Privacy Policy

Quitling is made by AppKind. This policy explains what the app processes, where it is stored, who else is involved and what you can do about it.

In short

• No account and no server of ours. Your journal stays on your phone.
• No ads on iPhone. The free Android version shows a small Google AdMob banner; Pro removes it.
• Your quit data is never sent to advertisers or to us.
• We do not sell your personal data.

Who we are

The developer and data controller for Quitling is FOP Danyil Ihnatenko (ФОП Ігнатенко Даниїл Ігорович), Ukraine (D-U-N-S 66-768-9100), trading as AppKind. Contact: support@appkind.app.

What we process and where it is stored

• Your quit profile (start date, quit mode, habit type, weekly spend and currency, how much you used to use, plan length, pet name) and the events you log (slips, units used, cravings and their triggers, such as stress or alcohol).
• All of this is stored in a file on your device (on iPhone, shared with the widget) and is used only for counters, stats and the widget.
• Reminder settings. Reminders are local notifications.
• Purchase status: whether Pro is active (see RevenueCat below).
• Android free version only: advertising data collected by Google AdMob (see below).

Permissions

The app asks for a permission only when a feature needs it. You can say no and change your mind later in system settings; the rest of the app keeps working.

• Notifications (optional): reminders, scheduled on the device.
• Android: internet and advertising ID access come with Google’s ads and billing libraries.

Third-party services

These providers process data for the purposes below under their own privacy policies:

• Google AdMob and User Messaging Platform: Android free version only. Shows a banner on the home screen. Google may collect your device’s advertising ID, IP address, approximate location derived from it, device information and ad interactions, for showing and measuring ads and preventing fraud. Ads are personalised unless you decline in the consent form. Your journal and quit data are never sent to Google. Privacy policy: policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites
• RevenueCat: Checks whether Pro is active. Receives an anonymous app user ID, your store purchase records and basic device and app information. Privacy policy: revenuecat.com/privacy
• Apple: App Store payments and subscription status. Privacy policy: apple.com/legal/privacy
• Google: Google Play payments and subscription status. Privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy

Ads and your consent (Android)

Where the law requires it (for example in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland), the app shows Google’s consent form (User Messaging Platform) before any ad is requested. You can change your choice at any time in Settings → Privacy options. You can also delete or reset your advertising ID in Android settings → Privacy → Ads. Pro removes ads completely.

Not medical advice

Quitling is a habit tracker. It does not give medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Talk to a doctor about quitting nicotine, especially if you are pregnant, have a health condition or use nicotine replacement.

Why we process it

• To provide the app and the features you use, including Pro (performance of our contract with you).
• To show ads in the free Android version, with your consent where the law requires it.
• Optional permissions and connections are used only after you turn them on (your consent, which you can withdraw at any time).
• To meet legal obligations, such as tax rules for purchases, which the stores handle.

What we never do

• We do not sell your personal data.
• We do not track you across other companies’ apps and websites, except that Google AdMob may use your advertising ID for personalised ads in the free Android version if you allow it.
• We do not use analytics or crash-reporting SDKs.

International transfers and security

The providers above may process data outside your country, including in the United States. We rely on the safeguards they offer, such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses. Data that leaves your device is encrypted in transit (HTTPS).

How long we keep data

Your journal is kept until you reset it or delete the app. Android includes it in your Google account backup and restores it on a new phone; on iPhone it may be included in your device backup.

Deleting your data

• Settings → Reset wipes your journal and starts over. Your subscription is not affected. You can also remove single events.
• Deleting the app removes its data from the device. To remove the Android backup copy, delete the app’s backup in your Google account.
• Ad data held by Google follows Google’s policies; you can withdraw consent in Privacy options.

Your rights

If you are in the EEA or the UK (GDPR / UK GDPR), you have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to the processing of your personal data, to data portability, and to withdraw consent at any time. You can also complain to your local data protection authority (in Ukraine: the Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights).

If you live in California or another US state with a privacy law (CCPA/CPRA and similar), you have the right to know, access, correct and delete your personal information, and not to be discriminated against for using these rights. We do not sell personal information. In the free Android version, Google’s use of your advertising ID for personalised ads may count as “sharing” under some of these laws; you can opt out in Settings → Privacy options or by deleting your advertising ID in Android settings.

Most of your data never reaches us: it stays on your device or in your own cloud, where you control it directly with the tools above. For data held by our providers (for example purchase records at RevenueCat), write to support@appkind.app and we will help.

Children

Quitling is made to help adults quit nicotine. It is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we will post the new version on this page with a new date, and tell you in the app if the change is significant.
