Privacy policy

Last updated: November 7, 2026

Overview

NOVO is an iOS app made by Kacper Kalicki Tryhard Solutions, Poland (“we”, “us”). This policy explains what data the app handles, where it goes and why.

In short: what you enter in NOVO stays on your device, and we can't see it. The app sends usage statistics to Google Firebase and purchase information to RevenueCat. NOVO has no accounts, and it never asks for your name, email address or phone number.

Data that stays on your device

Everything you enter is stored only on your iPhone or iPad:

• what you're tracking and your start dates
• daily check-ins, how hard each day was, slips and past journeys
• journal entries, goals, coping strategies and money saved
• reminder times, appearance settings and the Face ID lock setting

Home Screen widgets read this data from storage that only NOVO and its widgets share on the same device. Face ID is handled entirely by iOS. NOVO only learns whether unlocking succeeded.

NOVO doesn't sync between devices. Your data is included in your device's iCloud or computer backup if backups are on. It's deleted when you delete the app.

Usage statistics (Google Firebase Analytics)

NOVO uses Google Firebase Analytics to see how the app is used and what to improve. It records events such as:

• screens opened and features used, for example check-ins, badges, the journal and the emergency screen
• numbers about your progress: the current streak day, your longest streak, difficulty ratings and the fact that a slip was recorded
• the length of a journal entry, never its text
• onboarding steps, notification choices, and paywall and purchase steps

These events never include the text you write or what you're tracking. Firebase also collects technical data: device model, iOS version, app version, language, an identifier for this installation, and an approximate region worked out from your IP address.

NOVO also uses Firebase Remote Config to download app settings, such as which offer to show. This request carries a Firebase installation identifier and none of your data.

We don't use any of this for advertising. NOVO never asks for permission to track you, so it can't use your device's advertising identifier.

Purchases (Apple and RevenueCat)

Apple processes subscriptions and lifetime purchases, and we never see your payment details. NOVO uses RevenueCat to check which purchases are active. RevenueCat receives your App Store transaction details, a random purchase ID created by the app and basic device information.

Service providers

• Google Firebase (Analytics, Remote Config): Firebase privacy information, Google Privacy Policy
• RevenueCat: RevenueCat Privacy Policy
• Apple (App Store purchases): Apple Privacy Policy

These providers may process data in the United States. Those transfers rely on the EU–US Data Privacy Framework or the European Commission's standard contractual clauses. We don't sell or rent your data, and we don't share it with advertisers or data brokers.

Legal bases (EEA and UK)

• Handling purchases you make: performing our contract with you (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).
• Usage statistics and app settings: our legitimate interest in keeping the app working and improving it (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). You can object at any time.

How long data is kept

• Data on your device: until you delete it in the app or delete the app.
• Usage events: kept by Google for up to 14 months.
• Purchase records: kept by RevenueCat and Apple for as long as your purchases need them and the law requires.

Your rights

You can ask us to access, correct, delete or restrict your personal data, to transfer it, or object to how we use it. Because NOVO has no accounts, we can't look you up by name. Please include anything that helps us find your data, such as your App Store receipt. You can also complain to a data protection authority. In Poland that's the President of the Personal Data Protection Office (UODO).

Children

NOVO is not meant for children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect data from children.

Changes

We update this page when the app's data practices change, and note important changes in the App Store release notes. The date at the top shows the current version.
