Privacy Policy — OMEN

Last updated: 2026-08-20

This policy explains what OMEN ("OMEN", "the app", "we") does with your information. It describes the app as it actually works today. It is written to be truthful about a small, quiet app — not to reserve rights we do not use.

Who we are

OMEN is a ritual app for a daily sign, private intentions, and a personal star map. It is made by an independent studio.

• Contact: louisboillin@outlook.com
• Data-deletion requests: in the app (Settings → Delete account) first, email for analytics data (see "Deleting your data" below).

What we collect

We keep the app deliberately minimal. Here is everything.

An account, when you choose to save

You can use much of OMEN without an account. When you choose to save your work across devices, you sign in with Sign in with Apple or Google Sign-In. We use Firebase Authentication (a Google service) to manage that sign-in. From it we receive an account identifier and, depending on the provider and your choices, an email address. We use this only to recognise your account and keep your ritual yours. There is no email-and-password path.

Intentions and Today state

Your intentions, your Today draw, and your universe are stored on your device using the operating system's local storage. This stays on the device and is not sent to us — unless you have signed in to sync, in which case the text of your sealed intentions, their focus tags and their dates are stored in our cloud database (Google Firestore) so they can reach your other devices. We do not read your intentions for any purpose other than showing them back to you.

How you use the app, and recordings of your screen

We use PostHog, a product-analytics service, to understand how OMEN is actually used. Two kinds of record go to it.

Usage events. When the app is installed, opened, closed or updated, and which screens you reach as you move through it. These describe your activity in the app. They do not contain the text of your intentions.

Session recordings. We record your screen while you use the app, as a series of screenshots. This is the most intrusive thing OMEN does, so here is precisely what it means:

• Text and images are blacked out automatically, on your device, before anything is sent. Every intention you write or reread, your first name, and the words of your daily sign are replaced by solid blocks in every frame.
• What remains is layout and movement — where you tapped, how long you held the wheel, which way you scrolled, where you gave up.
• One exception we know of: the artwork on your daily sign card is painted rather than placed as a normal image, so the automatic blackout does not cover it and it can appear in a recording. That artwork is ours and is identical for every reader; it is not something you wrote.
• Screens that belong to Apple or Google rather than to us — the sign-in sheet, the App Store purchase sheet — are never recorded at all.

These records are attached to your account. Once you sign in, usage events and session recordings are stored against the same account identifier as the rest of your data, so we can follow one reader's path through the app rather than an anonymous crowd. Before you sign in they carry no account — but when you do sign in, the records already made are attached to it retroactively, including those from the onboarding you have just finished. So signing in does not only start the association; it reaches backwards over that first session.

Our PostHog project is hosted in the European Union (Frankfurt). As with crash reports, this runs only in released builds — a development build of ours sends nothing.

Crash diagnostics

We use Firebase Crashlytics to collect crash reports — diagnostic information about a crash (such as the device model, operating system version, and the technical stack trace at the moment of failure). This helps us fix problems that would otherwise be invisible. Crash collection runs only in released builds. Crash reports do not include your intentions.

What we do NOT do

• No advertising. We show no ads and use no advertising SDK.
• No tracking across other companies' apps. OMEN never reads the advertising identifier (IDFA), carries no attribution or ad-network SDK, and builds no advertising profile. Nothing we collect is combined with data about you from other companies' apps or websites, and our App Store privacy manifest declares no tracking and no tracking domains. That claim is narrower than it may sound, and we would rather be exact than flattering: we do measure how OMEN itself is used, session recordings included — see "How you use the app" above.
• No data sale. We do not sell your information, and we do not share it with data brokers.

Subscriptions

OMEN offers an auto-renewing subscription. Payment is handled entirely by the App Store — we never see or store your card details. Purchase and renewal status is managed by Apple and, on our side, by RevenueCat, our subscription infrastructure provider, which tells the app whether your subscription is active. See the Terms of Use for the subscription terms.

The services we rely on

We do not run our own servers for most of this; we use established providers:

• Apple — Sign in with Apple, App Store payments and subscription management.
• Google (Firebase) — Authentication, Firestore (cloud storage of sealed intention text when you sync), and Crashlytics (crash diagnostics).
• RevenueCat — subscription status.
• PostHog — product analytics and session recordings, on a project hosted in the European Union (Frankfurt).

Each processes data on our behalf to make the app work.

Deleting your data

In the app: the profile icon on Today → Delete account. This deletes your account, your synced intentions in our cloud database, and the app's local data — immediately.

You can also clear only the app's local data at any time by deleting the app from your device.

By email, for analytics data: deleting your account does not, on its own, reach the usage events and session recordings PostHog holds against your account identifier. For those, email us at louisboillin@outlook.com and we will remove them within 30 days.

Children

OMEN is not directed to children and is intended for a general adult audience.

Changes to this policy

If we change what the app collects, we will update this document and its "Last updated" date before the change ships.
