Privacy Policy
Effective July 24, 2026 · Updated October 13, 2026
Who we are
Unpouched ("we", "us") is an iOS app that helps you quit nicotine pouches. This policy describes what the app does — and deliberately doesn't do — with your information, and what this website collects. Questions: support@getunpouched.com.
What the app stores — and where
Everything you enter or generate in Unpouched is stored locally on your device, in the app's own database (and a shared container so the home-screen widget can read the same data). That includes:
- Your onboarding answers (usage habits, cost baseline, quit reasons, craving windows)
- Your taper plan, pouch logs, slips, and craving SOS sessions
- Streaks, savings math, and milestone history
None of this is uploaded to us. We do not operate a server that receives your quit data, and there is no account to create.
What we don't do
- No tracking or advertising SDKs. The current version of the app contains no third-party analytics, ad networks, or fingerprinting.
- No sale or sharing of personal data. Ever. We consider quit-nicotine data sensitive, and the safest data is data that never leaves your phone.
- No contact scraping, no location tracking, no background data collection.
If a future version adds privacy-preserving diagnostics (for example, anonymous crash reports), we will update this policy first and describe exactly what is collected.
Notifications
Reminders (danger-window nudges, taper steps, milestones) are local notifications scheduled on your device. They are optional, controlled in the app and iOS Settings, and no notification content passes through our servers.
Purchases
Subscriptions and one-time purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store. We never see your payment details. Apple provides us no personally identifying billing information. Apple's own privacy policy governs the transaction; manage or cancel subscriptions in your Apple ID settings.
Health-related estimates
The app shows estimated recovery timelines and projected savings. These are estimates based on published research, generated on-device from your inputs. They are not medical advice and are not shared with anyone.
Your data, your controls
- Export: you can export your data as a JSON file from the app's settings, free.
- Delete: deleting the app deletes your data. There is no server-side copy to chase down.
This website
getunpouched.com uses PostHog (EU Cloud, hosted in Frankfurt) to understand which pages people read and whether they go on to the App Store. When you visit, PostHog records:
- The pages you view, the site that referred you, and the links and buttons you click
- Your browser, device type, and approximate location (country and city, derived from your IP address)
- A random ID stored in a first-party cookie, so repeat visits count as one visitor
We don't record your screen or session, don't ask for your name or email, and don't use the data for advertising. Website analytics are separate from the app: nothing you do on this site is linked to your quit data, which never leaves your phone. Our basis for this is legitimate interest in knowing whether the site is useful. You can block it by refusing cookies in your browser or using a content blocker, and the site works the same either way. To ask about or delete website analytics data, email support@getunpouched.com.
Age
Unpouched is rated 17+ and is intended for adults quitting nicotine. It is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone — that's the point.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, the new version will be posted here with a new effective date. Material changes will be called out in the app.
