Privacy Policy

Hard Mode is built and operated by Tundra Industries (Hawaii, USA). We respect your privacy. This policy explains what we collect, why, how we use it, and what choices you have.

What we collect

On-device data. Your challenge rules, daily check-offs, water logs, streak history (“the ledger”), and your progress photos live ONLY on your device (and inside your own iCloud device backup, which we cannot access). Hard Mode has no server of its own — there is nowhere for us to upload your photos to, and we never see them.

Anonymous purchase ID. Purchase verification (RevenueCat) uses a random anonymous ID and your purchase/subscription status so your unlock survives reinstalls. It does NOT contain your name, email, location, photos, health data, or any personally identifying information.

Crash and error reports. When the app crashes or hits an unexpected error, the device sends an anonymous report so we can fix bugs. These reports include the crashing code path and device model. They do not include your content or personal information.

Payment data. All payments are processed by Apple via the App Store. We do not see or store your credit card or Apple ID. We receive only a confirmation that you purchased.

What we DO NOT collect

• Your name, email, or phone number (unless you contact support)
• Your location
• Your photos — the camera is used only to take progress photos you choose to take, and they never leave your device
• Your contacts or microphone
• Any health data through Apple HealthKit
• Any tracking IDs for advertising
• Any biometric data

How we use what we collect

We use the data we collect only to provide and improve the app: to verify your purchase across devices, to diagnose crashes, and to understand which features are useful. We never use it for advertising or sell it to third parties.

Third-party services

RevenueCat handles purchase verification. They receive only your anonymous app user ID and your purchase status. See their privacy policy at revenuecat.com/privacy.

Apple App Store processes payments. See apple.com/legal/privacy/.

Data retention

On-device data (including photos) stays until you delete it in the app or uninstall. The anonymous purchase ID persists with RevenueCat so we can restore your purchase if you reinstall. You can request its deletion at any time by emailing [email protected].

Your rights

You can delete your local data by uninstalling the app. You can request deletion of your anonymous purchase ID by emailing us at [email protected]. Under GDPR, CCPA, and similar regulations, you have the right to access, correct, port, and erase your data — even though we collect very little of it. Contact us with any request and we will respond within 30 days.

Children

Hard Mode is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with information, please contact us at [email protected].

Changes

We may update this policy. When we do, we update the “Last updated” date above and notify users via an in-app banner for material changes.
