Eight Angle

Privacy Policy

April 3, 2026

Effective date: April 3, 2026

Introduction

Brian Rohde (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates Eight Angle, a yoga pose detection and practice tracking application for iOS. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices regarding your data.

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

Information We Collect

Camera Data

Eight Angle requires camera access to detect yoga poses during practice sessions. All pose detection processing occurs entirely on your device using on-device machine learning models (Apple Vision framework and Google MediaPipe). Camera frames are never transmitted to our servers or any third party. Practice recordings are stored locally on your device and, if you enable iCloud Sync, in your private iCloud account.

Analytics Data

We use PostHog, a third-party analytics service hosted in the United States, to collect anonymous usage data that helps us improve the app. This includes:

  • App usage events (screens viewed, features used)
  • Practice session activity (session start/stop, pose counts, duration)
  • Navigation patterns (tab switches)
  • Subscription-related events (upgrade views, purchase completions)
  • Device information (device model, operating system version, screen size)
  • An anonymous device identifier generated by PostHog (not your Apple ID or any personal identifier)

We also set anonymous user properties to understand usage patterns, including subscription status, total practice count, and app version. These properties are not linked to your identity.

Analytics data does not include personally identifiable information (PII). We do not collect your name, email address, or any personal contact information through analytics. We do not use session replay or screen recording.

You can opt out of analytics at any time in the app’s Settings.

iCloud Data (Paid Feature)

If you subscribe to Eight Angle and enable iCloud Sync, the following data is synced to your private iCloud account via Apple CloudKit:

  • Practice session metadata and thumbnails
  • Badges and achievements
  • Intentions
  • Bookmarks

Video recordings sync only over WiFi by default. You may enable cellular sync in Settings. All iCloud data is stored in your personal iCloud account and is not accessible to us.

Subscription Data

Your subscription state is stored securely in your device’s Keychain and may sync across your Apple devices via iCloud Keychain. All purchase transactions are processed by Apple through the App Store. We do not collect or store your payment information.

Photo Library Access

Eight Angle allows you to export practice videos and images to your device’s photo library. This requires your permission to save to the photo library. We do not read or access any other content in your photo library.

What We Do Not Collect

  • We do not require user accounts — no email, password, or personal information is needed to use Eight Angle
  • We do not collect health or fitness data through Apple HealthKit
  • We do not collect location data
  • We do not sell your data to third parties

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide and maintain the app’s functionality
  • Understand how features are used to improve the app experience
  • Manage subscription access and trial periods
  • Diagnose technical issues

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we process your data on the following legal bases:

  • Contract performance: Processing necessary to provide app functionality, including iCloud Sync and subscription management
  • Legitimate interest: Anonymous analytics to improve the app experience, where our interest does not override your rights
  • Consent: You may opt in or out of analytics at any time in Settings

Third-Party Services

Eight Angle integrates with the following third-party services:

  • Apple (App Store, iCloud, StoreKit) — Handles purchases, cloud storage, and device synchronization. See Apple’s Privacy Policy.
  • PostHog (Analytics) — Processes anonymous usage events. No personally identifiable information or session recordings are shared. See PostHog’s Privacy Policy.
  • Google MediaPipe (Pose Detection) — Used for on-device pose detection. All processing occurs locally on your device. No data is transmitted to Google. See Google’s Privacy Policy.

We do not share your data with any other third parties.

International Data Transfers

Analytics data is processed by PostHog in the United States. If you are located in the European Economic Area, your analytics data may be transferred to and processed in the United States under Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission. All other data (practice recordings, iCloud data) remains on your device or in your personal iCloud account.

Data Retention

  • On-device data (practice recordings, app data): Controlled entirely by you. Delete the app or its data at any time through your device settings.
  • iCloud data: Stored in your personal iCloud account and subject to Apple’s retention policies. You can delete synced data by removing it from the app or managing your iCloud storage.
  • Analytics data: Retained by PostHog according to their data retention policies. You can opt out of future collection at any time in Settings.
