2. How We Use Your Information

• Service Delivery: To provide, maintain, and improve this service and deliver the features you use.

• Crash Reporting: We use Crashlytics (Google Firebase) to automatically capture app crashes and bugs, but only after you grant consent. No crash data is collected before consent.

• Support: To respond to your inquiries, provide customer support, and troubleshoot issues.

• Legal Compliance: To comply with applicable laws, regulations, and legal obligations.

3. Data Retention

• Active Accounts: We retain your data for as long as your account is active.

• Deleted Accounts: When you delete your account, your personal data (including smoking logs, journal entries, and account information) is permanently deleted from our servers immediately or within a reasonable period not exceeding 30 days. We do not use it after deletion, except for data we are required by law to retain and the usage records described in this section.

• Usage records from which we have removed your user ID, email, and other direct identifiers, and aggregated statistical data, may be retained for service analysis and improvement, such as understanding which features and content are used most. We retain these records only for as long as they remain useful for these purposes.

• Withdrawal of Consent: When you withdraw consent, we stop collecting such data going forward. Data already collected is not deleted by withdrawing consent; to delete it, use the "Delete Account" feature in the app.

4. Data Security

• Your data is encrypted in transit (SSL/TLS) and at rest in our Supabase database.

• We implement row-level security to ensure you can only access your own data.

• We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties as a standalone product. If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets, or similar business transaction, your personal data may be transferred to a successor as described in the "Business Transactions" section of this Policy.

5. Third-Party Services

• RevenueCat: For managing in-app subscriptions and subscription status. RevenueCat may process information necessary to manage your subscription and associate subscription status with your SOS Cat account.

• Google Sign-In: For authentication when you choose to sign in with your Google account. Google may process information necessary to authenticate your account.

• Sign in with Apple: For authentication when you choose to sign in with Apple. Apple may process information necessary to authenticate your account.

6. Audio & Music Content

• SOS Cat may provide music, audio tracks, soundscapes, voice content, or other audio experiences intended to support smoking cessation, relaxation, focus, motivation, or emotional well-being.

• Some music and audio content in SOS Cat is created with AI-assisted tools and curated, selected, and integrated by the SOS Cat team.

• Audio content is provided for informational, wellness, entertainment, and user experience purposes only. It is not medical treatment, therapy, psychological counseling, or a substitute for professional healthcare advice.

• We do not guarantee that any music or audio content will reduce cravings, improve health outcomes, prevent relapse, or result in successful smoking cessation.

• Audio playback activity: If enabled, SOS Cat may collect audio playback events, such as play events, skips, listening duration, and playback preferences, to improve the quality of the audio experience. Where required by applicable law, such collection will only occur after you provide your consent.

• Audio content provided within SOS Cat is intended for use within the App experience. Users may not copy, redistribute, reproduce, resell, or publicly distribute such content without authorization.

7. Business Transactions

If SOS Cat is involved in a merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets, or similar business transaction, your personal data (including your quit-smoking history data) may be transferred to a successor as part of that transaction. In that case:

• The successor must continue to comply with this Privacy Policy, or, before changing how your data is used, obtain your consent or notify you as required by applicable law.

• Before your data is transferred, we will notify you through an in-app notice and, where appropriate, by updating this policy, and tell you about the transaction and the choices available to you.

• You can delete your account and applicable personal data at any time using the "Delete Account" feature in the app.
