1. Information We Collect
Stored on your iPhone
Your habits, completion history and reminders are stored only on your iPhone and stay there until you delete them or the App. If you export your data, the resulting file is under your control.
Sent from the App
The App creates a random anonymous ID, which remains on your iPhone even if you reinstall the App. We do not ask for your name or email address. The App sends usage analytics linked to this ID, including:
- Sessions, screens viewed and actions in the App
- Habit details: name, color, icon and a random ID
- Completion dates, streak counts, and reminder times and days
- App version, platform, operating system, device manufacturer and model, carrier and language
- An identifier Apple assigns to our apps on your device
- Your IP address, used to estimate your country, region and city
You are not legally or contractually required to provide this data, but it is collected automatically when you use the App. To stop this collection, delete the App.
When you contact us
If you email us, we receive your email address and the contents of your message.
When you visit the Site
Our hosting provider receives your IP address and browser details in order to deliver the page.
2. How We Use Your Information
- To maintain, operate and improve the App
- To understand how the App and its features are used
- To diagnose problems
- To respond to your questions and requests
- To deliver and protect the Site
- To comply with legal obligations
We do not make decisions about you based solely on automated processing that have legal or similarly significant effects.
3. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)
| Activity | Legal basis |
|---|---|
| Anonymous ID and usage analytics | Legitimate interest in understanding and improving the App (Article 6(1)(f)) |
| Responding to your messages | Legitimate interest in providing support (Article 6(1)(f)) |
| Delivering and protecting the Site | Legitimate interest in operating the Site securely (Article 6(1)(f)) |
| Meeting legal requirements | Legal obligation (Article 6(1)(c)) |
4. Sharing Your Information
We do not sell personal data. We share it only as described below.
- Service providers. Google provides the anonymous ID and our email service, Amplitude, Inc. provides analytics, and Cloudflare, Inc. hosts the Site. These providers process data under their own terms and privacy policies.
- Legal requirements. We may disclose information where required by law or to protect our rights, users or the public.
- Business transfers. If the App is sold or transferred, related data may be transferred to the new owner under this Policy.
5. Cookies and Analytics
The Site does not set cookies or load analytics. Analytics in the App are described in Section 1.
6. International Data Transfers
Google and Amplitude process data in the United States, and Cloudflare may process data in other countries. Where personal data leaves the European Economic Area, these transfers rely on the EU–US Data Privacy Framework or Standard Contractual Clauses.
7. Security
Data sent from the App travels over encrypted connections, and the anonymous ID is stored in protected storage on your iPhone. No system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Data Retention
We keep analytics data and the anonymous ID only for as long as needed for the purposes described in this Policy. We keep messages for as long as needed to handle your request and meet legal obligations. Data on your iPhone remains until you delete it or the App.
9. Your Rights
Under the GDPR, you may have the right to:
- Access your personal data and receive a copy of it
- Correct inaccurate data
- Delete your data
- Restrict or object to its processing
- Receive your data in a portable format
- Complain to a supervisory authority, which in the Netherlands is the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens
To make a request, email habitiles@gmail.com. We will respond within the period required by applicable law. Because the App has no accounts, we may need information from you to identify the data concerned, and we may be unable to act on a request if we cannot identify it.
10. Children's Privacy
We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 16. If you believe a child has provided personal data through the App, please contact us and we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
11. Links to Other Sites
The Site links to third-party services, including the App Store. We are not responsible for their privacy practices.
12. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time. Changes take effect when posted on this page.
