5. Sharing & Processors

We do not sell or share your personal data for cross-context behavioral advertising. We use processors that act on our instructions:

  • Apple/Expo (push notification delivery)

Where required by law or to protect rights and safety, we may disclose information to authorities.

6. Leaderboard Transparency

If you use the leaderboard, your display name, level, points, and longest streak are visible to other authenticated users. Your email is not displayed.

7. International Transfers

Your data may be processed in countries other than your own. When we transfer data internationally, we rely on appropriate safeguards (e.g., EU Standard Contractual Clauses and, where applicable, the UK Addendum). You can request more information via our contact email.

8. Retention

  • Account & Habit Data: kept while your account is active; deleted or anonymized within 30 days after account deletion.
  • Backups/Logs: may persist for up to 90 days then are purged automatically.
  • Legal Holds: minimal data may be retained where required by law.

9. Security

We use industry-standard protections including encryption in transit (TLS) and at rest by our providers, access controls, and role-based security. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. Where required, we will notify you and/or authorities of data incidents in accordance with law.

10. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or port your data, and to object to certain processing. If we rely on consent (e.g., push notifications), you may withdraw it at any time in settings or your device OS settings.

To exercise rights, contact support@ploreon.com. We may need to verify your identity and will respond within applicable deadlines.

EEA/UK Users

You may lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. If we appoint an EU/UK representative, their details will be published in this Policy.

11. Children’s Privacy

The App is intended for users aged 13+. For EEA/UK, parental consent may be required where the applicable digital consent age is higher. We do not knowingly collect data from children below these thresholds. If you believe we have such data, contact us to remove it.
