Privacy Policy — Burnout

1. Everything Runs on Your Device

Burnout is an on-device app. Your quit-smoking records — smoke-free days, milestones, nicotine clearance progress, logged cigarettes and cravings, journal entries, weight entries and settings — are written to a database on your device. There is no copy of them on any server, ours or anyone else's.

There are no user accounts. You cannot sign up, sign in or set a password, and we hold no profile for you. Turn off the network and the App keeps working exactly the same, indefinitely.

Some things do leave the device, and section 2 describes each: usage analytics and crash reports sent to Google's Firebase, subscription status handled by RevenueCat, and — only if you enter one — a promo code sent to us. None of your written entries leave the device: not your journal, your notes, your reasons for quitting or the triggers you log. A few numbers do travel inside the analytics events, and section 2.1 lists every one.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Analytics and Crash Reports

The App uses two Google services, Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics, to collect usage data and crash reports. They show us how the App is used and where it breaks. This includes device type, operating system version, app version, an app instance identifier generated on the device, and Firebase's own standard events, such as the first time the App is opened and how long a use of it lasts. On top of those, the App sends these events of ours, with exactly these details:

Finishing onboarding: whether you are quitting cigarettes, vaping or pouches, which goal you picked (quit, cut down, take a break or just track), and how many reasons you chose — not the reasons themselves.
Reaching a milestone: which milestone it was and how many smoke-free days you had when you reached it.
Logging a slip: how many cigarettes (or the equivalent) you logged and which product — not the trigger, the time or any note.
Finishing a craving session: how long it lasted, as a band such as "1 to 3 minutes", and how many of the tools you used — not the trigger or how strong the craving was.
Subscriptions: when the Pro screen is shown and from where, a purchase attempt and its plan type, a completed purchase (product, price and currency), a restore and whether it found an active subscription, and whether a promo code worked.

It does not include your journal entries, your notes, your reasons for quitting, your quit date, your weight, your name or your email address. Crash reports carry the technical details of the error and the state of the App when it happened; these are meant for fixing bugs, but an error message can sometimes include a date or a number the App was working with. Analytics is always on in the current version of the App.

The app instance identifier is not your name, your email address or an advertising identifier, and we never link it to one. It is still an identifier: the events above are grouped under it, so they are not anonymous. Firebase processes this data for us as our processor; their handling is described in Firebase's privacy documentation and in Google's privacy policy.

This website — not the App — uses Google Analytics to count visits and see which pages people read. The same Google privacy policy covers it.

Most pages on this website also load their typeface from Google's font service, fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com. Your browser fetches the font files directly from Google, so Google receives that request and the technical details every web request carries, including your IP address, your browser and the page you came from. We set no cookie through it and we receive nothing back from it. The same Google privacy policy covers it. Articles, tools and the home page also load a small script from news.google.com that draws Google's "Add as preferred source" button; Google receives that request under the same policy. Those three hosts and Google Analytics are the only outside addresses this website asks your browser to load anything from.

2.2 Subscription Data

If you subscribe to Burnout Pro, your purchase is processed through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store under their own terms of sale. We use RevenueCat to manage subscription status. RevenueCat receives a random app user ID that the App generates on your device — never a Burnout account ID, because there is no such thing — together with your purchase and receipt history from the store. The App also gives RevenueCat its Firebase app instance identifier, so subscription records and usage analytics can be matched to each other. We do not send RevenueCat your name, email, or payment details. Your payment information is handled entirely by Apple or Google. RevenueCat's handling is described in RevenueCat's privacy policy.

2.3 Our Other Apps

The current version of the App has no list of our other apps. If a later version adds a "More apps by me" page to its settings, this is how it works: to fill it, the App asks gainaura.app — a site of ours — for a public file listing our apps, and for the small icons beside them. It asks at most once a day, and only when you have opened settings. The request carries nothing: no identifier, no data of yours, not even which app is asking. It is a plain download, like opening a web page, and everything on that page still shows if it never succeeds.

2.4 Promo Codes

You can check a promo code on this website. When you type one at getburnout.app/code, your browser sends us that code so we can tell you whether it is good. We keep no record of that check, and it asks for nothing about you — no name, no email address, no account.

To use a code, you enter it in the App. The App then sends us the code, the random app user ID described in section 2.2 and whether your phone runs iOS or Android. We keep a record of that redemption — the code, that ID and the platform — so each code is counted once per device and its number of uses can be limited, and so it still works if you reinstall. Nothing else about you is sent, and the App contacts us at no other time.

2.5 What We Do Not Collect

We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, postal address or date of birth. We do not collect your journal entries, your notes, your reasons for quitting, your quit dates, your weight or your day-by-day history. The only figures from your tracking that leave the device are the counts listed in section 2.1 — the smoke-free day count when you reach a milestone, the number logged in a slip and the length band of a craving session — and they go to Firebase analytics, not into a record of you. There is no account, no profile and no contact list, and nothing in the App shares what you track with another person.

3. Information Usage

We use the data described above only to:

Improve app stability and fix crashes
Understand general usage patterns to improve the App
Manage subscription entitlements for Burnout Pro
Show you our other apps, in versions of the App that have that page
Tell you whether a promo code you typed on this website is good

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or rent any user information to third parties. Analytics and crash data goes only to our service providers — Firebase and RevenueCat in the App, Google Analytics on this website — for the purposes described above, and each is bound by its own privacy policy, linked in section 2.

Your records are not shared with anyone. There is no way to share them with another user, and no server of ours holds a copy. The counts in section 2.1 reach us only as analytics events.

5. Data Storage and Security

Your quit-smoking data is stored on your device in an SQLite database, protected by your device's own security. It goes no further. There is no server copy, so there is nothing of yours for us to lose, leak or be compelled to hand over. The only request the App makes to our own server is the promo-code redemption described in section 2.4, and it travels over an encrypted HTTPS connection, as do the analytics, crash and subscription requests.

5.1 Uninstalling Deletes Everything

Deleting the App deletes your data with it. The same goes for clearing the App's data or wiping the phone. We cannot restore any of it — we never had it — and there is no account to sign back into.

Export and import are how you carry your recovery to a new phone. In the App's settings, "Export my data" writes a single file holding everything the App knows; you keep that file wherever you like, and "Import data" reads it back in on the new device. Export before you go — not after.

The file is written on your device and shared only by the method you choose. We never receive it and keep no copy, so what happens to it afterwards is yours to decide.

6. Health Data

Burnout allows you to track health-related data such as cigarettes logged, smoke-free streaks, nicotine clearance progress, cravings, weight and cessation milestones. Your records are kept on your device and are never transmitted to our servers. The few counts listed in section 2.1 are sent to Firebase as analytics events.

We treat all health-related data with the highest level of sensitivity. Your health data:

Is never used for advertising, marketing, or data mining purposes
Is never sold to or shared with third parties
Is never used to build user profiles for commercial purposes
Remains entirely under your control on your device, to keep, export or delete as you choose

7. Notifications

Every reminder, milestone and streak notification Burnout sends is scheduled and generated by your own device. There is no push service, no push token and no server that can send you anything. Your device works out what to say and when, from the data already on it, and it does so offline.

You can turn notifications off at any time in your device settings.

8. Medical Disclaimer

Burnout is a tracking and motivation tool, not a medical service. It is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. If you are a heavy or long-term smoker, or if you have cardiovascular conditions, high blood pressure, or other health concerns, please consult a doctor before beginning a smoking cessation program. A healthcare professional can recommend appropriate support, including nicotine replacement therapy or prescription medication, to help you quit safely.

9. Children's Privacy

Burnout is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect any information from children under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a child under 13, please contact us immediately.

10. Changes to This Policy

We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time. Changes will be indicated by an updated revision date. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
