Contact: hussainint08@gmail.com (privacy and support).

1. Who this policy applies to

HabitSwipe is a social habit, goal, and routine tracker. You can keep data private to your account and optionally share progress, photos, notes, and messages with people you invite (for example a partner, roommate, or inner circle). The Services are intended for users 13 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

2. Information we collect

Account and profile

Name, display name, email address, and sign-in identifiers you provide
Profile photo or avatar, if you add one
Authentication tokens from Apple, Google, or email sign-in, if you use them

User content (app functionality)

Habits, goals, routines, categories, reminders, check-ins, streaks, and numeric values you log
Notes, journals, photos, videos, and audio you attach to a day or share with friends
Messages, reactions, and other communications you send inside a circle
Friend or invite relationships (who you invite and who accepts)

Device, usage, and diagnostics

App interactions, screens viewed, feature use, and crash logs
Device type, OS version, language, time zone, and approximate country or region
Performance and diagnostic data used to keep the app stable

Purchases

If you buy a subscription or one-time upgrade, Apple App Store or Google Play process the payment. We receive confirmation of entitlement (for example, Pro status and expiry). We do not store full payment card numbers.

Website

Our marketing site may collect standard server logs (IP address, browser type, pages viewed) needed to operate and secure the site. We do not use the website to sell advertising.

Permissions

The app may request access to notifications, camera, photo library, and microphone only to provide features you choose (reminders, photos, voice notes). You can deny or later revoke permissions in device settings. We do not require precise location to use core tracking.

3. How we use information

Provide, sync, and display your habits, goals, routines, and progress
Let you invite close friends and share the content you choose with them
Send reminders and notifications you configure
Process in-app purchases and restore entitlements
Improve reliability, fix bugs, and understand which features work
Prevent abuse, spam, fraud, and violations of our Terms
Respond to support requests and legal obligations

We do not sell your personal information. We do not show third-party ads in the app. We do not use your habit photos or messages to train public AI models.

4. How sharing works (social features)

Content you mark as shared is visible to the people in that circle. People you invite can see the progress, photos, or messages you send them. Do not share content you are not comfortable showing those people. You can leave a circle or remove a friend where the product allows. Blocking and reporting tools are provided so you can stop unwanted contact.

We may review reports of abuse and remove content or accounts that violate the law or our Terms, including harassment, sexual content involving minors, hate, spam, or illegal activity.

5. Who we share information with

Other users you choose — friends in a circle see what you share with them.
Service providers — cloud hosting, databases, authentication, crash reporting, email, and customer support, acting on our instructions.
Apple and Google — app distribution, push delivery, and in-app purchases.
Legal and safety — if required by law, to protect rights and safety, or in connection with a merger or sale of assets, with notice where required.

We do not sell or rent contact lists or habit data to data brokers.

6. International transfers

We are established in India and may process data on servers in India, the United States, or other countries where our providers operate. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for transfers (for example contractual clauses).

7. Retention

We keep account and habit data while your account is active. If you delete your account or request deletion, we delete or anonymize personal data within a reasonable period, except where we must retain records for security, fraud prevention, tax, or legal compliance. Backups may persist for a limited time before they are overwritten. Content you shared with friends may remain on their devices until they delete it.

8. Your choices and rights

Access, correct, or update profile and habit data in the app
Turn off notifications in device or app settings
Revoke camera, photos, or microphone permission in system settings
Request a copy or deletion of your account by emailing us from your registered address
Stop sharing by removing friends or deleting shared posts where available

Depending on where you live (including the EEA, UK, and certain US states), you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or port your data, and to object to certain processing. You may also lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. California residents: we do not “sell” or “share” personal information as those terms are used in the CCPA/CPRA for cross-context advertising.

To exercise rights, email hussainint08@gmail.com with the subject “Privacy request”. We may need to verify your identity.

9. Account deletion

You can request deletion at any time by emailing hussainint08@gmail.com from the email on your account, or by using in-app account deletion if shown in Settings. We will delete personal data associated with the account as described in Retention, typically within 30 days.

10. Security

We use administrative, technical, and organizational measures appropriate to a consumer social app, including encrypted transit (HTTPS/TLS) and access controls on servers. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. Please use a strong password and only invite people you trust.

11. Children’s privacy

The Services are not directed to children under 13. If we learn we collected personal information from a child under 13, we will delete it. Users 13–17 should use the app with parent or guardian guidance. The App Store age rating reflects in-app messaging and user-generated content.

12. Third-party links and stores

Links to Apple, Google, or other sites are governed by those parties’ policies. Payments and store reviews are handled by Apple or Google, not by us.

13. Changes

We may update this Policy. The “Last updated” date will change, and for material changes we will provide additional notice in the app or by email where appropriate. Continued use after the update means you accept the revised Policy.
