SideMission — Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 4, 2026

The short version: The SideMission app has no accounts, no advertising SDK, and no behavioral analytics. Your profile, missions, photos, journal, and streak live on your device. Subscriptions are verified through Apple and RevenueCat. The website waitlist collects your email only if you submit it.

App data we collect

SideMission does not operate an account, profile, mission, photo, journal, location, advertising, or behavioral analytics backend. The app does not send your quiz answers, mission history, proof photos, journal entries, streak, or raw coordinates to a SideMission server.

Data stored on your device

Your quiz answers (mission profile), active mission state, journal entries, proof photos, streak, and any location-proof city or region label are stored locally on your device only. You can erase everything at any time from Settings → Erase all data, or by deleting the app.

Camera

The camera is used only when you choose to capture a proof photo for a mission you completed. Photos are saved locally into your journal and are shared only when you explicitly use the share button.

Location

Some missions offer a location-based proof. When you use it, the app performs a one-time, on-device presence check. It may also turn that one-time check into a city- or region-level label for your proof card and journal. Your coordinates are never stored and never leave your device. The yes/no "verified" flag and optional city or region label stay on your device.

Subscriptions

SideMission+ is billed through your Apple ID via the App Store and verified with RevenueCat so the app can unlock active subscriptions and restore purchases. We never see or store your payment details. RevenueCat receives the purchase and receipt information needed to verify SideMission+ status. Apple's handling of App Store data is described in Apple's own privacy policy. You can manage or cancel the subscription anytime in your App Store account settings.

Website waitlist

If you join the waitlist on trysidemission.com, we collect the email address you submit. The form is sent through our email provider, Resend, and may also copy the SideMission owner inbox for follow-up. We use that email only for SideMission launch and product updates. After you click the confirmation link we email you, your address is retained as a contact in Resend (a US-based email processor) until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it. You can ask us to delete it or stop emailing you at support@trysidemission.com.

Children

SideMission is not directed at children under 13. The app does not collect mission content from anyone, and the website waitlist is not intended for children.

Changes

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted at this address with a new date.
