Socod
Privacy Policy
Socod collects as little as possible. There is no sign-up, no email, no ads and no tracking, and we never sell data.
Socod is made by Mohamed Abdullahi Kassim, an independent developer (app studio: SoMeal Technologies). Questions about privacy: myccharlotte+socod@gmail.com.
What stays only on your iPhone
- The apps you lock and your lock times. Socod uses Apple's Screen Time tools. iOS gives Socod only coded tokens for the apps you pick, not their names, and Socod cannot see what you do inside any app.
- Apple Health data. Only when you choose a feature, Socod asks to read steps (including Apple Watch), exercise minutes, or weight. Health data never leaves your phone. Socod never writes to Apple Health. Imported weight is visible for the current session only; manual weight entries can be deleted in the app. Activity progress and weight files are protected and excluded from backups.
- Your approximate location, only if you use the lock-after-Fajr option. Socod asks for a rough location, accurate to about 1 km, only to work out today's Fajr time. It is kept in the app's settings on your iPhone and is never uploaded or shared.
- Live step counting from the iPhone's motion sensor, your settings, reminders and your honesty log.
Cloud backup and existing records
Starting with build 8 (version 1.0.2), new activity, health and progress data is not uploaded. Cloud backup and group challenges are paused. Earlier versions offered anonymous-account backup and groups; this update does not itself delete any records those versions may have uploaded.
The only account network action in this version is deletion you explicitly request in Settings, together with authentication needed to delete your existing account. No new account is created for deletion.
Companies that help us
- Supabase hosts Socod's database. Like any web service, its servers may keep short technical logs (such as IP address) for security and to keep the service running.
- Apple handles App Store purchases. We never receive your card or payment details; your iPhone only tells Socod whether Premium is active.
Keeping and deleting your data
Earlier server records remain until deleted. You can delete it yourself at any time: Settings → Privacy → Delete my backed-up data. This removes your backed-up history, progress, group memberships and the anonymous account from our server, and turns backup off. You can also write to myccharlotte+socod@gmail.com with the word "Delete".
Deleting the Socod app removes everything stored on your phone, but not the backup. Use the delete button first if you want both gone.
Your choices and rights
You can refuse or remove Motion & Fitness, Apple Health, Location and notification access in iPhone Settings, and ask us to see, correct or delete your data by writing to myccharlotte+socod@gmail.com.
Children
Socod is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from them.
Changes
If this policy changes, we update this page and the date at the top. Important changes are also mentioned in the app's release notes.
