HabitBarn (“we”, “us”) is a focus timer and habit garden for iPhone and iPad. This policy explains what we collect when you use the app and this website, why, and the choices you have. We keep it short because we collect little.
What we collect
- Without an account: your habits, check-ins, focus sessions and settings are stored only on your device. We do not receive them.
- Account data (if you sign in): your email address, display name and sign-in provider (Apple, Google or email and password), handled by Google Firebase Authentication. With Sign in with Apple you can hide your email address; we then only see Apple's relay address.
- Your garden (if you sign in): habits, check-in history, focus sessions and settings, stored in Google Cloud Firestore so they sync between your iPhone and iPad.
- Purchases: HabitBarn Plus is bought in the app through Apple's App Store. Apple processes the payment; we never see your card or Apple ID payment details. RevenueCat, our purchase-processing provider, receives the App Store receipt and an app user ID (your account ID when signed in, otherwise a random ID) so the app can confirm Plus. We keep a record of your plan status (plan, renewal or expiry date, store).
- Earlier website purchases: members who bought Plus on this website before the app paid through Stripe. We never saw their card numbers; we keep their plan status and Stripe customer ID for as long as that plan runs.
- Usage analytics: anonymous product events (for example “habit created”, “paywall viewed”) via Google Analytics for Firebase, used to fix bugs and improve the product. Google Analytics also receives technical details such as device type, OS version, a random app-instance ID and your approximate region (from your IP address); never your habit names or garden. In the EU, the EEA, the UK and Switzerland the app asks first and sends nothing unless you allow it; everyone can turn it off in Settings → Your data → Anonymous usage stats. No advertising identifiers are collected and nothing is used to track you across other companies' apps or websites.
- Support emails: what you send us, kept to answer you.
This website itself sets no cookies and runs no analytics or ads.
What we don't do
- We do not sell your personal data.
- We do not show ads, in the app or on the website.
- We do not track you across apps or websites owned by other companies.
How we use data
To run the service (sync, purchases, reminders you turn on), to keep it secure, to answer support requests, and to understand which features people use so we can improve them. Daily reminders are scheduled on your device.
Service providers
We use Google (Firebase Authentication, Firestore, Analytics), Apple (App Store purchases, Sign in with Apple), RevenueCat (purchase processing), Stripe (earlier website payments) and our hosting provider to run HabitBarn. They process data on our behalf under their own privacy and security commitments.
Retention and deletion
Your garden is kept while you have an account. In the app, Settings → Your data → Delete my account permanently deletes your account, your synced garden, your purchase record at RevenueCat and any website subscription, immediately, and disconnects Sign in with Apple if you used it. App Store subscriptions are managed by Apple; cancel them in your device's Settings. We may keep records we're required to keep by law (for example payment records held by Apple or Stripe). If you can't open the app, email support@habitbarn.com from your account's address and we will delete it.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example the EU/UK under GDPR or California under CCPA) you may have the right to access, correct, export or delete your data, and to object to certain processing. Anyone can export their garden in the app (Settings → Your data → Export CSV) or email us to exercise these rights.
Children
HabitBarn is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal data. If you believe a child has given us data, contact us and we will delete it.
Security
Data is encrypted in transit and stored with Google Cloud. No system is perfectly secure, but we follow reasonable practices and limit access to your data.
Changes
If we make material changes we will update the date above and, where appropriate, tell you in the app.
