Cadentiq
Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Cadentiq ("the App") is an Android habit-tracking app developed by Bhoomin Naik ("we", "us", "our"). Instead of punishing missed days, the App is built around minimums, freezes, and comebacks — ways to keep going after a bad day. It works offline, and it can be used as a guest with no account at all.

This Privacy Policy explains what information the App collects, how it's used, who handles it for us, and what choices you have. By using the App, you agree to this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.

2. Information We Collect

If you use the App as a guest, your habits and records are stored only on your phone and are not sent to us. A guest sees ready-made example data.

If you sign in, we collect and store the following in our backend (Supabase):

• Account information: the email address of the account you sign in with (currently Google Sign-In). From Google we also receive your display name and profile picture address; these are used to show your profile in the App.
• Habit data: your goals and habits, including their names, icons, schedules, minimums, reminder times, notes, daily records, freezes, comebacks and settings.
• Activity you record in the App: walks (time, steps, distance and type of activity — not the route) and focus sessions (length, rounds and an optional tag you type).
• Subscription status: whether you have Pro, which product, whether it is a trial, and the relevant dates, as reported to us by RevenueCat. We never see your payment card; purchases are handled by Google Play.
• Device and activity information: a random install identifier, the App version, your App language, your time zone, when the App was last used, whether notifications are currently allowed, and which in-app check-ins have been shown to you. We use this to keep you signed in across devices, to send emails in your language at a sensible hour, and to avoid sending an email about something the App has already told you.
• Email preferences: whether you ticked the box to receive tips and updates, and when.
• Feedback: if you choose to send feedback from the App's Profile, the text you write (up to 1,000 characters), linked to your account, so we can read and act on it.

Information that stays on your phone and is never uploaded: saved places used for location reminders, the GPS route of a walk, your choice of avatar shape, and anything you type to the on-device assistant.

Optional permissions. Each of these is asked for only when you use the feature, and you can withdraw it at any time in Android's settings:

• Location (precise, approximate and, for place reminders, in the background): to measure the distance of a walk and to remind you when you arrive at a place you saved. Locations are used on the device. Your route and saved places are not uploaded; if you choose to share a picture of a walk, it shows only the shape of the route, with no map and no start or end marker.
• Physical activity (step counter): to count steps during a walk.
• Health Connect (steps, exercise, hydration): to fill in habits that count steps, exercise minutes, workouts or water, and, if you allow it, to write your walks, workouts and water back to Health Connect. Health Connect data is read on your phone. The resulting daily count for a habit, and which kind of Health Connect data a habit counts from, sync like any other habit information, but we do not upload the underlying Health Connect records. Health Connect permissions are managed in Health Connect.
• Notifications, alarms and Do Not Disturb access: to deliver your reminders, full-screen alarms and focus-mode settings.

Usage statistics and crash reports. The App uses Firebase Analytics to count how features are used (for example, which screens are opened and which steps of setup are completed, in broad terms) and Firebase Crashlytics to receive crash reports, which include technical details about your device and the crash. We do not put the names of your habits, your notes, your health data or your location in analytics. Google Play's install referrer tells us which link or campaign an install came from.

We do not collect your contacts, camera or microphone data, or payment card details.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information above to:

• Provide the App's features — tracking habits, goals, freezes and comebacks, and showing your progress.
• Sync your data across your own devices when you are signed in.
• Schedule and deliver reminders, alarms and check-ins on your device.
• Confirm and maintain your Pro entitlement.
• Understand which features are used and fix crashes, so we can improve the App.
• Send you the emails described in Section 4.

We never sell your data. We do not use your information for advertising or profiling, and we do not rent or trade it.

4. Emails

About your subscription. If you have an account with an email address, we send emails about your own Pro subscription: that a free trial is about to end, a thank-you after you subscribe, a note if a payment did not go through, and a note when Pro ends. These are service messages, not marketing, and are not affected by the choice below.

Tips and updates (optional). At sign-in there is a small box, unticked by default, for tips and updates by email. Only if you tick it we may send short emails that help you get started or come back to the App. Every such email contains a one-click unsubscribe link. We never name your habits in an email; at most an email shows counts, such as the number of days you have kept or freezes you have ready.

5. Data Sharing

Your data is kept private: every synced record is scoped to your account and other users can never see it. We never sell your data, and we do not share it for advertising. The following service providers process information on our behalf, only to provide their service:

• Supabase — authentication, database, and the server functions that sync your data and send our emails.
• Google — Google Sign-In, Google Play and Play Billing, Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics, and the Play install referrer.
• RevenueCat — manages and validates purchases. It receives your account identifier, and, where you have them, your email address, display name and profile picture address, the source of your install, and a couple of broad usage signals (such as which Pro feature prompted an upgrade). It does not receive your habits or health data.
• Resend — delivers the emails described in Section 4. It receives your email address and the content of the email.

The optional on-device assistant runs on your phone, using Google's on-device model or a model file you choose to download. What you type to it is not sent to us or to anyone else.

If you use your phone's share sheet to share a picture from the App, it goes only where you send it. We may also disclose information if the law requires it.

6. Data Security

Data sent between the App and our backend is encrypted in transit using HTTPS/TLS. Authentication is handled by Supabase Auth, and every table is protected by row-level security so your data is only ever readable by your own account.

We use commercially reasonable measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Data Retention & Account Deletion

We keep your account and synced data for as long as your account is active, so the App can stay in sync across your devices.

You can delete your account at any time from within the App, in Settings. This permanently deletes your account and every synced record tied to it — habits, goals, records, walks, focus sessions, settings, device information, email preferences and subscription status — and it is not delayed. Data that lives only on your phone is removed when you uninstall the App or clear its data.

Deleting your account in the App does not by itself remove the records held by our other providers, such as your customer record at RevenueCat and usage statistics in Firebase. To have those removed, contact us at bhoominn@gmail.com and we will do so. Purchase records may also be kept by Google Play as it requires.

8. Children's Privacy

The App is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at bhoominn@gmail.com so we can take appropriate action.

9. Your Choices & Rights

You can view, edit or delete your habits, goals and other data directly within the App at any time, and you can use the App as a guest without an account.

You can turn off any permission in Android's settings (and Health Connect permissions in Health Connect), and unsubscribe from tips and updates with the link in any such email. For access to, correction of, or deletion of anything else we hold about you, or for full account deletion, follow Section 7 or contact us at bhoominn@gmail.com.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect the most recent revision. Continued use of the App after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
