Privacy Policy
Last updated 12 October 2026
Let’s Converse has no accounts, no servers and no analytics. The app stores a small amount of information on your device so it can remember your preferences between launches. None of it is transmitted anywhere, and none of it reaches me or anyone else.
This policy explains exactly what is stored, where it lives, and what your rights are. It applies to the Let’s Converse iOS app and to this website.
Who is responsible
The controller of any personal data under the GDPR is:
- Erika Diskancova
- Gabelsbergerstraße 2b, 6020 Innsbruck, Austria
- hello@letsconverse.app
In practice I hold nothing about you from the app, because nothing it stores ever leaves your device. The one exception is this website, covered below. The contact details above are for questions and for exercising the rights described further down.
What the app stores on your device
The app writes the following to UserDefaults, Apple’s standard on-device preference store. It is held inside the app’s own sandbox on your iPhone:
| What | Why |
|---|---|
| Your onboarding survey answers — the categories you picked and the order you put them in, where you said your views come from, how settled you said your views are, how you chose to receive your topics, and your three preference answers, with the date you finished | The categories and their order decide which ones appear first, and together with how you chose to receive them, which topic each day's question comes from. Your sources set which kinds of reading the app will lead with. How settled your views are sets which way of writing an opinion the app will suggest first. The three preference answers produce the conversation profile the app shows you |
| Four flags recording that you finished the survey, finished the introduction, started setting up your daily reminder, and passed the screen that offers to keep your profile in an account | So the app does not show you the introduction again on every launch, and can offer to pick up where you left off if you closed it part-way |
| The ids of questions you save | To fill your saved list in the Journal |
| Your position in each category’s question order | So you are not shown the same question twice in a row |
| Your take on each day’s question — your stance, what you wrote, every version you saved, and anything you started and have not saved yet — with the day each one belongs to. If you keep the app’s one-sentence reading of your answers, it is stored with the take | So you can read and edit what you wrote, share it if you choose, and browse past days |
| Which question each day showed you | So today’s question stays the same all day, and to list your past days |
| When you saved each take, and on which day | To count your streak |
| Your daily reminder: the moment you chose, the time, and the days of the week | To schedule the reminder on your phone, to show your week, and so your streak counts only the days you picked |
| The day your first month started, when you held “I’m in” | To draw your 30-day habit map on the Today tab |
| Your subscription as the App Store last reported it: none, free trial, active or ended; which plan; and when it ends or renews | So the app opens on the right screen without waiting for the App Store, and keeps working when you have no signal |
That is the complete list. There is no name, no email address, no account and no device identifier. The only free text is what you type into your notes, and the reading of it you choose to keep, and it stays on your device.
The reading of your answers is written on your phone. On iPhones with Apple Intelligence, the app asks Apple’s on-device model to sum up your answers in one sentence. Your answers go to that model on your phone and nowhere else. The sentence is shown to you first, and it is stored only if you tap “Keep this”.
This is storage, not collection. The information stays on your device. It is not sent to a server, because there is no server. The app’s privacy manifest, which Apple requires and reviews, declares exactly this: the app uses UserDefaults for app functionality under Apple’s required-reason category CA92.1, tracks nothing, and collects no data types.
What the app does not do
- No network requests of its own. Questions ship inside the app. Buying, restoring or checking a subscription goes through Apple’s App Store, on your iPhone, the way every app’s in-app purchases do.
- No analytics or tracking. There is no analytics library in the app, no advertising identifier, and no cross-app or cross-site tracking.
- No accounts. There is nothing to sign up for and nothing to sign in to.
- No location, contacts, camera, microphone or photos. The one permission the app asks for is notifications, and only if you turn reminders on. Reminders are scheduled by iOS on your iPhone itself; nothing is sent from a server, and saying no is fine.
- No third-party services in the app. No SDKs, no processors, no data sharing.
This website
This site sets no cookies and runs no analytics. It loads its fonts from its own server rather than a third party, so visiting a page contacts nobody but us.
It is served by Cloudflare, which hosts the pages and, like any web host, necessarily processes the IP address and request details of each visit in order to deliver them. That is the only processor involved in this site, and none of it is joined to anything the app stores — the app never contacts this site.
Profiling and automated decisions
The app turns your three preference answers into one of nine “conversation profiles” and shows it to you. The profile is a label, not a filter: it does not decide which questions you are served. The categories you picked are what move those categories to the front of the list, and the questions themselves carry no tags or scoring at all.
The calculation runs entirely on your device and has no legal or similarly significant effect on you.
Apple
Downloading the app is a transaction between you and Apple, governed by Apple’s privacy policy. Apple gives me aggregate, anonymised App Store statistics such as download counts. I cannot identify anyone from them, and I use no other analytics.
Purchases are handled by Apple. Subscriptions are bought, billed and refunded through Apple’s App Store. I do not receive your name, your payment details or your Apple Account details. To unlock the app, the app checks your purchase with the App Store on your iPhone and keeps a single record on your device: whether you are subscribed, to which plan, and when it ends or renews. That record is not sent to me or to anyone else.
Keeping it, and getting rid of it
What the app stores stays on your device until you remove it. Deleting the app deletes all of it — iOS removes the app’s sandbox, and there is no copy on any server of ours.
You can also clear everything without deleting the app. Profile › Start over erases your survey answers, your saved questions, your place in each category, every note you have written, the record of which question each day showed you, your daily reminder, the day your first month started and the app’s copy of your subscription status, and returns the app to the state it was in when you first opened it. It asks you to confirm first, and it cannot be undone. Your subscription itself stays with your Apple Account, and the app notes its status again the next time it checks with the App Store.
If you have an iCloud device backup turned on, iOS may include the app’s stored preferences in that backup. That backup is between you and Apple under Apple’s privacy policy; I have no access to it.
Your rights
Under the GDPR and the Austrian Data Protection Act (Datenschutzgesetz) you have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict and port your personal data, to object to processing, and to withdraw consent.
For the app there is nothing for me to hand over, correct or erase, because I never receive it — you already have direct and complete control over everything it stores. For this website, write to hello@letsconverse.app and I will answer.
You have the right to complain to a supervisory authority. In Austria that is the Datenschutzbehörde, Barichgasse 40-42, 1030 Vienna.
If you are a California resident, the CCPA gives you rights to know, delete, correct and opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, and not to be discriminated against for using them. I do not sell or share personal information, and I hold none to disclose or delete.
Children
The app is not directed at children under 13 and knowingly collects nothing from anyone. Since nothing is transmitted or collected at all, no information about a child can reach me.
Security
What the app stores is protected by iOS itself: app sandboxing keeps it inaccessible to other apps, and your device passcode and encryption protect it at rest. Because nothing is transmitted and nothing is held on a server, there is no database of user data that could be breached.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new date at the top. Material changes will also be noted in the app’s release notes. Continuing to use the app after a change means you accept the revised policy.
