Abraham Zenebe(“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates Become, an app that helps you build habits and track personal goals and journal entries. We respect your privacy and are committed to being transparent about the limited data involved in running the app.
1. Summary
Become does not require you to create an account and does not ask for your name, email address, phone number, or other personal contact details to use the app. All of your habits, goals, and journal entries are stored locally on your device. We do not operate a backend server, and nothing you enter in the app is transmitted to us or to any third party.
2. Information Stored on Your Device
To provide its core features, Become stores data locally on your phone or tablet using on-device storage. This may include:
- Habits, goals, and routines you create
- Journal entries and personal notes
- Streaks, completion history, and progress statistics
- App settings and preferences
This data is used only to run the app and show you your own progress. It stays on your device and is never uploaded to a server, because Become does not use a cloud backend or account system.
3. Information We Do Not Collect
Become does not collect or have access to:
- Account registration or login details
- Location data
- Motion, activity, or other device sensor data
- Contacts, photos, microphone recordings, or camera data
- Payment or billing information within the app
Become does not use advertising networks, analytics services, or crash-reporting tools, so no device or usage data is shared with third parties.
4. Notifications
The app may send optional local reminders to help you stay consistent with your habits and goals. If you grant notification permission, reminders are scheduled directly on your device. You can disable notifications at any time through your device settings.
5. Permissions
The app may request access to the following:
- Notifications — optional, for habit and goal reminders
- Boot completed — used to restore scheduled reminders after your device restarts
We request only the permissions needed for these features. Denying optional permissions may limit reminders but will not block core use of the app.
6. Children's Privacy
Become is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children, and since all data stays on-device with no account system, we do not collect personal information from anyone, regardless of age.
7. Data Retention and Deletion
Your habits, goals, journal entries, and progress remain stored on your device until you delete them within the app, uninstall the app, or clear the app's storage from your device settings. Because we do not operate a server, we do not hold a separate copy of your data and cannot recover it if it is deleted from your device.
8. Security
Since your data is stored only on your device rather than on a server we control, its security depends largely on the security of your device. We recommend protecting your device with a passcode, biometric lock, or other security feature to help keep your information safe.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the app or legal requirements. When we make material changes, we will update the effective date at the top of this page. Continued use of the app after an update means you accept the revised policy.
