Privacy policy
Last updated
Rooted is a mindset and habit app. What you write in it is personal, so we collect as little as we can, never sell it, and never use it for advertising.
What we collect
- Account details: your email address and, if you add them, your name and profile picture, handled by our sign-in provider.
- What you enter in the app: your why, vision, identity statement, habits, affirmations, daily check-ins (energy, mood, sleep and calm), journal entries, wins, reframes, setback resets and craving notes. If you turn them on, also your weekly weigh-ins and activity log.
- AI coach conversations: the messages you send the coach and its replies, and the AI model you chose.
- Basic usage data: anonymous page views and performance data, without cookies, so we can see which pages are used and fix problems. Our host also keeps short-lived server logs, including IP addresses, for security and debugging.
How we use it
- To run the app: show your entries back to you, track your streaks and progress, and keep your account secure.
- To power the AI coach: when you send a message, it is sent together with a summary of your profile and your last seven days of entries to the AI model you chose, so the reply fits your situation.
- To keep the service working and safe, for example by limiting how many coach messages can be sent each day.
We do not sell your data, share it with advertisers, or use it to target ads.
Who processes your data
We use a small number of service providers to run Rooted. They process data on our behalf to provide their service:
- Clerk for sign-in and account management.
- Neon for the database that stores your entries.
- Vercel for hosting, anonymous analytics, and the AI Gateway that routes coach messages.
- The AI model provider you choose in the coach (currently OpenAI, Mistral, Google or inclusionAI) to generate replies. Coach messages are sent to that provider for processing only.
These providers may store and process data in the United States and other countries.
Health information
Some of what you enter, such as mood, sleep, eating-related notes and optional weigh-ins, may be considered health information. It is private to your account and used only to provide the app to you. Rooted is not a healthcare provider, and the AI coach does not give medical advice.
How long we keep it
We keep your data for as long as you have an account. You can clear your coach conversation at any time with Start fresh in the coach. If you ask us to delete your account, we delete your account and entries within 30 days, apart from anything we must keep by law. Backups are overwritten on a rolling basis.
Your choices and rights
- You can see and edit your entries in the app at any time.
- You can ask for a copy of your data, a correction, or deletion of your account by emailing hello@rootedhabits.app.
- Depending on where you live, you may have further rights, such as objecting to how your data is used or complaining to a data protection authority. We will honour these requests.
Security
Data is encrypted in transit and stored with providers that encrypt data at rest. Access is limited to what is needed to run the service. No system is perfectly secure, so please use a strong, unique password or a sign-in method you trust.
Children
Rooted is for adults aged 18 and over and is not directed at children. If you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we will delete it.
Changes
If we change this policy, we will update the date at the top of this page and, for significant changes, let you know in the app or by email.
