Privacy Policy

Information the app collects

• An ID to identify your account (an anonymous ID created when you first open the app; when you connect Apple or Google, the ID of that account)
• Email address (only when you connect Apple or Google; used for sign-in)
• The habits, rewards and goals you add, and records of completions and exchanges (to back them up and sync them)
• Records of actions in the app (such as opening the app, completing a habit, or viewing the Premium screen), with the app version and the language and region of your device. They do not contain the names of your habits or rewards, amounts, or text you type
• Health and Motion data (steps, workouts and sleep; iPhone version only) is read on your device only if you allow it. The values are not sent to our servers; we record only the completion on days you reach your goal
• Purchase records on the App Store or Google Play (start of a free trial, purchases, renewals, cancellations and refunds, with the amount and currency; including the earlier "Remove Ads"), and whether the app was installed from an ad (iPhone version only)
• Device information for notifications (the push notification token, time zone, language, app version, and whether notifications are allowed; iPhone version only. In the Android version, reminders are scheduled on your device and no notification information is sent to our servers)
• Photos you add to a reward (only when you add one; iPhone version only)
• When you use “Ask for a reward”: the name you go by, the reward name, the target and progress, and the cheers you send (the person you asked can see these; iPhone version only)
• The image attached to a share link (only when you send a link yourself; iPhone version only)
• Records of opening a pact or share link page (using a random value in a cookie; we do not keep your IP address or device information)

Service providers

We use outside service providers for sign-in, backup and sync of your records, storing action records, purchase records and device information for notifications, sending notifications, managing purchases and measuring whether the app was installed from an ad, and reading the text you write. We share only what each purpose needs.

In the iPhone version, when you type a habit or reward yourself, the text you typed, with your device language and currency, is read by AI to turn it into a habit or reward. Your ID is not sent.

In the Android version, we use outside service providers only for sign-in, backup and sync of your records, storing action and purchase records, and managing purchases.

Who we are

Reward Habits is run by an individual developer based in Japan, who is the controller of your data under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and similar laws. Contact details are at the end of this page.

Why we use your information, and our legal bases

We use the information only for the purposes below. We do not use it for advertising, we do not sell it, and we do not track you across other companies' apps or websites. The text after each purpose is the GDPR legal basis for people in the EU, the UK and similar regions.

• To provide the app (sign-in, backup and sync of your records, Premium, and the notifications you allow): performance of our contract with you (GDPR Article 6(1)(b))
• To understand how the app is used and improve it, and to measure where installs and purchases come from: our legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f)). We limit this to information that does not include the content of your records and has little impact on you

Service providers and transfers outside the EU

We are based in Japan, and we use outside service providers to store and process the information. Their servers are outside the EU, including in the United States and Japan.

The EU recognizes Japan as providing an adequate level of protection (an adequacy decision). Transfers to the United States and other countries are protected by the safeguards each provider offers, such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.

How long we keep it

• Your account and your habits, rewards, goals, and completion and exchange records: while you have an account. They are deleted when you delete your account
• Action records and purchase records: as long as needed to improve the app and understand revenue. After you delete your account, we replace your ID with a random ID and keep them in a form that is no longer linked to you
• Device information for notifications: deleted when you sign out, when you delete your account, or when the notification delivery service reports that the device can no longer be reached
• Pacts and share link images: deleted 90 days after a pact ends or after you share. They are also deleted when you delete your account. A pact with another person is marked as ended, and your name is no longer shown to them
• Purchase records held by our service providers are kept under each provider's own rules

Deleting your account

You can delete your account at any time in the app under Settings → Delete Account (「設定」→「アカウントを削除」 in Japanese). This deletes your sign-in account; your habits, rewards, goals, and completion and exchange records on the server and on this device; and the device information for notifications. It cannot be undone.

Action records and purchase records are kept with your ID replaced by a random ID. They do not contain the names of your habits or rewards, amounts, or text you type.

Deleting your account does not cancel Premium, and you will keep being billed on the App Store or Google Play. Cancel it first in the store you bought it from. Deleting the app alone does not delete your records on the server.

Even after you delete the app, you can ask us by email at the address below to delete your account. The steps are also on the account deletion page (in Japanese).

Requesting access, deletion and more

You can ask us to give you access to, correct, or delete your information, to restrict or stop using it, or to give you a copy to take elsewhere. Email us at the address below. We will normally reply within one month. We may ask you a few questions to confirm that the account is yours.

If you live in the EU, the UK or a similar region, you can also complain to the data protection authority in your country.

This website (gohobishukan.com)

This website does not use cookies or analytics scripts.

To know which pages are read and how often the store links are used, the server records five things: the path of the page opened, the host name of the referrer, utm_source, whether the visitor is a bot (a program that reads pages automatically), and whether the visitor went to the App Store or Google Play. We do not record IP addresses or device information. The store links check whether the device is Android to decide where to send you, and even then we do not record IP addresses or device information.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as needed. If there are important changes, we will let you know in the app or on this page.
