Burrow collects nothing about you. Not your name, not an email address, not an advertising identifier, not analytics, not crash reports. This is not a promise about how carefully data is handled — there is no server to send it to.
What Burrow stores, and where
Your journal entries, voice notes, check-ins, intentions, preferences and the record of which days you have opened the app are written to your device's own private storage. They stay on that device. They are not uploaded, backed up to us, or shared with anyone, because there is nowhere for them to go.
Permissions
- Microphone — only while you are recording a voice note, and only if you allow it. Recordings are saved to your device and never transmitted. Nothing is transcribed and nothing is sent for processing.
- Notifications — only if you turn on heart check-ins. Notifications are scheduled locally on your phone; Burrow has no push server and no push token.
- Heart rate — only if you explicitly turn on heart check-ins, and only the heart-rate figure itself. It is read on the device, compared against your own resting rate on the device, and never stored anywhere but the device. Nothing else in Health is read.
Third parties
There are none. Burrow contains no analytics SDK, no advertising SDK, no crash reporter and no social login. Nothing about your use of the app reaches us or anyone else.
Children
Burrow is not directed at children under 13. Since it collects no personal information from anyone, it collects none from children either.
Your rights
Rights under the UK GDPR and similar laws — access, correction, erasure, portability — apply to data a company holds about you. We hold none. You can erase everything Burrow has stored at any time fromSettings → Erase everything, or by deleting the app.
Deleting your data
Settings → Erase everything removes your journal, check-ins, preferences and history from the device permanently. There is no undo, and no copy anywhere else. Deleting the app removes everything too.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version appears here with a new date. Since the app collects nothing, any change is likely to be a clarification rather than a new use of data.
