Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

ProperHabit (the "app") and this website are operated by the controller of any personal data described in this policy:

2. The short version

This matches the declaration we publish in App Store Connect under App Privacy: "No data collected".

3. Data we do not collect

For the avoidance of doubt, we do not collect, receive, store, sell or share:

The app makes no network requests to any server we operate or control. We do not run a back-end for ProperHabit, and we have no way to read anything you create in the app.

4. Data stored on your device

Everything you create in the app is written to an on-device database on your iPhone using Apple's SwiftData framework:

Widgets, the Live Activity, the Focus Filter and the on-device insights ("Postępy" / "Progress") all read this same local database. Nothing in that list is uploaded anywhere by us. Because the data never reaches us, we cannot see it, recover it, or delete it on your behalf.

The only ways data can leave your device through ProperHabit are (a) optional iCloud sync, which you control and which we have no access to, and (b) an export or backup file that you create and choose to share or save.

5. Optional iCloud sync

The app can sync your habits across your own Apple devices. This feature is off by default, requires Premium, and is switched on by you in Settings → iCloud → Sync across devices (iCloud) inside the app.

When you enable it, the app uses Apple's CloudKit to mirror your local database into the private database of your own iCloud account (container iCloud.com.zordon.properhabit). In simple terms:

If sync is turned off, nothing leaves your iPhone. Turning sync off does not delete the copy already stored in iCloud — see section 14.

6. Apple Health (HealthKit)

With your explicit permission, the app can complete a habit automatically from three Apple Health metrics: steps, sleep analysis and mindfulness minutes. Health auto-complete requires Premium.

You can withdraw permission at any time in Settings → Privacy & Security → Health → ProperHabit, or by removing the linked metric from the habit in the app.

7. Notifications

Reminders are scheduled locally on your device by iOS. We do not operate a push-notification service, we hold no device tokens, and no notification content passes through any server we control. Notifications are optional and can be turned off in the app or in iOS Settings.

8. Cookies, analytics and tracking

This website sets no cookies — not for analytics, not for advertising, not even for preferences. There is no consent banner because there is nothing to consent to. We use no analytics product, no tag manager, no heat-map or session-recording tool and no advertising pixel.

The app contains no analytics and no tracking. No Software Development Kit from an analytics, advertising or attribution vendor is included in the build, and no advertising identifier is accessed. ProperHabit does not ask for App Tracking Transparency permission because it does not track you.

One naming note, so there is no confusion: the app has a statistics screen called Progress (Polish: Postępy) whose on-device calculation module is named "insights". It computes your completion rates, streaks and trends from your own local data. It is not telemetry and it sends nothing anywhere.

9. Third-party services on this website

This website is a static page. Serving it inevitably involves the hosting provider that delivers the files to your browser, and that provider necessarily sees your IP address in order to send you the page.

There are no other third-party requests. The typefaces used on this site are served from this same domain rather than loaded from an external font service, so reading these pages discloses your IP address to nobody beyond our hosting provider. The site loads no analytics, no tag manager, no session-recording tool and no advertising pixel, and it contains no embedded videos, social plug-ins, comment widgets or third-party scripts. The legal and support pages make zero third-party requests.

10. Purchases and payments

Premium is sold exclusively through Apple's App Store using StoreKit 2. Apple processes the payment, and we never receive, process or store your payment card details, billing address or Apple Account credentials. What we can see is limited to what Apple provides to every developer: anonymous sales and subscription reports that are not linked to your identity.

Purchases are made under Apple's Media Services Terms and Conditions. The plans, their lengths, renewal behaviour and how to cancel are set out in our Terms of Use and on our Support page. Managing or cancelling a subscription is done through your Apple Account, not through us.

11. Children

ProperHabit is a general-audience habit tracker and is not directed at children under 13. Because the app collects no personal data from anyone, it also collects no personal data from children. If you believe a child has somehow sent us personal data, email us and we will delete it.

Where the GDPR requires us to identify a legal basis, these are the bases we rely on. They cover everything described in this policy, and nothing else:

One consequence is worth stating plainly: because Apple Health data is read on your device and never reaches us (section 6), we do not process special-category data as defined in Article 9 of the GDPR, and no additional condition for that kind of data is needed on our side.

13. Your rights under the GDPR

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, you have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation over personal data that a controller holds about you. Our situation is unusual: we hold no personal data about you from the app, because it stores everything locally and we operate no back-end for it. The only personal data that exists at all is the request data our hosting provider processes to serve this website (section 9) and any message you choose to send us. That is not a way of avoiding your rights — it means there is little or nothing on our side to access, correct, port or erase, and where there is, we will help.

You can already exercise most of those rights directly, and for free, in the app:

Where we do hold something — a support email you sent us, or a request to exercise a right — we handle it on the basis of your request and our legitimate interest in answering you, and we keep it only as long as needed to resolve the matter. To make any request, email hi@zordonintelligence.pl.

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. Our lead authority is the Polish data protection authority:

You may also complain to the authority in your own country of residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement.

14. Retention and deletion

Local data stays on your iPhone until you remove it. There is no automatic expiry and no retention period on our side, because there is no "our side".

15. Do Not Sell or Share (California)

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the CPRA, and under comparable US state privacy laws, we state plainly:

To ask a question or make a request under these laws, email hi@zordonintelligence.pl. We may need to confirm the request came from you, but since we hold no account data, in most cases there will be nothing for us to disclose beyond this policy.

16. International transfers

We do not transfer your app data anywhere, because we never receive it. The only cross-border element is the processing that happens when you choose to interact with us or with Apple:

17. Trader information and contact

For any question about this policy, or to exercise a right described above, contact the controller:

18. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when the app changes — for example, if a future version adds a feature that involves processing data in a new way. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page always shows the current version, and the previous versions remain available on request.

If a change is material, we will say so in the app or in the App Store release notes before it takes effect. Continuing to use the app after an update means you accept the revised policy. If we ever introduce a feature that collects data, we will describe it here and ask for your consent first — and this policy will say so before that feature ships.
