Averted
Effective 23 August 2026
Averted collects nothing. Not anonymously, not in aggregate, not for analytics. There is no account to create and no data to leak.
Nothing. Averted contains no analytics, no advertising, no crash reporting, no third-party SDKs, and no networking code of any kind. The app never sends information anywhere, because it has no means to.
Averted stores two things, both only on your device:
These are written to your device's local app storage. They are never transmitted, never backed up to us, and never seen by anyone but you. If your device backs itself up to iCloud or a computer, that backup is between you and Apple; we have no part in it and no access to it.
Deleting the app deletes everything it stored. There is no copy anywhere else, and no way for us to recover it — which is the point.
Nothing about you personally. If you download the app, Apple gives us anonymous, aggregate figures — download counts and crash reports you have opted into sharing with Apple. That is standard for every App Store app, it comes from Apple rather than from Averted, and it cannot identify you.
What you write in the journal is sensitive. It stays on your device precisely for that reason. Averted does not use Apple HealthKit, does not read or write health data, and does not share anything with health providers, insurers, employers, or anyone else.
Averted is not directed at children under 13 and collects no information from anyone, of any age.
If this policy ever changes, the revised version will appear on this page with a new effective date. Since the app collects nothing, any change would be about clarity rather than about new data collection — and if that ever stopped being true, it would be said plainly here first.
