Privacy Policy
Ebb is an app that helps you cut down or quit nicotine pouches and snus. It is made by Oleksandr Dordiuk, an independent developer ("we"). This policy explains what data the app handles and where it goes.
Data stored on your device
When you use Ebb, the app stores the following on your iPhone:
- your log entries: time, product, nicotine strength and optional notes;
- your plan: mode (cut down or quit), daily limits and start dates;
- cravings you record: time, strength, trigger and outcome;
- settings such as product prices, currency and notification preferences.
This data is shared only with Ebb's own widgets and, if you use one, Ebb on your Apple Watch. The phone and the watch exchange it directly through Apple's WatchConnectivity. It is never sent to us.
iCloud sync (optional)
If you have Ebb Pro and turn on iCloud sync, your data is stored in your private iCloud database (Apple CloudKit) under your Apple ID, so it can appear on your other devices. We cannot see or access this data. Apple's handling of iCloud data is described in Apple's Privacy Policy.
Purchases
Purchases of Ebb Pro are processed by Apple. We never see your payment details. To check that a purchase is valid and to unlock Pro, the app uses RevenueCat, a subscription service. RevenueCat receives an anonymous app user ID, information about your purchases and transactions, and basic technical data such as device model, OS version, app version and country. With a purchase, RevenueCat also gets the screen the Pro offer was opened from (for example, onboarding or settings), so we can see which offers work. It does not receive your name or email. See RevenueCat's Privacy Policy.
Apple Ads
Ebb may be advertised in App Store search results (Apple Ads). To see which campaigns and search terms bring people to Ebb, the app sends RevenueCat, once per install, an attribution token from Apple's AdServices framework. With it, RevenueCat learns from Apple whether the install came from an Ebb ad and, if so, the campaign, ad group and search term. The token contains no advertising identifier (IDFA) and nothing about who you are. This is not tracking, so the app does not ask for permission to track you.
App Store statistics
If you allowed sharing with app developers in iOS (Settings › Privacy & Security › Analytics & Improvements), Apple shares aggregated App Store statistics and crash reports with us. Apple decides what is included; see Apple's Privacy Policy.
Notifications
Reminders and milestone notifications are scheduled on your device. Nothing about them is sent to us.
What we don't do
- We don't sell or share your data.
- We don't show ads in the app and don't track you across other apps and websites, so the app does not ask for permission to track you.
- We don't use analytics or crash reporting services: the app sends no usage statistics.
Health information
Entries about nicotine use are personal, which is why they stay on your devices and in your own iCloud. Ebb is not a medical device and does not give medical advice.
Deleting your data
You can delete any entry in the app. Deleting the app removes all data stored on your device. If you used iCloud sync, you can also remove Ebb's data in Settings › your name › iCloud › Manage Account Storage.
Age
Ebb is intended for adults (18+).
