Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2026

AfterAction does not collect, store, transmit, or share any personal data. Everything you enter — your service profile, symptoms, journal entries, photos, voice notes, and claim drafts — stays on your iPhone. There is no account. There is no cloud sync. There are no analytics SDKs. There are no advertisements.

What we don't collect

• No account information. AfterAction has no sign-in.
• No analytics, telemetry, or usage tracking.
• No location data.
• No device identifiers, advertising IDs, or fingerprinting.
• No third-party software development kits that collect data.

What stays on your device

• Your veteran profile (branch, MOS, deployments, current rating).
• Your symptom journal entries, including any photos and voice notes you attach.
• Your claim drafts and the "three pillars" evidence checklist.
• Your Service Ribbons and journaling streaks.
• Any responses you provide to the validated screening questionnaires (PHQ-9, GAD-7, ISI, PCL-5).
• Optional sleep and resting heart-rate data you choose to read from Apple Health.

On-device AI

The AI claim insights feature uses Apple's on-device Foundation Models. Your service profile and symptom data are processed locally on your iPhone to generate suggestions. Nothing is sent to any server — not Apple's, not ours, not anyone else's. On older iOS versions where Foundation Models is unavailable, the app uses a sample-data demo mode that processes nothing.

Apple Health

If you grant permission, AfterAction reads sleep and resting heart-rate values from Apple Health to display alongside your symptoms. AfterAction never writes to Apple Health and never transmits any health data off your device.

In-app purchases

Optional Support Pack and Founder purchases are processed by Apple, not by us. Apple handles transaction records under their privacy policy. AfterAction receives only an entitlement flag indicating that you bought the cosmetic Service Ribbon — no card data, no email, no name.

Data deletion

You can erase all data at any time from Settings → Your Data → Erase All Data. The wipe is immediate and irreversible. Deleting the app from your iPhone also removes everything.

Children

AfterAction is intended for adults researching VA disability benefits. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone of any age (we do not collect data from anyone, period).

Changes

If this policy changes, the "Last updated" date above will be revised and a brief summary of the change will appear here.
