Launch Control — Privacy Policy
Launch Control is an iOS app that helps you plan your morning and get out the door on time. It is built so that your personal routine stays on your device. This page explains, plainly, what the app does and does not collect.
Your morning data stays on your device
Everything you create in the app — your mornings, steps, names, time estimates, measured durations, wake and leave times, launch kits, and session history — is stored in a local database on your iPhone. It is never uploaded to us or to anyone else. There are no accounts and no cloud sync. If you delete the app, that data is deleted with it.
Anonymous usage analytics
To understand whether the app works — for example, how many people complete onboarding or finish a morning on time — we use TelemetryDeck, a privacy-focused analytics service. What is sent is deliberately content-free:
- A fixed set of event names (such as “morning armed” or “paywall shown”) with a small set of closed values like a step position number or a yes/no flag.
- A random install identifier, generated on your device and hashed (SHA-256) before it is sent. It is not your name, email, device identifier, or advertising ID, and it cannot be traced back to you.
The content of your routine — step names, titles, times, durations, locations — never leaves your device as part of analytics. No prices, payment details, or personal identifiers are included either.
Location (optional)
You can optionally let Launch Control verify that you actually left home, using a geofence around a location you choose. This works entirely on your device: the app only reacts to the moment you exit the region. Coordinates are not stored in your morning history and are never transmitted anywhere. If you decline location access, the app works fully with manual departure confirmation instead.
Notifications and alarms
Alarms, wake-up handoffs, and reminders (such as the notice before a free trial ends) are scheduled locally on your device through Apple’s system frameworks. No notification content is sent to us.
Subscriptions
Membership is purchased through Apple’s App Store. Apple processes the payment; we never see your payment details. Apple’s handling of that data is covered by Apple’s Privacy Policy. The app records only whether a valid membership exists, and analytics record only the chosen plan (yearly or weekly) and whether it started as a free trial — never prices or transaction details.
Who receives data
Only two parties are involved: Apple (App Store purchases and system services) and TelemetryDeck (the anonymous, content-free analytics described above). We do not sell data, run third-party ads, or share data with anyone else.
Your choices
- Location access is optional and can be changed anytime in iOS Settings.
- Notification permission is optional and can be changed anytime in iOS Settings.
- Deleting the app deletes all of your morning data, because it only ever existed on your device.
Because the analytics identifier is random and hashed, we cannot link analytics events to you, and therefore cannot look up or export data about a specific person — there is nothing identifying to find.
Children
Launch Control is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone.
Changes to this policy
If the app’s data practices change, this page will be updated and the effective date above revised. Material changes will also be noted in the app’s release notes.
