• Emotional Check-ins: Pre-session and post-session emotional state assessments
• Commitments: Session intentions and personal commitments you set
• Tilt Events: Records of tilt button presses, tilt types, intensity levels, and associated notes
• Reflections: Post-session notes, lessons learned, and performance self-assessments
• Tilt Profile: Your identified tilt types, triggers, and early warning symptoms
• Financial Data: Optional profit/loss tracking per session (stored locally only)

1.2 Automatically Collected Information

We may automatically collect:

• General usage patterns (feature engagement, session frequency)

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide core app functionality including session tracking, tilt intervention, and progress monitoring
• Generate personalized insights about your emotional patterns and tilt tendencies
• Offer relevant commitments and intervention strategies based on your history
• Improve app performance and user experience
• Fix bugs and troubleshoot technical issues

3. Data Storage and Security

3.1 Local Storage

TiltFree employs a local-first architecture. Your session data, commitments, tilt records, and personal reflections are stored directly on your device using secure local database technology (SQLite). This means:

• Your data remains under your control
• The app works offline
• Your sensitive information never leaves your device unless you explicitly choose to sync or backup

3.2 Cloud Sync (Optional Feature)

If cloud synchronization is enabled in future versions, your data may be stored on secure servers (Firebase) to enable cross-device access. You will be clearly notified before any cloud features are activated and can opt out at any time.

3.3 Security Measures

We implement industry-standard security measures including:

• Encrypted local database storage
• Secure data transmission protocols (HTTPS/TLS)
• No collection of banking or payment card information within the app

4. Data Retention

Your locally stored data remains on your device until you choose to delete it. You can:

• Delete individual sessions, commitments, or tilt records
• Clear all app data through your device settings
• Uninstall the app to remove all locally stored data

If cloud features are used, we retain synced data until you request deletion or close your account.

5. Your Rights and Choices

You have the right to:

• Access: View all data the app has collected about you
• Correction: Edit or update your information at any time
• Deletion: Remove your data from the app
• Export: Request a copy of your data in a portable format
• Opt-out: Disable optional data collection features

6. Third-Party Services

TiltFree may use the following third-party services:

• Analytics: Anonymous usage analytics to improve the app (no personally identifiable information)
• Crash Reporting: To identify and fix technical issues

These services have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them.

7. Children's Privacy

TiltFree is not intended for use by individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new Privacy Policy within the app and updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Your continued use of TiltFree after such changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
