YourQue Privacy Policy

Effective date: 26 October 2026

YourQue is a habit tracker made by an independent developer. This policy is short because the answer to almost every privacy question about YourQue is the same: your habit data lives on your device, and in a backup in your own iCloud Drive or Google Drive, which the developer cannot see. What the app sends out is listed here: a version check when it starts, a request for the shop's pieces when you open the Shop tab, purchases through Apple or Google, and, with YourQue+, the optional AI coach, only what you choose to send for the parts you turn on.

What we collect

Almost nothing, and never anything that names you. The YourQue app has no accounts, no analytics, no ad tracking, no advertising, and no third-party kit that gathers data about you for us or for advertisers; the outside services the app does talk to are all listed under Who the app talks to. Your habits, their names, your check-ins, your why and your Destiny text live on your device and in your own cloud backup, and the developer keeps no copy of them. The app sends out four kinds of things, each described below: with YourQue+, only what each part you turn on needs (for the coach and hold to talk that includes your habit names and your why, and for hold to talk your recording) and a report when you choose to send one; when it starts, a request for the newest version number; when you open the Shop tab, a request for the shop's pieces in the app's language; and purchases, which go through Apple or Google. The website's forms and the giveaway are covered at the end of this policy.

Your theme choice

If you switch the site to light mode, we store that single preference in a cookie so the page stays the way you left it, and so the shop matches. The only value stored is the word light or dark. It identifies nobody, it is not analytics, and it is not shared.

The website counts visits and taps on its store buttons, per day and per link tag (such as the number in a video's link). It stores nothing that identifies you: no cookie, no IP address, no device details, and nothing is shared.

Where your data lives

Everything you enter into YourQue, including your habits, check-ins, streaks and settings, is stored on your own device. One copy can exist elsewhere: the backup the app writes into your own iCloud Drive or Google Drive, described in the next section. That copy sits in your Apple or Google account, not with us, and the developer cannot see it. No server of ours keeps your data; what YourQue+ sends, only for the parts you turn on, is described below.

Backups in your own cloud

On iPhone, whenever the phone is signed in to iCloud and iCloud can be reached, the app writes a copy of all its data each time it starts: every habit with its name, settings and why note, every check-in, and your Destiny text. It is one file, YourQue Backup.json, in a folder named YourQue in your iCloud Drive, where you can see it in the Files app. You can switch this backup off in Settings: no new copies are made then, and the copy already in your iCloud Drive stays until you delete it there. Apple stores the file in your own Apple account; the developer never receives it and has no access to it. An empty app never overwrites an existing backup, so a new phone can restore from it.

On Android, the backup exists only after you choose to connect Google Drive in YourQue's Settings. Connecting signs you in with your Google account, through Google. The app asks Google for the narrowest Drive permission there is: access to its own hidden app folder in your Drive, and nothing else in your Drive. The same full copy is written there as one file each time the app starts. The app does not read or store your Google account's name, email address or photo. Disconnecting in Settings signs the app out; the file stays in your Drive.

You can also make a backup file yourself at any time; see Sharing and exporting below.

Accounts

YourQue has no account of its own and no sign-up. You are never asked for a name, email address, phone number, or any other identifying information. The only sign-in anywhere in the app is the optional Google sign-in for the Drive backup on Android; it is with Google, and the app keeps nothing from it.

Purchases

YourQue offers a one-time purchase called YourQue Full, a discounted gift version of the same purchase, and an optional subscription called YourQue+. YourQue Full is one purchase, not a subscription. YourQue+ is a monthly or yearly subscription that renews on its own until you cancel it. Payment for all three is processed entirely by the Apple App Store or Google Play. The developer never sees your name, payment card, or billing details; Apple or Google only confirms to the app that a purchase was made or a subscription is active. The 7-day free trial of YourQue Full is tracked by a simple marker stored on your device, not on any server. The 14-day free trial of YourQue+ is run by the store, as with any subscription.

YourQue+ and the AI behind it

YourQue+ is the optional subscription for the parts of YourQue that need an AI service, OpenAI: a coach that knows your day, hold to talk, a short spoken reflection on your week, and a short spoken note on the day you pick a habit back up after missed time. Every part is off until you turn it on or ask for it, and nothing is sent for it before then. The coach and hold to talk each ask for your permission first. Here is exactly what each part sends.

The weekly reflection is made when you tap for it, or, if you switch on Prepare my reflection each week, in the background on the first day you open the app each week; the return note only when you tap for it. Without the coach, what leaves your phone for the weekly reflection is a set of counts, and this is the complete list: how many habits you track; your check-ins in the last 7 days and in the week before; how many days this week had a check-in; how many days this week a habit was due and nothing was checked in; how many habits were done on every due day this week; how many habits were missed entirely this week; your longest current run; how many weeks in a row had at least one check-in; how many days you showed up this year; how many times you came back after missed time this year and this month; the weekday with the most and the one with the fewest check-ins over the last 12 weeks; the weekday it is today; the week number; the language the app is set to; and the first sentence and the last paragraph of your previous reflection, so the new one can follow up on it. The return note, with or without the coach, carries the days since that habit's previous check-in, your comebacks this year, the days you showed up this year, the number of habits, and the language. Neither carries your habit names, your why, your Destiny text, dates, or anything that identifies you. Each request also carries an app key that is the same for every copy of YourQue; it shows our function that the request comes from the app, not who you are.

The counts go to a small function on our own server, which passes them to OpenAI, returns the text to your phone, and keeps no content: no database, no copy and no log of it. The text is then sent once more, with the voice you chose, to OpenAI's speech service, and comes back as audio. The reflection and the audio are stored on your phone only. OpenAI processes the counts and the text to produce the reflection; under its API terms it does not use them to train its models and may keep them for up to 30 days to check for abuse. Like any internet request, these two requests carry your IP address to our host, Netlify, which handles it the way every web host does; we do not record it. A report you choose to send is a separate request, described below. The voice is a generated voice, not a person.

The coach, if you turn it on, makes a short spoken plan in the morning and a short close of the day in the evening. For each one it sends, for every habit, its name with today's state (done, open or skipped), the reminder times you set for it, the part of the day you gave it and what you wrote under Why, each only when there is one; and the date and time, the language the app is set to, the voice you chose, and the short note described below. If you also let it use your calendar, it reads the calendar on your phone, works out today's free stretches there, and sends only the start and end time of each. The titles, places, notes and people of your appointments never leave your phone. The plan is made when you ask for it or tap the coach's notification.

With the coach on, your weekly reflection is written by the coach and spoken in the voice you chose. It then sends the same counts and, for each habit, its name, what you wrote under Why, how many days it was due and done this week and last week, and how long it has been going, together with the coach's short note and the opening and the suggestion of last week's reflection. The reflection and its audio are stored on your phone only.

Hold to talk records your voice only while you hold the button, or between a tap to start and a tap to stop, for up to a minute. The microphone is never on at any other time. The recording is sent with the language the app is set to, the short note, your habit names with today's state, the reminder times you set for them, the part of the day you gave them and what you wrote under Why, and, if the coach may use your calendar, the start and end of your free time today, so the answer fits your day. For ten minutes after a talk, your next talk also carries what you said last and the coach's answer, so it can follow on. OpenAI turns the recording into text and writes the answer; the text of what you said and the answer come back to your phone, and the answer is spoken by a generated voice, not a person.

The coach keeps a short note of what you told it, a few lines at most, so the next answer knows your plans. After each talk, your phone sends the note and the text of what you just said to our server, OpenAI writes the updated note, and it comes back to your phone, which is the only place it is stored; it is not part of your cloud backup. The note goes along with each talk, with the morning and evening notes and with the coach's weekly reflection. You can read it and delete it in Coach settings at any time, and deleting the app deletes it too. Delete everything the coach knows, also in Coach settings, removes the note together with the coach's stored reflections and day notes and their voices; your habits and their history stay.

Every request from the coach and from hold to talk, the coach's weekly reflection included, goes to a small function on our own server, hosted by Netlify, which passes it to OpenAI and returns the answer to your phone. Our server keeps no content of these requests: no recordings, no text, no database of content and no log of content. To stop misuse of the paid service, it counts requests per internet connection; for that it keeps a scrambled form of the connection's address, never the address itself, with that day's count, and deletes it after at most two days. Like any internet request, each one carries your IP address to Netlify, which handles it the way every web host does. OpenAI processes what you send to produce the answer and the speech; under its API terms it does not use it to train its models. It keeps no copy of your recording, and may keep the text for up to 30 days to check for abuse.

You can report any answer from the coach, in the morning, in the evening or after a talk, and the weekly reflection and the return note too, with Report this answer inside the app. A report sends us the answer, the reason you pick and your note, if you add one, with which kind of answer it was and the language the app is set to; never your recording or what you said. We keep reports for up to 90 days, with no address or identifier attached, so we can look into what went wrong, and then delete them. Report requests are counted per connection in the same way as described above: a scrambled address with that day's count, kept apart from the reports and deleted after at most two days. Deleting the app does not delete a report you already sent.

Switch a part off in Coach settings and nothing more is sent for it; for the coach and hold to talk, that also withdraws your permission. When your YourQue+ subscription ends, nothing more is sent for any part of it.

Checking for updates

Once each time it starts, the app asks which version of YourQue is the newest, to find out whether an update is available. On iPhone it asks Apple's public App Store lookup service, sending only the app's own identifier, not yours. On Android it asks a one-value function on our web host, Netlify, which answers with a version number and stores nothing. Nothing about you is sent. Like any internet request, it carries your phone's IP address to Apple or to Netlify.

The Shop tab

The Shop tab shows the pieces from the YourQue shop at shop.yourque.app, which runs on Shopify. When you open the tab and the copy on your phone is missing, in another language or at least six hours old, the app asks Shopify for the current pieces. That request carries the language the app is set to, so the pieces come back in your language, and the shop's public access key, which is the same for every copy of YourQue; it carries no identifier and nothing about your habits. The photos come from Shopify's image servers. Like any internet request, these requests carry your phone's IP address to Shopify. The list that comes back is kept on your phone, so the tab opens at once, even offline. The app shows no prices and takes no orders: tapping a piece, or the button to the whole shop, opens shop.yourque.app in a browser sheet, and from there the shop website's own privacy policy and cookie choices apply.

Your calendar

With YourQue Full, you can choose to show today's appointments from your phone's calendar on the Today screen. The setting is off until you switch it on and allow calendar access. With YourQue+, the coach can use your calendar too, if you switch that on in Coach settings: it works out today's free time on the phone and sends only the start and end of each free stretch, as described under YourQue+. The app only reads your calendar and never writes to it, it reads on the phone only, and the appointment titles are shown and never stored or sent anywhere. On Android the app asks for read access only.

Sharing and exporting

You can export your habit data to a file, import it again on another device, and share achievement postcards as images. All of this happens only when you choose it. The file or image goes wherever you send it through your device's share options, and the developer never receives a copy.

Notifications

If you choose to turn on a reminder, it is scheduled locally by the operating system on your device. Reminders are off by default, and enabling them does not send any information to the developer or to any third party. The YourQue+ coach's morning and evening notifications are scheduled on your phone the same way; the plan itself is made only when you ask for it or tap the notification, as described above.

Who the app talks to

This is the complete list. Apple: purchases, the iCloud backup, and the update check on iPhone. Google: purchases, and on Android the optional Drive backup with its sign-in. Our own small functions on our web host, Netlify: the update check on Android and, with YourQue+, the reflection, the return note, the coach, hold to talk and any report you send. The Help links in the app open pages of this website, which Netlify also hosts. OpenAI: with YourQue+ only, for the parts you turn on. Shopify, which runs the YourQue shop: the pieces and their photos for the Shop tab; a piece you tap opens its page on the shop's website, which Shopify also hosts. No analytics service, no ad tracking and no advertising kit is built in.

Deleting your data

Deleting the app deletes everything it stored on your phone, the coach's short note included. It does not delete the backup in your cloud: that file stays in your iCloud Drive or Google Drive until you delete it there, and we cannot delete it for you, because we have no access to it. On iPhone you can delete the file in the Files app; if the app is still installed and its iCloud backup is on, it writes a fresh copy at its next start. Deleting the app also does not delete a report you sent with Report this answer: that stays with us for up to 90 days, with no address or identifier attached, and is then deleted. Apart from such a report, the developer holds no copy of your data, so there is nothing for you to request deletion of from us. Files you exported or images you shared yourself remain wherever you saved or sent them. What the website keeps, and how to have it deleted, is described in the sections below.

Contact and review forms

This part and the giveaway below are about the website, yourque.app, not the app. The contact form takes your name, which is optional, your email address, the topic you choose and your message, and we use them only to reply to you. The review form takes a star rating, your first name, which phone you use, the review text, an optional email address, your permission to publish the review, and the link tag that brought you to the page, such as which video or the bio link. A review appears on yourque.app, with your first name and the phone, only with the permission you gave on the form, and one email to support@yourque.app takes it down later. Submissions of both forms are kept in our web host's form inbox until we delete them; write to support@yourque.app to have yours deleted.

Free code giveaway

Now and then we give away a small number of YourQue Full codes at yourque.app/free. To claim one, you give your email address, choose iPhone or Android, and confirm that you are 16 or older. So that each address can claim only once, we keep a hash of your email address, a scrambled version from which the address cannot be read back, together with the code you were given, the phone type, the language of the page, the time of the claim, and the link tag that brought you to the page, such as which video or the bio link, or direct when there was none. Each load of the claim page also writes one log line holding only that link tag, nothing about you. To limit claims to three per internet connection a day, we also keep a hash of your IP address. Your email address itself is used only to send you the code and is not stored, unless you tick the box for YourQue news: then we keep it, with your language and the date, to send you news now and then, and for nothing else.

We delete all of these records 90 days after the giveaway ends, except the news sign-ups, which stay until you ask us to remove them. To have your claim record or your news sign-up deleted sooner, write to support@yourque.app from the address you used.

Withdrawing from a shop purchase

The page yourque.app/withdraw is the online way to withdraw from a purchase in the YourQue shop, which EU law requires us to offer. When you confirm a withdrawal there, you send your name, your order number, the e-mail address for the confirmation and, if you fill it in, which items you are returning. A small function on our web host, Netlify, turns that into two e-mails, sent through our mail provider, ImprovMX: the confirmation of receipt to the address you gave, with what you sent and the date and time, and a copy to YourQue, so we can handle the return. We use these details only to process your withdrawal, which is a legal obligation on our side. Our server keeps none of them: no database, no copy and no log of your name, order number or e-mail address. To limit misuse of the form, it counts submissions per internet connection; for that it keeps a scrambled form of the connection's address, never the address itself, with that day's count, and deletes it after at most two days. Like any internet request, the submission carries your IP address to Netlify, which handles it the way every web host does. The two e-mails stay in the mailboxes they were sent to until they are deleted; write to support@yourque.app to have our copy deleted once the return is settled.

Children

YourQue is designed for adults. It does not knowingly collect personal data from children. What YourQue+ sends, and the little our server keeps, is described above.

Changes to this policy

If a future version of YourQue changes how data is handled, this policy will be updated before that version is released, and the effective date above will change. The current version keeps your habit data on your device and in a backup in your own iCloud Drive or Google Drive, asks once per start which version is newest, asks the shop for its pieces when you open the Shop tab, and, with YourQue+, sends only what each part you turn on needs, as described above.

This policy was written in English and translated. If a translation differs from the English, the English version applies.
