The short version: No EightRings app shows ads, runs analytics, or tracks you. Calendar, Lists, Notes, Habits, Timers, and Pro work without an account and keep your content on your device — AI understanding runs on Apple's on-device models. One app uses a secure cloud service: Health sends the data you choose to log to our secured AI service to generate coaching — and does not store your conversations or health data on our servers.

Overview

The EightRings family of apps ("the Apps") — Pro, Calendar, Lists, Notes, Habits, Health, and Timers — is developed and operated by OctiCorp. This Privacy Policy explains what information each app handles, how it is protected, and what choices you have. By using the Apps, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

Calendar, Lists, Notes, Habits, Timers, and Pro are designed to work on-device. They require no account and collect no personal information; your content stays on your iPhone.

Health necessarily uses network services to do its job — generating AI coaching. The section below describes exactly what that service can and cannot see.

Data We Collect

Information you create (stored on your device)

All content you create within the Apps — voice recordings, transcriptions, AI summaries, lists, calendar events, notes, habit and timer data, and meals and workouts — is stored locally on your device. This data belongs to you.

  • Voice recordings and audio files
  • Transcriptions and AI-generated summaries
  • To-do lists and list items
  • Calendar events and reminders
  • Notes (voice and manual)
  • Habit entries and streak data
  • Focus (Pomodoro) session counts and timer stats
  • Meals, workouts, and health logs (Health)
  • App preferences and settings

Account information (Health only)

  • Health — Sign in with Apple provides your name and email (which you can hide via Apple's private relay) to create your account. No password is ever created or stored.

Information we do not collect — any app

  • Location data
  • Device identifiers for advertising purposes
  • Usage analytics or behavioral tracking data
  • Your contacts or address book
  • Crash reports sent to OctiCorp servers

On-Device AI Processing

In Calendar, Lists, Notes, Habits, Timers, and Pro, AI understanding runs directly on your device using Apple's frameworks:

  • Speech transcription — Apple's Speech framework (18+ languages). Depending on your device and language, Apple may process speech using Apple's servers under Apple's privacy policy.
  • Smart Extraction — on-device Natural Language processing to detect lists, events, and notes from speech
  • AI Summaries, Daily Brief & Daily Stats — Apple Foundation Models (iOS 26+), running entirely on-device

In these apps, no audio, transcription, or AI prompt data is ever sent to OctiCorp or any third-party AI provider.

Health: Secure Cloud AI

EightRings Health uses a cloud AI service to power its coach, meal-photo analysis, and insights — this is the one EightRings app whose AI does not run on your phone. It is engineered so that the service computes answers without keeping your data:

What is sent, and why

  • Coach & insights — your profile (name, age, goals, targets) and the day's logged meals, water, exercise, and weight trend are included in the AI request so the coach can respond in context
  • Meal photos — the photo you snap is sent for food recognition and nutrition estimates
  • Food search — text queries and barcodes are checked against the OpenFoodFacts public database

How it is protected

  • No server-side storage of your content — conversations, photos, and health details are processed to generate a response and are not stored on our servers; we retain only aggregate, auto-expiring usage counts for billing
  • Sign in with Apple — no passwords; you can hide your email with Apple's private relay
  • Encrypted and signed — every request travels over TLS and is cryptographically signed (AWS Signature v4) using short-lived credentials kept in your device's Keychain
  • Apple Health stays on your device — the app reads steps, sleep, and workouts locally with your permission; raw HealthKit records are never uploaded, only the derived daily numbers that appear in your coach conversation

To delete your Health account and any server-side account records, use the in-app account deletion option or contact support@octicorp.com.

Audio Recordings

The App requests access to your device's microphone solely to capture voice recordings initiated by you. Microphone access is never used in the background or without your active interaction.

Recorded audio files are stored in your app's local sandbox and are never transmitted over the internet by the App. You can delete individual recordings or all recordings at any time from Settings → Storage → Clear All Recordings.

Storage & Data Retention

App data — recordings, transcriptions, lists, notes, events, habits, timers, and health logs — is stored locally on your device using Apple's secure storage infrastructure and iOS data protection. The only data held server-side is what Health needs to operate, described above: account registration records and aggregate usage counts.

Deleting your data

You can permanently delete all recordings from Settings → Storage → Clear All Recordings within the app. Uninstalling any EightRings app removes all locally stored app data from your device. We do not retain copies of your content on any OctiCorp server; for Health account records, use in-app account deletion or contact us.

iCloud

The Apps do not currently use iCloud sync. All data remains on the device where it was created.

Subscriptions & Payments

Calendar, Lists, Notes, Habits, and Timers are free. EightRings Pro is subscription-based, and Health offers optional subscriptions for expanded AI use. All purchases are managed entirely through Apple's App Store and StoreKit infrastructure.

  • OctiCorp does not collect, process, or store your payment information
  • All billing is handled by Apple — subject to Apple's Privacy Policy and terms
  • Subscription status is verified on-device via Apple's StoreKit framework

For billing questions or refund requests, please contact Apple Support or visit Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions on your device.

Third Parties

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data or content with any third party for any purpose, including advertising.

The Apps integrate with the following Apple system services, which are governed by Apple's own Privacy Policy:

  • Apple Speech Framework — voice transcription
  • Apple Foundation Models — on-device AI (iOS 26+)
  • HealthKit — reading and writing health data in Health, with your permission; never uploaded
  • Sign in with Apple — account creation for Health
  • StoreKit — subscription management via the App Store
  • WatchConnectivity — syncing with the paired Apple Watch apps

Health runs on the following infrastructure and data providers:

  • Amazon Web Services (AWS) — hosts Health's AI service; connections are TLS-encrypted and requests are cryptographically signed
  • Amazon Bedrock (Anthropic Claude) — processes Health's AI coaching requests to generate responses; not used for model training by us
  • OpenFoodFacts — public food and barcode database queried by Health's food search

We do not integrate any third-party analytics SDKs, advertising SDKs, or crash reporting services that transmit data externally.

Children's Privacy

EightRings is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at info@octicorp.com and we will take steps to delete it.

Your Rights & Choices

Access and deletion

Because your content is stored locally on your device, you have complete control. You can view, edit, and delete any content directly within each app at any time. Deleting an app removes all associated on-device data. Health additionally offers account deletion, which removes your registration records from our servers.

Microphone permission

You can revoke microphone access at any time via iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Microphone → EightRings. Revoking microphone access disables recording features but does not affect other functionality.

Subscriptions

You can cancel your subscription at any time through the App Store. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
