Limiter collects no consumer health data. This document exists to say precisely what that means, because the law requires the statement to be specific rather than reassuring.
Under these laws, information that identifies your past, present or future physical or mental health status is consumer health data. In a recovery app that would include what you are recovering from, when you lapsed, what you wrote about it, and any of it linked to you.
| Category | Collected by OB DATA LLC |
|---|---|
| What you are working on (gambling, alcohol, other) | No. Stored on your device and in your own iCloud account. |
| Journal entries, lapse notes, urge notes, mood, symptoms | No. Local-only. No cloud mirror exists for these records. |
| Your reasons, your named support person | No. Local-only. |
| Financial disclosure list | No. Local-only. |
| The hours of day your pattern covers | No. Local-only. |
| Counter, run history, milestone dates | No. Your own iCloud account, which we cannot read. |
| Precise or approximate location | No. Read on device, compared locally, discarded. Never transmitted. |
| Biometric identifiers | No. The optional app lock uses Apple's system authentication; we never see a biometric. |
Not by policy. Free-text records are registered in a database configuration that has no cloud container attached, so there is no destination for them to be uploaded to. This was verified on real hardware, not by reading the code: a marker string written into four free-text fields appeared in the local store and in none of the cloud-synced tables.
When you reach a milestone, the app increments a shared counter of how many people reached that milestone in that week and reads the total back. The record contains a count and nothing else. Two different people reaching the same milestone in the same week produce a byte-identical record. Totals under fifty are never displayed.
We consider this not to be consumer health data because it is not linked and not reasonably linkable to you: there is no identifier in the record, no field to put one in, and no other data of ours to join it against. We describe it here anyway rather than leaving you to discover it.
We do not sell consumer health data. We never have and there is no mechanism in this product to do so. We do not share it with advertisers, data brokers, analytics providers or anyone else. There are no third-party SDKs in the app other than Apple's own.
No employee or contractor of OB DATA LLC can access your health data, because it is not in any system we operate.
Washington, Nevada and Connecticut residents have the right to know what consumer health data is collected, to access it, to withdraw consent, and to have it deleted. Because we hold none:
To exercise any of these, or if a request is refused: privacy@getlimiter.com.
We retain no consumer health data, so there is no retention period to state. Data on your device stays until you delete it or delete the app.
