Gratitude

Privacy Policy

Brutechild, LLC · Effective Date: March 2, 2026

Overview

Gratitude is a daily journaling app for reflecting on what you’re thankful for. That’s something very special you’re letting us be a part of. To thank you we do not collect, track, or share your personal data (we can’t even see what you put in the app).

Data You Create

When you use Gratitude, you create journal entries that may include text and photos. The data is stored in your private iCloud account through Apple's CloudKit service and cached locally on your device for offline access. Only you can reach this data, through your iCloud account.

We never have access to your journal entries, photos, or anything you write.

HealthKit

With your permission, Gratitude logs a mindful session to Apple Health each time you complete the daily practice. The app only writes this data; it does not read any of your health information. You can decline this permission during setup and the app will work normally without it.

In-App Purchases

Gratitude offers an optional purchase to customize the breathing exercise. Transactions are handled entirely by Apple through StoreKit. We do not receive or store any payment information.

Other Network Communication

The only other network communication is with Apple's CloudKit service to sync your journal between your devices.

Data Stored on Your Device

• Journal entries and photos (cached for offline use).
• App settings (breathing exercise preferences, onboarding state).
• Purchase status.
• Draft entries (auto-saved while you write).

All local data is removed when you use the "Delete All Gratitudes" option in Settings.

Data Export and Deletion

You can export all your data (CSV, JSON, text, and photos) as a zip file from Settings at any time. You can also permanently delete all your data from Settings, which removes it from both your device and iCloud.

Children's Privacy

Gratitude does not knowingly collect any personal information. There are no accounts, no tracking, and no user-identifiable data beyond what is stored in your own private iCloud container.

Changes to This Policy

If we update this policy, we will revise the effective date above. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
