Privacy Policy

1) Who we are

The controller for personal information described in this policy is Keelwright Technology Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our”), a company incorporated in British Columbia, Canada. We publish the Clarity Path iPhone app and the website at tryclaritypath.com (the “Service”).

2) Scope

This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use the Clarity Path iPhone application and our public website. The mobile app is iPhone-oriented (current builds target modern iOS versions as stated on the App Store). Practices may differ slightly between the app and the website; each is described separately where needed.

3) How information is handled (overview)

• On your device: Core app content such as journals, mood logs, tool progress, and on-device analysis outputs is stored locally (for example via SwiftData) unless you enable optional sync.
• Optional iCloud sync: If enabled in Settings, progress and related records may sync through Apple’s CloudKit private database tied to your Apple ID.
• Optional HealthKit: With your permission, the app may write mindful session samples and may read certain health metrics for optional correlations.
• Apple platforms: Purchases, TestFlight, and optional Apple diagnostics are handled under Apple’s terms and privacy practices.
• Website: Aggregate analytics may run when configured (for example via Google Tag Manager). Website analytics are separate from in-app journal content.

4) Information processed on your device

Depending on how you use Clarity Path, the app may process on your device:

• Journal entries and reflections
• Mood check-ins and related local insights
• Guided Library tool progress and preferences (for example a display name)
• On-device guidance outputs (pattern surfacing / skill suggestions)
• Local settings such as notification preferences and the iCloud sync toggle

We design the product so that this content is not sent to Keelwright servers for cloud therapy-chatbot training. We cannot sell journal content we do not receive on our own servers.

5) Optional iCloud / CloudKit sync

Clarity Path supports optional cross-device sync using Apple CloudKit (private database associated with your Apple ID). You can control sync in Settings. When sync is enabled, app data such as progress and related records may be stored in your iCloud private database and synced across your devices signed into the same Apple ID. When sync is disabled, content is intended to remain on the local device (subject to backups you configure with Apple, and any HealthKit or other Apple services you authorize).

Turning sync off does not automatically erase every historical iCloud copy; you may need to manage or delete iCloud data through Apple’s controls or the app’s deletion flows. See Retention & deletion below.

6) HealthKit

If you grant HealthKit permission, Clarity Path may: (a) write mindful session samples for real mindfulness practice; and (b) read limited health metrics (such as sleep, step count, or heart-rate summaries) to support optional in-app correlations. Free-text mood notes and journal content are designed to remain in Clarity’s local store and are not written to HealthKit as mood text. Health data you authorize stays under Apple’s Health framework and your device/Apple ID permissions. You can revoke Health access in iOS Settings.

7) On-device guidance (AI)

Guidance features are designed to run on your iPhone using on-device capabilities (for example Core ML and, when available on your hardware/OS, Apple Intelligence). These features may surface thinking patterns or suggest a matching CBT/DBT exercise. Clarity Path does not provide a cloud “AI therapist” that uploads your journal to Keelwright for training a therapy chatbot. Feature availability depends on your device and OS.

8) Purchases (StoreKit / App Store)

In-app purchases (including freemium unlocks such as Lifetime Premium, and any other options shown on the App Store purchase screen) are processed by Apple. Apple acts as the merchant of record. We may receive purchase/entitlement status needed to unlock Premium features. We do not receive your full payment card details. Billing, taxes, refunds, and Family Sharing (where offered) follow Apple’s App Store terms.

9) Notifications, widgets, and related Apple features

• Notifications: If you enable them, local reminders may use on-device context (for example check-in habits). You can disable notifications in iOS Settings.
• Widgets: Home Screen widgets may show check-in or suggestion cues using data shared via the app’s App Group on your devices.
• Apple Journal suggestions (if enabled on your system): Where the app is configured to integrate with Apple’s Journal suggestions entitlement, limited suggestion-related behavior may involve Apple frameworks under your device settings.

10) Information we may receive

• Support communications. If you email support@tryclaritypath.com or contact us another way, we receive what you choose to send (for example email address, message text, screenshots) to respond.
• Website analytics. Our public website may use analytics tooling (such as Google Tag Manager when configured) to understand aggregate traffic and marketing performance. This does not give us your in-app journal content.
• Apple diagnostics. If you opt in to share analytics/diagnostics with developers via iOS or TestFlight, Apple may provide limited crash or technical diagnostics under Apple’s policies. Those channels are controlled by Apple and your device settings.
• Purchase entitlements. As described above, anonymized or limited purchase status from Apple so Premium access works.

11) What we do not do

• We do not sell your personal information.
• We do not operate a Clarity Path cloud therapy chatbot that trains on your journal content.
• We do not claim absolute “Data Not Collected” or “never leaves your device” while optional iCloud sync, HealthKit, Apple platform services, website analytics, or support email remain available.
• We do not require a Keelwright login account to use the core app experience.

12) Children

Clarity Path is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us information via support channels, contact us and we will take appropriate steps.

13) Retention and deletion

• On-device content: Remains under your control on the device. Deleting the app or using in-app data deletion removes local therapeutic data as implemented in the current app version.
• iCloud sync: If sync was enabled, some records may remain in your private CloudKit database until deleted through the app’s deletion flow and/or Apple iCloud controls. Deletion of remote copies is best-effort and can depend on Apple ID authentication and network conditions.
• Support emails: Retained as needed to resolve your request, then deleted or minimized in ordinary course.
• Website analytics: Retained according to our analytics providers’ settings and applicable law.

14) Sharing and service providers

We share information only as needed to operate the Service, including:

• Apple (App Store, CloudKit/iCloud when you enable sync, HealthKit when authorized, TestFlight)
• Website hosting and analytics providers (for the public site)
• Email or support tooling if used to receive your messages

Providers receive only what is needed for their function. We do not sell personal information.

15) International transfers

We are based in British Columbia, Canada. Apple and website providers may process data in other countries. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses or provider terms) for cross-border transfers.

16) Security

On-device content is protected by iOS device security (including device encryption and, when you enable them, device passcode/biometrics). For website and support systems, we use technical and organizational measures appropriate to the risk, such as access controls and encryption in transit. No method of storage or transmission is 100% secure.

17) Your rights

Depending on where you live (including under Canadian federal/provincial privacy laws such as PIPEDA and applicable British Columbia law, and other regimes such as GDPR/CCPA where they apply), you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or obtain information about personal information we hold, or to withdraw consent where processing is consent-based.

Because much app content resides on your device (and optionally in your iCloud private database), many requests are fulfilled by using in-app controls, deleting the app, or managing Apple ID/iCloud/Health permissions. For information we hold directly (for example support emails or website analytics identifiers), contact us at support@tryclaritypath.com. We will respond as required by applicable law.

18) Self-help notice (not medical advice)

Clarity Path is a self-help skills companion for practice (including between sessions). It is not medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or emergency services, and it is not a substitute for care from a qualified clinician. If you may be in danger, contact local emergency services or a crisis line. See also our Crisis support page and our Terms of Use.

19) Changes to this policy

We may update this policy to reflect product, legal, or operational changes. We will revise the “Last updated” date above. Material changes may be highlighted on this page or communicated through reasonable means (for example an App Store or website notice).
