Privacy Policy

WTINL is run by its founder, Mihail Mihovski. This policy covers the website whythereisnoluck.com and the WTINL app for iPhone. Questions or requests: whythereisnoluck@gmail.com.

When you create an account:

• Your name, email address and password (stored only as a secure hash, never in plain text).
• Your language choice.

When you use WTINL:

• Your routine: the promises you add or edit, which ones you tick off and on which days, and your daily notes.
• Your goals, weekly planner, private journal entries and 30-day challenge progress.
• What you choose to share publicly: community chat messages and reactions, posts on the Wall of proof, and reviews. You can post on the wall and reviews without your name.
• How many AI coach messages you sent today, so we can apply the daily limit.

Without an account, the routine is saved only in your own browser or app on your device. If you later create an account, you can bring that progress with you.

• To run your account, routine, dashboard, challenges and community features.
• To personalise the AI coach with your routine, streak and goals.
• To email you about WTINL, for example a check-in or a request for a review. You can reply “stop” at any time and we won’t email you again.
• To keep the community safe: reported chat messages are reviewed by the founder, who can remove messages or block an account from the chat.

The AI coach and the WTINL assistant are powered by Google Gemini. When you send a message, your message, the recent conversation and (for members) a short summary of your routine progress are sent to Google to generate the reply. We use Gemini’s free tier, under which Google may use these conversations to improve its services, so please don’t share private details such as your address, school or health conditions.

WTINL does not store your coach conversations on our servers. They are kept only on your device.

• Vercel: hosts the website and app.
• Neon: our database, hosted in Frankfurt, Germany (EU).
• Google: Gemini for the AI coach, and Gmail for our own inbox.
• Resend: sends our emails.
• Instagram (Meta): we show posts from our own Instagram account; we don’t share your data with Instagram.

We use two cookies: one that keeps you signed in, and one that remembers your language. Your device also stores things like your routine as a guest, your coach conversations and your notification settings. We don’t use analytics, advertising or tracking cookies.

Reminders in the iPhone app (daily reminder, reminders at the time of your promises, the daily 2-minute challenge, evening streak saver, challenge days and the Sunday recap) are scheduled on your phone itself. They only run if you allow notifications, and you can switch each one off in Settings or turn them all off in your iPhone settings.

Focus lock is optional. If you turn it on, WTINL uses Apple’s Screen Time framework (Family Controls) so you can choose apps to lock until you keep a promise. You choose the apps in Apple’s own picker. WTINL only receives anonymous tokens from Apple: we can’t see which apps you chose, how you use them or how much time you spend on your phone, and nothing about it is sent to our servers.

The home-screen widget shows your streak, today’s progress and your next promise. That information stays on your phone and is only shared between the WTINL app and its widget.

You can turn focus lock off any time in Settings, or remove WTINL’s access in iPhone Settings → Screen Time.

• Download everything you have stored: Dashboard → Settings → Export data.
• Change your name or password in Settings.
• Delete your account: Dashboard → Settings → Delete account. This permanently removes your account, routine, history, journal and shared posts.
• Delete your review or wall posts yourself at any time.
• For anything else, including access or correction requests, email whythereisnoluck@gmail.com. If you live in the EU, you can also contact your local data protection authority.

WTINL is made for young people. If you are under 16, please ask a parent or guardian before creating an account. If you are a parent and think your child shared personal data with us, email us and we will delete it.

We keep your data while your account exists. When you delete your account, your data is deleted from our database.

If we change this policy, we will update the date at the top of this page. For important changes, we will let members know by email or in the app.
