The Check-In Method app is designed to help you reflect on how you are doing and notice changes over time — without turning your personal use of the app into an individual report for your employer.
Your employer should be able to understand whether the app is helping people in the organisation. Your employer should not receive a report about you as an individual.
The short version
When you use the app:
- We do not ask for your name, email, phone number, or job title.
- We do not give your employer an individual report about your app usage.
- Your access is connected to a random token — not to you by name.
Your employer may receive aggregate information only — such as how many people used the app, how often, and whether users as a group report feeling better over time.
Your employer should see the forest, not the individual trees.
Why you are receiving a token
The token confirms that you are eligible to use the app without requiring us to collect your name, email address, or phone number. It is not intended to create an individual employer-facing profile about you.
What we do not collect
- Your name
- Your personal or work email address
- Your phone number
- Your job title or manager's name
- Your home address or government ID number
What the app may collect
- Your app token or internal identifier
- When you first began using the app
- How often the app is used and which parts
- Check-in information you choose to provide
- Changes in self-reported energy, contentment, or wellbeing
- Technical information needed to keep the app secure
What your employer can see
Aggregate information only — for example: "63 of 100 eligible people used the app" or "as a group, users reported higher energy after several weeks." Your employer does not see your individual token, check-in history, or personal trend line.
How aggregate reporting protects privacy
Information is combined across many users before being shared. Reports use safeguards such as minimum group sizes, rounding, and no individual-level exports — to reduce the risk that aggregate data could identify a specific person.
Your personal use
Your individual check-ins should not be used by your employer to evaluate your performance, discipline you, rank you, or make employment decisions about you. If you are ever concerned that the app is being used this way, please contact us.
Legal and privacy principles
We design the app in line with widely recognised privacy principles including data minimisation, purpose limitation, transparency, and security. For EU/EEA users, our design supports General Data Protection Regulation principles. For UK users, it supports UK data protection law. For users in the United States and elsewhere, we follow responsible privacy and security practices.
Our basic promise: We want The Check-In Method app to help people feel better, not feel watched. We aim to protect your individual privacy while helping your organisation understand, in aggregate, whether the app is being used and whether it is helping.
