Founder's Climb

Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 5, 2026  ·  Publisher: Aspen Apps, LLC.  ·  Contact: support@aspenapps.us

Founder's Climb is a private journaling app. Your journal entries are stored on your device. We do not require an account, and we do not sell your data. If you subscribe to Pro and choose to have an entry analyzed, the text of that entry is sent to our AI processing provider to generate your reflection, and then returned to you. That is the only time your entry content leaves your device.

Information the app stores on your device

The following stays on your device and is not sent to us unless described below:

You can remove this data by deleting the app.

Information sent for AI features (Pro)

The app has a free tier and a paid Pro tier.

Free tier

Reflections are generated on your device using a built-in method. Your entry text is not transmitted for free-tier reflections.

Pro tier

When you save an entry for AI analysis, or generate an AI progress report, the relevant entry text is sent over an encrypted connection to our backend and then to our AI processing provider, Anthropic, to generate the result. The result is returned to you and stored on your device.

We instruct our provider to process this text only to produce your result. Under Anthropic's commercial terms, inputs and outputs from the API are not used to train models. See Anthropic's privacy policy and commercial terms for detail. We do not attach your name or contact information to the entry text sent for analysis.

Information we do not collect

Payments

Subscriptions are sold and processed by Apple through the App Store. We do not receive or store your payment card details. Apple's handling of that information is governed by Apple's privacy policy.

Analytics and diagnostics

The app does not collect analytics or usage tracking.

Notifications

If you turn on the daily reminder, the app schedules a local notification on your device at the time you choose. This is handled on the device and is not sent to us.

Children

Founder's Climb is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
