Your days stay yours.

Last updated 2 November 2026

Outpost keeps your records on your iPhone. The app has no Outpost account and doesn’t talk to an Outpost server, and we don’t collect what you write or track. If you join the waitlist on this website, we keep your email address until the launch offer ends, and nothing else.

1. Who this covers

Outpost is made by Greg Keegan (“we”, “us”). This policy covers the Outpost app for iPhone and this website. It explains what stays on your device, what the services we rely on (Apple, RevenueCat and Cloudflare) handle, and your choices.

2. What stays on your iPhone

Outpost stores everything you give it in a database on your device:

your start date, daily check-ins, past streaks and longest streak
field notes: what helped, your own reasons, and notes on harder days
your reasons for stopping, your if-then plans, and the hard moments you’ve ridden out
your spending estimate and the currency taken from your phone’s region
settings such as reminder times, the painting behind Home, and edited daily lines
a random device id created by the app, shown in Settings, used only on the device

None of this is sent to us. We can’t read it, and we can’t recover it for you. Outpost has no analytics, advertising or tracking SDKs, and doesn’t use your records for profiling.

3. Face ID lock

You can turn on Lock with Face ID in Settings. Outpost then asks iOS to check it’s you each time the app opens or comes back from the background. iOS does the check, using Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode, and tells Outpost only whether it succeeded. Outpost never receives, stores or sends your face data.

4. Notifications, sharing and Photos

Check-in reminders, Encouragement notes and plan reminders are local notifications: they’re written and scheduled on your phone, not sent from a server. You can turn them off in Outpost’s Settings or in iOS Settings.

When you tap Share, Outpost makes an image of your count and shows it to you first. It only leaves the app if you choose a destination in the iOS share sheet. If a share sheet isn’t available, Outpost can save the card to Photos, which asks for permission to add a photo. Outpost never reads your photo library.

On the Get help screen, Call and Text hand the number to your phone. Outpost doesn’t record that you used them.

5. Purchases: Apple and RevenueCat

Apple processes every purchase, trial, renewal and refund through your Apple Account. We never see your payment details. See Apple’s Privacy Policy.

Outpost uses RevenueCat to check whether a subscription or lifetime purchase is active and to restore purchases. RevenueCat receives an anonymous app user id it creates, your App Store purchase records, and basic technical information such as app version, iOS version, storefront country and IP address. It does not receive your check-ins, notes, spending or any other records. See RevenueCat’s privacy policy.

6. Backups, deletion and moving phones

Your records stay until you erase them. Settings → Erase all data removes your streaks, notes, custom reasons and spending estimate. Deleting the app also removes its data; offloading it keeps it.

If you use iCloud Backup or a computer backup, a copy of Outpost’s data may be included, under Apple’s or your computer’s settings. That’s how your records move to a new iPhone. Outpost doesn’t run its own backup service.

7. This website and the waitlist

This site is served by Cloudflare. To deliver and protect the pages, Cloudflare processes connection information such as your IP address and browser details. See Cloudflare’s privacy policy.

The site sets no cookies of its own, has no analytics or advertising, and loads its fonts from this site rather than a third party. The money calculator runs in your browser and sends nothing.

The waitlist

Joining the waitlist is optional, and it’s separate from the app.

What we keep: your email address, the time you joined, and a record of what you agreed to (the wording of the tick box). We don’t ask for your name, which phone you use, or anything else, and we don’t store your IP address.
Why: to email your personal iPhone launch code, which expires one week after we email it, and to tell you when Outpost launches on iPhone and Android. We don’t use it for anything else, and we never sell it or share it with anyone for their marketing. We rely on your consent, which you give by ticking the box.
Who handles it: Cloudflare stores the list for us in its D1 database, and its Turnstile check makes sure a person, not a bot, is joining. Turnstile loads only when you use the form; see the Turnstile privacy addendum. To stop floods of signups, Cloudflare briefly counts requests from your IP address; we don’t keep it. Cloudflare acts on our instructions and may process data outside the UK under its data processing addendum, which includes the UK’s safeguards for international transfers.
The confirmation: if your address is new, we send one email through Cloudflare Email Sending, from hey@outpostsober.app. A reply to that address reaches us. Joining again with the same address doesn’t send another one.
How long we keep it: until the launch offer ends. Then we delete the list.
Unsubscribe or delete: reply to the confirmation, or email support@outpostsober.app from the address you joined with, and we’ll delete it, within a month at most. The launch emails include an unsubscribe link. You can withdraw your consent at any time.

Being on a sobriety app’s waitlist can say something personal about you, so we treat the list as confidential. Only we can see it, and the form gives the same reply whether or not an address is already on it.

8. Adults only

Outpost and its waitlist are meant for adults. They aren’t directed to children, and we don’t knowingly collect information from children.

9. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal data. Because your Outpost records never reach us, you already hold them: you can view, change or erase them in the app. For the waitlist, you can ask us for a copy of what we hold, to correct it or delete it, or withdraw your consent, by emailing us. For data held by Apple or RevenueCat, contact them or us and we’ll help.

If you’re in the UK and unhappy with how we’ve handled your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office. We’d appreciate the chance to put it right first.

10. Changes and contact

If Outpost’s data practices change, this page will be updated before the change applies, with the date above. Questions about privacy, or requests about your data: support@outpostsober.app.
