Privacy Policy

Last updated: 6 October 2026

This policy explains what ASCENSION does with your data, in plain language. It is written to be understood, not to cover ourselves: if anything here does not match what the app does, that is our mistake and we want to hear about it.

What never leaves your phone

Starting here, because it is what people ask about most:

• The Journal. What you write at night, your mood and the photo of the day stay on your phone. They are not uploaded to any server, not even ours. The trade-off, which we also tell you inside the app: if you change phones, your Journal does not come with you.
• Your answers to the initial questionnaire. What you answer about habits, substance use, sleep, food, mood or gender stays on your phone. All that reaches our servers is a numeric summary — the five axes of your profile and one word for your archetype — which is the only thing the app needs to rebuild your plan if you change phones.
• Anything you dictate by voice. It is transcribed on your own device.

What we store

So that you do not lose your progress and have it on any phone:

• Your account: your email, or your Google or Apple sign-in. You can use the app without an account; in that case there is only an anonymous identifier.
• Your progress: the name you chose, your missions, XP, level, streak, day history, settings, season and workouts.
• Your body measurements, if you ever record them.
• What you write to us through "send feedback".

What other people on ASCENSION can see about you

If you have an account with email, Google or Apple, opening the app publishes your profile, which other people who use ASCENSION with their own account can see. If you use the app without an account, nothing is published.

• Your profile: your name, avatar, frame and title, your country if you chose one, your level, your streak, your season rank and season XP, when you started using the app, how many missions you have done today and the ones from your most recent active days (catalogue missions only, never the ones you create yourself), your five attributes, the medals in your showcase, the language of your app and your invite code. Anyone who finds you can open it: with your code, from friend suggestions, from the public feed or from the leaderboard.
• Friend suggestions: your name, avatar, rank, level and streak appear among the people the app suggests to others.
• The public feed: your milestones — levelling up or ranking up, a streak, an achievement, your first mission, challenge steps and rewards — appear with your name, avatar, rank and country.
• The season leaderboard: if you join the season, your name, avatar, rank, country, XP and streak appear on it. If you leave the season, they are removed.
• Only your friends see all your stamps, including your perfect days, and the streak you share with them.

Private profile. If you turn it on in Settings → Account, only your friends can see your profile. You stop appearing in friend suggestions, the public feed and the leaderboard, and the milestones already on the public feed are removed. Anyone with your invite code can still send you a friend request, but they cannot see your profile until you accept it.

None of this includes your email, your personal missions, your Journal, your photos or your measurements. If you do not want to appear at all, use the app without an account; and if you delete your account, all of this disappears (explained below).

Who we share with, and what each one receives

• Google Firebase (account and storage). Stores your account and your progress. It acts on our behalf and does not use your data for its own purposes.
• Mixpanel (analytics, servers in the European Union). Receives what you do inside the app: when you open it, which screens you pass through and for how long, which step of the questionnaire you stop at, whether you view or dismiss the subscription screen, whether you buy, and your level and streak. Every event carries your account identifier and, if you installed from one of our links, where you came from. We use it to see where people drop off and fix it, and to know which creator brought installs. It does not receive your name, your email, your Journal, your photos or your measurements. From the initial questionnaire it only gets these seven answers: how you heard about us, the family of area you chose, your career stage, your study stage, how confident you feel, whether the plan looks short or long, and the challenge you pick. No others, and any question we add in the future is private by default.
• RevenueCat (subscriptions). Receives your identifier and what the store tells it: what you bought, in which country, whether the subscription is still active and whether it renewed or was cancelled. It exists so we can give you back your premium when you change phones. It also receives the identifier that the Meta SDK creates on your phone, so it can tell Meta about your trials and payments (explained in the next point). On iPhone, and only if you allow tracking, it additionally receives your phone's advertising identifier, the identifier your iPhone assigns to our apps, and your IP address. We send it neither your name, nor your email, nor anything from the questionnaire or the Journal.
• Meta (Facebook and Instagram), to measure our ads. Since version 2.0.12, the app includes the Meta SDK. The SDK tells Meta when you install the app, when you open it and how long you use it, along with technical details about your phone (model, operating system, language, time zone, carrier, IP address and app version) and an identifier it creates on your phone. RevenueCat also lets Meta know when you start a trial and every time you pay, with the amount. This tells us which ad brought in each person, and lets Meta show our ads to people like them. Unlike Firebase, Meta also uses this data for its own purposes, under its own privacy policy. On iPhone, your phone's advertising identifier is only used if you tap "Allow" when the app asks, and you can change that at any time in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking. On Android we do not use the advertising identifier. We do not send Meta your name, your email, your Journal, your photos, your measurements or your questionnaire answers.
• Sentry (crash reports, servers in the European Union). Receives what it takes to fix a crash: your phone model, the OS and app version, where in the code it broke and the last steps you took before it did. Your account identifier is attached, so we can tell whether a bug hits one person or a thousand. It does not receive your name, your email, your Journal, your photos or your IP address: those are stripped from the report before it leaves the phone, and if that stripping ever failed the report is not sent at all. In a small share of sessions it also records what happens on screen — which screens you open and where you tap — so we can see what happened before a bug. In that recording all text and all images are masked: it shows the shape of the screen, not what it says.
• App Store and Google Play handle the payments. We never see your card.

We do not sell your data to anyone. The only thing that reaches an advertiser is what we describe under Meta. Outside this list, we share nothing with anyone.

Deleting your account

From Settings → Delete account. This deletes your account, your progress, your history, your public profile, everything others could see about you (in friend suggestions, the public feed and the leaderboard), your stamps, your friendships and your pending requests. It is irreversible and we cannot recover it afterwards.

So you know exactly what that button does NOT delete: Mixpanel keeps the usage events described above, and RevenueCat and the store keep your subscription history, because tax law requires it to be kept. If you want those gone too, write to us and we will request it on your behalf. Meta keeps whatever it has already received under its own privacy policy.

If you no longer have the app installed, write to us and we will do it for you.

How long we keep it

For as long as you have an account. If you delete it, it is gone. We keep backups on private, access-restricted machines, and they rotate every 14 days, so a backup may outlive your deletion by that long at most.

Your rights

You can ask us for access to your data, for it to be corrected or deleted, or for a copy to take with you. Write to us and we will sort it out. If you believe we have not handled it properly, you can complain to your national data protection authority (in Spain, the Agencia Española de Protección de Datos).
