Effective Date: February 14, 2026. Here Habits, LLC (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), a Delaware limited liability company, operates the Here Habits mobile application (the “App”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our App. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not use the App.
1. Information We Collect
1.1 Information You Provide Directly
When you create an account and use the App, we may collect the following information that you voluntarily provide:
• Account information: name, email address, and authentication method (Apple Sign In, Google Sign In, or email).
• Profile information: gender, avatar selection, and age.
• Habit data: habit names, descriptions, completion records, session history, and related configurations.
• Onboarding responses: your answers to onboarding questions, including your motivations for reducing phone usage and your estimated daily screen time.
• Social data: friend connections, email addresses used for friend requests, and block lists.
• Support communications: any messages you send to us via email or other channels.
1.2 Information Collected Automatically
When you use the App, certain information may be collected automatically:
• Device information: device model, operating system version, and unique device identifiers.
• Usage data: app interaction data, feature usage patterns, and crash reports (collected via Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics).
• Approximate location: country or region derived from your IP address, collected by our payment processor (RevenueCat) for tax and currency determination purposes. We do not collect precise location data.
• Screen Time data: when you authorize Screen Time features, the App accesses device usage data through Apple’s DeviceActivity framework to provide app-blocking and usage monitoring features. This data is processed on your device and is not transmitted to our servers.
1.3 Information from Third-Party Services
If you sign in using Apple or Google, we receive basic profile information (name and email) as provided by those services. If you use Apple’s Hide My Email feature, we receive the relay email address rather than your personal email.
How We Use and Share Your Information
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
• To create and manage your account and provide our core habit-tracking and screen time management services.
• To personalize your experience, including avatar display and onboarding flow customization.
• To enable social features, including friend connections and shared progress.
• To process subscription payments and manage your Pro membership (via RevenueCat and Apple’s In-App Purchase system).
• To analyze usage patterns, diagnose technical issues, and improve the App (via Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics).
• To measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns and user acquisition (via Adjust, when implemented).
• To communicate with you regarding your account, support requests, or important updates to the App or this Privacy Policy.
• To enforce our Terms & Conditions and protect against fraud or misuse.
3. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We may share your information in the following limited circumstances:
3.1 Service Providers
We use trusted third-party service providers to operate the App. These providers have access to your information only to perform specific tasks on our behalf and are obligated to protect it:
Provider | Purpose | Data Shared
Firebase (Google) | Authentication, database, analytics, crash reporting | Account data, usage analytics, crash logs
RevenueCat | Subscription management | User ID, purchase receipts, approximate location (country)
Adjust | Attribution and marketing analytics | Device identifiers, install/event data
Apple (Screen Time) | Device usage management | Processed on-device only; not transmitted to our servers
3.2 Social Features
When you use friend features, your display name and email address are shared with users you connect with. You control these connections and can block or remove friends at any time.
3.3 Legal Requirements
We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, in response to a valid legal process (such as a court order or subpoena), or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Here Habits, LLC, our users, or others.
3.4 Business Transfers
In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you via the App or email before your information becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
4. Screen Time and Device Activity Data
The App uses Apple’s Screen Time framework (FamilyControls, ManagedSettings, and DeviceActivity APIs) to provide app-blocking and usage-monitoring features. It is important to understand how this data is handled:
• Authorization: You must explicitly grant permission through iOS before the App can access Screen Time features. You can revoke this access at any time through your device settings.
• On-device processing: All Screen Time and device activity data is processed locally on your device. We do not have access to, nor do we transmit, the specific apps or websites you use to our servers.
• What we store: We store only your habit session configurations (timing, blocking preferences) and completion status — not the underlying device usage data.
• Apple’s restrictions: Apple’s Screen Time framework is designed with privacy at its core. The framework provides opaque tokens for app and website identification, meaning neither we nor any third party can determine the specific apps or websites associated with these tokens.
Data Retention, Security, and Children’s Privacy
5. Data Retention
We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with the Service. Specifically:
• Active account data (habits, profile, friends, settings): retained for the duration of your account.
• Upon account deletion: all active data is permanently removed from our systems, with the exception noted below.
• Post-deletion retention: we retain limited information (email address, name, subscription status, and account identifiers) for up to two (2) years after account deletion, solely for the purpose of supporting account recovery requests and resolving subscription-related billing disputes.
• Analytics and crash data: retained in aggregated, anonymized form and is not linked to your account after deletion.
6. Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:
• Encryption of data in transit using TLS/SSL.
• Secure storage of data using Firebase’s cloud infrastructure, which maintains SOC 1, SOC 2, and ISO 27001 certifications.
• Authentication through established identity providers (Apple, Google) with industry-standard security protocols.
• On-device processing of sensitive Screen Time data, ensuring it never leaves your device.
While we strive to protect your personal information, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
7. Children’s Privacy
The App is intended for users aged 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us at hello@herehabits.com, and we will take steps to delete such information promptly.
For users between the ages of 13 and 18, we encourage parents and guardians to monitor and guide their children’s use of the App. The App’s Screen Time management features may be used by parents to help manage their family’s device usage.

10. European Economic Area and United Kingdom

• Contract performance: Processing necessary to provide the Service and fulfill our obligations under the Terms & Conditions.
• Legitimate interests: Processing for analytics, security, and improving the App, where our interests do not override your data protection rights.
• Consent: Processing based on your explicit consent, such as for optional analytics or marketing communications. You may withdraw consent at any time.
You have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority if you believe we have not adequately addressed your concerns.
Your data may be transferred to and processed in the United States, where our service providers maintain their infrastructure. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place for such transfers.
