Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Equitysoft Technologies Pvt. Ltd. ("Company", "we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, shares, and protects your information when you use the HabitVow mobile application and related services (collectively, the "Service").

By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with it, please do not use the Service.

1. About the Service

HabitVow is a habit-tracking application that helps you build daily habits, check in each day, track your progress and body measurements, and, if you choose, join a coach's club with a leaderboard and shared progress.

The Service may provide features including habit and checklist tracking, daily check-ins and streaks, progress reports, body measurement and weight tracking, club membership, coach and member views, a club leaderboard, and reminder notifications.

2. Information We Collect

Information you provide:

• Phone number, used to sign you in with a one-time code sent to your WhatsApp number
• Profile information, such as your name, age, and gender (you may choose "Prefer not to say")
• Habit and check-in data, including your habits, checklists, daily check-ins, and streaks
• Body and health measurements, such as weight and other body parameters, and goals you set
• Club information, including clubs you join or register, your role (member or coach), and invitations
• Notification preferences, such as whether you want reminders and at what time

Information collected automatically:

• A device token that lets us send push notifications to your device
• Your time zone and app language, so reminders arrive at the right local time and in your language
• Technical and diagnostic information, such as error and crash information, used to keep the Service secure and working

We do not collect your precise location, contacts, photos, camera or microphone data, and the Service does not show third-party advertising.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

• Create and secure your account and verify your phone number
• Provide habit tracking, check-ins, reports, and measurement features
• Operate clubs, rosters, and leaderboards
• Send your daily check-in reminder and a nudge if you have not checked in for two days
• Maintain, protect, and improve the Service and prevent abuse or fraud
• Respond to your requests and comply with legal obligations

4. Push Notifications

With your permission, the Service sends two kinds of push notifications: a daily check-in reminder at the time you choose (8:00 PM by default, in your local time) and a nudge when you have not checked in for two days.

You can switch either notification off or change the reminder time in Settings, or block notifications in your device settings, at any time. Signing out removes your device from receiving notifications.

5. Clubs, Coaches, and Weight Sharing

If you join a club, other members of that club can see your name and leaderboard information such as streaks and completion. The club's coach can see your member details.

The Service includes a setting called "Share weight progress with my coach". While it is on, your coach can see a summary of your weight change. Your detailed measurement history is not shown to your coach. You can turn this setting off at any time, and the shared summary is then removed from your coach's view.

Sharing only has an effect while you belong to a club.

6. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only:

• With your coach and club members, as described above
• With service providers that help us run the Service, including Google Firebase (authentication, database, cloud functions, hosting, and push notifications) and a WhatsApp messaging provider that delivers sign-in codes. They process information only to provide these services
• When required by law, legal process, or to protect the rights, safety, and security of users or the Service
• In connection with a business transfer such as a merger or acquisition, with appropriate protection of your information

7. Health and Body Information

Weight and body measurements are personal and sensitive. We use them only to show you your progress and, if you leave sharing on, to give your coach a summary.

HabitVow is a habit-tracking tool. It is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Please speak to a qualified professional before making health decisions.

8. Data Retention

We keep your information for as long as your account is active and as needed to provide the Service.

When you request deletion, we delete your profile, habit, check-in, and measurement data and your registered device tokens, except where we must keep certain information to meet legal obligations, prevent fraud, or resolve disputes.

9. Account and Data Deletion

You may request deletion of your account and the data associated with it at any time by emailing info@equitysoft.in from, or mentioning, the phone number you use to sign in, with the subject "Delete my HabitVow account".

We will verify the request and complete the deletion within 30 days.

10. Your Choices and Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

• Access the information we hold about you
• Correct inaccurate information (you can edit your profile in the app)
• Request deletion of your information
• Withdraw consent, for example by turning off weight sharing or notifications

To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below.

11. Security

We use reasonable measures to protect your information, including encrypted connections and access rules so that each person can read only their own data and a coach can see only their own club.

No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

12. Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will delete it.

13. International Data Transfers

Our service providers may process and store information in countries other than your own. We rely on their security commitments to protect your information.

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last Updated" date above and, for significant changes, notify you in the app.

Your continued use of the Service after an update means you accept the updated policy, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
