Privacy Policy for Steady

Effective Date: June 2026

Steady ("we", "our", or "us") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your information. This Privacy Policy explains how Steady collects, uses, stores, and protects information when you use the application.

1. Information We Collect

Steady is designed to collect only the information necessary to provide its core functionality.

Anonymous Authentication

Steady uses Firebase Anonymous Authentication. You are not required to create an account, provide an email address, or submit personal profile information to use the app.

A unique anonymous identifier is generated by Firebase and used to associate your data with your device.

Habit and Progress Data

The information you create within the app may include:

• Habits

• Habit completion history

• Challenge participation and progress

• Subscription status

• App preferences and settings

This information is stored securely to provide app functionality.

Technical Information

Certain technical information may be automatically processed through Firebase services, including:

• Anonymous user identifiers

• Device information required for app functionality

• Diagnostic and error information necessary to maintain service reliability

2. How We Use Information

We use collected information solely to:

• Provide and maintain app functionality

• Save and synchronize habit and challenge data

• Verify subscription status and premium access

• Improve app stability and reliability

• Prevent abuse and maintain service security

We do not sell personal information.

3. Third-Party Services

Steady uses the following third-party services:

Google Firebase

Firebase services may process information necessary to operate the app, including:

• Firebase Authentication

• Cloud Firestore

• Firebase Cloud Functions

• Firebase Cloud Messaging (if notifications are enabled)

• Firebase Crashlytics (if enabled)

These services are governed by Google's Privacy Policy.

Apple App Store

For iOS subscriptions and purchases, Apple may collect and process payment-related information according to Apple's Privacy Policy. Steady does not receive or store your payment information.

Google Play Store

For Android subscriptions and purchases, Google may collect and process payment-related information according to Google's Privacy Policy. Steady does not receive or store your payment information.

4. Subscription Information

Steady offers optional premium subscriptions.

Payment processing is handled entirely by Apple App Store or Google Play Store. We do not collect, process, or store payment card information.

Subscription status may be verified through Apple or Google services to provide premium features.

5. Information Sharing

We do not sell, rent, trade, or share your information with third parties for marketing purposes.

Information is shared only when necessary to:

• Operate the app through Firebase services

• Process subscriptions through Apple or Google

• Comply with legal obligations

6. Data Retention

Your data may remain stored while your anonymous account remains active.

Because Steady uses anonymous authentication, deleting the app, clearing app data, or switching devices may result in permanent loss of access to your stored information.

We may delete inactive or unnecessary data when it is no longer required for service operation.

7. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information.

Data transmitted between your device and our services is protected using industry-standard encryption, including SSL/TLS encryption where applicable.

However, no method of electronic storage or transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights regarding your information, including:

• Requesting deletion of stored information

• Requesting information about stored data

• Requesting correction of inaccurate information

To exercise these rights, contact us using the contact information below.

Steady is not intended for children under the age of 13.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided information through the app, please contact us and we will take appropriate action.

Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use of the app after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
