Privacy Policy (English)

Protecting your personal data is very important to us. Because the "Grovy" app is designed to maximize your privacy, we collect as little data as possible by default. Below you will find out what happens to data in this app.

1. Data Controller Data Controller / Provider: Tina Schill Im Seidenfaden 4 77654 Offenburg, Germany Contact: Email: [email protected]

2. No Registration and Local Storage

• No User Account: Using Grovy does not require registration or the creation of a user account.
• Local Storage: All data that you enter in the app or that is generated through its use (e.g., your achievements) is stored exclusively locally on your own device. We do not have access to this data at any time, as it is not transmitted to any server of ours.

3. App Permissions & Integrations (iOS) For the app to be fully functional, it asks for certain permissions upon first launch. You can allow or revoke these at any time in your iPhone settings:

• Apple Screen Time API (Family Controls): Grovy uses the Screen Time API to block distracting apps during your focus sessions. We do not monitor, record, store, or transmit any data about your app usage, which apps you use, or your browsing history. The blocking happens entirely locally on your device in a secure sandbox provided by Apple.
• Apple Health (HealthKit): Grovy requests access to Apple Health to read and write health and fitness data (e.g., mindfulness minutes). Your health data is processed entirely locally on your device. We do not sell your health data, nor do we transfer it to third parties or our own servers.
• Apple Calendar (EventKit): Grovy requests access to your calendar to display your upcoming events alongside your daily routines. This data is only read and processed locally on your device. We do not collect, store, or transmit your calendar data to our servers.
• Notifications / Push Notifications: If you allow this, the app will send you notifications. These notifications are controlled locally by your iPhone's operating system. No data is sent to external push services.
• Photo Library: This permission is exclusively needed so that you can save the achievements you earned in the app as an image directly to your photo library. The app does not read your other private photos and does not upload them.

4. In-App Purchases The app offers in-app purchases. These purchases are processed completely and directly via the Apple App Store (Apple Distribution International Ltd.). We do not receive any payment data (such as credit card numbers or bank details) from you. We only see the confirmation from Apple as to whether a purchase was successful in order to unlock the corresponding function in the app. Apple's privacy policy applies here.

5. Data Export, Import, and iCloud Backup You have full control over your data:

• You can independently export and import your data (e.g., to transfer it to a new device).
• Where you back up this data (e.g., in your private iCloud or on another storage medium) is entirely up to you. We have no access to it.

6. Your Rights Since we do not store any personal data on our own servers, we cannot provide you with data information or delete data for you.

• If you want to irrevocably delete all data of the app, you simply have to uninstall the "Grovy" app from your iPhone. This will automatically delete all locally stored data.
