Privacy Policies

This Privacy Policy describes how Back 2 Basics CPU Meter ("the App") handles information on your device. We are committed to protecting your privacy. The short version: the App collects no personal data, sends no data anywhere, and stores only your in-app preferences locally on your Mac.

1. Information We Do Not Collect

The App does not collect, transmit, store remotely, or share:

• Personal identifiers (name, email, Apple ID, device ID)
• Location data
• Usage analytics or crash reports
• Browsing history or activity outside the App
• Any data from other applications running on your Mac

2. System Data Accessed Locally

To display CPU, RAM, and GPU metrics, the App reads real-time performance statistics from macOS system interfaces (Mach kernel APIs and IOKit). This data is:

• Read-only — the App never modifies system state
• Processed entirely on your device
• Never stored to disk beyond the current session
• Never transmitted over a network

This is equivalent to what macOS's own Activity Monitor displays and is standard practice for system monitoring utilities.

3. Preferences Stored on Your Device

The App saves your settings (refresh interval, which stats to display, and whether to launch at login) using macOS UserDefaults. This data:

• Stays entirely on your Mac
• Is never transmitted or shared
• Can be cleared by deleting the App or resetting its preferences via Terminal

4. No Network Connections

The App makes no network requests of any kind. It has no servers, no analytics endpoints, no update checks, and no third-party SDKs.

5. No Third-Party Services

The App does not integrate any third-party advertising, analytics, tracking, or data-sharing frameworks.

6. Children's Privacy

The App does not collect information from anyone, including children under the age of 13. It is fully compliant with COPPA.

7. Changes to This Policy

If this privacy policy changes, the updated version will be posted at this URL with a new effective date. Because no personal data is collected, changes are unlikely to affect your privacy in any meaningful way.

Overview

Ask AI is an iPhone and Apple Watch application that allows you to send questions to the Claude AI, powered by Anthropic's API. This policy explains what data the app uses, where it goes, and what we do not collect.

Data We Do Not Collect

We do not collect, store, transmit, or have access to any of the following:

• Your name, email address, or any personal identifiers
• Your AI queries or conversation history
• Your Claude API key
• Device identifiers or usage analytics
• Crash reports or diagnostic data
• Location data

How the App Works

Your API Key

Ask AI requires you to supply your own Claude API key obtained from Anthropic (console.anthropic.com). This key is stored exclusively in your iPhone's secure Keychain. It never leaves your device except to authenticate directly with Anthropic's servers on your behalf. We have no access to it.

Your Queries

When you enter a question on your Apple Watch, it is transmitted via Apple's WatchConnectivity framework to your paired iPhone. Your iPhone then sends the query directly to Anthropic's Claude API using your own API key. The response is returned to your Watch for display. At no point does any query or response pass through our servers. We do not see, log, or store your questions or Claude's answers.

Conversation History

Conversation history (used to maintain context within a session) is held in memory on your device only. It is not written to disk and is cleared when you start a new conversation or close the app.

Third-Party Services

The app communicates with one external service: Anthropic (api.anthropic.com)

Your queries are sent directly from your iPhone to Anthropic's API using your own API key. Anthropic's handling of this data is governed by their Privacy Policy at anthropic.com/privacy and their Terms of Service. We recommend reviewing Anthropic's policies to understand how they handle API request data.

Apple Frameworks

The app uses the following Apple system frameworks, none of which transmit data to us:

• WatchConnectivity — to relay queries between your Watch and iPhone
• Keychain Services — to securely store your API key on your device

Children's Privacy

Ask AI is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children. The app requires a paid Anthropic API account, which itself requires users to be 18 or older.

Changes to This Policy

If we make material changes to this policy we will update the Effective Date above. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
