Privacy Policy

BetterQuit ("we," "our," "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights. By using the App, you agree to the practices described here.

1. Information We Collect

a) Behavioral & Habit Data

To power the App's core features, we collect data you voluntarily log including: urge timestamps and intensity, trigger categories (loneliness, stress, boredom, etc.), daily check-in responses (fap log, workout log, sleep, water intake), focus session outcomes (resisted / relapsed), panic flow usage, and streak data.

b) Fitness & Health Data (Google Fit)

If you enable Google Fit integration, we read daily steps, workout sessions, calories burned, and movement activity. This data is used solely to compute your discipline score and generate pattern insights. We do not store raw Google Fit data on our servers beyond what is needed for this computation.

c) Device & Usage Data

We may automatically collect non-personal technical information: device model, OS version, App version, session timestamps, feature usage patterns, and crash/error logs to improve App stability and performance.

d) Account Information

If you create an account, we collect your chosen username (auto-generated for anonymity), email address, age, and goal selection (fitness, discipline, habit recovery). We do not collect your real name unless you voluntarily provide it.

e) Purchase & Subscription Data

Purchases are handled entirely by Apple's App Store. We receive only limited purchase confirmation data (e.g., subscription status). We do not receive or store your payment card details.

f) Community Content

Text posts you submit to the community feed (max 150 characters) are stored anonymously under your auto-generated username. No personal identifiers are attached to community content.

g) Support Communications

If you contact us, we retain your communication and email address to respond to your inquiry.

h) Website Blocker Logs (Android)

The website blocker uses a local, on-device VPN filter. No browsing data, URLs, or blocked domain logs are transmitted to our servers. All filtering happens entirely on your device.

2. How We Use Your Information

• Deliver the App's core functionality (streak tracking, urge management, focus system)
• Generate rule-based pattern insights and discipline scores
• Compute the Journey Ring, Life Quality Metrics, and Streak Score
• Correlate fitness, sleep, and urge data for personalized insights
• Improve App performance, stability, and accuracy
• Respond to support requests and account inquiries
• Send important notices (updates, policy changes)
• Detect, prevent, and address technical issues or abuse
• Comply with legal obligations

3. Legal Basis for Processing

• Performance of a contract: To provide the App's features as agreed when you download the App
• Legitimate interests: To improve the App, ensure security, and prevent fraud
• Consent: For optional features such as Google Fit sync or marketing communications
• Legal obligation: Where required by applicable law

4. Data Storage & Security

• All data is stored using industry-standard encryption (AES-256 at rest; TLS in transit).
• Sensitive behavioral data (urge logs, relapse history) is stored with access controls and is never exposed in public endpoints.
• Website blocker filter data is processed entirely on-device — no browsing activity is transmitted.
• We implement access controls, audit logging, and regular security reviews.
• No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security but take all reasonable measures.
• In the event of a data breach affecting your rights, we will notify you and relevant authorities as required by applicable law.

5. Sharing of Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share data only in these limited circumstances:

• Service Providers: Trusted vendors (cloud hosting, analytics, crash reporting) who process data on our behalf under strict data processing agreements
• Legal Compliance: When required by law, court order, or regulatory authority
• Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets — you will be notified in advance
• Safety: To protect the safety, rights, or property of BetterQuit, our users, or the public

6. Third-Party SDKs & Services

The App may integrate with third-party services, each governed by their own privacy policy:

• Google Fit — policies.google.com/privacy
• Firebase / Analytics (if used) — firebase.google.com/support/privacy
• Apple App Store — apple.com/legal/privacy

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party services.

7. Sensitive Data Handling

BetterQuit collects sensitive behavioral data related to sexual urges, addiction recovery, and mental health habits. We treat this data with the highest level of care:

• Urge logs, relapse history, and trigger data are never shared with third parties for any commercial purpose
• This data is never used to target advertising or build behavioral profiles
• Community posts are fully anonymous — no behavioral data is ever linked to your community identity
• We will never disclose this data to employers, insurers, or any party that could cause harm to the user

8. Cookies & Tracking

The App itself does not use browser cookies. If you visit our website or support pages, standard web cookies may be used for session management and analytics. You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings.

9. Children's Privacy

• BetterQuit is intended for users aged 18 and above. The App is not directed at minors.
• We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18.
• If we discover that a minor has provided personal data, we will delete it promptly.
• Parents or guardians should contact contactregryp@gmail.com if they believe their child has submitted data.

1. Right to Access — Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
2. Right to Rectification — Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data
3. Right to Erasure — Request deletion of your personal data, subject to legal obligations

12. International Data Transfers

BetterQuit is operated from Hyderabad, India. If you access the App from outside India, your data may be transferred to and processed in India. By using the App, you consent to this transfer. We ensure appropriate safeguards consistent with applicable law.

13. Do Not Track

The App does not currently respond to "Do Not Track" signals from browsers, as no universal standard exists. We will update this section if such a standard is adopted.

14. Marketing Communications

We will only send marketing or promotional communications if you have explicitly opted in. You may opt out at any time by using the unsubscribe link in any email or by contacting contactregryp@gmail.com. Opting out does not affect service communications (account notices, policy updates).

15. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes via the App, push notification, or email at least 14 days before changes take effect. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy.
