Last updated October 26, 2026. This covers the Perception of Life phone app, made by Perception of Life LLC.
The app doesn’t ask for your name, email, or phone number, and there’s no account to make. Everything you put in it stays in the app’s storage on your phone: your clean date, your relapse prevention plan and the people on it, your 10th step answers, God Shots, saved cards and quotes, and anything else you write. We never see it, and it isn’t sent anywhere.
To stay current without a store update, the app downloads a few things over the internet: the list of journals and short app messages from perception-of-life.com, and app fixes from our update service (Expo). These are ordinary downloads. Nothing you wrote is sent with them. Like any website visit, the servers that answer them see basic technical details such as your IP address and the app version, and the update service receives a random install number that isn’t connected to who you are.
Buying a membership happens through Google Play. Google handles the payment, and we never see your card or bank details. We use RevenueCat to confirm memberships: it receives a random member ID created by the app and your purchase record (what you bought, when, and whether it’s active), so the app can unlock and so you can restore a membership on a new phone. See the Google privacy policy and the RevenueCat privacy policy. You can cancel any time in Google Play under Payments and subscriptions.
The morning quote, evening question, and milestone notifications are scheduled by your phone itself. No notification service or server is involved. If you turn on the app lock, your phone’s own fingerprint, face, PIN, or pattern unlocks it; the app only learns whether it unlocked, never your fingerprint or face. When you share a card, quote, reading, or milestone, it goes through your phone’s share menu to whoever you choose. We don’t see it.
A backup is a file made on your phone, saved wherever you choose. If the app ever closes unexpectedly, a short technical note about why is kept on your phone. It’s only sent if you choose to email it to us, and it never includes anything you wrote.
The app has no ads, no analytics, and no tracking across other apps or websites. We don’t sell or share data about you, because we don’t collect it in the first place.
Uninstalling the app, or clearing its data in your phone’s settings, deletes everything it stored. To have a membership record removed from RevenueCat, email us with the member ID from the app’s Membership screen (Copy my member ID).
The app is meant for adults. It isn’t directed at children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect information from children. It is self-help. It isn’t therapy, treatment, or medical advice, and it isn’t for emergencies.
If the app ever starts handling information differently, this page will change first, with a new date at the top. Questions or requests: support@perception-of-life.com. Perception of Life LLC, 9340 E Rancho Vista Dr, Prescott Valley, AZ 86314.
