Unhooked — Privacy Policy

Last updated: 12 November 2026

Unhooked is an offline app. There is no account, no server, and no analytics or advertising software of any kind inside it. This page describes the whole of what happens to data, which is not much.

What the app stores, and where

Everything you enter stays in one file on your own device:

• the day you stopped, what you used and what it cost;
• check-ins, cravings you survived, the trigger you tagged, and how long you held;
• your savings goal, if you set one;
• your reminder settings.

That file lives inside the app's own storage on your phone. The home screen and lock screen widgets read the same file through a shared container that iOS provides to apps from the same developer. It never leaves the device.

What is not collected

• No name, email address, phone number or account of any kind
• No analytics, no usage events, no crash reports, no advertising identifiers
• No location
• No third-party SDKs

Network

The app contains no networking code. If you turn on Airplane Mode, every feature still works. The only network traffic associated with a purchase is handled by Apple, not by the app.

Purchases

Unhooked Pro is a one-time purchase processed by Apple through the App Store. Apple provides the app with a receipt so it can unlock what you paid for; Apple's own privacy policy covers the payment. The app never sees your payment details.

Notifications

If you turn reminders on, the app schedules local notifications on your device. No push server is involved, and nothing about your plan is sent anywhere to deliver them. You can turn them off at any time in the app or in iOS Settings.

Deleting your data

Settings → Your data → Delete everything removes the stored plan and the widget snapshot from this device. Deleting the app removes the same data. There is no copy anywhere else, so there is nothing for us to delete on our side.

Health information

Unhooked shows general information about withdrawal, drawn from public health sources and labelled as general information. It is not medical advice and it is not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat or monitor any condition.

Children

The app is not directed at children and collects nothing from anyone.

Changes

If this policy ever changes, the new version appears at this address with a new date. Since the app sends nothing anywhere, a change would only ever be needed to describe a new on-device feature.
