Privacy Policy

Who we are

Active Hygiene Habit is a personal hygiene routine app for iPhone. It is provided by Sinclair Stricklandd.

What this app does

The app helps you plan and log hygiene habits, keep a history of completions, view personal statistics, and optionally compare anonymous averages with other users. There are no accounts, no social graph, and no advertising SDK.

Information we collect

The app sends data to the companion API only to operate the features you use:

• Anonymous device identifier. Created on the device and sent as a request header so history and backups stay attached to that installation. It is not your name, Apple ID, or advertising identifier.
• Habit history. Log events such as date, habit category, optional template, completed or skipped status, timer duration, and whether the log came from a timer, a manual tap, or a backfill.
• Statistics inputs. The same history is used to compute your streaks, daily rollups, and anonymous global benchmarks.
• Quiz results. Score, question count, duration, and deck version when you play Hygiene IQ.
• Optional backup snapshot. If you upload a backup, the server stores the habits, logs, quiz rounds, and preferences included in that snapshot so you can restore them later.
• App metadata. App version, platform, and timezone offset, used to date logs correctly and to serve content.

Information we do not collect

• Name, email address, phone number, or password (the app has no user account)
• Contacts, photos, camera, microphone, or precise location
• HealthKit or medical records
• Payment information
• Advertising identifiers used for tracking across other companies’ apps or websites

Local habit reminders are scheduled on the device. We do not receive the contents of local reminders.

How we use the information

• To store and return your habit history
• To calculate personal statistics and anonymous aggregate benchmarks
• To deliver daily tips, articles, and quiz decks
• To keep an optional backup you can restore
• To keep the service reliable and to prevent abuse (rate limiting)

Global averages are computed from de-identified log counts. They are not a ranking and are not tied to a public profile.

Reminders

Local reminders for habits and timers are scheduled on the device and do not require our servers.

Legal basis

If you are in a region that requires a legal basis, we process this information to provide the service you request (storing history, statistics, backup, and content) and, where required, on the basis of your consent for optional backup upload.

Sharing

We do not sell your information. We do not share it with advertisers. Hosting and infrastructure providers may process data solely to operate api.activehygienehabit.cc. We may disclose information if required by law.

Retention and deletion

Server-side history, statistics, quiz results, and any backup remain associated with the anonymous device identifier until you erase them.

You can delete the server copy from the app’s data controls, which calls the companion API to erase the device record. You can also email sinclair.stricklandd@icloud.com and include the device identifier shown in the app’s About section.

Deleting the app from your iPhone removes the local copy. It does not by itself delete the server copy unless you erase data first or ask us to do so.

Security

The companion API is served over HTTPS. Device records are stored separately per identifier. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children

Active Hygiene Habit is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

International processing

The companion API may be hosted in a country different from the one where you use the app. By using the app you understand that your anonymous device data may be processed in that location.

Changes

We may update this policy when the app or the companion API changes. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page will change when we do. The current version is always published at https://api.activehygienehabit.cc/privacy.
