Hatchr Privacy Policy

Last updated October 28, 2026. Hatchr is made by Lawlor Solutions, LLC.

What Hatchr keeps

Your habits, animals, pellets and progress are stored on your device and, if you're signed in to iCloud, in your own private iCloud account so your game follows you to a new phone. We can't see your iCloud data. We don't have accounts and don't sell or share your data.

Photo proof

Hatchr asks before checking any photo, and you can turn photo checks off in Settings at any time. When you prove a habit with photo checks on, a small copy of the photo is sent to our server and passed through OpenRouter to an AI model that checks whether it shows your habit, with zero data retention, then discarded. Photos are never stored and nobody else sees them.

App Attest and limits

To stop abuse, the app proves it is genuine with Apple App Attest, and the server counts checks per device per day. These counts expire within about a day.

Notifications

If you allow notifications, your device's push token is stored so we can send egg alerts and occasional offers and news, along with the app version, your time zone and region setting, whether you have Hatchr Plus, and when you installed and last opened Hatchr, so a message reaches the right players at a sensible time. Streak reminders are scheduled on your device. Turn off offers and news in Hatchr's Settings, or all notifications in the Settings app, at any time.

How Hatchr is used

To learn what works, the app sends us anonymous usage events, like reaching a step of the introduction, opening Hatchr Plus, or sharing a video, with a random ID made when the app is installed, the app version, days since install, and your answer to "Where did you hear about Hatchr?" (which RevenueCat also keeps). They aren't linked to your name, Apple Account or habits, never include habit names or photos, and aren't used to track you across other companies' apps or websites.

Purchases

Purchases are handled by Apple and RevenueCat, which receive an anonymous app user ID and your purchase history to deliver what you buy and restore it. We never see your payment details.

Screen Time (Phone Lock)

Phone Lock uses Apple's Screen Time APIs on your device. The apps you choose stay on your device and are never sent to us.

Children

Hatchr is suitable for families and does not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Deleting your data

Delete the app, then remove Hatchr's iCloud data in Settings → your name → iCloud → Manage Account Storage (or Saved to iCloud) → Hatchr.
