Privacy Policy – Lucidist

You.

Last Updated: June 17, 2025

Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how Lucidist („we“, „our“, or „the app“) handles your personal information. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring you have a positive experience using our addiction recovery tracking application.

Information We Collect

Data You Provide

When you use Lucidist, you may choose to enter the following information:

  • Names of addictions you wish to track
  • Recovery start dates and clean start dates
  • Event logs including cravings and relapses with timestamps
  • Personal notes and reflections
  • Intensity ratings for cravings
  • Custom images from your photo library or generated through AI

How Your Data is Stored

All information you enter into Lucidist is stored locally on your iOS device using Apple’s SwiftData framework. This means your personal recovery data remains under your direct control.

No External Communication

Lucidist does not communicate with any external servers or services. The app operates entirely on your device without requiring an internet connection. The only exception is when you explicitly enable iCloud synchronization in the app settings, which uses Apple’s secure infrastructure to sync data between your own devices.

iCloud Synchronization

Optional Cloud Sync

Lucidist offers optional iCloud synchronization that you can enable in the app settings. When enabled:

  • Your data is synchronized across all your Apple devices signed into the same Apple ID
  • Data is encrypted and transmitted securely through Apple’s iCloud service
  • Synchronization happens automatically in the background
  • You can disable this feature at any time through the app settings

Data Security with iCloud

When iCloud sync is enabled, your data benefits from Apple’s security measures including:

  • End-to-end encryption for sensitive data
  • Secure authentication through your Apple ID
  • Data redundancy across Apple’s secure data centers

Photo Library Access

Lucidist uses Apple’s PhotosPicker API, which means the app never has direct access to your photo library. When you choose to add a custom image, iOS presents a system interface where you select the specific photo you want to use. Only the photo you explicitly select is shared with the app. This approach ensures:

  • The app cannot browse or scan your photo library
  • Only the single photo you choose is transferred to the app
  • Selected images are stored locally within the app’s sandbox
  • No photo data ever leaves your device

AI Image Generation

Lucidist integrates with Apple’s Image Playground service for AI-generated images. When you use this feature:

  • Image generation requests are processed through Apple’s on-device AI services
  • Generated images are stored locally within the app
  • No image data or prompts are sent to third-party services

What We Don’t Do

Lucidist is designed with privacy as a core principle. We do not:

  • Collect analytics or usage statistics
  • Track your behavior or app usage patterns
  • Share your data with third parties
  • Display advertisements
  • Require account creation or registration
  • Access your data for any purpose

Data Retention and Deletion

Your data remains on your device(s) for as long as you have the app installed. To delete all your data:

  • Uninstall the app from your device(s)
  • If iCloud sync was enabled, data will be removed from iCloud after uninstalling from all devices

You can also delete individual addictions and events directly within the app at any time.

Children’s Privacy

Lucidist does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years of age. The app is intended for users who can legally consent to data collection in their jurisdiction.

Your Rights

You have complete control over your data in Lucidist:

  • Access: View all your data directly in the app
  • Modification: Edit or update any information at any time
  • Deletion: Remove individual items or all data
  • Portability: Your data remains on your devices

Applicable Data Protection Laws

Lucidist complies with the following data protection regulations:

  • EU (GDPR): Processing based on your explicit consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).
  • California (CCPA/CPRA): Rights include access, correction, deletion, and opting out of the sale of personal data (no sale occurs).
  • Brazil (LGPD): Processing based on consent, providing similar rights as GDPR.
  • Canada (PIPEDA): Consent-based processing with the right to access and delete your data.
  • Other Jurisdictions: Compliance with local privacy regulations applicable to you.

Complaint and Oversight

You have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority if you believe your privacy rights have been violated.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally. Updates will be indicated by the revised „Last Updated“ date at the top. Continued use after changes indicates acceptance.
