Searose is a personal productivity app. We take your privacy seriously. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and what controls you have over it.
When you create an account, we collect:
When you use the app, we store the content you create:
This content is stored on secure servers and is only accessible to your account.
The iOS app can read one thing from Apple Health (HealthKit): your daily step count. Nothing else — no heart rate, no workouts, no sleep, no weight, no medical records — and it never writes anything back to Health.
This is off until you turn it on. You are asked only when you set up a Daily steps goal and choose to track it automatically, or when you switch on "Steps from Health" in Settings. If you would rather type the number yourself, nothing is ever read from Health. You can turn it off in Settings at any time, and revoke the permission entirely in iOS Settings › Privacy & Security › Health.
When it is on, the day's step total is sent to your Searose account so it can be shown against your goal, exactly like a number you typed. It is stored with the rest of your goal history and is included in your data export. When Searose composes an answer or a summary with AI, the day's step total can be part of what it reads, alongside your tasks — through the same provider named below, under the same terms. Health data is never used for advertising, never sold, and never shared with anyone else.
The iOS app can remind you about a task when you arrive somewhere — at the office, at a particular shop. This is off until you use it: permission is requested on the Places screen, when you add your first place, never on first launch.
When it is on, the reminders run entirely on your phone using iOS geofences. Your coordinates are never sent to our servers and we never store them. What our servers hold is the name you gave a place — "Home", "the office" — so a reminder can be worded in your own words. We cannot see where that place is, and we do not track your movements or keep any location history.
You can delete a place at any time on the Places screen, and revoke the permission entirely in iOS Settings › Privacy & Security › Location Services.
Searose uses the following third-party services to operate:
Your data is stored on Railway's infrastructure using a persistent volume. Automated backups are performed every 24 hours via Cloudflare to ensure your data is protected against loss.
We retain your data for as long as your account is active. When you delete your account, all associated data (notes, tasks, goals, financial entries, and profile information) is permanently removed from our servers. This action cannot be undone.
We only send you emails that you explicitly request, such as password reset links. We do not send marketing emails, newsletters, or promotional content.
You have full control over your data:
We use a session cookie to keep you logged in, and a cookie recording your timezone so your days start and end at the right time. Your dark/light mode preference is stored in your browser's localStorage and never sent to our servers.
Analytics. Our public marketing pages use PostHog to measure visits. PostHog is never loaded inside the app — once you are signed in, nothing you write is measured or recorded. We do not use session replay.
We take reasonable measures to protect your data:
Searose is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 13.
We may update this policy from time to time. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of Searose after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
