We collect some of your personal data so that we can provide the best user experience. From time to time we will assess user behavior to help identify opportunities to improve the product.

If you do consent, we will only share data with third parties that embody privacy practices like ours and the reason for sharing will only be related to building a better product and providing a better experience to you.

We understand that as a Habiteer you entrust us with your data, and we take that trust very seriously. We understand that your data is yours so, you are entitled to export it at any time and delete it.

Introduction

This Privacy Policy sets out the privacy policies and practices of UpHabit Inc. (referred to as “UpHabit”, “our”, “us” or “we”) with respect to the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information in connection with UpHabit.

In this Privacy Policy, “personal information” means information about an identifiable individual, as further defined under applicable laws, and “including” and its derivatives means “including without limitation”.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to make changes to this Privacy Policy. The changes will be effective on the earlier of: (i) us providing you with notice of the changes (including by email, by posting notice on the Services, or by other reasonable means), or (ii) 14 days after the updated Privacy Policy has been posted on the Services. However, changes made to comply with the law will be effective immediately. You agree to regularly review this Privacy Policy to be aware of any changes.

Collection and Use of Information

We collect information in a number of ways:

Information you provide. This includes information you voluntarily provide when you register for the Services, update your account information, or use the Services. When you create an account, we collect your personal information that we use to create and manage your UpHabit account. This includes Name and Email.

When you authorize UpHabit to access third parties such as Google, Microsoft and Apple Contacts, we securely synchronize data required through our servers to provide the UpHabit product and its features, including our iOS, Mac, Android and web apps. This data includes contacts and (for Google/Microsoft) email history. We frequently synchronize data from these sources once you’ve given us permission so that your data remains up to date.

In certain situations, with the user’s consent (such as turning on the option for email enrichment), UpHabit may temporarily store email subject, headers, and body for parsing and analysis. None of this data is shared with any third party and it’s only stored on a temporary basis so the content can be processed in the manner you’ve given consent for.

Certain actions, such as enrichment, may require UpHabit to share minimal data with a provider (such as retrieve a contact’s name and profile picture from Twitter using their username).

Some actions inside the UpHabit app may require the user to navigate to third party websites inside the app. In those cases, the third party website’s privacy policy applies.

In the future, UpHabit may implement the following additional functionality as part of ongoing synchronization:

  • Option to enrich your contacts including job title, position, important dates
  • Option to display email subject and link to the last email for a contact
  • Option to display an email conversation chain

From time to time, we may analyze data to identify opportunities to improve the product and the user experience. This analysis will help us optimize for such things like how data is organized and presented. Any data analysis will be conducted in a secure manner by authorized personnel only and then securely discarded after use.

Information from your use of the Services. This includes information collected in our server logs (such as browser type, pages visited, referring page, IP address, date and time stamps, other statistics, and errors), about the device you are using to access the Services (such as hardware and operating system details). This also includes analytic data about usage of the app. We collect analytics and review them regularly to learn about general usage and identify opportunities for improvement. Samples of type of analytics we collect are user actions in the app, such as:

    • Progression in onboarding
    • Viewing screens
    • Actions attempted or completed
    • Account settings and stats

We may aggregate your information with other information (including aggregating information about your use of the Services with that of others) in a way that it isn’t attributable as being identifiably about you (including by aggregating it into groups or categories).

This Privacy Policy does not apply to restrict our collection, use or disclosure of such anonymous or aggregated information. However, this same information may be considered personal information if we combine it with other information (such as identifiers like your name) in a way that makes it attributable as being identifiably about you. This Privacy Policy will apply to your information when it is combined in this identifiable way.

We use your personal information:

  • To provide the Services to you. This includes processing your registration and maintaining your account, tailoring or customizing the Services to you, providing you with analytics and tips regarding your use of the Services.
  • To maintain and improve user experiences and overall quality of the Services, and to develop new services. This includes diagnosing problems with our systems, administering the Services, and analyzing how the Services are being used.
  • To create anonymous aggregated information.
  • For additional purposes that may be identified at or before the time that the information is collected, or that you subsequently consent to.
  • Share your UpHabit status with your contacts that are also using UpHabit with an option to hide your status if you choose to.

We may store or process your personal information on servers in jurisdictions outside of the USA or Canada, but currently, it only resides there. While your personal information is in a jurisdiction it may be accessed by the courts, law enforcement and national security authorities of that jurisdiction in accordance with the laws applicable in that jurisdiction.

If you have an UpHabit account, your data is securely retained so that we can provide the features of the product to you. We keep your data safe by using industry-best security practices in our infrastructure and we keep the data as long as you want to be a customer, deleting it fully when you delete their account.

If you would like an export of your data, please send a request in writing to privacy@uphabit.com. We will respond to your request within 72 business hours. If you would like your data removed from UpHabit, you can delete your account automatically in the app in Settings.

Disclosure of Information

We may disclose personal information:

  • To third party service providers and to affiliated entities in order to carry out work on our behalf. These services support UpHabit in providing a good user experience to support Engagement, Support, Bug & Crash Reporting, and Analytics. Third party service providers include:
  • If you choose to share personal information publicly, with other users of the Services, or with other sites (such as social media sites), we may facilitate this sharing. We do not control these third parties that you might choose to share your personal information with or how they use your personal information, and we are not responsible for their privacy practices. You should review the privacy policies of any third party before you decide to share your personal information with them and always exercise caution when publicly sharing your personal information.
  • To a third party where you express interest in or choose to purchase or participate in, a promotion, program, activity, service, or product offered by the third party.
  • As required or permitted by law, and to law enforcement agencies and private parties for the purposes of investigating fraud or other offenses.
  • To legal, financial, insurance, and other advisors or in connection with the sale, reorganization, or management of all or part of its business or operations.
