Anxora ("the app", "we", "us") is a habit tracker for body-focused repetitive behaviors such as nail biting, skin picking and hair pulling. This policy explains what data the app handles, how it is stored, and your rights.
Anxora lets you record episodes you log (timestamp, optional triggers, feelings, notes), habit selections, and custom triggers and feelings you create. Mini-game and breathing sessions are not stored in the database — they are transient interactions.
Where this data is stored. When you are signed in to iCloud, Anxora keeps your data in your private iCloud database so it is backed up and synced across your devices. When you are not signed in, Anxora stores everything locally on your device using Apple's SwiftData framework. Either way, Anxora is fully usable offline.
When you're signed in to iCloud, Anxora stores your data in your private iCloud database via Apple's CloudKit. This is on by default and free, so your logs are backed up and kept in sync across your devices. The database is private to your Apple Account — only you can read it. We operate no servers of our own and have no way to access it.
If you are not signed in to iCloud, Anxora automatically stores everything locally on your device. To turn sync off, disable iCloud for Anxora in iOS Settings → [Your Name] → iCloud → Anxora; your existing data then remains on-device. Your data in iCloud is processed by Apple under Apple's own privacy terms.
If you enable HealthKit integration in Settings, Anxora reads heart rate variability and sleep data via Apple HealthKit. This is used only inside the app, to overlay your patterns with HRV and sleep on the Analytics screen.
If you use the companion Apple Watch app, episodes logged on the Watch are synced to the iPhone app via Apple's WatchConnectivity framework. This sync happens locally between your paired devices and does not pass through our servers.
Anxora offers an optional App Lock, unlocked with the "Full access" in-app purchase, that requires Face ID, Touch ID or your device passcode to open the app. Authentication is handled by Apple's on-device frameworks — Anxora never receives your biometric data or passcode, and enabling App Lock does not change where or how your habit data is stored.
Anxora uses Firebase Analytics, provided by Google, to collect anonymous usage statistics that help us understand how the app is used and improve it.
We do not link analytics events to your identity, and we do not sell or share this data with advertising networks.
If a crash occurs, Apple may send us a diagnostic report — only if you have agreed to share diagnostic data in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Analytics & Improvements → Share With App Developers. These reports do not contain your habit log data.
Anxora offers a single optional in-app purchase, "Full access", that unlocks tracking more than one habit and App Lock. It does not affect iCloud sync, which is free and available to everyone.
There is nothing for us to delete on a server, because we do not have one.
Anxora is rated 4+ but is intended for general audiences. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13.
Everything above is about the app. This section covers the website you're reading now.
No cookies, no consent banner. The website sets no cookies and stores nothing in your browser's local storage, so there is nothing to accept or decline.
Visitor statistics. We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count visits. It records the page you open, the site you came from, your browser and device type, and your country. Cloudflare uses your IP address only to work out the country and, according to Cloudflare, does not store it. It does not fingerprint you, build a profile of you, or follow you to other websites. We only ever see totals, never an individual visitor.
Hosting. The site is hosted by Netlify, which, like any web host, processes your IP address to deliver the pages and may keep it in short-lived server logs for security.
Content loaded from other services. To display the pages, your browser also fetches fonts from Google Fonts, interface code from unpkg.com and the App Store badge from apple.com. Those requests reveal your IP address to those providers, as any web request does.
App Store links. Download buttons carry a campaign tag that names the page the link sits on (for example "web-skin-picking"). Apple uses it to show us how many installs came from each page — as totals only. The tag contains nothing about you.
Legal basis (EU/UK). We process this data on the basis of our legitimate interest in running the website and understanding which pages are useful, without identifying anyone. You can object at any time by writing to support@anxora.app, or block it entirely with a content blocker — the site works the same either way.
We may update this policy if the app's or the website's behavior changes. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above.
