Privacy / Hindsight — Decision Journal

Hindsight — Decision Journal privacy policy

Draft updated July 29, 2026

The short version

Hindsight is a private, on-device decision journal. Version 1.0 has no account, backend, cloud sync, developer telemetry, advertising, or third-party analytics. Your forecasts, confidence, reflections, and Insights stay on your device, and the developer cannot see them.

Information stored on your device

Hindsight stores the content you create so the app can work: forecast or decision statements, your chosen 0-100% confidence, optional reasoning, categories, options, and notes, creation and review dates, recorded outcomes and reflections, and derived on-device calibration results. It also stores local drafts and preferences such as onboarding completion, appearance, reminder choices, and haptic settings.

On-device Insights

Calibration and other Insights - observed outcome rate, average stated confidence, calibration gap, confidence bands, and Brier score - are calculated locally from eligible records. They are never uploaded or used for advertising, profiling, or developer analytics.

Notifications

If you enable review reminders, Hindsight schedules local notifications through iOS. Reminder text is generic and never includes your forecast or journal content. You can deny or revoke permission in iOS Settings. Hindsight does not use a remote push-notification server.

Exporting and deletion

You can export your journal as JSON or PDF; files are created locally and go only to the destination you pick in the iOS share sheet. Example records are kept separate from personal records and are excluded from your personal export. You can delete individual records or clear Hindsight data inside the app, and deleting the app removes its local data from the device, subject to Apple's device and backup behavior.

Children

Hindsight is a judgment tool designed for adults and is not directed to children under 13.

Changes

This policy will be reviewed and updated before Hindsight introduces any account, server, synchronization, telemetry, social feature, or other remote data practice.
