Privacy Policy

Tracking works on your phone

The app locally stores your counters, questionnaire and check-in answers, reading activity, saved verses and settings. You can use personal tracking without an account.

Deleting the app removes its local storage. This action does not delete an existing account or cancel an Apple subscription.

Screen Time: what Apple lets us see (nothing)

When you switch protection on, Agnus uses Screen Time, Apple's own mechanism. The apps and sites you choose are represented by opaque tokens: Apple never gives us their names, and we do not try to resolve them. We only ever display counts (“12 apps paused”).

Those choices, your time window and your domains stay on your iPhone. They go to no server at all, including ours, even if you have an account.

Agnus does not read your browsing history and does not know which apps you open.

Supabase backs up your account and progress

Sign-in uses Apple or Google. Supabase processes the identifier and sign-in information received from the provider, including an email address when supplied.

The backup includes your streak, best streak, urges overcome, button presses and timestamped events. It includes your journey step, completed steps, questionnaire answers and score, main trigger, reported frequency, risk window and goal.

Daily check-ins include mood, faith, selected context tags, the step action and optional answers about urges, sleep, prayer or recovery. This form does not ask for free text.

Daily reading counts, the identifiers of verses read, saved verses with their Bible text and reading positions are backed up. Language, theme and the reminder time including minutes are also backed up.

This data helps restore your progress and settings on another device. It is not displayed to other members.

What you share in Together

You publish under a pseudonym. Posts, replies and reactions are visible in the feed according to blocking and moderation rules. Your email, personal answers and counters are not published with them.

Reports and blocks are stored for moderation. Removing a post hides it from the feed. Account deletion removes associated data from the active database.

We measure how the app works

Agnus sends events to PostHog to understand how the app is used and improve its flow. A random identifier specific to the installation connects these events. It is not linked to your Agnus account or email address.

These events record app openings and returns, onboarding screens viewed, paywall views and purchase outcomes. They also record notification permission, scheduling and opening. If you choose to answer, we measure your age range and how you discovered Agnus.

If the app offers you the satisfaction survey, these events record that it opened and that you sent or declined it. Your answers are never part of them.

This measurement does not send your intimate questionnaire answers, daily check-ins, messages, account identifier or transaction identifiers. We do not record sessions or automatically capture gestures or screen content. These events are sent to PostHog’s European service and are not used for advertising.

If you answer the satisfaction survey

From the fourth day, the app offers you a four-question survey, once. It is optional. “No thanks” closes it without sending anything.

If you send it, we keep your two ratings, the features you ticked and your comment if you wrote one. We also keep the app language, your phone’s system (iOS or Android), the app version, the day of your journey and the date. A number drawn at random on your phone stops us from receiving the same answer twice.

This answer is not linked to your account, your subscription or PostHog’s measurement identifier. We use it only to improve Agnus, and we keep it as long as it helps us do that.

The answer goes through the agnus-app.com website server. It sees your IP address for the length of the request to limit abuse, and it does not store it. The answer is then stored in a private database on the same server as the website. If sending fails, the app keeps it on your phone and tries again later.

If your comment contains something about you, write to contact@agnus-app.com quoting that passage. We will delete it within thirty days.

If you tell us why you cancelled your subscription

When you cancel your subscription, the app may ask you why while it is still running.

If you answer, we keep the reason you chose, your text if you chose “Other” and your remark if you wrote one. We also keep the plan you cancelled, the app language, your phone’s system, the app version, the day of your journey and the date.

Like the survey, this answer is not linked to your account or to PostHog’s measurement identifier. It goes through the website server and stays in the same private database. We use it only to improve Agnus, and you can ask us to delete any text you wrote in it.

The third parties we use, by name

The following providers process data to operate the service. The app and website contain no advertising tracker.

• Apple

  Apple handles purchases, subscriptions and Sign in with Apple. Screen Time applies protection settings on your iPhone. Policy: apple.com/legal/privacy

• Google

  “Sign in with Google”, if you pick that door: we receive an identifier and the account's email address. Policy: policies.google.com/privacy

• RevenueCat

  RevenueCat manages purchase and subscription status. It receives an anonymous identifier before sign-in, then the Agnus account identifier after sign-in, along with technical information needed for purchases. Policy: revenuecat.com/privacy

• Supabase

  Supabase hosts the database, authentication, the Together feed and the website waiting list. Database functions limit the personal data each account can access. Policy: supabase.com/privacy

• PostHog

  PostHog receives the usage measurement events described above through its European service eu.i.posthog.com. Policy: posthog.com/privacy

• jsDelivr and getbible.net

  When you read a full book of the Bible in the Verses tab, the app downloads the chapter from these two public sources: they therefore see a request coming from your IP address. The daily verse and the emergency-button verse are already inside the app and ask no one for anything.

The site chooses its language from your country

The server uses the approximate country associated with your IP address to choose French or English. It consults a local country database provided by DB-IP or the country supplied by the hosting provider. This lookup does not request your GPS location or send your IP address to an external geolocation service.

If you change the language with the FR/EN button, the site remembers your choice in a cookie for one year. This cookie contains only the selected language. You can remove it in your browser settings.

If you leave your email on this site

The App Store and Google Play buttons on the home page offer to tell you when the app lands. If you leave your address, we keep: that address, the platform you are waiting for (iPhone or Android), the language of the page, and the date.

This address is stored in Supabase to announce the launch. We do not sell it or use it for advertising. The waiting list is separate from app accounts.

Write to contact@agnus-app.com and we take you off it within thirty days, with no reason to give.

How long we keep it

Local data remains in app storage until removed. Your account and its backup remain in the active database while the account exists.

You can delete your account from Agnus Settings. Deletion removes account-linked data from the active database. Apple and RevenueCat manage their own purchase data under their policies.

Your rights

You can ask for access to your data, its correction, its deletion or its export by writing to contact@agnus-app.com. We answer within thirty days.

If our answer does not satisfy you, you may lodge a complaint with your national data protection authority (in France, the CNIL at cnil.fr).

Minors

Agnus addresses a sensitive subject. Check the age rating shown on the App Store for your country and device. The app is not intended for children.

Agnus is not medical care

Agnus is not a medical device and replaces neither a doctor, nor a psychologist, nor pastoral support.

If you are in real distress, speak to a professional. In France, 3114 answers free of charge, twenty-four hours a day; elsewhere, look up your local crisis line.

If this policy changes

Any change will be published on this page, with its date. A significant change will also be announced inside the app.
