This Privacy Policy describes how Quit Kitty (the "App") collects, uses, and shares information when you use our mobile application. We are committed to protecting your privacy.
Our goal with Quit Kitty is to provide a helpful tool to assist you in your journey to quit vaping or smoking, without collecting unnecessary personal data.
1. Information We DO NOT Collect
Quit Kitty is designed with your privacy in mind. We do not collect, store, or transmit any of the following personal information:
- Your name, email address, phone number, or any other contact information that could identify you personally.
- Your precise location data.
- Any health information or specific details about your vaping/smoking habits that could identify you personally.
- Any data you input into the app (e.g., timestamps of your vapes/smokes, interval progress, standard mode settings) is stored locally on your device using Core Data and is not transmitted to us or any third parties, except as specifically outlined below for purchases.
2. Information We Collect (Indirectly or Anonymously)
a. Subscription Information (via RevenueCat and Apple)
When you subscribe to Quit Kitty (e.g., for the Premium Intelligent Mode), the transaction is processed directly by Apple's subscription system. We use RevenueCat (a third-party service) to manage and verify these subscriptions and entitlements.
- What RevenueCat Collects: RevenueCat helps us understand who has active subscriptions. When you subscribe, RevenueCat may collect anonymous identifiers and subscription details from Apple to verify your subscription status and provide you with the correct features. This data is associated with an anonymous RevenueCat ID, not your personal identity.
- What Apple Collects: Apple processes your payment information directly. We do not have access to your credit card details or other sensitive financial information. Apple provides us with aggregated, anonymous sales and usage data that does not identify you personally.
For more information, please refer to RevenueCat's Privacy Policy and Apple's Privacy Policy.
b. Anonymous Usage Statistics (via Apple App Store Connect)
Apple provides us with anonymous, aggregated usage statistics through App Store Connect. This data helps us understand how the app is performing generally (e.g., number of downloads, crash reports, general engagement with certain features). This information is entirely anonymous and cannot be used to identify you personally.
c. Analytics and Advertising Data
We use third-party analytics and advertising services to improve our app and deliver relevant advertisements. These services collect anonymous or pseudonymous data about your interactions with our app:
- Meta (Facebook) Pixel: Collects data about app events and conversions to measure ad effectiveness and deliver targeted advertising. This includes device information, app interaction events, and anonymized user identifiers.
- TikTok Pixel: Tracks advertising conversions and app events to optimize our TikTok advertising campaigns. Collects device identifiers, app usage patterns, and conversion events.
- Google Analytics for Firebase: Provides app usage analytics, crash reporting, and performance monitoring. Collects device information, app engagement metrics, crash logs, and anonymized user behavior data.
- Google Ads: Tracks advertising conversions and enables remarketing. Collects device advertising identifiers and conversion events.
This data is collected automatically when you use the app and is processed according to each service provider's privacy policy. The data collected is typically anonymized or pseudonymized and cannot be used to identify you personally without additional information.
3. How We Use Information
The limited information we collect, as described above, is used solely for the following purposes:
- To provide and manage subscriptions: RevenueCat allows us to verify your subscription status and unlock premium features for you.
- To understand general app performance: Anonymous usage statistics from Apple help us identify bugs, improve stability, and understand overall feature adoption.
- To improve our advertising and marketing: We use analytics data to understand which marketing channels are most effective and to show you relevant advertisements on other platforms.
- To optimize app performance: Analytics help us identify and fix crashes, improve app speed, and enhance user experience.
- For remarketing purposes: To show you relevant ads about Quit Kitty on other platforms if you've shown interest in our app.
4. How We Share Information
We share limited, anonymized information with third parties for specific purposes:
- Analytics and Advertising Partners: We share anonymized event data with Meta, TikTok, and Google for analytics and advertising purposes. This data is aggregated and cannot identify you personally.
- Apple and RevenueCat: For subscription management as previously described.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. All data sharing is done in accordance with applicable privacy laws and is limited to what's necessary for the specified purposes.
