Patter
Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 22, 2026
Patter is a daily walking meditation app made by Sidedoor Labs LLC (“we”, “us”). This policy explains what the app collects, why, and how you can delete it.
The short version
- You sign in with Apple. We get an account ID from Apple and an email address, which can be Apple’s private relay address if you choose to hide your email.
- We store the days you finish a walk, so your streak follows you to a new phone.
- Your reminder time stays on your phone.
- No ads, no analytics, no tracking, and we don’t sell or share your data.
- You can delete your account and everything tied to it from Settings at any time.
What we collect
Account. When you sign in with Apple, Apple gives us a unique account ID and an email address. If you choose “Hide My Email”, we only see a relay address that Apple forwards to you. We don’t get your name, and we never see your Apple password.
Walks. When you pass the halfway point of a walk, the app saves a record with:
- the date of the walk (your local calendar day)
- which day’s meditation you walked
- how far into the walk you were when it counted
- the time it was saved
We use this only to show your streak and your week, and to restore them if you reinstall the app or switch phones.
Kept only on your phone. Your reminder time and on/off setting, the last 7 downloaded meditations, and a copy of your walk history. These are not sent to us.
What we don’t collect
We don’t collect your location, steps, health data, contacts, photos or microphone audio. The app has no ads and no analytics or tracking tools, and we don’t track you across other apps or websites.
Who handles the data
- Supabase stores your account and walk records on our behalf. Data is sent over encrypted connections, and access is limited so each account can only read its own walks.
- Apple handles Sign in with Apple and delivers reminders. Reminders are scheduled on your phone; no reminder data comes to us.
The daily meditations are written and voiced ahead of time with AI services (Anthropic and ElevenLabs). Those services never receive any information about you.
Beta testing. If you use Patter through TestFlight, Apple may share crash reports, and any feedback or screenshots you choose to send, with us. Apple’s TestFlight terms cover that data.
How long we keep it
We keep your account and walk records until you delete your account. Downloaded meditations on your phone are removed automatically after 7 days.
Deleting your account
In Patter, open Settings and tap Delete account. This:
- revokes Patter’s access to your Apple sign-in
- deletes your account and all of your walk records from our servers
- clears your account, walk history and reminder settings from the phone
Deleting the app alone removes the data on your phone but keeps your account on our servers. To delete your account without the app, email us at the address below.
Children
Patter is not directed at children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect data from them. If you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we’ll delete it.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to see, correct, export or delete your data. Email us and we’ll respond within 30 days.
Changes
If we change this policy, we’ll update the date at the top. If a change affects how your data is used, we’ll tell you in the app first.
