Presence privacy policy
How the Presence app for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch from Colormetric Labs handles your data.
Version 2026-11-07 · in effect from 2026-11-07
In short
Presence does not collect, sell or share personal data. Colormetric Labs runs no server for the app. There is no account, no analytics, no advertising and no tracking. Your practice is stored on your device, and in your own private iCloud only if you turn on sync. On the App Store, the app's privacy label is "Data Not Collected".
What the app stores
Your profile, goals and plans, journal entries, mission log, check-ins, vision board, grooming routine and photos, practice recordings and settings are stored in the app's private storage on your device. Nothing is sent to Colormetric Labs. Delete the app and they are removed.
iCloud sync, only if you turn it on
Sync is off until you turn it on in Me › Settings. It then copies your plans, journal, missions and settings to your private iCloud database, so they reach your other iPhone or iPad. Colormetric Labs cannot see that database. Check-ins, grooming, photos, recordings and health data never sync; they stay on the device.
Camera, microphone and speech
Camera. The gaze, smile and posture trainers read the camera on your device to give feedback. Nothing is recorded, saved or uploaded.
Microphone and speech. The voice studio records your takes on your device. Speech is transcribed on the device only, to give pace and pause feedback. Recordings stay on the device until you delete them.
Photos. You choose photos for your vision board or grooming log with Apple's photo picker. The app gets only the photos you pick, and keeps its copies on the device.
Apple Health
Only if you connect it. Presence reads your sleep to show last night, your average and how steady your bedtime is, and saves your mindful minutes and the evening moods you choose to log. Health data is read and written on your device and is never sent to Colormetric Labs, never used for advertising, and never synced by the app.
The coach
The coach and role-plays use Apple Intelligence on your device when it is available, and written answers built into the app when it is not. What you type is not sent to Colormetric Labs or to any AI service.
Purchases
Apple handles the one-time purchase. We never see your payment details, name or Apple Account. The app checks your purchase with Apple's signed records, on the device. The 14-day trial needs no purchase and no account; the app keeps its start date in your device's keychain.
Features that stay on your device
Reminders are off unless you turn them on. They are scheduled on your device; nothing is sent to us.
Journal lock: Face ID or Touch ID is checked by your device. The app never sees your face or fingerprint.
Widgets and Apple Watch: the app shares today's practice with its own widgets and with your paired Apple Watch, directly between your devices.
Source links: Myth vs Fact cards link to the studies they cite. Tapping one opens the website in your browser, and that website sees your visit as it would any other.
No third parties
The app contains no advertising, analytics, crash-reporting or tracking code from anyone. It never asks to track you across other apps, because it does not track you at all.
Your data, your control
Me › Settings › Delete all my data erases your journal, plans, logs and check-ins from the device. Delete the app and everything it stored on the device goes with it. Data in your private iCloud stays until you delete it in your iCloud settings. We hold no record of you, so there is nothing for us to send you or delete.
Children
Presence is not directed at children. It collects no personal data from anyone, including children. It has no advertising, no social features and no way to contact other people. Purchases go through Apple, so Ask to Buy and Screen Time controls apply.
