Privacy Policy

Introduction

Fern is a goal and habit tracking app created by GNK Softworks Ltd ("we", "our", or "us"). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our app.

Information We Collect

We collect the following types of information:

• Habit & Goal Data: The habits, goals, and progress you track within the app. This data is stored locally on your device and is never sent to our servers.
• Analytics Data: Anonymous usage data such as features used and session duration, sent to our servers to help improve the app.
• Advertising Data: Device identifiers and usage patterns shared with our advertising partners to display ads in the free tier.
• Device Information: Device type, operating system, and app version for troubleshooting and improvements.

Fern does not require an account. We do not collect your email address or any personal contact information.

Data Storage & Security

Your habits, goals, and personal data are stored locally on your device—we do not have access to this information.
