4. Information visible to other group members
When you join or participate in a Habeast group, other members of that group may see information associated with your participation, including your display name, Google profile photo where available, habits, points, progress and ranking. Do not join a group or create a publicly visible habit if you do not want that information shared with the group.
5. Service providers and data sharing
Habeast uses service providers to operate the app. These providers process information only as needed to deliver their services:
- Google Firebase, including Firebase Authentication and Firebase database or hosting services, for authentication, storage, synchronization, security and app operation.
- Google Sign-In, when selected by the user, to authenticate the user and provide basic profile information.
We do not sell your personal information. We may disclose information when required by law, to protect users or the service, or in connection with a legitimate business transfer, subject to applicable law.
6. Legal bases for users in the EEA/UK
Depending on the context, Habeast processes personal data because it is necessary to provide the service you requested, because of legitimate interests such as security and service improvement, because you have provided consent, or because processing is required by law.
7. Data retention
Account information and user-created content are generally retained while your account remains active. When your account is deleted, we take steps to delete or anonymize associated personal data, except where limited retention is required for security, fraud prevention, legal compliance, dispute resolution or backup integrity. Residual copies may remain temporarily in protected backups until those backups are overwritten.
8. Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards, including authenticated access and encrypted network connections provided by our hosting and infrastructure providers. No online service can guarantee absolute security.
9. Your choices and rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to processing of your personal data, and to request data portability. You may also withdraw consent where processing relies on consent.
To exercise a privacy right, email habeastapp@gmail.com. We may ask you to verify that you control the relevant account.
10. Account deletion
You can delete your Habeast account from the app through Profile → Settings → Delete Account. You can also use our online account deletion page. Deleting a Habeast account does not delete the user's Google account.
11. Children
Habeast is not directed to children under 13, or under the minimum digital-consent age that applies in their country. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children below the applicable age without valid authorization. Contact us if you believe a child has provided personal information improperly.
12. International processing
Our service providers may process data in countries other than your own. Where required, appropriate legal safeguards are used for international transfers.
13. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when Habeast changes or legal requirements evolve. The updated version will be published on this page with a new effective date.
