Privacy Policy
Last updated October 15, 2026
Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how Technous LTD (trading as nimble) collects, uses and protects your personal information when you use the nimble app for iPhone and our website. We keep it plain: what we collect, why, who helps us run nimble, and how to have it deleted. nimble is not intended for children under 13.
Information We Collect
We collect only what nimble needs to work:
•Account: your name and email address from Sign in with Apple or Google, and an account ID
•Profile details you choose to give: birthday, gender, country and city, language, wake time, habits and your companion character
•What you create: alarms, reminders, habit check-ins, messages you send to friends, posts in Morning Clubs and any reports you make
•Purchases: your subscription status, which reaches us from Apple through Adapty. We never see your card details
•Device and diagnostics: device type, iOS and app version, time zone, push notification tokens, and technical logs about whether alarms and notifications were delivered
•Usage: how you use the app (screens and actions), so we can improve it. We do not collect your precise location, contacts or photos.
Apple Health
If you connect Apple Health, nimble reads your sleep, steps and mindfulness minutes to show your morning insights, and saves the mindfulness sessions you complete in nimble to Apple Health.
•Health data stays on your iPhone. It is never sent to our servers or to any AI provider
•We never use Health data for advertising, and we never sell it or share it with anyone
•You can turn access off at any time in iPhone Settings → Apps → Health → Data Access & Devices → nimble
Location
nimble does not use GPS or your precise location. You pick a country and city during setup, and we use that city to show the local weather in your morning message.
•The city name is sent to WeatherAPI.com to get the forecast
•You can change your city in Profile at any time
AI-Generated Messages
nimble's morning messages and reminders are written by AI and spoken in your character's voice.
•Text is generated by xAI (Grok). To write a message we send what it is about: your habits and how they have been going, your wake time, your language, the local weather, your character, messages friends sent you (with their name), and whether your birthday is close. Your gender may be used only so the grammar is right in languages that need it
•Audio is generated by ElevenLabs from the finished text only
•We never send your email address, your exact birthday or your Health data to these providers. They process what we send under their API terms to return the message to us
•We ask before sending anything personal to these providers: during setup you decide whether to Allow AI coach, and you can change this any time in Profile. If you don't allow it, nothing personal is sent to them, and your alarm uses your character's general wake-up lines instead of personal ones, and the AI chat stays off
•The AI chat: when you talk to your character in the chat, what you write, your name, your habits, your local time and your language go to xAI (Grok) so it can answer you. It can look at, set and change your alarms and reminders when you ask, and it asks before changing anything. The chat is part of the same choice: without Allow AI coach it stays off
•When you send a friend a message, you agree that your message and your name may be voiced in their alarm by these providers
How We Use Your Data
We use your information to:
•Run the alarms, reminders and wake checks you set
•Write and voice your personal morning messages
•Show your progress, points and habit history
•Deliver messages from friends and run Morning Clubs
•Manage your subscription
•Send service emails, such as welcome, subscription and account deletion notices
•Find and fix problems and improve the app. We do not use your data for advertising, and we do not track you across other companies' apps or websites.
Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with the providers that run parts of nimble for us, and only what each one needs:
•Supabase: our database and servers, hosted in the EU (Stockholm)
•Apple and Adapty: subscriptions and purchases
•xAI (Grok) and ElevenLabs: writing and voicing messages, and answering you in the AI chat (xAI), as described above
•WeatherAPI.com: the forecast for your city
•PostHog: product analytics, hosted in the EU
•Resend: service emails
•Expo: delivering push notifications
•Apple and Google: signing in. Every provider we share data with is bound by contract to protect it at least as well as we do, and processes it only to provide their service to us. Other people see only what you choose to share: your friends see your name and username, and hear the messages you send them in their alarm; members of a Morning Club see your posts and, unless you turn off Show My Username in Clubs in Profile, your username; and other people can find you by username only if Allow Others to Find Me is on in Profile. If you report a post or a message, the person is never told who reported it.
Data Retention & Deletion
We keep your data while your account is active.
•To delete your account, go to Profile → Delete Account in the app. Deletion is scheduled 14 days ahead, so you can change your mind; tap Delete now to delete it straight away
•Deletion removes your profile, alarms, habits, check-ins, messages, the voice recordings made for you and your device tokens. We also revoke your Sign in with Apple token and delete your subscription profile at Adapty
•Feature requests you sent us are kept without your name
•Reports are kept as moderation evidence, even after the reported post, message or account is deleted. Reports you made are deleted with your account
•Server logs are deleted automatically within 7 days. The alarm and notification delivery logs the app sends us stay with your account and are deleted with it
•Deleted data can remain in our database backups for up to 7 days, until those backups are replaced
•Product analytics events are kept for at most 7 years
•Deleting your account does not cancel an App Store subscription. Cancel it in iPhone Settings → your name → Subscriptions
•We protect your data with encryption in transit and strict access controls. No system is perfectly secure, but we work hard to keep yours safe

•See the personal data we hold about you
