Innate (“the app”, “we”) is a Human Design self-knowledge app for iPhone developed by Vladyslav Prykhodko. This policy explains what Innate does — and does not do — with your information.
The short version
Your birth details are used only to calculate your chart, and your saved people, notes and journal stay private to you. There is no account — no email, no password. We collect anonymous, content-free usage statistics (which features are opened, whether a crash occurred) to improve the app — never your chart details, birth information, or journal — and you can turn this off in Settings.
Unlike a fully on-device app, Innate is backend-authoritative: to draw your Bodygraph, your birth details are sent once, over an authenticated connection, to our own compute backend, which calculates the chart. The result is then cached on your iPhone, and the reading works offline afterwards. That one calculation is the only time your birth data leaves the device, and it goes only to us — never to any analytics or advertising company.
No account, anonymous by design
Innate has no sign-up, no email, and no password. To keep your charts and purchases associated with you across your own devices, the app generates a random anonymous identifier stored in your iCloud Keychain (so it syncs across devices signed in to your Apple ID and survives a reinstall). This identifier is not linked to your name or email — we don’t collect either — and is sent to our backend only to fetch your chart content and validate your purchase.
What is sent to our backend, and why
To compute and serve your Human Design chart, the backend receives:
- Your birth details — date, exact time, and the coordinates of your birthplace — used only to calculate the chart. When you search for your birthplace, the lookup happens on your device, and only the coordinates are sent — never the place text you typed. The backend derives the timezone from the coordinates itself.
- Your anonymous identifier (above), so your chart and any purchase can be tied to your device — not to your identity.
The computed chart and the authored readings are then cached on your iPhone. From then on, reading your chart is a local, offline operation — it is never a per-use call to a server. The backend is contacted only for specific actions: computing a new chart, syncing updated content, refreshing daily transits, generating your one-time AI synthesis or relationship readings, and validating a purchase.
What stays private to you (and never goes to analytics)
The following is never sent to any analytics or crash-reporting service, and is kept for your use only:
- Your birth date, exact time, birthplace and coordinates.
- The names and birth details of people you save.
- Your decision-journal entries and any personal notes.
- Your AI synthesis and relationship readings, and any chart-derived specifics about you (your Type, Authority, gates, and so on as your values).
If a value came from your birth data, a saved person, your journal, or your chart, it does not cross into telemetry. Only anonymous events, counts, and durations do.
Device permissions
Innate asks for no special device permissions. It does not access your location, notifications, photos, microphone, or contacts. Your birthplace is found with an on-device map search that needs no location access.
Analytics and diagnostics
To fix problems and decide what to improve, Innate uses two privacy-respecting services — PostHog (product analytics, hosted in the EU) and Sentry (crash and error reporting) — to collect anonymous, aggregate information:
- Usage data — for example which screens are viewed and in-app events such as generating a chart (the act, never its contents), opening a reading (and which kind of element — Type, center, channel — never the prose), or opening the paywall.
- Diagnostics — app version, iOS version, and device model.
- Crash & error reports — when the app crashes or hits an error, an anonymous report (stack trace, device/OS, and a trail of recent in-app events) so we can fix it.
What this data never includes:
- Your birth details, your chart’s contents, your saved people, or your journal.
- Your name, email, contacts, or precise location.
This data is anonymous — it is not linked to your identity, is not used to track you across other companies’ apps or websites, and is never used for advertising. It carries no advertising identifier (so the app shows no tracking prompt). You can turn analytics and crash reporting off in Settings ▸ Privacy.
Purchases
The Innate subscription is processed by Apple through the App Store using StoreKit. Innate does not receive or store your payment details. To unlock the app on your devices, the app validates your purchase through our backend using your anonymous identifier. Apple’s handling of the purchase is governed by Apple’s own privacy policy.
Not a medical or fortune-telling app
Innate is a self-knowledge and decision-making tool — comparable to a personality framework. It is not a medical device, does not diagnose or treat any condition, and does not predict the future. Nothing in the app is medical, financial, or professional advice.
Children
Innate is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone.
