Privacy Policy

Gtick ("the app", "we", "us") is a habit tracker that lets you define habits on the web or in the Gtick iPhone and Android apps and tick them off from your Garmin watch or your phone. This policy covers the website, the mobile apps, and the watch app, and explains what data we collect, why, and how it is handled.

Information we collect

• Account information. When you sign in with Apple, Google, or GitHub, we receive an account identifier, your email address (with Sign in with Apple this can be a private relay address), and basic profile details such as your name. When you sign up with email, we store your email address; your password is handled by Firebase Authentication and never stored by us in readable form.
• Habit data. The habits you create, their settings (such as your day-rollover hour and time zone, used to work out which day a tick belongs to), and your daily completion records ("ticks").
• Pairing data. When you link a watch, we generate a short pairing code and a long-lived device token so the watch can sync with your account. We store a reference to each paired device.
• Feedback. If you send feedback from the website or an app, we store your message and email address so we can reply.

How we use your data

• To authenticate you and keep your account secure.
• To store your habits and completion history and sync them between the website, the mobile apps, and your paired Garmin watches.
• To operate, maintain, and improve the app.

Data sharing

We do not sell your data and we do not share it with third parties for advertising. Data is processed by our infrastructure providers (Google Firebase: Authentication, Cloud Firestore, and Cloud Functions) solely to provide the service, and feedback emails are delivered through Resend. Your watch and the mobile apps communicate directly with our backend at gtick.app. The mobile apps contain no advertising or third-party tracking.

Website analytics

The Gtick website uses Cloudflare Web Analytics to measure aggregate page views and performance without cookies, local storage, or user profiling. Habit names, completion history, account details, and watch data are not sent to Cloudflare Web Analytics. The website also uses Google Analytics (through Firebase) to understand how visitors use it; Google Analytics may set cookies in your browser. The iPhone, Android and watch apps do not use Google Analytics.

Data retention

Your habits and completion history are retained while your account is active so your statistics remain available. Deleted habits are archived rather than permanently removed so historical records are preserved. You can delete your account and all associated data at any time in the iPhone or Android app (Settings → Delete Account), or by contacting us (see Contact). Deletion removes your habits, history and feedback and unpairs your watches.

Your choices

• You can unpair a watch at any time from the website or the mobile apps, which revokes that device's token.
• You can request access to or deletion of your personal data by contacting us.

Security

Communication with our servers uses encrypted connections (HTTPS). Access to your data requires authentication with your account or a valid device token.

Children

Gtick is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above.
