Privacy policy
Last updated 11 November 2026
Lifebolt is a free planner for jobs, dreams, leave and important dates. This policy explains what information Lifebolt keeps, why, and the choices you have. The short version: we keep only what the app needs to work, we never sell it, and there are no adverts or tracking.
Who we are
Lifebolt is made by Andy Prior, an independent developer based in Scotland, United Kingdom, who is responsible for your information under UK data protection law. Contact: support@lifebolt.app.
What we keep
- Your account — your email address, and your name if you choose to share it when signing in with Apple or Google. Passwords are stored securely as one-way hashes; we can't see them.
- What you put in Lifebolt — your jobs and dreams, life areas, Life Clock dates and reminders, leave bookings, and settings such as your working days and leave allowance.
- Security records — when you sign in, our database provider records basic technical details (such as the time and your IP address) to keep accounts secure and stop misuse.
What stays on your phone
- Calendar events. If you switch on calendar sync, Lifebolt reads your phone's calendars on the device to show events in your Jobs list. They are never sent to us or stored on our servers.
- Reminder notifications are scheduled on your phone.
- A few on-device preferences, such as whether reminders are on and which calendars to show.
What we don't do
- No adverts, no advertising IDs and no tracking across other apps or websites.
- No analytics or third-party tracking tools.
- We never sell or share your information for marketing.
- We don't access your location, contacts, photos or microphone.
Why we use it
We use your information only to run Lifebolt for you — to sign you in, keep your data in sync across your devices and send account emails such as confirming your address or resetting your password. Under UK GDPR, our legal basis is that this is necessary to provide the service you've asked for, plus our legitimate interest in keeping the service secure.
Where it's stored
Your data is stored with Supabase, our database and sign-in provider, on servers in London, United Kingdom. Account emails are sent through an email delivery provider acting on our behalf. These providers only process your information on our instructions and are bound by data protection terms. If any of them handle information outside the UK, they do so under safeguards approved by UK law.
How long we keep it
We keep your information while you have an account. When you delete your account, your account and everything in it are removed from our database straight away. Copies in our provider's routine backups are overwritten in the normal course of their backup cycle.
Your rights
You can see, correct and download your information at any time in the app (You → Export your data), and delete it all (You → Delete account). You also have the right to ask us for a copy of your information, to have it corrected or erased, to object to or restrict how we use it, and to move it elsewhere. Email support@lifebolt.app and we'll respond within one month.
If you're unhappy with how we've handled your information, you can complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
Children
Lifebolt isn't designed for children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect information from them.
Changes
If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top. If a change is significant, we'll let you know in the app.
