Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how Try Easier LLC ("Try Easier," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and handles your information when you use the Try Easier app and website at tryeasier.app ("Services"). We keep this straightforward because your privacy matters and the language shouldn't require a lawyer to understand.
Information We Collect
The Try Easier app is designed to work primarily on your device. Here is what we collect and why:
- Habit and goal data — Your habits, goals, and logs are stored locally on your device. If you choose to enable cloud backup, this data is stored securely on our servers so you can restore it or sync across devices.
- Account data — You can use the app without an account, with your data staying on your device. To enable cloud backup and sync, the app offers Sign in with Apple or Sign in with Google. When you use one of these, we receive the email address associated with that account (Sign in with Apple may provide a private relay address instead of your real one). We use this only for account access and backup — never for marketing.
- Usage data — We may collect basic, de-identified diagnostic information (such as crash reports, error diagnostics, or feature usage counts) to keep the app stable and improve it. This data is not used to identify you personally.
- Research data (optional) — If you choose to participate in our habit-formation research program (off by default, opt-in via an in-app consent screen, limited to users 18 and older), the app shares your habit activity data and your answers to occasional optional questions with our research partners. This data is de-identified before sharing — it never includes your name, email address, or anything else that identifies you personally — and is analyzed only in aggregate with data from other participants. The research data also records the time zone set on your device, alongside each event timestamp, so activity patterns can be analyzed correctly across time zones and daylight-saving changes, stored without any link to your identity and never used for advertising. You can withdraw at any time from Settings → Research Participation, and you can request deletion of research data you have already contributed.
We do not collect your real name, email address, phone number, or payment information unless you explicitly provide it (for example, in-app purchase transactions are handled entirely by Apple or Google).
Website Visitors
The tryeasier.app website sets no cookies and runs no analytics. Like nearly all websites, it is served through a hosting provider (Cloudflare), which processes visitor IP addresses as a technical necessity of delivering the site. We do not access or store this information ourselves.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect solely to operate and improve the Try Easier app. Specifically:
- To provide, maintain, and improve the Services
- To enable cloud backup and sync features if you opt in
- To diagnose technical problems and fix bugs
- To support our opt-in habit-formation research program, if you have given consent
We do not sell your data. We do not share your personal information with advertisers or third-party marketing companies. We may disclose information if required to do so by law or a valid legal process, and only to the extent required.
Data Storage and Security
Local data is stored on your device using standard platform storage. Cloud data is stored using Supabase, a third-party infrastructure provider, with encryption in transit and at rest. We take reasonable steps to protect your information, though no system is completely secure.
How Long We Keep Your Data
Local data stays on your device until you delete it or uninstall the app. Cloud backup data is kept for as long as your account exists and is deleted when you delete your account. Research data you have contributed is retained for the duration of the research program unless you request its deletion. Crash and diagnostic data is retained only briefly by our diagnostics provider and then discarded.
Third-Party Services
The app uses the following third-party services to operate:
- Supabase — cloud database and authentication
- RevenueCat — subscription and purchase management
- Sentry — crash reporting and error diagnostics
- Apple App Store / Google Play — app distribution and payment processing
Each of these services has their own privacy policy governing how they handle data.
Where Your Data Is Processed
Cloud data is processed on servers in the United States. If you use the app from outside the United States, your data is transferred there. Our infrastructure providers maintain standard contractual safeguards for international transfers.
Your Rights
You can use Try Easier entirely offline without enabling cloud backup. Wherever you live, we extend the same rights to you: you can access the data we hold about you, correct it, receive a copy of it, and delete it. You can delete your account and all associated data at any time from within the app settings. If you participate in the research program, you can withdraw and request deletion of your contributed research data at any time, independently of your account. To exercise any of these rights, use the in-app controls or contact us at the address below; we respond within one month. If you live somewhere with a data protection authority, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with it.
Children
The Services are not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the effective date at the top of this page. Continued use of the Services after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
