1) Information about the collection of personal data and contact details of the person responsible

1.1 We are pleased that you are using our application (hereinafter "app"). In the following we inform you about the handling of your personal data when using our app. Personal data is all data with which you can be personally identified.

Which data is collected when using a contact form can be seen from the respective contact form in the app. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of answering your request or for contacting you and the associated technical administration. The legal basis for the processing of this data is our legitimate interest in answering your request in accordance with Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If your contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. Your data will be deleted once your request has been processed.

Certain personal data is transmitted to these service providers in accordance with the following information.

The personal data collected by us will be passed on to the transport company commissioned with the delivery as part of the contract, insofar as this is necessary for the delivery of the goods. We pass on your payment data to the commissioned credit institute as part of the payment process, provided this is necessary for the payment process. If payment service providers are used, we will explicitly inform you of this below. The legal basis for the transfer of data is Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR.

4) Firebase Crashlytics

To create anonymous crash reports, we use "Firebase Crashlytics", a service provided by Google Ireland Ltd., Google Building Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, to improve the stability and reliability of our app. If the app crashes, anonymous information will only be transmitted to the Google servers on the basis of your express consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) GDPR (app status at the time of the crash, installation UUID, crash trace, manufacturer and operating system of the mobile phone, last log messages). Also transfers to Google LLC. In the US are possible. This information does not contain any personal data. You can give or revoke consent in the app settings. You can withdraw your consent at any time by disabling the "Crash Reporting" feature in the app's settings. For more information on data protection, see the Firebase Crashlytics privacy policy at https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy

5) Website analytics

This website (habitkit.app) measures visits with Plausible Analytics, which we host on a Hostinger VPS in Germany. It sets no cookies and stores nothing in your browser for analytics. We use aggregate reports about page views, referring websites, browser and device types, and clicks on links to the app stores.

Requests reach our analytics server over an encrypted HTTPS connection. Plausible processes the connection IP address and request information to derive approximate location and a visitor hash using a salt that changes daily. The raw IP address is not stored in Plausible's analytics event records. We do not use these reports to identify individual visitors or combine them with RevenueCat customer records.

The legal basis for the processing of personal data involved in operating website analytics is our legitimate interest in understanding how the website is used, Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Hostinger provides the server infrastructure. The website does not display an analytics cookie banner because this analytics service uses no cookies or browser storage.

6) App usage analytics

Starting with HabitKit 1.18.1, the app uses anonymized usage tracking through the same self-hosted Plausible Analytics service on a Hostinger VPS in Germany. These statistics help us understand onboarding, first habit creation, returns to the app, Pro offer views and plan choices, purchase categories, access to Pro features, and openings of the share sheet. We use aggregate event counts to improve HabitKit, not to identify individual users. The service stores event records to produce these aggregate reports.

Events include the app version, iOS or Android platform, broad first-launch week and app-age groups, and relevant plan, offering or Pro-access categories. We do not send habit names, notes, check-ins or completion history, account or installation identifiers, transaction identifiers, or share destinations to Plausible. We do not combine these analytics records with RevenueCat customer records.

As with website analytics, the service receives the connection IP address over HTTPS and uses it to derive approximate location and a visitor hash using a salt that changes daily. The raw IP address is not stored in Plausible's analytics event records. Analytics state on your device is kept separate from habit backups.

We rely on our legitimate interest in understanding and improving HabitKit, Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, for the processing of personal data involved in operating this service. Hostinger provides the server infrastructure. This usage measurement is separate from purchase processing through RevenueCat and the optional Crash Reporting feature.

7) Apple Ads measurement on iOS

Starting with HabitKit 1.18.1, HabitKit uses Apple's Standard AdServices attribution to measure which Apple Ads campaigns lead to installs and Pro purchases. The app sends an Apple-provided attribution token to RevenueCat. RevenueCat uses it to request campaign information from Apple and associates the result with its existing customer and purchase record. This lets us compare campaign performance.

This measurement does not include habit names, notes or check-in history. We do not request Apple's tracking permission or collect the advertising identifier (IDFA) for this integration. RevenueCat does not send subscription lifecycle events to Apple Ads through this integration.

Apple Ads measurement is separate from anonymized Plausible usage statistics. Campaign information is linked to the pseudonymous customer record RevenueCat uses for your purchases. We use it to understand campaign performance, not to identify you by name. The legal basis for this measurement is our legitimate interest in understanding which advertising campaigns lead to installs and purchases, Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
