Privacy Policy

Overview

This policy describes what information Poise handles, how it is used, and the choices you have. Poise is made by With Poise LLC.

Information Poise Handles

• What you write, including messages, drafts, moments, intentions, notes, and tags, is stored on your device. Poise has no accounts.
• When you use Refine, the message and your direction go through Poise's server to Anthropic, the outside partner that returns the suggestion. Refine requests carry an anonymous app identifier used to prevent abuse and enforce fair-use limits. They never carry your name, contacts, or message history.
• Subscriptions are managed through an outside provider using an anonymous identifier, with payment handled by Apple.
• To improve Poise, we collect usage analytics through an outside provider: which screens are visited and which features are used, along with basic device details (model, iOS version, app version) and approximate location estimated from your internet address, under a random identifier. What you write is never part of analytics or crash reports.
• If Poise crashes, a crash report goes to the same analytics provider the next time the app opens: what failed inside the app, plus the same device details under the same random identifier.
• The withpoise.app website counts visits through an outside provider, without cookies and without identifying you.
• If you give the withpoise.app website your email address, it passes through Poise's server, which keeps no copy, to Buttondown, the mailing service, which stores it and sends launch news and occasional updates. The IP address the sign-up came from goes with it, to tell people from automated sign-ups. Each email carries an unsubscribe link, and the address is used for nothing else.
• App preferences and permissions you grant (such as notifications) are stored on your device.

How Information Is Used

Information is used to provide Poise's features: rewriting a message when you tap Refine, managing your subscription, and delivering reminders you schedule. It's also used to understand how and where Poise is used, so we can improve it and decide where to focus.

Service Providers

Poise uses outside providers to process Refine requests (Anthropic), manage subscriptions, collect usage analytics and crash reports, handle payments and app distribution, and run the website's mailing list (Buttondown). Service providers receive only the information needed to perform their function and are required to protect it to the standard described in this policy.

Retention and Deletion

Content you create stays on your device and is removed when you delete the app (subject to any device backups you have enabled). Refine requests are processed to return a result. Service providers retain records per their own policies.

Your Choices

• Refine runs only when you tap it
• Notifications can be turned off in Settings
• Usage analytics and crash reports can be turned off in Settings (Share usage data)
• Settings → Delete all data removes everything you've written from this device
• Deleting the app removes the content stored on your device

Your Rights

Poise does not maintain accounts and cannot link the information it handles to a specific person. There is therefore no personal record to access, correct, export, or delete on request. Content you create is stored on your device and can be removed with Delete all data in Settings or by deleting the app. Questions or requests about your information may be sent to hello@withpoise.app. If you are in the EU or UK, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

Children

Poise is not directed to children under 13.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as Poise evolves. The date above reflects the latest revision, and material changes will be reflected here before they take effect.
