Timber Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 26, 2026

Timber is a habit tracker. This policy explains what information the app handles and how. The short version: your habits are stored on your device and backed up to your private Timber account so you can restore them on a new phone. We don’t use analytics or advertising, and we never sell or share your information.

Information Timber handles

What	Why	Where it lives
Habits, notes, check-ins, streaks, challenges, trophies, level and settings	To run the app and back up your progress	On your device, and in your account on our cloud database
Account email address (only if you create an account)	To let you sign in and reset your password	In our authentication service
Account password	To protect your account	Never stored as typed. Only a salted, one-way hash is kept by our authentication service
An anonymous account ID	To link your backed-up data to you, even before you add an email	In our authentication service and cloud database
Coach messages (daily nudge, weekly/monthly reports)	To show your coaching	On your device only
The first name you give the coach	To personalise greetings and coaching	On your device only
Proof photos you choose to take or pick	To show your progress in Camera Roll and on each habit	On your device only. Photos are not uploaded

How your data is stored and protected

• Timber’s cloud database and sign-in are provided by Supabase (supabase.com), which acts as our data processor and stores the data on our behalf.
• Data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS) and at rest.
• Access rules in the database ensure each account can read and change only its own data.
• We don’t sell, rent or share your information with anyone, and we don’t use it for advertising.

Coach

Timber’s coach writes your daily nudge and weekly/monthly reports on your device. On phones that support it, it uses the AI model built into your phone (Apple Intelligence on iPhone, Gemini Nano on Android). Otherwise it’s generated from your numbers by the app itself. Your habit data is never sent anywhere to create these messages. You can turn the coach off in Settings → Coach.

Permissions

• Camera is used only when you choose to snap a proof photo for a habit.
• Photo library is used only when you choose a photo from your library as proof. Timber only receives the photo you select.
• Notifications are used for the daily check-ins and habit reminders you turn on. They’re scheduled on your device; no notification content leaves your device.

You can turn any of these off at any time in your device’s settings.

Tracking, analytics and advertising

Timber contains no advertising, no analytics or crash-reporting SDKs, and no tracking of any kind. It does not use your data to track you across apps or websites.

Keeping and deleting your data

We keep your data for as long as your account exists.

• Delete a single habit, check-in or photo from inside the app. Deletions sync to your account.
• Delete your account and all of its data: Settings → Account → Delete account, or Settings → Erase all data. This permanently removes your data from our cloud database and from your device.
• Signing out removes your data from the device; it stays in your account until you delete it.
• Guest (anonymous) backups that haven’t been used for a long time may be deleted.
• You can also email riserapp.support@gmail.com to request deletion of your account and data.

Children

Timber is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from children.

Changes

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted at this address with a new date.
