This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and share information when you use the Growly mobile application (the “App”).
By using Growly, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.
1. Who we are and what Growly does
Growly is a personal habit and focus companion. It helps you set goals, track moods and streaks, personalize a digital “cub” companion, and (with a subscription) unlock Growly Pro features.
2. Information we collect
2.1 Account information
When you create an account or sign in, we collect:
- Email address
- Password (stored and processed securely by our authentication provider; we do not store your password in plain text)
We use email/password authentication. We do not currently offer social login (Google/Apple sign-in) in the App.
2.2 Profile and onboarding information
During onboarding and in Settings, you may provide:
- Your name (display name)
- Cub name and cub pronouns
- Cub personality trait selection
- Gender
- Age range (for example, “Less than 25,” “25–34,” etc.)
- Sleep duration preference
- Lifestyle / productivity self-assessment answers
- Improvement goals and organization blockers
- Distraction / focus level
- Support-system related answers
This information is used to personalize your experience in the App.
2.3 App usage and content you create
When you use Growly, we store content and activity such as:
- Goals (title, emoji, schedule, reminders, notes, tags, and related settings)
- Goal completions
- Mood check-ins
- Daily check-ins and streak data
- Bamboo points / rewards-related activity and level/XP progress
- Timezone setting used for your profile (as configured by the App)
2.4 Subscription and purchase information
If you subscribe to Growly Pro, purchases are processed by the app store (for example, Google Play) and our subscription partner, RevenueCat.
We (and/or our partners) may process:
- Subscription status and entitlement information
- Product identifiers and purchase/restore events
- An anonymized or account-linked App User ID (linked to your Growly account ID)
- Limited account attributes such as email and display name sent to RevenueCat to help manage subscriptions
Payment card details are handled by Google Play (or Apple, if applicable). We do not collect or store your full payment card number.
2.5 Device and local data
The App may store certain data on your device, including:
- Sign-in session information
- Onboarding progress drafts
- Local flags for daily flows (for example, whether you already checked in today)
- Local reminder / notification scheduling identifiers
2.6 Notifications
With your permission, Growly may schedule local reminders on your device (for example, goal reminders or engagement reminders). Reminder content may include information you provided, such as your cub name or goal titles.
We do not currently operate a remote push-notification system that registers a push token with our servers for marketing blasts.
2.7 Information we do not intentionally collect
Based on the current App:
- We do not run third-party advertising SDKs in the App
- We do not use separate analytics or crash-reporting SDKs (such as Firebase Analytics, Amplitude, or Sentry) in the current App build
- We do not request access to your contacts, camera, photos, microphone, or precise location for core features
Operating systems and app stores may collect their own diagnostics according to their policies.
3. How we use your information
We use your information to:
- Create and manage your account
- Provide and personalize Growly features (goals, moods, streaks, cub companion, progress)
- Process and manage subscriptions, restores, and entitlement checks
- Schedule local reminders you enable
- Maintain security, prevent abuse, and troubleshoot issues
- Communicate about the App when needed (for example, account or support-related messages)
- Comply with legal obligations
4. Legal bases (if you are in the EEA/UK)
Where applicable, we process personal data based on:
- Contract — to provide the App and subscription features you request
- Legitimate interests — to secure, maintain, and improve the App
- Consent — where required (for example, notification permission)
- Legal obligation — where the law requires us to retain or disclose information
5. How we share information
We do not sell your personal information.
We share information only as needed with service providers who help us operate Growly:
| Partner | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Supabase | Account authentication and cloud database storage for profiles, onboarding answers, goals, moods, streaks, and related app data |
| RevenueCat | Subscription management, entitlements, restore purchases, and purchase analytics related to subscriptions |
| Google Play (Android) | Processing in-app purchases/subscriptions and related store billing |
These providers process data under their own privacy policies and as our processors/service providers, as applicable.
We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect rights and safety, or in connection with a business transfer (for example, merger or acquisition).
We do not currently provide public user profiles or social sharing of your habit data inside the App.
6. Data storage and security
Your account and app content are stored with our cloud provider (Supabase) and on your device as needed for the App to function.
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal data. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.
7. Data retention
We retain personal data for as long as your account is active and as needed to provide the App, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.
If account deletion becomes available (or if you request deletion by email), we will delete or anonymize personal data within a reasonable period, except where we must retain it for legal, security, or accounting reasons (for example, subscription/transaction records).
8. Your choices and rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or export your personal data, or to object to / restrict certain processing.
In the App today you can:
- Update certain profile details (such as your name, cub name, and cub pronouns) in Settings
- Sign out (this ends your session and clears some local onboarding draft data on the device; it does not by itself delete your cloud account data)
- Manage or cancel your subscription through the store / in-app subscription management flows
- Control notification permission in your device settings
Account deletion: In-app account deletion is not fully available yet. To request deletion of your account and associated personal data, email us at geeksforceoffice@gmail.com from the email address on your Growly account. We will verify your request and process it within a reasonable time.
To exercise other privacy rights, contact us at the same email.
9. Children’s privacy
Growly is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
We ask for an age range during onboarding; we do not use this as a precise date of birth. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.
10. International transfers
Your information may be processed in countries other than your own (including where our service providers operate). Where required, we take steps to protect personal data in accordance with applicable law.
11. Third-party links and stores
The App may link to third-party sites or rely on app-store pages. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies. Google Play’s handling of payments and license testing is governed by Google’s policies.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version on this page and update the “Last updated” date. Continued use of the App after changes means you accept the updated policy, where permitted by law.
