Privacy Policy
Last updated: 5 June 2026
Keel Habit ("Keel", "we") is built privacy-first. Your habit data lives on your device. We designed Keel so the most personal parts of your recovery never leave your phone unless you explicitly choose otherwise. This policy explains exactly what stays local, the few things that are sent, and what we never do.
What stays on your device
Your habits, streaks, money and units saved, craving logs, check-ins, XP/levels, achievements, and your recorded "Anchor" (a photo, voice note or video reason) are stored only on your device using on-device storage. There is no account to create, and we cannot see this data.
The AI plan & coach (Mira)
When you ask Mira for a plan or chat with her, your questionnaire answers and the habit you're quitting are sent to our AI provider (Cloudflare Workers AI) to generate a response, then returned to your device. We do not send your recorded Anchor, your contacts, or your location. These messages are used only to produce your reply.
Community leaderboard (opt-in)
If — and only if — you choose to join a leaderboard, Keel sends a display handle you pick and the streak length for that habit so we can rank it. No email, no contacts, no location, no other data. You can leave anytime in Settings, which removes your entry.
Purchases
Subscriptions and the lifetime purchase are handled entirely by Apple and Google. We never see your card details. Purchase and receipt data is processed by Apple/Google (and our billing processor, RevenueCat) under their own privacy policies, solely to unlock and restore your premium access.
Permissions
Microphone, photos and camera are requested only if you choose to record your Anchor. Notifications are used for your craving-time reminder and nightly check-in. Apple Health / Health Connect data, if you connect it, is read on-device only to show your recovery — it is never uploaded.
What we don't do
No ads. No third-party trackers. No analytics SDKs. We do not sell or share your personal data with anyone. There's no behavioural profiling and no data brokers.
Children
Keel is not directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect data from them.
Your rights & data deletion
Because your data is local, you control it: export it as CSV or wipe everything from Settings → Reset, and uninstalling the app removes all local data. To remove a leaderboard entry, leave the leaderboard in Settings. For anything else, email us.
