DeathDay

Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 1, 2026

DeathDay is developed and operated by Zane Industries LLC ("we," "us," or "our"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use the DeathDay iOS application ("App").

By using DeathDay, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

1. Information We Collect

Information you provide directly:

Name (first name only, used for personalization)
Date of birth and biological sex
Lifestyle information: smoking status, alcohol use, exercise habits, sleep, diet, stress levels, occupation, social life, medical conditions, family history, extreme activities, substance use, sauna use
Height and weight
ZIP code (used to calculate city-based cost of living)
Email address (optional, only if you choose to sign up for DeathDay news and tips)

Health data (optional, with your permission):

Steps, sleep, resting heart rate, and blood pressure from Apple Health
This data is read-only. We never write to Apple Health.
Health data is used solely to refine your actuarial estimate. It is never sold, shared, or used for advertising.

Usage data:

Daily logs and check-in answers
In-app streak and engagement data
Subscription status

2. How We Use Your Information

To calculate and display your estimated death date using actuarial models
To personalize your dashboard, risk factors, and retirement number
To track your progress and update your estimate when your answers or habits change
To send you notifications you have opted into
To process and manage your subscription

3. Data Storage

Personal data entered into DeathDay is stored locally on your device using iOS secure storage. We do not operate servers that store your lifestyle questionnaire answers or your Apple Health data. The one exception is email: if you choose to sign up for news and tips, your email address, and nothing else, is sent to our email service provider.

Subscription state is verified through Apple's StoreKit framework. We do not store payment information.

4. Apple Health

With your permission, DeathDay reads four categories of data from Apple Health: steps, sleep, resting heart rate, and blood pressure. This data is used only to refine your DeathDay estimate automatically, without you having to log it manually. DeathDay never writes to Apple Health. Data read from Apple Health is used only on your device and is never transmitted to us or to any third party. If you use Email My Report, the app opens your own Mail app with the report filled in. You send it yourself, and it never passes through our servers.

5. Email Communications

If you give us your email address, we use it only to send you DeathDay news and tips. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email.

6. Third-Party Services

DeathDay uses Apple's StoreKit for subscription management and in-app purchases. Apple's privacy policy governs data processed through StoreKit. We do not use third-party analytics, advertising SDKs, or tracking frameworks.

If you provide your email address, we use Kit (ConvertKit) to store it and to deliver email to you. Kit's privacy policy governs data processed through their service. DeathDay may also link to third-party websites and services, and we may earn a commission from purchases made through those links; no health or personal data is transmitted when you tap such a link.

7. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing or advertising purposes. We do not share your health data with anyone, ever.

We may disclose information if required by law or to protect our legal rights.

8. Children's Privacy

DeathDay is not intended for users under the age of 17. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

9. Your Rights

Because your data is stored locally on your device, you can delete all data at any time by using the "Reset all data" option in the app's Profile tab, or by deleting the app entirely from your device. This permanently removes all information DeathDay has collected.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes through the app. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
