QUITTHAVEN

Privacy Policy

Effective Date: August 12, 2025

This Privacy Policy describes how MindSpace Studios LLC ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and discloses information, and what choices you have with respect to the information when you use our mobile applications, QUITTHAVEN and HomeFit (the "Apps" or "Services").

Your privacy is critically important to us. QUITTHAVEN is designed to help you manage problematic pornography use through personalized Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) principles. HomeFit is designed to help you maintain physical wellness and fitness goals. Due to the sensitive nature of the data you may share with us in both applications, we are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your information with the utmost care and transparency.

By using the QUITTHAVEN or HomeFit Apps, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

QUITTHAVEN and HomeFit integrate with various third-party services, including advertising networks. These services may collect and process information about your use of the Apps according to their own privacy policies.

  • Google AdMob: Used for displaying banner and native ads. AdMob may collect device identifiers, location data, and other information to serve personalized ads.

5. Data Security

We implement robust security measures designed to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:

  • Pseudonymization: All user-generated data and personal information is pseudonymized by associating it with a Firebase-generated User ID (UID).
  • Encryption: Data is encrypted in transit (e.g., using HTTPS/TLS) and at rest (e.g., Firestore encryption).
  • Access Controls: Strict access controls are in place to limit who can access user data.
  • Secure Infrastructure: We leverage Firebase's secure and scalable infrastructure.
  • Anonymization: Where feasible and appropriate, we anonymize sensitive data for analysis and research purposes.

However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
