Privacy Policy
Worthwhile is built so that almost everything about you stays on your phone. Here's exactly what is stored, where, and why.
Last updated: October 4, 2026The short version: No account. We never ask for your name or email. Your receipts, bloom, notes and answers live on your device. Only anonymous things reach our server: Verdicts activity (ratings, including your answer to the daily question, prompts you suggest, and reports) and, only if you turn it on, the Field (what kind of time you took back, never who you are). No ads, no tracking, no analytics, and we never sell data.
What stays on your phone
These are stored only on your device. We can't see them.
- The time you log: what you did, how long, which kind of time it fed, how it landed, and any words or notes you add
- Your bloom, the patterns the app notices, and your starting shape
- Your daily question answers and pulse check-ins
- Saved ideas, things you meant to get to, and "not for me" choices
- Private notes you write on Verdicts prompts
- Your settings, like dark mode and reminder times
If you delete the app, this data is deleted with it.
The Field (optional)
The Field shows anonymous time people took back today. It's off until you choose to join, and you can turn it off any time in Bloom → The Field.
When it's on, each time you rate as worthwhile shares only:
- which activity it was, from the app's own list of ideas
- its kind of time, how many minutes, and one word you picked from a fixed list
It never includes your name, your notes, free text, your location, or anything about your device. Other people see it as "Someone · 20 min ago". Posts are shown for 24 hours and deleted from our server after 7 days.
Removing yours: open a receipt in Receipts and tap Remove from the Field, or turn the Field off to remove everything you've shared.
Hiding or reporting others: tap any petal, then Hide (just for you) or Report. Reported posts are hidden for you right away and removed for everyone after a few reports.
What reaches our server
Only the shared parts of the app, Verdicts and the Field, use a server. Both are anonymous.
| What | Why |
|---|---|
| Your rating of a Verdicts prompt, including your swipe on the daily question | So everyone can see how people rate it |
| Time you took back, only if you join the Field | To show what people are doing with their free time today (see below) |
| Prompts you suggest | They're reviewed before anyone else sees them |
| Reports of a prompt | So we can remove things that don't belong |
| A random ID made on your phone | So you can change your own rating or delete your own prompt. It isn't tied to your name, email, phone or Apple ID. |
Location
If you tap Use my location, Worthwhile checks your location once, on your phone, to favor ideas you can walk to. Your location is never sent to us or anyone else, and it is never tracked in the background. You can turn it off any time in Settings → Worthwhile → Location.
Notifications
Reminders, like "your time is up" or a daily nudge, are scheduled on your phone. We don't send push notifications and don't collect a notification token.
Services we use

Your choices
- See your data: Bloom → Data & sync → Export my data.
- Delete your data: Bloom → Data & sync → Delete local data, or delete the app.
- Delete a prompt you suggested: open it in Verdicts and remove it.
- Remove your Verdicts ratings: email us. Because ratings are anonymous, include your ID (it's the worthwhile-owner-token line in Export my data) so we remove only yours.
Children
Worthwhile is for people 18 and older. We don't knowingly collect information from anyone younger. If you think a minor has used Verdicts or the Field, contact us and we'll remove it.
Changes
If this policy changes in a meaningful way, we'll update this page and tell you in the app before the change takes effect.
