Privacy Policy
App: HabitPal | Developer: GoFoo | Effective date: June 11, 2026 | Last updated: June 11, 2026
Summary: HabitPal is a habit-tracking app. Your habit data is stored locally on your device. We do not operate user accounts, do not sell your data, and do not use third-party analytics or advertising SDKs.
1. Who We Are
This Privacy Policy describes how GoFoo ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you use the HabitPal mobile application (the "App"), package name com.gofoo.habitpal.
If you have questions about this policy, contact us at: gofoofu@gmail.com
2. Information We Collect
HabitPal is designed to minimize data collection. Information handled by the App includes:
- Habit content you create — habit names, categories, frequency settings, duration, remarks, and check-in records (dates, completion status, and timer duration). This is stored in a local database on your device.
- App preferences — settings such as security lock (biometric/device credential) preference, trial usage markers, and VIP purchase status. Stored locally on your device.
- Purchase information — if you buy the permanent VIP upgrade, the payment is processed entirely by Google Play. We receive only the purchase confirmation needed to unlock VIP features on your device. We do not receive or store your payment card details.
We do not collect:
- Name, email address, phone number, or other contact details (unless you voluntarily email us for support)
- Precise location data
- Contacts, photos, microphone, or camera data
- Advertising identifiers for targeted ads
- Usage analytics via third-party analytics services
3. How We Use Information
We use the information described above solely to:
- Provide core App functionality (habit tracking, statistics, timers, and reminders)
- Remember your settings and VIP status on your device
- Display ongoing timer and due-time notifications you enable
- Verify in-app purchases through Google Play Billing
- Respond to support requests you send us by email
4. Data Storage and Security
- Your habit data is stored locally using Room (SQLite) on your device.
- Preferences and VIP status are stored in local app storage (SharedPreferences).
- Optional app lock uses your device's biometric or screen-lock credentials; we do not receive or store your biometric data.
- We do not transmit your habit content to our servers. The App does not require an internet connection for core features.
While we take reasonable measures to protect information on your device, no method of electronic storage is 100% secure.
5. Data Sharing and Third Parties
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.
The only third-party service integrated into the App is:
- Google Play Billing — to process one-time in-app purchases. Google's handling of payment data is governed by Google's Privacy Policy.
If you enable Android backup (the App has backup enabled), your app data may be included in backups managed by Google or your device manufacturer, subject to their respective privacy policies.
6. Permissions
The App may request the following permissions:
- Notifications (POST_NOTIFICATIONS) — to show timer progress and habit due-time reminders. No personal data is sent externally.
- Wake lock (WAKE_LOCK) — to deliver timer due alerts reliably when the screen is off.
- Billing (com.android.vending.BILLING) — required for Google Play in-app purchases.
- Biometric / device credential (optional) — only if you enable app lock in Settings.
7. Data Retention and Deletion
- Your data remains on your device until you delete it within the App (e.g., delete habits or categories) or uninstall the App.
- Uninstalling HabitPal removes locally stored app data from your device (subject to Android backup settings).
- Purchase records are retained by Google Play according to Google's policies.
8. Children's Privacy
HabitPal is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps.
9. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data. Because HabitPal stores data locally on your device, you can manage and delete your data directly in the App or by uninstalling it. For purchase-related requests, you may also contact Google Play support.
Residents of the European Economic Area (EEA), UK, California, and other regions with privacy laws may contact us at gofoofu@gmail.com for privacy-related inquiries.
10. International Users
The App is operated by GoFoo. Your data is processed on your local device and is not transferred to our servers.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this document. Material changes may also be communicated through an App update. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
