above and announce material changes in an app update’s release notes. Because we collect no data, any change that affected your privacy would be a big deal, and we would treat it that way.
