Privacy, plainly.
Dewlight is built to keep your inner life yours. Here is exactly what that means, in plain language and without the legalese.
The app
Dewlight works entirely on your iPhone. There are no accounts, no sign-up, and no servers of ours. The values you choose, the affirmations you pin, and any notes you write stay on your device. They are never sent to us and we cannot see them.
If you use iCloud, Apple may sync an encrypted copy of your data across your own devices so it’s there when you switch phones. That happens inside your private Apple account, under Apple’s privacy policy. We are never part of it.
This website
To understand how the site is used and where it can be better, we use PostHog, a privacy-friendly analytics tool. It records anonymous events such as which pages are viewed, which buttons are clicked, and which FAQ questions are opened.
We have configured it to stay anonymous by design. PostHog never builds a personal profile of you, and we never collect your name or email through it. Your data is processed on EU-based servers, with PostHog acting as our data processor.
It runs without cookies. We store nothing on your device, so there are no tracking cookies and no consent banner to wade through. If your browser sends a “Do Not Track” signal, we honour it and collect nothing at all.
Under the UK GDPR, our lawful basis is legitimate interest: understanding and improving a tiny website using minimal, anonymous data, balanced carefully against your privacy. We keep this data only as long as it’s useful and never sell it or share it for advertising.
Your rights
Because the app holds no personal data on our side and the website’s analytics are anonymous, there is usually nothing personal about you for us to look up. Even so, under data protection law you have the right to access, correct, or erase any personal data we hold, and to object to our processing. Just get in touch and we’ll help.
If you’re in the UK or EU and feel we haven’t handled your data properly, you can also complain to your local data protection authority. In the UK, that’s the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).
Changes
If this notice changes, we’ll update the date below.
