Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 9, 2026

StopNic ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application ("App").

1. Information We Collect

Information you provide directly:

• Account information (email address, name, age, gender)
• Onboarding data (smoking habits, triggers, quit date, motivation)
• Mood and emotional tracking data
• SOS session interactions and chatbot conversations
• Community posts and interactions
• Notes and personal reflections you save in the app

Information collected automatically:

• Device information (device type, operating system, unique device identifiers)
• Usage data (features used, session duration, lesson progress)
• Crash reports and performance data

Camera access: The SOS feature uses your front-facing camera to display a live mirror view. Camera images are displayed locally on your device only and are never transmitted, stored, or processed by our servers.

2. How We Use Your Information

• To track your progress and display statistics
• To improve our content, features, and services
• To process payments and manage subscriptions

3. AI-Powered Features

Our SOS chatbot uses third-party AI services to generate responses. Conversation data sent to these services is used solely to generate responses and is not used to train AI models. We do not share personally identifiable information with AI providers. Conversations may be stored on our servers to provide you with session history.

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. We may share information with:

• Service providers: Cloud hosting, analytics, payment processing, and AI services that help us operate the App
• Legal compliance: When required by law, regulation, or legal process
• Business transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets

5. Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored on secure cloud servers. We implement industry-standard security measures including encryption in transit and at rest. However, no method of electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you services. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us at the email address below.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Correct inaccurate data
• Delete your data
• Object to or restrict processing of your data
• Export your data in a portable format
• Withdraw consent at any time

8. Children's Privacy

The App is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have collected information from a child under 13, please contact us immediately.

9. Third-Party Services

The App may contain links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.

10. Push Notifications

With your permission, we send push notifications for craving support, daily content, milestone celebrations, and check-ins. You can disable notifications at any time through your device settings.

11. Subscriptions and Payments

Payments are processed through Apple's App Store. We do not directly collect or store your payment card information. Please refer to Apple's privacy policy for information about how they handle payment data.
