Last updated: August 6, 2026. This policy explains what Onset stores,
what it does not collect, and how to contact me with privacy
questions.

Summary
Onset is local. It does not require an account, sync your caffeine
or sleep information to a cloud service, use analytics, or track
you across apps or websites.
Information stored on your device
Onset stores the caffeine entries you create, including source,
amount, time, and optional notes. This history stays on your
device unless you choose to export it.
Onset also stores your optional restfulness ratings and app
preferences locally, such as appearance, caffeine assumptions,
bedtime assumptions, and onboarding completion state.
Apple Health sleep data
If you choose to connect Apple Health, Onset requests read-only
access to sleep records. Onset uses recent sleep duration on
your iPhone to compare your logged caffeine with your own sleep
and restfulness patterns.
Onset does not write to Apple Health, upload health data, or
store copies of Apple Health sleep samples. You can change
access at any time in the Health app.
Information Onset does not collect
Onset does not collect account or login information,
cloud-synced caffeine history, analytics events, advertising
identifiers, cross-app or cross-website tracking data, or
subscription and in-app purchase data.
Onset does not sell or share personal data.
Exporting and deleting data
Onset includes local export tools so you can export your
caffeine history. To delete Onset data, delete entries in the
app where available or remove the app from your iPhone. Removing
the app deletes its local app data according to iOS behavior.
Caffeine estimates and health
Onset shows caffeine estimates and personal associations for
awareness only. Caffeine timing, sleep, and individual responses
vary. An association does not establish that caffeine caused a
sleep result. Onset is not a medical device and does not provide
medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
Children
Onset is not intended for children under 13. Onset does not
knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated as Onset changes. If a future version
adds accounts, cloud sync, analytics, subscriptions, or other
data processing, this policy will be updated before those
changes are released.
