Your social experiences and reflections are yours. Steady is built to help you show up grounded without ever compromising the privacy of your personal data.
Our Privacy Philosophy
Steady helps you prepare for social events and process them afterward. Your event details, reflections, and patterns are deeply personal — we've designed the app to keep them that way.
We collect data to understand what helps people build lasting confidence — not what keeps them using apps longer. If data shows a feature increases engagement but doesn't build capacity, we remove it.
Information We Collect
Your Event Data: Event details, people, topics, intentions, notecards, and reflections you create in Steady are stored locally on your device — we cannot access them. The text of your prep and debrief conversations is the only content that may be transmitted off-device, and only with your explicit consent, as described in "Third-party AI processing" below.
Account Information: If you create an account for sync or backup, we collect your email address.
Anonymized Patterns (Optional): If you consent, we collect anonymized usage patterns to improve the app. This includes prep duration, debrief completion rates, and scaffolding level — never names, topics, or personal content.
Usage Analytics: We collect anonymous usage statistics (feature usage, app stability) to improve Steady. This data cannot identify you or reveal your personal content.
How We Use Your Information
- Provide local app functionality
- Enable optional cloud sync (if you choose)
- Improve app performance and stability
- Understand what builds capacity so we can help others (only with consent)
- Send service-related communications
What We Don't Do
- Read your event details, people, or reflections
- Train AI on your personal content
- Sell your data to third parties
- Share your information for advertising
- Use data to make you use the app more
- Link patterns back to identifiable individuals
Third-party AI processing
Steady uses two AI paths to help you prepare for and reflect on social moments. Most of the work happens entirely on your device using Apple's built-in on-device AI. For some interactions — when on-device AI isn't available on your iPhone, or when you've explicitly opted in to richer cloud responses — Steady sends your prep conversation text to Anthropic's Claude through a secure proxy operated by Continuity Labs.
What we send: only the text of your prep or debrief conversation. We do not send your name, email, contacts, calendar, location, or audio recordings. Anthropic does not use this content to train their models — this is governed by Anthropic's commercial terms with Continuity Labs.
When we send it: Steady asks for your explicit consent before the first transmission. You can revoke that consent at any time in Settings → About AI; subsequent prep sessions will run on-device only.
Identity at the proxy: Steady authenticates with the proxy using a per-device token (Apple App Attest + JWT). We do not maintain user accounts. The token cannot be linked to you personally.
Data Sharing Consent
We ask once — after you've experienced Steady's value — whether you'd like to share anonymized patterns. This is entirely optional. No features are gated behind consent. If you decline, we never ask again.
If you consent, we collect only structural patterns (timing, completion rates, scaffolding levels) with a random UUID that cannot be linked to you. You can change this anytime in Settings.
Your Rights
You can export or delete your data at any time within the app. Since data is stored locally, deletion is immediate and permanent. For account-related requests, contact support@continuitylabs.ai.
