Short and plain. What Uphill keeps, what it never sees, and how Pro works.

Privacy policy

Last updated November 15, 2026

Who is responsible

Uphill is published by Romain Delatte, an independent developer based in Belgium, who is the controller of the data described here. Questions about your data, or any request: contact@getuphill.app.

What stays on your phone

Uphill has no account and no sign-in. Everything you set or write in the app is stored on your device:

  • your answers during onboarding (goals, what holds you back),
  • the days you log, your streak and your best streak,
  • your favorite lines, the lines you have read, your categories and theme,
  • the lines you write yourself,
  • your reminder, widget and share settings.

Deleting the app deletes it. Some of these choices also appear in the usage data described below, unless you turn it off. The text of the lines you write never leaves your phone.

Reminders and widgets

Reminders are local notifications scheduled by your phone, and widgets are drawn by your phone. No server sends them and nothing about them leaves your device. You can turn reminders off in the app or in Android settings.

Sharing

When you share a line, the app makes the image on your phone and hands it to the app you pick. We are not part of that exchange.

Usage data and crash reports

To see which parts of the app are used and to fix what breaks, the app sends usage events and error reports to PostHog, on its servers in the European Union (Frankfurt). They are tied to a random identifier created on your phone, never to your name, email or Google account.

  • your onboarding answers (goals, what holds you back, reminder settings),
  • what you do in the app: screens opened, onboarding steps, the Pro screen and purchases started, days logged, lines saved or shared (by their number, never the text you write), settings changed,
  • whether you have Pro, your theme and your current streak,
  • the app version, the phone model, Android version, language and approximate country,
  • errors and crashes, with the technical details needed to fix them.

Your IP address is used only to estimate the country and is not stored. There are no ads, no advertising identifier and no screen recording. These data are kept for no longer than 12 months.

You can turn this off at any time in the app: Profile, Privacy, Share usage data. Nothing is sent from then on, errors included.

Purchases

Uphill Pro is sold through Google Play. Google handles the payment; we never see your card or bank details. To know whether Pro is active, the app checks your purchase with RevenueCat, our subscription provider, using an anonymous identifier. RevenueCat receives your purchase details from Google Play (plan, price, country, dates of the trial, renewals and cancellation), the app version and phone model, and the random usage identifier above, so a subscription can be counted in our usage data. These data are kept while you are a subscriber, then as long as accounting and tax law require.

Why we use these data

  • Purchase data: to give you the Pro you paid for (the performance of the contract).
  • Usage data and crash reports: to keep the app working and make it better (our legitimate interest). You can object at any time with the switch above.
  • Accounting records: to meet our legal obligations.

We do not sell your data, and we do not use it for advertising.

Who else handles them

  • PostHog: usage data and crash reports, hosted in the EU.
  • RevenueCat: subscriptions, based in the United States.
  • Google: Google Play, payments and the download of the app.
  • Vercel: hosting of this website, based in the United States.

When data goes to a provider outside the European Union, it is protected by the safeguards the GDPR requires: the European Commission's standard contractual clauses or the EU–US Data Privacy Framework.

This website

This site sets no cookies and loads no trackers. Its fonts are served from the site itself. Like any web host, Vercel records technical logs of visits (IP address, browser, page) to run and protect the site, and keeps them for a short time.

Your rights

Under the GDPR you can ask to access, correct or erase data about you, to restrict or object to its use, and to receive it in a portable form. Write to contact@getuphill.app. Because the app has no account, we may ask for your purchase order number (from Google Play) to find what concerns you. Data on your phone is erased by deleting the app.

If you think your data is mishandled, you can complain to the Belgian Data Protection Authority (dataprotectionauthority.be) or to the authority of the country where you live.

Children

Uphill is not directed at children under 13.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version is published on this page with a new date.
