Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 13, 2026
The short version: Meowve has no server. We collect no personal data anywhere. Your sessions, breaks and streaks live on your device and sync only through your own private iCloud — which we cannot read. Step data is used on-device to verify walks and is never uploaded. No analytics, no ads, no tracking.
1. Who we are
Meowve is developed by webkoding ("we", "us"). The app and its mascot, Miso the cat, help you take regular movement breaks. Contact: [email protected].
2. Our core principle: no server, no collection
Meowve does not operate any backend server that stores your information. We never receive, see, or hold a copy of your data. Everything Meowve knows about you stays on your Apple devices and in your personal iCloud account.
3. Data stored on your device
- Session & break data — focus sessions, break records and streaks are stored on your device using Apple's SwiftData.
- Preferences — timer length, cat skin, sounds and notification settings are stored locally.
- Subscription status — read directly from Apple's StoreKit on your device; we keep no separate record of your purchases.
4. Private iCloud sync (CloudKit)
If iCloud is enabled, your active session state and history sync between your devices through your own private iCloud (CloudKit) database. This is what lets Miso "follow you" from Mac to iPhone. Data in your private iCloud is controlled by your Apple ID and governed by Apple's Privacy Policy. The developer has no access to it.
5. Motion & step data
To verify that you actually took a walk, Meowve reads step counts from CoreMotion and, on Apple Watch, a short HealthKit workout session. This data is processed locally on your device solely to confirm a break and is never uploaded to us or any third party. We do not store your health or motion history on any server.
6. Notifications
Break reminders and "back to work" nudges are scheduled and delivered locally on your device (including Apple Watch haptics). You can disable them anytime in your device Settings.
7. Purchases
Subscriptions are processed entirely by Apple through the App Store. Meowve uses Apple's StoreKit and does not receive your payment details. We use no third-party purchase or attribution SDK.
8. What we don't do
- No analytics or advertising SDKs
- No third-party trackers, fingerprinting or ad identifiers
- No selling, sharing or profiling of personal data
- No reading of your synced iCloud content
9. Data location
Your data resides on your own Apple devices and, if enabled, in Apple's iCloud infrastructure tied to your Apple ID. Because we run no server, no data is stored or transmitted to webkoding.
10. Your rights (GDPR / KVKK / CCPA)
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete or port your personal data. Since your data lives only on your devices and in your iCloud, these controls are already in your hands: delete the app's data in Settings, or remove iCloud data via Settings → Apple ID → iCloud. For any questions, email us and we'll respond within 30 days. Under Türkiye's KVKK and the EU GDPR, you may also lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
11. Data deletion
Deleting Meowve from your device removes its local data. To remove synced data, open Settings → Apple ID → iCloud → Manage Storage and delete Meowve's data. Because there is no server copy, deleting on your devices is the deletion.
12. Children
Meowve is not directed at children under 13 (or the minimum age in your region) and we do not knowingly collect their data. Since we collect no data at all, no children's data reaches us.
13. Changes
We'll post any changes to this policy on this page and update the date above. Material changes will be highlighted in the app.
