Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 4, 2026
Habigrow is a habit, mood and sleep tracker. This policy explains what the Habigrow app and website collect, why, who we share it with, and the choices you have. “We” means Habigrow, operated by Sahil Ranout, India. Contact: support@habigrow.com.
1. The short version
- Your habits, check-ins, notes, moods and sleep logs are stored on your phone. We never receive them.
- If you turn on backup, a copy goes to your own Google Drive, in a hidden app folder only Habigrow can use. We can't read it.
- An account is optional. If you create one, we store your name, email and a few details about your device.
- The free app and our website show ads. In the UK, EU and Switzerland, ads are personalised only if you agree, and on iPhone only if you allow tracking.
- We use Google Firebase to understand how the app is used and to fix crashes, and RevenueCat to manage subscriptions.
- We don't sell your personal information for money.
2. What we collect
Stored only on your phone (we never receive it)
- Habits, goals, check-ins, streaks and notes
- Mood logs and sleep logs
- Focus timer sessions and app settings
Our analytics record that something happened (for example “a mood was logged”), never what you wrote or how you felt.
If you create an account
- Name, username and email address
- Optional: phone number, gender and date of birth
- Your profile photo, if you sign in with Google or Apple
- Sign-in details from Firebase Authentication, Google or Apple
- Device details sent when you sign in: device ID, device name, manufacturer and model, operating system and version, app version, language, country, time zone, screen size and push notification token
Collected automatically, with or without an account
- App activity: screens viewed, features used, sessions, purchases and subscription events (Google Analytics for Firebase)
- Crash reports and app performance: stack traces, device state at the time of a crash, load times (Firebase Crashlytics and Performance Monitoring)
- Identifiers: Firebase installation ID, app instance ID, push notification token and, for ads, your device's advertising ID
- Approximate location (country or city level), worked out from your IP address. We never use GPS.
On our website
- Pages visited, links clicked, browser and device type, and approximate location from your IP address (Google Analytics)
- Cookies and similar technologies used by Google AdSense to show and measure ads. Google and its partners may use them to show ads based on your visits to this and other sites.
- Anything you send us through the contact form
Purchases
Apple or Google takes your payment; we never see your card details. RevenueCat receives your purchase history and an anonymous customer ID, plus your name and email if you're signed in, so your subscription works on all your devices.
3. Why we use it, and our legal basis
| Purpose | Data | Legal basis (UK/EU) |
|---|---|---|
| Run your account and keep you signed in | Account and device details | Contract |
| Unlock premium and restore purchases | Purchase history, customer ID | Contract |
| Send reminders and notifications you turned on | Push token | Contract; consent for notifications |
| Fix crashes and keep the app fast | Crash and performance data | Legitimate interests |
| Understand which features help people build habits | App activity, identifiers | Legitimate interests; consent where the law requires it |
| Show ads in the free version | Advertising ID, IP-based location, ad interactions | Consent for personalised ads; legitimate interests for non-personalised ads |

5. Your ad and tracking choices
- UK, EU and Switzerland: the app asks for your consent before showing personalised ads. Change your choice any time in Settings → Privacy choices.
- iPhone: after your first check-in, iOS asks whether Habigrow may track you. If you say no, ads aren't personalised.
- Android: you can delete or reset your advertising ID in your phone's Google settings.
- Website: visitors in the UK, EU and Switzerland are asked for consent before personalised ads. Anyone can turn off personalised Google ads at adssettings.google.com or opt out of many third-party vendors at aboutads.info. See how Google uses data from partner sites.
- Premium: subscribers see no ads in the app.
6. How long we keep it
- Account data: until you delete your account. We then delete it within 30 days.
- Analytics data: 14 months, then deleted by Google.
- Crash reports: 90 days.
- Purchase records: as long as Apple, Google and tax law require.
- Data on your phone and in your Drive backup: until you delete it. We can't delete it for you.
7. Your rights
Wherever you live, you can ask us to show you, correct or delete the personal information we hold about you. Email support@habigrow.com from your account email, or use Settings → Account → Delete account. We reply within 30 days.
- UK, EU and Switzerland: you can also object to processing based on legitimate interests, restrict processing, ask for a copy in a portable format, and withdraw consent at any time. You may complain to your local data protection authority.
- California and other US states: you have the right to know, delete and correct, and to opt out of the “sharing” of personal information for targeted ads. Opt out in Settings → Privacy choices, by turning off ad personalisation on your phone, or by emailing us. We won't treat you differently for using these rights. We don't use sensitive personal information to infer characteristics about you.
8. Children
Habigrow isn't directed at children under 13 (under 16 in the UK and EU). We don't knowingly collect their personal information. If you think a child has given us information, email us and we'll delete it.
9. International transfers
We're based in India, and our providers process data in the United States, the EU and other countries. When data leaves the UK or EU, our providers rely on safeguards approved by the authorities there, such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.
10. Security
All data sent between the app and our services is encrypted in transit (HTTPS). Data on your phone is protected by your phone's own security. No method is perfectly secure, so we keep what we collect to the minimum.
11. Changes to this policy
When we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top. For significant changes we'll also tell you in the app.
