Privacy Policy
Last updated: 16 July 2026
Nixotine is private by design. There’s no account, no tracking, and no server that collects your information. This policy explains exactly what the app touches.
The short version
- No account, ever. Nixotine doesn’t ask for a login, email, name, or phone number to work.
- We don’t collect your data. We operate no analytics servers and receive nothing about how you use the app.
- No tracking or ads. There are no advertising or analytics SDKs, and we don’t use the Advertising Identifier (IDFA) or track you across apps or websites.
- Your data stays yours. It lives on your device and, if you use iCloud, in your own private iCloud, never with us.
What the app stores
Your content — your quit date, streaks, mood check-ins, journal notes, logged cravings and slips, “why you started” reasons, and village/progress — is created and stored on your device using your operating system’s on-device storage. This is what powers your streak, your recovery timeline and the app’s features. It is not transmitted to us.
iCloud backup & sync
If you are signed into iCloud on your device, your data may back up to your own personal iCloud account. This means:
- The data is stored in your personal iCloud account, on Apple’s infrastructure, not on any server we control.
- It is protected by your Apple ID and Apple’s encryption. We cannot see it.
- It restores if you reinstall the app on a device signed into the same account.
- If you’re not signed into iCloud, the app simply keeps everything on-device, and nothing is uploaded.
Notifications
If you grant permission, Nixotine schedules local notifications on your device for streak reminders, craving check-ins and milestones. These are generated and delivered on-device; no notification content is sent to us. You can change or revoke notification permission anytime in your device settings.
Subscriptions & purchases
Nixotine Pro subscriptions and purchases are processed by the Apple App Store (or Google Play) under its own privacy policy. We never see or store your payment details, and we operate no server that receives purchase information. We only receive an anonymous signal from the store about whether a subscription is active, in order to unlock Pro features.
How your data is used
On-device data is used solely to power the app’s features — show your streak, build your village, and display your history. Because it never leaves your device, we cannot access it.
Your control & deletion
Because your data lives on your own device and iCloud, you stay in control:
- Erase everything in the app at any time from Profile → Reset all data.
- Delete the app to remove everything stored on that device.
- To remove any iCloud copy, delete the app’s data for your Apple ID in iOS Settings → [your name] → iCloud → Manage Account Storage, or sign out of iCloud.
Because we do not collect or hold your personal data, most data-subject requests (access, deletion, portability under GDPR/CCPA) are satisfied directly on your device.
Children
Nixotine is intended for adults trying to quit vaping and is not directed to children under 13. Since the app collects no personal data, none is gathered from anyone.
Changes
We may update this policy as the app evolves. Material changes will appear here with a new “last updated” date.
