Gratitude
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).
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.
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.
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.
Gratitude uses Firebase Crashlytics by Google to collect crash reports and non-fatal error logs. This helps us find and fix stability problems. Crashlytics collects:
The data is sent to Google's servers and retained for ninety days. Crashlytics does not collect your journal entries, photos, or any personal content. No advertising identifiers or tracking data is collected. For details, see Google's Privacy Policy.
Gratitude uses Firebase Analytics by Google to collect anonymous usage data, such as when you complete an entry or reach a streak milestone. This helps us understand how the app is used and where to focus improvements. Analytics collects:
No journal text, no photo content, no personal information, and no advertising identifiers are ever included in analytics data. For details, see Google's Privacy Policy.
The only other network communication is with Apple's CloudKit service to sync your journal between your devices.
All local data is removed when you use the "Delete All Gratitudes" option in Settings.
| Data | Collected | Shared |
|---|---|---|
| Journal entries | Stored in your private iCloud only | No |
| Photos | Stored in your private iCloud only | No |
| Health data | Mindful sessions written to Apple Health | No |
| Crash & diagnostic data | Crash logs and device info sent to Google via Firebase Crashlytics | Not shared beyond this service |

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.
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.
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.
