Privacy policy

Summary

• There's no account. I don't ask for your name, email, location, contacts or any advertising ID.
• Your brain dumps, breakdowns, history and settings are stored on your device.
• When you tap to break a task down, the text you wrote (or the transcript of what you said) is sent to OpenRouter, which passes it to an AI model, currently Anthropic's, to write the steps. Nothing that identifies you is attached.
• RevenueCat checks whether you have Pro, using an anonymous ID. Apple handles the payment.
• No ads, no analytics, no tracking. I don't run a server that keeps what you write, and I don't sell anything.

Incling helps you break down tasks that feel too big to start. This page explains what the app does with your information, who else is involved, and what you can do about it. It applies to the Incling app. Incling is made by Waristone (“I”, “me”), a one-person studio in Manitoba, Canada, and I’m responsible for the choices the app makes. The services named below are responsible for their own handling of the data they receive.

Who gets what

Who	What they get	Why
OpenRouter, and the AI model it uses (currently Anthropic)	The text of a brain dump, when you tap to break it down.	To write the breakdown and send it back.
RevenueCat	An anonymous ID, your purchase events, app version, OS version and country.	To check whether you have Pro.
Apple	Payment, voice transcription, and iCloud Backup if you use it.	Their part in running the app on your iPhone.

Nothing else leaves your device. The details are below.

What stays on your device

Incling doesn’t need an account. It stores these things on your device only:

• the text (or voice transcript) of the brain dumps you start;
• the step-by-step breakdowns made for them;
• your history of past brain dumps, capped at the most recent 50;
• your settings (theme, motion preferences and so on);
• a small counter of how many brain dumps you’ve started today, used for the free version’s daily limit.

All of it is kept in regular app storage. You can clear it any time with Settings → Reset all, and it’s removed when you delete the app.

What leaves your device

Breakdowns. When you submit a brain dump, the text you typed, or the transcript of what you said, is sent to OpenRouter (openrouter.ai). OpenRouter sends it to a large language model provider (currently Anthropic) to write the breakdown, and the result comes back to your device and is saved there.

• Your name, email, account ID or device identifier are not attached to these requests. The app doesn’t have them.
• OpenRouter and the model provider handle the text under their own policies. See openrouter.ai/privacy and the model provider’s privacy policy.
• If the AI service can’t be reached or isn’t set up, the breakdown is made on your device from built-in templates, and nothing leaves your device.

Voice input. If you speak instead of typing, your iPhone’s built-in Apple speech recognition turns the audio into text, under Apple’s privacy policy. Only the resulting text is sent on, as above. Incling doesn’t upload the audio.

Subscriptions. Incling uses RevenueCat to manage subscriptions and check whether you have Pro. When you open the paywall or buy something, RevenueCat receives an anonymous ID made on your device, your purchase events, and basic app and device details (app version, OS version, country). It doesn’t receive your brain dumps, your name or your email. Apple processes the payment itself through In-App Purchase. See RevenueCat’s privacy policy.

Network basics. When your device talks to OpenRouter or RevenueCat, they see your IP address, as with any internet connection, and may keep it briefly in their server logs under their own policies. I don’t receive those logs.

iCloud Backup. If you use iCloud Backup, iOS may include Incling’s on-device data in your backup. Apple handles that under its own policies. You can leave Incling out of iCloud Backup in the Settings app.

Crash reports. If you’ve chosen to share diagnostics with app developers, Apple’s App Store Connect may show me aggregated, anonymized crash reports and performance figures. They don’t include your brain dumps, your name or anything that identifies you.

What I don’t do

• No ads, and no advertising SDKs.
• No third-party analytics, tracking or marketing SDKs.
• No tracking across other companies’ apps or websites. Incling doesn’t ask for App Tracking Transparency permission because there’s nothing to track.
• I don’t sell, rent, share or trade your brain dumps, and I don’t share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
• I don’t run a server that stores your brain dumps or breakdowns. I have no copy of them.

Your choices

• Clear your data. Settings → Reset all clears your brain dumps, history, preferences and the daily counter. Deleting the app removes everything on the device.
• Keep text on your device. Nothing is sent until you tap to break a task down. If you don’t, nothing leaves.
• Data held by others. I don’t store your brain dumps, so I have no copy to give you or erase. For anything held by OpenRouter, the model provider or RevenueCat, contact them using the links above.

Your rights, wherever you live

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to know what personal information is held about you, to get a copy, to correct it, to have it deleted, to object to or restrict how it’s used, and to withdraw consent. Because I don’t run a server and hold nothing that identifies you, these requests usually produce no data from me, but write to support@waristone.com and I’ll do what I can.

EU, UK and Switzerland. Your brain dump text is sent to OpenRouter because you ask for it, in the app, each time. Not submitting a brain dump withdraws that consent. Subscription checks through RevenueCat are needed to provide the subscription you bought. Transfers out of the EEA, UK or Switzerland rely on the standard contractual clauses and other safeguards those providers put in place. You can complain to your local data protection authority.

Canada. You have rights under PIPEDA and provincial privacy law, and you can complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.

Quebec. Under Law 25, you should know that Incling uses a third-party AI (currently OpenRouter, routing to Anthropic) to suggest breakdowns from the text you submit. It’s a suggestion, not a decision with legal or similar effects on you, and you’re free to edit or ignore it. Only the text you choose to submit is used. The person in charge of protecting personal information at Waristone can be reached at support@waristone.com. You can complain to the Commission d’accès à l’information du Québec.

California and other US states. Incling doesn’t sell or share personal information, doesn’t do targeted advertising or profiling, and doesn’t collect sensitive personal information, so there’s nothing to opt out of. Using your rights won’t change how Incling works for you. If you write in, tell me which state you live in.

Other countries. Your brain dump text may be processed on servers outside your country, including in the United States.

Children

Incling isn’t meant for children under 13 (or the minimum age where you live, which is 16 in some EU countries), and I don’t knowingly collect personal information from children. If a child has used the app, deleting it removes the data on the device, and you can email me.

Not medical advice

Incling is a general productivity tool. It isn’t a medical device, isn’t meant to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any condition, and isn’t a substitute for advice from a qualified healthcare professional. It’s described as helpful for people whose brains don’t deal well with big tasks because that’s who it was built for, not as a clinical claim.

Changes

If how Incling handles information changes, I’ll update this page and its date. Bigger changes, such as adding analytics or accounts, will be pointed out in the app before they take effect.
