Evolve

Privacy Policy

Effective July 14, 2026

Evolve is a private reflection app. We keep the information needed to provide your account and personal journal, we don't sell your data, and we don't keep your voice recordings.

Information Evolve handles

  • Account information: your account identifier and basic profile details, such as your email address, from the sign-in provider.
  • Your content: check-in transcripts, journal entries, reflections, skills, goals, moods, and other information you choose to give Evolve.
  • Voice while transcribing: microphone audio is streamed to the transcription provider during a check-in. Evolve keeps the resulting words, not the recording.
  • Purchase information: product, entitlement, renewal, and subscription status from Apple and RevenueCat. Evolve does not receive your payment-card details.
  • Service information: request and diagnostic data needed to operate, secure, and troubleshoot the service. This can include timestamps, device or app version, and network information.
  • Marketing-site activity: page, browser, device, advertising-click, and conversion information used to understand whether an ad led to a waitlist signup or a sign-in attempt. These conversion events do not include the email you type or any journal content.

How we use it

We use this information to authenticate you, transcribe your check-ins, build your private journal and skill map, create reflections, keep your subscription status in sync, respond to support and safety issues, and maintain the reliability and security of Evolve. We also use limited marketing-site activity to measure whether our ads and public pages are useful.

Evolve is paid for by its users. We do not sell personal information, serve behavioral advertising, or use your journal content to build an advertising profile.

Service providers

Evolve relies on carefully scoped providers for sign-in, hosting and database storage, transcription, AI processing, and subscription management. These currently include Clerk, cloud infrastructure and database providers, ElevenLabs, model providers reached through our AI gateway, Apple, RevenueCat, and Google for marketing-site tag and advertising measurement.

Providers receive only what they need for their task. Text sent for AI processing is separated from your name, email, and account identifier. Our provider arrangements prohibit retaining that content or using it to train their models. Providers must protect information consistently with this policy and their applicable contractual and legal obligations.

Retention and deletion

We retain account information and the content you choose to keep for as long as your account remains active. Operational records may be retained for a limited period where needed for security, accounting, dispute resolution, or legal compliance.

You can delete an individual day from its detail screen. Deleting a check-in deletes its transcript and the content derived from it. You can delete all Evolve data and your account from Settings. Those actions remove the corresponding active records, subject to limited backup, fraud-prevention, financial-record, or legal retention requirements. Subscription records held by Apple are managed through your Apple Account.

Your choices

  • You decide when to grant or withdraw microphone access.
  • You can review and delete the content stored in Evolve.
  • You can delete all service data and your account in Settings.
  • You can limit marketing cookies and advertising measurement through your browser and Google ad settings.
  • You can manage or cancel Evolve Premium through Apple subscription settings or Evolve's Customer Center.

Children and changes

Evolve is not directed to children under 13. We may update this policy as the service changes or the law requires. Material updates will be dated here and, when appropriate, surfaced in the app.

Questions or requests

The fastest way to exercise deletion rights is inside Evolve: Settings includes account and data deletion controls. For other privacy questions or requests, use the current support contact on Evolve's App Store product page. Please do not include journal content in an initial support request.

Apple's own handling of App Store information is described in the App Store privacy information.
