Privacy Policy

This policy covers the Unhumble iPhone app and its pages at clickingnook.com/unhumble and unhumble.app. Both are operated by Clicking Nook LLC (“we,” “us”), a company based in Oklahoma, USA.

The app

What stays on your iPhone

Your name, role title, start date, metrics, the counts and amounts you log, your notes and wins, the short answers you can give about a win, the stories and bullets written from them, and reminder settings are stored in the app’s own storage on your iPhone. We never receive them. The app asks what to call you so it can put your name on Today; a first name or nickname is fine, and it’s never sent to the AI features. It doesn’t ask for your employer or your email. Like other app data, this is included in your iPhone’s own backups; we have no copy.

iCloud backup

The app saves a copy of your record to your own iCloud, so a new iPhone or a reinstall can bring it back. It’s on unless you turn it off. The copy is the app’s whole database: your job, metrics, numbers, notes and wins, your answers, stories and saved bullets, name, reminder and review settings, your AI choice, past jobs, and the app’s pass bookkeeping (whether your free run is used, and fair-use counts). It doesn’t include a pass you bought; Apple restores that.

The copy sits in Unhumble’s private area of your iCloud, stored by Apple under Apple’s privacy policy. It doesn’t appear in the Files app, and we can’t see it or read it. A new copy is saved when you leave the app after a change, or when you tap Back up now. When you install the app again, or on a new iPhone signed in to the same Apple ID, the first screen offers to restore it.

To turn it off, go to Settings › Your data › iCloud backup. Turning it off deletes the copy in your iCloud; your record stays on your iPhone. Delete all data deletes it too. If iCloud isn’t available on your iPhone (you’re signed out, or iCloud Drive is off for Unhumble), nothing is backed up.

AI features, and exactly what they send

Four optional features use AI. Nothing is sent until you agree, on the screen that appears the first time you tap an AI feature.

• Find my metrics sends your role title, the field (industry) if you pick one, and the job description if you paste one. It also sends the names of the app’s own metrics for the closest role, and for your field if you picked one. Make metrics from your title sends the title, the field if you picked one, and those metric names, and nothing else.
• Write bullets sends your role title, how long you’ve been in the role, the dates you pick, your totals and week-by-week numbers for those dates, the wins and numbers you pick with anything you add about them, and up to 10 other notes from those dates. Who said a win isn’t sent. With a pass, it also sends Apple’s signed receipt for the pass (see below).
• Job summary (with a pass) sends your role title and field, your job description if you saved one, your metrics with their totals, week-by-week numbers and why they matter, and your wins for the range, with the ones you marked big. Who said a win isn’t sent, and neither is its project. It goes through the same server and AI provider, and our server doesn’t store it. It also sends Apple’s signed receipt for the pass (see below).
• Tell the story writes a story and a bullet for a win from your answers. A win can have up to three short answers: what was at stake, what you did, and how it ended. They’re stored on your iPhone, and nothing is sent when you save them. When you write a bullet or a story for a win that has answers, it sends the win in your words and its date, those answers, your job title, how long you’d been in the job then, and the name and total of the metric the win is linked to. With a pass, it also sends Apple’s signed receipt for the pass (see below). Nothing is sent until you tap write.

For a win with answers, a person you saved as who said a win, or a project name you saved, goes as the role you picked for it (for example “the customer” or “my manager”), never the name, when it appears in your text. A win with no answers goes as you wrote it. A name you haven’t saved goes as you typed it, so edit it out first if you’d rather. Your project’s name, who said it about you, and your profile name are never sent.

The text goes over an encrypted connection to our server, which passes it to a third-party AI provider to write the result and returns it to your phone. Our server doesn’t store or log the text. Our AI provider processes it under its commercial terms. By default it doesn’t use this data to train its models. It deletes the data within 30 days, unless its automated safety systems flag a request as breaking its usage policy; then it can keep that request for up to 2 years. Our providers handle your data only to provide the service to us, under terms that protect it at least as well as this policy does.

Everything else in the app works without AI: picking your role replaces Find my metrics, and Copy on Record gives you your totals and wins as plain text. You can turn AI features off any time in the app under Settings › Legal › Privacy › Use AI features, and the screen will ask again before anything is sent. If a job description or note names your company or customers and you’d rather not send that, remove it before you tap.

Review Pass and Year Pass purchases

Both passes are bought through Apple’s App Store. Apple handles the payment; we don’t see your card or payment details, and we don’t get your name or Apple ID. The app asks the App Store whether your Apple ID has a pass and when it ends, so it can tell when the pass ends and restore it on a new iPhone. Renewals, cancelling, refunds and purchase history are handled by Apple under Apple’s privacy policy.

When you use Write bullets, Tell the story or Job summary with a pass, the app also sends Apple’s signed receipt for that pass to our server, so we can check the pass is real. We keep a scrambled (one-way hashed) version of the pass’s purchase ID, the pass type, its dates and counts of its runs, to apply fair use. Nothing else: not your name, not your Apple ID, nothing from your log. A pass’s record is deleted after 60 days without use, the next time our server clears out old ones.

The Review Report is made on your iPhone from your own log, without AI, and nothing in it is sent to us. It goes only where you share it.

Emailing support

The Email support button opens your email app with a message to support@clickingnook.com. It includes your app version, iOS version, whether you have a pass, and recent error notes. You see all of it and can edit it before you send.

Reminders

Reminders are scheduled on your iPhone. There’s no push server, and no one else knows when or whether you log.

What the app doesn’t do

• No account or sign-in.
• No analytics, advertising, or tracking code.
• No copy of your log on our servers, and no sharing with your employer or anyone else. Bullets and receipts go only where you paste or share them.

The app checks Expo’s update service for bug fixes. That request carries the app version, your iPhone’s platform, and a random ID that the update system creates for this install so it can deliver the right update. After a crash, the next request also carries the error message. The ID isn’t tied to your name, your Apple ID, or anything you log, and apart from that error message the request carries none of your data. If you’ve chosen to share analytics with app developers in your iPhone settings, Apple may give us anonymous crash reports. That sharing is controlled by you and handled by Apple.

Home Screen widget

The widget shows numbers from your log, read on your iPhone. Nothing is sent to us, and on the Lock Screen the numbers are hidden.

TestFlight builds

The app is on the App Store, and purchases there are real. If you still have a TestFlight build, TestFlight is run by Apple under Apple’s privacy policy, and Apple may share with us crash reports and the feedback you choose to send.

Deleting your data

In the app, go to Settings › Your data › Delete all data. That removes everything the app stored on your iPhone and the copy in your iCloud backup, and returns the app to the first screen. Deleting the app removes what’s on your iPhone but not your iCloud backup, so the app can offer it back if you install it again. To delete the backup without the app, open your iPhone’s Settings, tap your name, then iCloud › Manage Storage. A pass you bought stays with your Apple ID; use Settings › Your plan › Restore purchases to bring it back.

The website sign-up

If you sign up for Unhumble on this website, we collect:

• Your email address.
• Which app you signed up for, and when.
• An optional referral tag from the link you followed (for example “reddit”), so we know where people hear about us.
• A one-way scrambled (hashed) version of your IP address, used only to block spam signups. It can’t be turned back into your IP address, and we delete it within about 24 hours.

We use your email to send your invite and news about Unhumble’s launch, and nothing else unless you ask. Every email has an unsubscribe link. We keep your email until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it.

Sign-ups are stored with Convex, our database provider, and this website is hosted by Vercel, which keeps standard server logs. We don’t sell or share your email. This website doesn’t use cookies or tracking.

Service providers

We use these companies to run Unhumble. Each one gets only what it needs for its job.

• Convex: our server. It passes AI requests along, serves the list of roles the app downloads, and stores website sign-ups.
• Anthropic: our AI provider, in the United States.
• Vercel: hosts this website.
• Apple: iCloud backup, App Store purchases, and TestFlight for testers.
• Expo: checks for app updates.

Your choices

To see, correct, or delete your sign-up email, write to privacy@clickingnook.com. We honor these requests wherever you live. Your work log lives only on your iPhone, so you control it directly there.

If you’re in the EU or UK

Clicking Nook LLC is the controller of the personal data described here. Our legal bases are:

• Your consent, for the AI features. You can withdraw it any time in the app under Settings › Legal › Privacy › Use AI features. Withdrawing doesn’t affect what was sent before.
• Our legitimate interest in blocking spam, for the hashed IP address on website sign-ups.
• Your consent, for the sign-up email list. You can unsubscribe from any email.

Your data is processed in the United States. Transfers to our AI provider are covered by the standard contractual clauses (and the UK addendum) in its data processing terms.

You have the right to access, correct, or delete your data, to restrict or object to how we use it, and to get a copy you can take elsewhere. Write to privacy@clickingnook.com. You can also complain to your local data protection authority.

Children

Unhumble is for people at work and isn’t directed at children under 13. We don’t knowingly collect information from them. If you think a child has signed up, contact us and we’ll delete it.

Security

Keeping your log on your iPhone is our main safeguard. AI requests and sign-ups travel over encrypted connections, and sign-ups are stored by our provider with encryption at rest. No system is perfectly secure, but we collect as little as possible so there’s little to lose.

Changes

If we change this policy, we’ll update the date at the top. If a change affects what the app sends or collects, we’ll say so in the app before it takes effect.
