Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 8, 2026

I'm Logan, the solo developer behind Drifta. Privacy on Drifta is short and almost boring on purpose. Here is what actually happens.

What stays on your phone

• The primary copy of every task you create, including its title, notes, time window, and history.
• Your settings: quiet hours, reminder style, focus timer preferences, theme, streaks.
• Any crash logs Drifta writes for its own debugging. They never get sent anywhere unless you tap "Copy raw JSON" in Settings yourself.

Drifta does not include an analytics SDK. There is no Mixpanel, Amplitude, Firebase Analytics, Segment, advertising identifier, or internal behavioral event ping. The optional network features below transmit only the data needed to provide the feature you choose.

What can leave your phone

Drifta coach

When you tap Coach and send a message, the app sends three things to our backend at brightprompt-hub.onrender.com:

• Your message.
• The titles and completion state of your current tasks, so the coach can give useful suggestions.
• A random per-device identifier so we can rate-limit coach usage. This is not linked to your name, email, or Apple ID.

Our backend forwards the prompt to Anthropic's Claude API and streams the reply back. Our backend does not persist chat content after returning the response. Under Anthropic's standard API policy, inputs and outputs are automatically deleted from Anthropic's backend within 30 days, subject to its stated safety, legal, and account-specific exceptions. Anthropic says commercial API inputs and outputs are not used to train its models by default. Drifta does not sell this data.

Server push backstop (optional)

If you allow notifications, Drifta may register a random device identifier and Apple Push Notification service token with our backend so a configured deadline reminder can still reach the device. For tasks using that backstop, the backend receives the task title and delivery time needed to build the notification. Apple processes the device token and notification payload to deliver the push. Declining notifications prevents this registration.

If you do not use Coach, enable text reminders, or allow the server push backstop, your task content stays on your phone.

Subscriptions

Drifta Pro is sold through Apple's in-app purchase. Apple handles the receipt and the money. Drifta never sees your payment info. We do not have your name, email, or address unless you write to support yourself.

Notifications

Drifta uses local notifications scheduled on your device for the default reminder experience. If you grant notification permission, Drifta can also use the optional server push backstop described above for configured deadlines. Notification permission is requested only after you add a task or choose Allow Notifications in Settings.

SMS reminders (optional, opt-in)

Drifta Pro also offers an optional SMS feature for overdue tasks with deadlines. SMS is off by default. To turn it on, you install the Drifta iOS app, open Settings, go to the SMS Reminders section, complete a phone verification step where a one-time code is texted to your phone, then turn on the “SMS Reminders” toggle. You must select “Agree & enable” before any SMS is sent. The toggle is off until you switch it on yourself.

Consent disclosure shown in the app, verbatim: “By enabling SMS Reminders, you agree to receive recurring automated reminder text messages from Drifta at the phone number on your account. Consent is not a condition of any purchase. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to unsubscribe at any time, or HELP for help.”

What gets sent when SMS is on:

• Your phone number is sent to Twilio, our SMS gateway, so it can deliver the message.
• The text of the reminder, generated from the task title and time you set. Reminders are short, 1 to 2 sentences.

What does not get sent: your other tasks, your notes, your settings, your AI coach chats, any identifier beyond the phone number you verified.

Twilio is a third party processor. Twilio's privacy notice is at twilio.com/legal/privacy. We send Twilio the minimum needed to deliver the message: your phone number, the message body, and a status callback URL on our backend so we can record whether the message was delivered.

Your phone number is stored on our backend at brightprompt-hub.onrender.com only while the SMS feature is on, plus a short retention window for delivery receipts. Reply STOP to any Drifta SMS to immediately revoke consent and stop all future messages. You can also turn the toggle off in Settings, which has the same effect. See SMS reminders for the complete program description.

SMS opt-in data and consent are not shared with any third party for marketing purposes. No mobile information is sold, rented, or shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. The only party that receives your phone number is Twilio, our messaging provider, and only so it can deliver the message you asked for. Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent are never shared with anyone else for any reason.

Reply HELP to any Drifta SMS to get a one-message reply with support contact info. The reply does not subscribe you to anything.

Children

Drifta is a general-audience productivity app and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly use children's data for advertising, profiling, or data sales. Coach, server push, and SMS can transmit data as described above, so a parent or guardian should decide whether those optional features are appropriate. A parent or guardian can contact support@drifta.app to ask about deletion of data held by our backend.

What you can do

• Delete every task at once in Settings.
• Delete the app to wipe all on-device data.
• Email support@drifta.app with any privacy question and you will get a reply from me directly.

Changes

If anything material changes about how data is handled, this page gets updated and the in-app About row tells you. The current effective version is the date at the top.
