1. Scope

QuitMap is being built as a self-awareness and planning tool for adults who want to understand their cigarette history, reduce smoking over time, and review their own habit patterns. It is not medical advice and does not replace a clinician, quitline, emergency service, or local health authority.

The current local MVP stores information on the user's device only. Future hosted versions may use Supabase, push notification providers, app-store billing providers, analytics, and support tooling after separate review.

2. Data we handle

Quit profile

Country, region, cigarette size, cigarettes per day, years smoked, cigarettes in one pack, cost of one pack today, and taper mode.

Progress records

Token events, smoked or skipped logs, craving logs, daily receipts, progress history, and recovery estimates.

Spend estimate details

Past-year edits, selected currency, and number-quality signals.

Body Load inputs

Caffeine, alcohol, and replacement nicotine comparison inputs used to detect substitution patterns.

Notification settings

Quiet hours, opt-out state, permission status, snooze settings, and future device-token records.

Account and billing

Future sign-in identity, subscription status, billing platform, and support request content if enabled.

3. How data is used

  • Calculate lifetime cigarette count, distance, cost, and number-quality notes.
  • Build a gradual taper schedule and show next-token timing.
  • Generate local daily receipts, progress summaries, and review reports.
  • Detect possible substitution patterns across nicotine, caffeine, and alcohol inputs.
  • Prepare future account sync, export, deletion, notification, and billing flows.
  • Respond to support requests when a public support path exists.

4. Sharing and selling

The local MVP does not send the user's quit profile to a server. Future hosted versions should not sell personal or sensitive user data. Any future sharing must be limited to service providers needed to run the app, legal requirements, user-directed export, account support, and billing processors.

Future third-party services must be listed before launch, including hosting, authentication, push notifications, billing, analytics, customer support, crash reporting, and any map provider.

5. Security

The local MVP uses browser storage on this device. Future cloud versions must use HTTPS, user-owned rows, Row Level Security, least-privilege keys, and no server-only credentials in browser code.

6. Retention and deletion

Users must be able to export their data and request account deletion before public account launch. The final hosted version must define retention periods for local cache, account records, support requests, notification records, billing records, and backups.

Delete account controls must stay disabled until hosted accounts, identity verification, billing review, and final confirmation exist.

Current deletion controls are drafts. They do not delete a hosted account because hosted accounts are not connected yet.

7. User choices

  • Use the local demo without creating a cloud account.
  • Copy a local profile snapshot for internal QA.
  • Review the data rights center before account attach.
  • Turn notification nudges off when notification systems exist.
  • Request export or deletion once hosted accounts are live.

8. Children and age rating

QuitMap should not target children. Age rating, tobacco references, medical safety wording, and regional restrictions must be reviewed before public launch.

9. App-store requirements to finish

  • Apple: provide a public privacy policy URL in App Store Connect.
  • Apple: complete app privacy answers accurately for all collected data and partners.
  • Google Play: provide a public privacy policy URL in Play Console and inside the app.
  • Google Play: complete the Data safety form and account-deletion answers if accounts are enabled.
  • Both stores: publish a support URL and make deletion/export paths clear before submission.

10. Contact and support

Public support contact is not active yet. The future public page should include a support email, data request instructions, official quit-support resources by country, and response expectations.
