1.1 Account Information. Mote does not require you to register or authenticate. There is no name, email address, or account identifier collected or stored by us at any point.

1.2 Task and Progress Data. Tasks, completion history, XP, levels, badges, and your app preferences (theme, energy pattern, notification settings, etc.) are stored locally on your device. This data is never transmitted to us or to any server we operate.

1.3 Health Data. With your explicit permission, Mote reads your daily step count from Apple Health to display your progress, and writes gym sessions you log in the App to Apple Health so they appear alongside your other health data. Health data is only ever read or written on your device via Apple's HealthKit framework and is never transmitted to us, stored on our servers, or shared with any third party.

1.4 Camera and Scanned List Data. If you use the scan-a-list feature, the App uses your camera to photograph a handwritten list. That image is processed entirely on your device using Apple's on-device text recognition — it is never uploaded, stored after processing, or shared with us or any third party.

1.5 Location Data. With your permission, the App uses your approximate location solely to calculate local sunrise and sunset times, which drive the app's visual day/night atmosphere. Your location is used in memory for that calculation only — it is never stored or transmitted anywhere.

1.6 Backup Data. Task and progress data lives in the App's local storage, which iOS automatically includes in your standard device backup (Finder/iCloud device backup) if you have that enabled on your phone — the same as any other app's data. This happens through Apple's own backup system, not a service we operate. The App also lets you manually export a backup file and import it later or on another device, entirely under your control.

1.7 Notifications. Mote can send you optional local reminders ("nudges") about your tasks, scheduled entirely on your device. These are local notifications only — Mote does not register for Apple's remote/push notification service, so we never receive a push token or any way to contact your device directly, and we never send promotional or marketing notifications.

1.8 Purchase and Subscription Data. We receive and retain subscription status, entitlement identifiers, and transaction-related metadata sufficient to verify your subscription and facilitate purchase restoration. Payment card details are processed exclusively by Apple; we never see or store them.

1.9 Diagnostic and Usage Data. If you opt in to analytics (off by default), anonymized usage signals — such as which screens are opened or which features are used — are associated with a hashed, non-reversible device-level identifier and do not include your name, tasks, health data, location, or anything else you've entered into the App.
