Freeman is about the worst hour of your week. A policy for an app like that should be readable in five minutes, so this one is written in plain English rather than legal boilerplate.
The short version: there is no account, there is no server holding your history, and nothing you type into Freeman ever leaves your phone. Not some of it. None of it. Freeman makes exactly one kind of network request, to check whether your subscription is active, and it carries nothing you have written.
Freeman does not ask you to sign up, sign in, or give an email address. We do not know who you are. There is no username, no password, and no profile on any server. If you uninstall the app, there is nothing left anywhere for us to look at, because there never was.
Everything you create in Freeman is written to your device's own storage. It is not backed up to us, not synced, and not readable by us.
Photos you add are copied into Freeman's own storage on the device. The app requests photo library access only at the moment you choose a picture, and it never uploads what it reads.
Earlier versions of Freeman included an AI you could talk to when nobody was awake. It was removed on purpose. An app that talks a man down at three in the morning gets him through the worst hour without ever finding out that his brother would have picked up.
That decision is why this policy is short. With no AI there is nowhere for your words to go, so there is no third party processing them and no retention policy to trust us on. The privacy promise is not a policy we chose to follow. It is a property of how the app is built.
Daily reminders and watch-hour notifications are scheduled by your phone, locally. Your reminder times are never sent to us, and we cannot send you a notification even if we wanted to. You can turn them off inside Freeman or in your phone's settings.
If you subscribe, the payment is handled entirely by Apple. We never see or receive your card number, billing address, or Apple ID. We receive only an anonymous indication of whether a subscription is active. That indicator is not connected to your name or to anything you have written in the app.
That check is run for us by RevenueCat, a subscription service that talks to Apple on our behalf. It receives a random identifier created on your device and whether your subscription is active. It never receives your name, your email, your letter, your notes, your photos, or anything else from inside the app. The identifier is not linked to your identity and is not used to track you across apps or websites.
This is the only network request Freeman makes, and it exists so the app can tell whether to let you in. If it fails, Freeman lets you in anyway.
There are two ways, and both are immediate and complete.
Neither requires you to contact us, because we are not holding a copy. There is no "request your data" process here for the same reason. If you want to keep any of it, write it down somewhere real before you erase it, because we cannot get it back for you.
Freeman is not directed at children and is not intended for anyone under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children. Given the subject matter, the app is rated for mature audiences on the App Store.
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information held about you, including under the GDPR and the CCPA. In Freeman's case those rights are satisfied on your device: you already hold the only copy, you can edit any of it at any time, and you can erase all of it in two taps without asking anyone.
If this policy changes in a way that affects what leaves your device, we will update the date at the top and note the change in the app before it takes effect.
We are not trying to own you. We are trying to help you get freedom.
