Feal is built so that the most personal thing about it — what you feel, and the words you give it — never leaves your phone.
Your entries stay on your device
Every emotion you log, along with any note you write, is stored locally on your device using Apple's on-device database. These entries are not uploaded to a server, not synced to an account, and not sold or shared. If you delete the app, that data is removed with it.
Anonymous usage only
To understand whether the app is being used and which parts are working, Feal sends anonymous usage signals through TelemetryDeck, a privacy-focused analytics service. These signals describe actions in the app, not their content.
What is collected
- When an entry is created: the emotion (for example, Anger), its intensity, the finer subcategory if one was chosen, and whether a note was written — a simple yes or no.
- When an entry is edited or deleted, and which part changed.
- Which section of the app you're viewing, and how many entries are in a Reflect view.
- Standard technical details the analytics service attaches automatically: app version, operating system and device model, and language or broad region. Your identifier is an irreversible, salted hash — it cannot be traced back to you.
What is never collected
- The text of your notes. Only whether a note exists is recorded — never a single word of it.
- Your name, email, or any personal identifier.
- The advertising identifier (IDFA), or precise location.
No account, no ads
Feal has no sign-up and no login — there is no account to create. It shows no ads, and it does not use your data to target advertising anywhere.
