We collect information you provide directly: your name, email address, and app usage data including habits, workout logs, budget entries, and journal entries. All data is stored securely in Firebase Cloud Firestore.

2. How We Use Your Information

Your data is used solely to provide app functionality: tracking habits, calculating streaks and XP, displaying progress analytics, and powering the leaderboard. We do not sell or share your personal data with third parties.

3. Data Storage

All data is stored in Google Firebase infrastructure with encryption at rest and in transit. Your data is associated with your Firebase Authentication account.

4. Leaderboard

If you opt in, your penguin name and weekly XP may be visible to other users on the community leaderboard. You can disable this in Settings > Privacy.

5. Analytics

We use Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics to improve app performance and fix bugs. This data is anonymized and does not include your personal habit or journal entries.

6. Data Deletion

You can delete your account and all associated data at any time from Settings > Delete Account. This action is permanent and cannot be undone.
