Short version: the Scathe app keeps your habits on your phone. The only thing that ever leaves your device is the receipt when you buy something — and that's handled by the app store and our payments provider, not by a server of ours. We don't have one.
Everything you actually do in Scathe — your habits, check-ins, streaks, XP, achievements, settings, and the roasts you've collected — is stored only on your device, in a local database. We never upload it, never see it, and have no account system or server to send it to. Uninstall the app and that data is gone with it.
One thing: in-app purchases. When you buy something, the purchase is processed by Google Play and recorded by our payments provider, RevenueCat, so the app can unlock what you paid for, restore it if you reinstall or change phones, and spot duplicate or fraudulent transactions. To do that, the following is collected over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection:
On-device data: uninstall the app and it's deleted. Purchase records held by RevenueCat: email hello@scathe.app and we'll have them deleted.
Scathe is an 18+ app — strong language, adult humor, the whole point. It is not directed at children, and we don't knowingly collect data from anyone under 18.
The only data that ever leaves your device travels over an encrypted (HTTPS/TLS) connection.
If you hand us your email address on this site, we use it to let you know when you can pre-register and when Scathe launches — a couple of emails, no more. On submit, it passes through a small function on our host (Cloudflare) straight to Beehiiv, our email provider, which stores it and sends the emails on our instructions — we keep no copy ourselves. Both see the routine technical bits any web request carries (such as your IP), handled under their own policies. It's never sold, traded, or read aloud at parties. Email hello@scathe.app to be removed. No questions, mild relief.
We also keep a rough headcount of everyone who wanders onto this site, using Cloudflare Web Analytics. It's cookieless and genuinely can't tell who you are — it counts how many people showed up and roughly where they came from, and that's the entire extent of our snooping. No profiles, no ad networks, no following you around the internet. We just want to know if anyone's out there.
Questions, or want your data gone? hello@scathe.app. If this policy changes, we'll update the date below.
