Habit Chat is owned, operated, and maintained by ProductiveTap. In this Privacy Policy, “us”, “we” or “our” means ProductiveTap.

We are committed to respecting your privacy. Our Privacy Policy sets out what information we collect, how we use and store it, and who we share it with.

We may change our Privacy Policy from time to time by publishing changes to it on our website. We encourage you to check our website periodically to ensure that you are aware of our current Privacy Policy. The current version is also available in the app.

What information do we collect?

Your habits, marks, notes and chats are stored on your device and synced through your personal iCloud account, which is maintained and protected by Apple. We can’t access them.

When you use the AI coach, the information described below is sent so the coach can reply. This happens only when you ask a question or tap a coach feature, never in the background.

We don’t collect your name, email address, contacts, location or advertising identifiers, and you don’t need an account to use the app.

The app also downloads its settings, such as the free version’s limits, from our website, whose server may log basic request details such as your IP address.

The AI coach

When you ask the coach a question, the app sends your question and the earlier messages in that chat. When you ask for feedback or a habit suggestion, it also sends your habit names, the notes you’ve written for the AI, your goals and your progress, such as streaks and when you last did each habit. Your private habit notes and the notes on a single day are never sent.

This information goes through our server on Google Firebase to OpenAI, which provides the AI model and processes it as our service provider under its API terms. It is used only to write the coach’s reply. It is not used for advertising or to build a profile of you.

The app asks for your permission before the first request. You can withdraw it at any time in More > AI & Data, and nothing is sent until you allow it again.

Third-party services we use

• OpenAI receives your questions and habit information to write the coach’s replies.
• Google Firebase passes requests between the app and OpenAI. It signs the app in anonymously with a random identifier that isn’t linked to you.
• Apple syncs your data through iCloud, handles App Store purchases, and recognizes speech when you use voice input.

We do not sell your data, and we do not share it with any third party other than those listed above.

Data storage and retention

Your habits and chats stay on your device and in your iCloud account until you delete them. Our server only passes requests to OpenAI and doesn’t keep their content. OpenAI may retain submitted data for a limited period to monitor for abuse, under its own API data policy.

How to delete your data

• To delete a chat, swipe left on it in the Chats tab.
• To delete a habit and its history, swipe left on it in the Habits tab.
• To delete everything, delete the app, then remove its data in Settings > [your name] > iCloud.
• To stop sending information to the AI coach, turn off Allow AI Coach in More > AI & Data.

Using our website

Like most website operators, we collect non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Our purpose in collecting non-personally-identifying information is to better understand how our visitors use the site.
