Privacy Policy
Last updated: January 2026
The short version: Steadfast doesn't collect, store, or sell your personal data. Everything stays on your device. We built it this way on purpose.
Our Philosophy
Most apps say they care about your privacy, then bury the truth in pages of legal jargon. We're going to be direct: Steadfast was designed from the ground up to not collect your data. We can't sell what we don't have.
Your mental health journey is personal. It should stay that way.
What We Don't Collect
Steadfast does not collect:
- Your name, email, or any account information (we don't have accounts)
- Your journal entries or mood logs
- Your conversations with the AI companion
- Your health data from Apple Health
- Your location
- Device identifiers or advertising IDs
- Usage analytics or behavioral data
- Anything else
Where Your Data Lives
All of your data - journal entries, mood logs, health insights, AI conversations - is stored locally on your device. It never leaves your phone. We have no servers collecting your information, no databases storing your thoughts, no way to access what you've written or said.
If you delete the app, your data is deleted with it. Simple as that.
AI Processing
The AI companion in Steadfast uses on-device processing. Your conversations are not sent to external servers for analysis. The AI model runs locally on your device, which means your words stay with you.
Apple Health Integration
If you choose to connect Steadfast with Apple Health, we read health data (like sleep, steps, and heart rate) directly from HealthKit on your device. This data is used to provide insights within the app and is never transmitted anywhere. The connection is entirely optional.
Third-Party Services
Steadfast does not integrate with any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services. We don't use Google Analytics, Facebook SDK, or any similar tools. There are no hidden trackers in this app.
Institutional Access
For organizations that license Steadfast for their teams: the privacy model remains the same. We do not provide employers, departments, or institutions with access to individual user data. The app works the same way whether you're using it personally or through your organization.
Changes to This Policy
If we ever change this privacy policy, we'll update the "Last updated" date at the top. But our core commitment won't change: we don't want your data, and we've built the app so we can't get it even if we wanted to.
