Privacy Policy

What the App Saves

Everything you put into Rewarding Habits stays right on your phone (and your watch if you have one). This includes:

• The names of your habits and goals
• Which days you completed them
• Your progress and reflections
• Any rewards you’ve added

If you buy the full version, Apple or Google handles the payment. We only find out that you bought it. We never see your credit card or payment info.

How We Protect Your Data

Your data doesn’t just stay on your device — it’s actively protected:

On Android, database encryption uses SQLCipher. On iOS, data is protected by Apple’s Data Protection framework.

What We Don’t Know About You

We built this app to respect your privacy. Here’s what we never collect:

Crash Reporting

On Android, we use Firebase Crashlytics to detect when the app crashes so we can fix bugs. Here’s what that means for you:

• If the app crashes, basic device info (phone model, OS version) is sent to help us fix the issue
• We never see your habit names, goals, reflections, or any personal content — only that a crash happened and where in the code it occurred
• No personal data is ever included in crash reports

How Your Phone Talks to Your Watch

If you have an Apple Watch or Wear OS watch, your habits sync between your phone and watch automatically. Here’s how it works:

• Your phone and watch talk directly to each other using Bluetooth
• The data doesn’t go through the internet or our servers
• It’s like passing a note directly to a friend instead of mailing it

Health Data

On Android, you can optionally connect the app to Health Connect to link your habits with health data like steps or sleep. If you do:

• You choose exactly which health data to share with the app
• Health data stays on your device — it’s never sent anywhere
• You can disconnect Health Connect anytime in your phone’s settings

On iOS, no health data integration is used.

Home Screen Widgets

If you add a widget to your home screen, the app shares your habit info with the widget. But don’t worry, this all happens on your phone. Nothing leaves your device.

Smart Features

If you use the AI coaching features, all the “thinking” happens right on your phone. On Android this uses Gemini Nano, and on iOS this uses Apple Intelligence. Either way, your data never gets sent to any outside computers or servers.

Exporting & Importing Your Data

You can export all your habits, goals, and progress as a file at any time. You own your data completely:

• Exports can be optionally encrypted with a password you choose
• You can import data back into the app from a backup file
• We never see, access, or store your exported files

Reminders

When you set up reminders, your phone handles everything. We don’t see when you get notified or what the reminders say.

Delete Your Data

Rewarding Habits stores all data locally on your device. There is no account, no cloud storage, and no server-side data to delete. You are in full control:

• Delete individual items: Remove specific habits, goals, or reflections from within the app at any time
• Clear all app data: Go to your phone’s Settings > Apps > Rewarding Habits > Storage > Clear Data. This removes everything the app has stored
• Uninstall the app: Removing the app from your device deletes all associated data permanently

Because no data is stored on our servers, there is nothing to delete on our end. Once you clear or uninstall, your data is gone completely and cannot be recovered.

The only exception is crash reporting data (device model and OS version) collected by Firebase Crashlytics. This contains no personal content and is automatically deleted by Google after 90 days.

If you have any questions about deleting your data, contact us at family@rewardinghabits.com.

Kids Under 13

We don’t collect information from anyone, including kids. Since everything stays on your device, there’s nothing for us to collect in the first place.

If This Policy Changes

If we ever update this policy, we’ll change the date at the top. But our promise stays the same: your data is yours, and we don’t want it.
