Habit Tracker ("we", "our", "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and your rights. By using Habit Tracker, you agree to this policy.
Habit Tracker is developed and maintained by Dhruvisha Jagani. The app may be listed under different developer names across app stores, but this Privacy Policy applies to all versions of the Habit Tracker app regardless of the platform.
Habit Tracker is a Health & Fitness app for tracking mood, habits, sleep, menstrual cycles, hydration, breathing exercises, and energy levels. It is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
1. No Account Required
You can use Habit Tracker fully without creating an account. We do not collect or require your name, email address, phone number, or any personal identity information. All wellness data is stored locally on your device. Habit Tracker does not use user accounts, cloud profiles, or server-side wellness storage.
2. Information We Collect
A. Wellness Data (Stored Locally Only)
All data you enter — mood, habits, sleep, menstrual cycles, water intake, breathing sessions, energy levels — is saved entirely on your device (local database). It is never sent to us, our servers, or any third party.
B. Analytics Data (Google Firebase Analytics — Pseudonymous)
We use Firebase Analytics to understand how the app is used and to improve it. It may automatically collect the following pseudonymous technical data:
- Device type and model
- Operating system version
- App version
- Country or region (derived from IP address — not precise GPS location)
- Language and locale settings
- Pseudonymous in-app events (e.g., screens visited, features used) and daily active-use counts
- Firebase Installation ID — a randomly generated pseudonymous identifier tied to your app install, not to you personally; it resets when you reinstall the app
- App Instance ID — a pseudonymous session-level identifier used to group analytics events; it is not linked to your identity
We have disabled advertising-ID and SSAID collection for Analytics, so our analytics are not linked to your device's advertising identifier. This data is used only to understand how the app performs and where it can be improved.
C. Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) Token
To send app-level messages (such as update announcements or important notices), FCM assigns your device a pseudonymous registration token. This token is randomly generated, not linked to your identity, and is automatically invalidated when you uninstall the app. FCM is not used for wellness reminders — those are handled entirely by local on-device notifications.
D. Remote Configuration (Firebase Remote Config)
The app fetches configuration (feature flags and ad settings) from Firebase. This request includes a pseudonymous app-instance identifier and basic device information. No wellness data is sent.
E. Feedback (Cloud Firestore) — only if you submit it
If you choose to send feedback through the app, the feedback text you type is transmitted to our Firebase database so we can review it. Please do not include personal or health information in feedback.
F. Advertising Data (Google AdMob & Meta Audience Network)
Habit Tracker is free and supported by ads (which you can remove — see Section 4 and Section 6). Our ad partners may process your device advertising identifier (Android Advertising ID / iOS IDFA), IP address (coarse/country-level), device information, and ad-interaction data to deliver, cap, measure, and secure ads. See Section 4 for details and your choices.
G. Purchase Data (App Store / Google Play / RevenueCat)
If you buy the optional ad-free/premium upgrade, your purchase is processed by the app store, and your entitlement status is managed via RevenueCat. We receive your purchase status only — never your payment card or bank details.
H. Photo Library (optional, user-initiated)
If you choose to attach an image or save/export a report, the app accesses your photo library only for that action you initiate. Selected or saved images remain on your device and are not uploaded to us.
We do NOT collect:
Your name, email, phone number, precise GPS location, contacts, call logs, SMS, microphone audio, camera data, payment card/bank details, biometric identifiers, medical records, or browsing history. Your wellness entries are never sent to analytics, advertising, or any third party.
3. Health & Sensitive Data — Special Protection
As a Health & Fitness app, some data you enter (mood, sleep, menstrual cycles) is considered sensitive health data under global laws including GDPR, India's DPDP Act, and Apple/Google platform policies. We treat it with the highest level of care:
- Stored on your device only — never uploaded, transmitted, or backed up by us
- Never shared with any third party, advertiser, ad network, insurer, employer, or data broker
- Never used to target ads. Ad networks receive only standard ad-request signals — never your mood, sleep, cycle, or any wellness data
- Never used for research, profiling, or automated/clinical decision-making
- Only pseudonymous app-usage events are collected by Firebase Analytics — wellness entries are not
- Habit Tracker does not provide cloud backup or synchronization of wellness data through developer-controlled servers
- Habit Tracker does not access Apple HealthKit or Google Health Connect / Google Fit
- Habit Tracker does not collect precise GPS location, biometric identifiers, medical records, or biometric measurements
Wellness entries and health-related data are never transmitted to Firebase Analytics, our advertising partners, or any third-party service.
You are always in full control. Delete your data anytime by clearing app data or uninstalling the app.
4. Advertising
Habit Tracker is free and supported by ads. (You can remove all ads by purchasing the premium/ad-free option — see Section 6.) We use:
- Google AdMob — ad serving
- Meta Audience Network — additional ad demand via AdMob mediation
These partners may process your device advertising identifier (Android Advertising ID / iOS IDFA), IP address (coarse/country-level), device information, and ad-interaction data to deliver, frequency-cap, measure, and prevent fraud in ads.
Your consent and choices:
- EEA / UK / Switzerland: before serving personalized ads, we display a Google-certified consent form (Google User Messaging Platform). If you do not consent, you will only see non-personalized (contextual) ads that do not use your advertising ID for profiling.
- iOS: we request permission via App Tracking Transparency (ATT). If you don't allow tracking, ads are non-personalized.
- You can change your choice anytime in your device settings — iOS: Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking; Android: reset or limit your Advertising ID in system settings. Reinstalling or clearing app data also resets your consent state.
- Ads are never targeted using your health or wellness data, and ad content is limited to a general-audience rating.

5. Notifications
A. Local Notifications (On-Device, No Internet Required)
All wellness reminders in Habit Tracker — habit nudges, hydration alerts, mood check-ins, period reminders, and any other tracking reminders — are delivered as local notifications, scheduled and triggered entirely on your device.
- Local notifications do not use the internet or any external server
- No data leaves your device to deliver a local notification
- Reminders are generated based on the schedule you configure inside the app
- You can enable or disable individual reminders in the app settings
- You can also disable all notifications at the OS level: iOS — Settings > Notifications > Habit Tracker. Android — Settings > Apps > Habit Tracker > Notifications
B. Firebase Cloud Messaging — FCM (App Updates & Announcements Only)
We use FCM solely to send important app-level messages such as update announcements, policy changes, or critical service notices. FCM is NOT used for wellness reminders or habit tracking notifications.
- FCM assigns your device a pseudonymous registration token used only to deliver these app-level messages
- The token is randomly generated and not linked to your personal identity
- FCM tokens are not used for advertising, profiling, or identity tracking
- FCM token data is processed by Google LLC under their privacy policy
- The token is automatically invalidated when you uninstall the app
You can disable FCM notifications at any time using your device's OS-level notification settings as described above.
6. In-App Purchases
Habit Tracker offers an optional one-time lifetime purchase (for example, to remove ads and unlock the premium experience). It is a single payment, not a recurring subscription. Payments are handled entirely by the Apple App Store or Google Play, and entitlement status is managed via RevenueCat. We do not receive or store your payment details.

9. Data Storage & Retention
- Wellness data: on your device only — deleted when you clear app data or uninstall (unless preserved by your device's own backup service)

10. International Data Transfers
Your personal wellness data never leaves your device. Pseudonymous analytics, messaging, configuration, and advertising data may be processed on the global servers of Google, Meta, and RevenueCat. These providers comply with international transfer requirements through Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and other GDPR-approved mechanisms.
11. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or port your data, and to withdraw consent at any time. Since wellness data lives on your device, you can delete it instantly by clearing app data or uninstalling.

We do not knowingly collect personal data from children, and ad content is restricted to a general-audience rating. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has used the app, contact us at support@nextwaveinfotech.com and we will delete any associated data immediately.
13. Data Security

- Firebase, AdMob, Meta, and RevenueCat use enterprise-grade, encrypted infrastructure

- Advertising identifiers are used only for ads, with your consent, and are never linked to your health or wellness data
In the event of a security incident involving a service provider, we may notify affected users and relevant authorities where required by applicable law (e.g., within 72 hours under GDPR Article 33).
14. App Store & Platform Compliance

Apple App Store (App Privacy): Our App Privacy label reflects this policy. We collect Usage Data, Identifiers, and Purchases; the advertising identifier is used for tracking only with your ATT consent. All health and fitness data is on-device only.
