Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 13, 2026

Overview

HabitMeter ("the App") is developed by Kevin Merz ("we", "us", or "our"). This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our iOS application.

The short version: HabitMeter stores all your habit data locally on your device. We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. Optional Apple Health integration requires your explicit permission.

Data Collection

We do not collect any data. Specifically:

  • We do not collect personal information
  • We do not collect usage analytics
  • We do not track your behavior
  • We do not access your data beyond what you explicitly provide to the app
  • We do not upload any data to any server
  • We do not collect device identifiers, IP addresses, or location data

Local Processing

All habit tracking, data storage, and statistics happen entirely on your device using Apple's SwiftData framework. Your habit data, entries, and preferences never leave your device. We have no servers that receive or process your data.

Apple Health Integration

HabitMeter offers optional integration with Apple Health. This feature is entirely opt-in and requires your explicit permission.

Health data we may read (with your permission): Steps, Walking + Running Distance, Active Calories Burned, Exercise Minutes, Flights Climbed, Stand Minutes, Heart Rate, Dietary Water Intake, and Mindful Minutes.

Health data we may write (with your permission): Steps, Walking + Running Distance, Active Calories Burned, Flights Climbed, Dietary Water Intake, and Mindful Sessions.

All Health data is processed locally on your device and is never sent to our servers or any third party. You can revoke Health permissions at any time in your device settings.

In-App Purchases

HabitMeter offers an optional Premium subscription through the App Store. Purchase transactions are processed entirely by Apple. We do not have access to your payment information, Apple ID, or billing details.

Third-Party Services

HabitMeter uses RevenueCat for managing in-app purchases. RevenueCat processes anonymized transaction data provided by Apple to validate purchases. No personally identifiable information is shared. You can review RevenueCat's privacy policy at revenuecat.com/privacy.

The app does not integrate with any advertising, analytics, or tracking services.

If you download the app from the App Store, Apple may collect certain information as described in their privacy policy. We do not have access to this data.

Children's Privacy

Since we do not collect any data, HabitMeter is safe for users of all ages. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Your continued use of the App after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
