Habit Hike Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 17, 2026

Introduction

Habit Hike is published by Elberth Corniell. In this policy, “we” means Elberth Corniell. This page explains how Habit Hike handles information. It applies only to the iOS and Android versions of this app.

It is written in plain language. Read it together with the settings on your device.

Information We Collect

Habit Hike does not require an account. You do not sign in, and we do not ask you to create a password.

We do not operate a backend that receives the content you create in Habit Hike.

Habit Hike does not request your location.

Habit Hike does not collect health, fitness, or medical information.

  • On iOS, the app may ask to use the device advertising identifier so ads can be more relevant. You can decline. Habit names, check-ins, and notes are not sent to the advertising provider.
  • Reminders are created on the device.
  • A full-screen ad plays only if you tap Watch an ad. That is optional. A rewarded ad adds bonus coins for character gear, up to five times a day. Habits and check-ins never require an ad.

Information Stored on Your Device

Habit Hike keeps the information it needs on your device so it can work without an account.

  • Habit names, schedules, targets, and reminder times
  • Daily check-ins, minutes, and habit notes
  • Your display name, character, coins, and unlocked gear
  • Language, theme, and reminder settings
  • Backup and CSV files, if you export one

The app does not sync your information to a cloud service or to your other devices.

You can delete information in the app. Uninstalling the app removes its local database. A file you exported stays wherever you saved it, and the app no longer controls that file. If you back up the phone with the operating system, a copy of the app’s data can remain in that backup until the system discards it.

Advertising

Habit Hike shows advertising through Google AdMob.

Advertising providers may collect device identifiers and analytics information. That can include an advertising ID, device type, IP address, and how you interact with an ad. The provider collects that information. We do not store it.

Where required, the app asks for consent before requesting ads. You can also limit ad tracking in your iOS or Android settings.

Analytics

Habit Hike does not include its own analytics SDK.

An advertising provider may still measure how ads perform. That measurement is described under Advertising. It is separate from an analytics product we operate.

Third-Party Services

The services below can process information under their own policies when you use them or download the app.

The app stores do not give us your store sign-in credentials.

Data Retention

We do not keep a copy of what you enter, because it is not sent to us. It remains on your device until you delete it or remove the app.

Advertising providers keep the information they collect for as long as their own policies describe. We do not set those retention periods.

Children's Privacy

Habit Hike is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

If you are a parent and believe a child has provided personal information in connection with the app, email us. We will help you remove what is stored on the device and, where a third party is named on this page, point you to that provider.

Your Choices

You decide what to enter, what to delete, and which system permissions to allow.

  • There is no account to create or delete.
  • You can delete information in the app, or uninstall the app to remove its local database.
  • You can refuse or withdraw ad consent where the app offers that choice, and you can limit ad tracking in system settings. Ads from Google AdMob may then stop or become less relevant.
  • You can email us with a privacy question. The address is in Contact.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this page when the app changes. The date at the top is the date of the current version.

If a change describes a new way information is collected or shared, this page will be updated before that change applies.
