Is Anticipate app private and secure?
Yes.
Anticipate is a mental health app designed from the ground up to ensure your personal information stays private, secure, and under your control.
Privacy and security are core values for our team — shaped by years of experience managing sensitive data in health apps, products for underage users, and financial technology. We’re committed to protecting your data, always.
Your privacy is achieved through several key features:
- Local-First Storage: All your personal data, including health metrics and journal entries, is stored exclusively on your device. We do not store it on our servers, which means we cannot access it.
- Anonymous by Design: Anticipate does not require an email, name, or other personally identifiable information to function. Your account is not tied to your real-world identity.
- Biometric Security: You can add an extra layer of security by enabling Face ID or a passcode lock, ensuring that only you can open the app and view your information.
- Granular Permissions: You have full control over what data sources the app can access. You can grant or revoke permissions for Apple Health, device motion, and location services at any time.
- Data controls in Settings: You can manage your data anytime in Profile > Manage your data, including deleting anything you don’t want to keep.
- Zero data retention (AI): We use Gemini as our AI provider with a zero data retention policy — your data used for AI insights isn’t stored or used for training.
