Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Nataliia Maksymiuk ("Nataliia", "we", "us", "our") handles information in connection with the UpYou mobile application ("App"). It applies to all users of the App on iOS and Android.

We designed UpYou to be privacy-first: your goals, challenges, completion history, and settings stay on your device. We do not run user accounts, we do not host your data on our servers, and we do not sell your data to anyone.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information stored locally on your device

When you use UpYou, the following information is created and stored on your device only, in a local database:

• Goals you create (title, description, category, term, target date, progress, notes)
• Challenges you create (title, description, schedule, active days, reminder time)
• Your completion history (completed / skipped / missed days, streaks)
• Categories you create
• App settings (theme, notification preferences, default reminder time, haptic feedback toggle)
• Your Premium status flag (cached locally so the App knows whether to show paid features)

We do not have access to this information. It does not leave your device unless you choose to export it (see Section 4).

1.2 Information processed by third parties

UpYou uses a small number of third-party services that may process limited information:

• Apple App Store (iOS): distributes the App and processes in-app purchases. Apple may process Apple ID purchase data, device identifiers, and payment information under its own Privacy Policy.
• Google Play (Android): distributes the App and processes in-app purchases. Google may process Google account purchase data, device identifiers, and payment information under its own Privacy Policy.
• RevenueCat: manages and validates subscription entitlements. RevenueCat may process an anonymous app-user ID, the product identifier you purchased, purchase receipts, country, app version, platform, and approximate IP-derived location. RevenueCat does not receive your name, email, goals, challenges, or any personal content from the App.

We do not receive your payment card details, Apple ID password, or Google account password. Those are handled exclusively by Apple and Google.

1.3 Information we do not collect

UpYou does not collect, transmit, or store on our servers:

• Your name, email address, phone number, or other contact details
• Your location (GPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi based)
• Your photos, contacts, calendar, or microphone data
• Your goal or challenge content
• Your usage analytics or behavioral data
• Crash reports or telemetry
• Advertising identifiers (we show no ads and do not use ad SDKs)

We do not use Google Analytics, Firebase Analytics, Mixpanel, Sentry, Crashlytics, or any similar analytics or tracking service.

2. How We Use Information

The limited information processed by our third-party providers (Apple, Google, RevenueCat) is used only to:

• Deliver and update the App on your device
• Process and validate your in-app purchase or subscription
• Restore previous purchases when you change devices
• Detect refunds, cancellations, and renewals so the App can show the correct Premium state
• Comply with legal obligations (e.g., tax records held by Apple / Google)

We do not use any information to profile you, target ads, or train machine-learning models.

3. Local Notifications

UpYou uses local notifications for goal check-ins and challenge reminders. These are scheduled and delivered entirely on your device using your operating system's notification service. We do not send push notifications from a remote server, and we do not know whether or when notifications fire.

You can enable or disable notifications in the App's Settings or in your device's system settings.

4. Your Data, Your Control

Because UpYou stores your data locally, you control it directly:

• Export. Use Settings → Import / Export to export your data (e.g., as JSON or another supported format) at any time. The export file is created on your device; we do not see it.
• Import. You can import a previously exported file from the same screen.
• Delete. You can delete individual goals, challenges, and categories from the App. Uninstalling the App permanently deletes all locally stored data on that device. We cannot recover deleted data.

Because we do not collect your data, there is generally no data on our servers to access, correct, or delete. For information held by Apple, Google, or RevenueCat, please contact those providers using the links in Section 9.

5. Children

UpYou is not intended for children under 18. We do not knowingly collect information from children. If you believe a child has provided information through the App or one of its third-party providers, please contact us using the details in Section 11.

6. Data Retention

• On your device: your data is retained until you delete it or uninstall the App.
• At Apple / Google: purchase and subscription records are retained according to those providers' policies and applicable tax / accounting law.
• At RevenueCat: subscription records are retained as long as your subscription is active and for a period afterwards under RevenueCat's policy.

7. Security

We rely on the security features of your device's operating system (iOS, Android) to protect locally stored data. Subscription processing relies on the security of Apple, Google, and RevenueCat. No method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.

If your device is lost, stolen, or shared, anyone with access to the unlocked device can read your UpYou data. Use a device passcode and biometric lock.

8. International Users

The App can be used worldwide. Subscription-related information may be processed by Apple, Google, or RevenueCat in countries other than your own, including the United States. Those providers operate under their own privacy frameworks and standard contractual clauses where required.

8.1 If you are in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or Switzerland

Under the GDPR / UK GDPR, you have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to processing of your personal data, and to data portability. Because we do not hold your personal data, requests should generally be directed to Apple, Google, or RevenueCat. Where we are a controller of any limited subscription metadata, our lawful bases are:

• Performance of a contract (Article 6(1)(b)) — to deliver the App and your subscription
• Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f)) — to detect fraud, validate entitlements, and ensure App security
• Legal obligation (Article 6(1)(c)) — for tax and accounting

You have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data-protection authority.

8.2 If you are in California (CCPA / CPRA)

We do not sell or share personal information as defined under the CCPA/CPRA. You have the right to know what personal information we have, request deletion, and not be discriminated against for exercising these rights. Contact us using the details in Section 11.

9. Third-Party Privacy Policies

For information held by our service providers, please consult their policies:

• Apple — https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/
• Google Play — https://policies.google.com/privacy
• RevenueCat — https://www.revenuecat.com/privacy

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date and, where appropriate, notify you in the App. Your continued use of the App after the changes take effect means you accept the updated policy.
