$ cat what_we_collect.txt

This policy covers two contexts: the inithabits.com website, and the init.Habits iOS app.

Website. When you sign up for the init.Habits beta or updates list, we collect your email address and whether you opted in to receive dev updates. When we send you emails, we track which links you click to understand engagement and send relevant follow-ups. That's the only personal data we collect on the website.

App — habit data. All habit data you create in the app (habits, routines, completions, streaks, settings) is stored locally on your device. If you enable iCloud sync, this data is synced through your personal iCloud account via Apple's CloudKit. We have no access to this data.

App — feedback messages. If you send a message or screenshot through the in-app feedback feature, that content is transmitted to and stored on a server in the EU. We use it solely to respond to your feedback and improve the app.

App — anonymous analytics. The app sends anonymous usage signals to TelemetryDeck. These signals contain no personally identifiable information — no name, email, device ID, or IP address is ever stored.

Website — anonymous analytics. When you visit inithabits.com, we collect anonymous page view data using TelemetryDeck and Umami. Both are privacy-focused, cookieless analytics tools. They collect the page you loaded, the approximate time of the visit, the referring website (if any), and your approximate country. Your IP address is not stored.

// no cookies. no advertising. no personal data sold. ever.
$ cat why_we_collect.txt

Your email (website) is used solely to send you the TestFlight invite and — if you opted in — occasional development updates. Link click data is used to send relevant follow-up emails (for example, a reminder if you haven't joined TestFlight yet). We will not use your email for anything else.

Feedback messages (app) are used to respond to your report and improve the app. They are not shared with third parties.

Anonymous analytics (app and website) are used to understand how the app and site are being used, identify crashes and issues, and prioritise improvements.

$ cat legal_basis.txt

We process your email address on the basis of your consent — given when you submit the sign-up form. Feedback messages are processed on the basis of your consent — given when you choose to send them. Anonymous analytics are processed on the basis of legitimate interest.

We are based in the Netherlands. This policy is written to meet GDPR requirements.

$ cat changes.txt

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the date at the top of this page. We encourage you to check back occasionally. Continued use of the app or website after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.

$ cat cookies.txt

We don't use cookies. Your theme preference and visit state are stored locally in your browser and never sent to our servers — this data is cleared when you close the tab.
