HabitTracker Privacy Policy

Who we are and what this covers

HabitTracker is a personal habit tracker published by InningsApps.com (the "developer," "we," "us," or "our"). It helps you build good habits, quit ones you'd rather drop, set goals, log daily check-ins, and watch your streaks grow.

This policy covers the HabitTracker mobile app on Android and iOS (App ID com.innings.habit.tracker, version 1.0), built from a single shared codebase. It explains, in plain language, what information the app handles: the habits you create (which stay on your device) and the limited anonymous diagnostics the Android app sends to help us keep it working well.

For the anonymous diagnostics described below, InningsApps.com acts as the data controller, and Google (through Firebase) acts as our processor. If you ever have a question, you can reach us at apps.innings@gmail.com.

What you create, and where it's kept

When you use HabitTracker, you create content so the app can show you your progress. This includes:

• Habits — a name, an emoji or icon, a color, the type (build or quit), a category, a frequency (daily, specific days, or a number of times per week), an optional measurable target and unit, an optional reminder time, and any free-text notes you add.
• Goals — a title, an emoji, a color, a target value and unit, an optional deadline, and which habits are linked to the goal.
• Daily check-in logs — which habit you checked in for, the date, and a count.
• App settings — small things like whether you've completed onboarding and whether dark mode is turned on.

Every bit of this is saved only on your own device, inside the app's private storage. Technically, it's kept as a single tidy block of data (a JSON record under one key) in your device's standard app-preferences storage — SharedPreferences on Android and NSUserDefaults on iOS. This storage is private to the app.

This habit content is never uploaded anywhere. It is not sent to us and it is not sent to Firebase or any other service. The diagnostics described in the next section are about how the app is used and performs — never the substance of what you track.

What we collect

We deliberately keep this to the minimum needed to keep the app reliable — and it differs by platform.

On iOS — nothing

The iOS app includes no analytics, crash-reporting, or performance tools and no third-party SDKs. It collects no data and sends nothing off your device.

On Android — anonymous diagnostics via Google Firebase

To understand how the app is used, catch crashes, and keep it fast, the Android app uses three Google Firebase services: Google Analytics for Firebase, Firebase Crashlytics, and Firebase Performance Monitoring. Through these, Google collects limited, largely automatic information such as:

• Usage & interaction events — for example, that a screen was opened or a feature was used, and session information (when and how long the app is used).
• Crash & diagnostics data — crash reports and stack traces, and the app/device state at the time of a crash.
• Performance data — app start time, screen-rendering and responsiveness traces.
• Device & app information — device model, operating-system version, app version, language and coarse region, and app-instance / installation identifiers (and, where applicable, an advertising identifier) that Firebase uses to count devices and sessions.

This information is anonymous and aggregate — it is not tied to a name, email, or account (there is no account), and it does not include the content of your habits, goals, check-ins, or notes. We use it only to fix bugs, prioritise improvements, and understand which features are helpful. It is processed by Google as our service provider; see Google's Firebase privacy information and Google Privacy Policy.

Still no ads, no ad targeting, and no selling of data. We do not use this data to advertise to you, we do not build a marketing profile of you, and we never sell or rent it.

Turning it off: this version doesn't include an in-app toggle for diagnostics. Uninstalling the app stops all future collection; you can also limit ad-related identifiers in your Android system settings.

Permissions the app asks for

HabitTracker asks for no sensitive or user-facing permissions — no location, camera, microphone, contacts, photos, or files. You will never be prompted to grant access to a protected resource, because the app doesn't use any.

• On Android, the Firebase diagnostics libraries add ordinary network-related permissions to the app — notably INTERNET and ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE (and related entries such as WAKE_LOCK and an advertising-ID permission) — so the app can send anonymous diagnostics. These are normal permissions that are not prompted for and give no access to your personal content.
• On iOS, the app requests no permissions in its configuration.

A note about reminders

When you create a habit, you can optionally set a reminder time. That time is saved simply as a preference alongside the rest of your habit data on your device.

To be fully honest with you: this version of HabitTracker does not actually send notifications. There is no notification feature and no notification permission in the app. So think of the reminder time as a note you're saving for yourself, not an alert the app will push to you in version 1.0. We describe it this way so you aren't misled into expecting notifications the app doesn't send. If that changes in a future version, we'll update this policy to match.

About device backups

We want to be straightforward about one behavior that's out of our hands.

On Android, HabitTracker allows the system's own backup feature to include the app's data (android:allowBackup="true"). This means that if you have Android's backup turned on in your device settings, your habit data may be included in the backup that Android stores to your own Google account, right alongside your other apps' data.

• This backup is performed entirely by Android and Google, under your own account and your own device settings — the same way it works for any app. It is a feature of the operating system, not of our app.
• We never receive this backup and cannot access it. The data goes to your Google account, which is controlled by you and governed by Google's terms and privacy policy — not ours.
• You control it. If you'd rather the app's data not be backed up, you can turn off the relevant backup feature in your Android system settings and/or your Google account.

On iOS, any inclusion of app data in an iCloud or local device backup is likewise handled entirely by Apple, under your own account and settings. The developer has no access to it.

Sharing and selling your data

We never sell or rent your data, and we don't share it for advertising.

• We do not sell personal information.
• We do not "share" personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, as those terms are used under laws such as the CCPA/CPRA.
• We do not disclose your data to advertisers or data brokers.

The only third party that receives any data is Google (Firebase), which processes the anonymous Android diagnostics described above on our behalf, as our service provider, so we can keep the app stable and improve it. Your actual habit content is never shared with Google or anyone else — it stays on your device.

You're in control

You stay in charge of your habit data, which lives on your device:

• Edit or delete anytime. You can change or remove any individual habit or goal directly within the app whenever you like.
• Uninstall wipes it all. Removing HabitTracker from your device deletes all of its local habit data from that device and stops any further diagnostics from being sent.
• Diagnostics requests. Because the Android diagnostics are anonymous and not tied to an account, we generally can't single out "your" records — but if you have a question or request about them, email us and we'll help however we can.

(If you've enabled Android's system backup, a copy of your habit data may also exist in your own Google account backup, which you manage through your Android/Google settings — see "About device backups" above.)

Children's privacy

HabitTracker is designed for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13 (or the equivalent age in your region).

The app has no account, asks for no personal details, and keeps your habit content on your device. The anonymous diagnostics used on Android are aggregate measurements of app usage and stability, are not used to build a profile of any individual, and are not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe a child has provided us with information, contact us at apps.innings@gmail.com and we'll address it. This approach is intended to align with children's-privacy rules such as the U.S. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and the child-specific provisions of the EU GDPR (GDPR-K).

Your rights (GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, and beyond)

Privacy laws such as the EU/UK GDPR and California's CCPA/CPRA give you rights over personal data. Below is how they apply to HabitTracker, where the only data that leaves your device is the anonymous Android diagnostics described above.

Lawful basis (GDPR). Where the anonymous diagnostics amount to personal data, we rely on our legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f)) in keeping the app stable, secure, and improving — balanced against your privacy by keeping the data anonymous, minimal, and never used for advertising. Your habit content is processed only locally on your own device, under your control, and is never transmitted to us.

Your GDPR rights

• Access: Your habit data is already fully visible to you inside the app. For the anonymous diagnostics, we hold no account-linked profile to disclose about you.
• Rectification: You can correct any of your data directly by editing your habits and goals.
• Erasure: Delete items in the app, or uninstall it to remove all local data and stop diagnostics. Diagnostics already collected are anonymous and are retained by Google for a limited period under Firebase's defaults.
• Restriction & objection: You may object to our legitimate-interests processing of diagnostics; the practical way to stop it today is to uninstall the app, and you can contact us with any concern.
• Portability: Your habit data resides on your own device; we hold no account copy to port.
• Automated decisions & profiling: We do not profile you or make automated decisions about you.

Your CCPA/CPRA rights

• Know / access: We collect only anonymous diagnostics (app-activity, diagnostics, and device identifiers categories) and no directly identifying personal information.
• Delete: Remove your on-device data via the app or by uninstalling; anonymous diagnostics are handled by our processor under Firebase's retention defaults.
• Correct: You can correct your data yourself within the app.
• Opt out of sale or sharing: We do not sell or share personal information, so there is nothing to opt out of.
• Limit use of sensitive personal information: We do not collect sensitive personal information.
• Non-discrimination: You are never treated differently for exercising any privacy right.

International transfers & retention. The anonymous Android diagnostics are processed by Google on infrastructure that may be located in the United States and other countries, under Google's safeguards for international transfers. We operate no servers of our own, and your habit content is never transmitted off your device. Diagnostics are retained by Google for a limited period per Firebase's defaults; your habit data stays on your device for as long as you keep the app installed.

How this maps to app-store privacy labels

For transparency, here is how HabitTracker maps to the standardized privacy disclosures required by the app stores. These labels reflect exactly the same facts described throughout this policy — including that diagnostics apply to the Android app, while the iOS app collects nothing.

On Google Play, the collected data is limited to anonymous usage, crash/performance diagnostics, and device identifiers gathered by Firebase; it is encrypted in transit, is not sold, and is not used for advertising. You can stop future collection by uninstalling the app, and you may contact us with a data request. Android's operating-system backup (android:allowBackup="true") is a device/OS feature under your own Google account, separate from this collection.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time — for example, if a future version of the app adds or removes a feature that changes how information is handled (such as bringing diagnostics to iOS, or adding notifications). If we make changes, we'll revise the "Last updated" date at the top and, where appropriate, update the corresponding app-store privacy disclosures.

This version is effective as of 12 July 2026 and applies to HabitTracker version 1.0.

The short answer to most privacy questions is the same: HabitTracker keeps your habit data on your device, and the only thing the Android app ever sends is anonymous diagnostics to help us keep it working well.
