Data Storage and Security

Local Storage

By default, all your personal data in Habit365 is stored locally on your device. This means your habit information, statistics, and preferences remain under your control and are protected by your device’s built-in security features, including:

iOS/iPadOS device encryption
Face ID or Touch ID protection (when device is locked)
Secure Enclave technology

iCloud Synchronization

When you choose to enable iCloud sync in Habit365, your data is securely transmitted and stored using Apple’s iCloud infrastructure. This provides several benefits and protections:

End-to-End Encryption: Your Habit365 data is encrypted before leaving your device and can only be decrypted on your other authorized devices.
Apple’s Security Standards: iCloud meets rigorous international security standards and complies with data protection regulations.
Your Control: You can disable iCloud sync at any time from within Habit365 settings or through your device’s iCloud settings.

Data Retention

Habit365 retains your data for as long as you maintain an active use of the application. If you choose to delete your data through the app’s settings, all local data will be permanently removed. If iCloud sync is enabled, you may also need to remove data from iCloud through your Apple account settings for complete deletion.

Habit365 integrates with the following third-party services to provide full functionality:

Apple Services

Apple iCloud: For optional data synchronization across your devices. Apple’s privacy policy applies to data stored in iCloud.
