1. Overview

The short version: We collect the minimum data needed to deliver a personalized quit experience. We do not sell your personal data. Your health information is yours.

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

By using our Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Policy.

2. Information We Collect

Information you provide directly:

  • Account information: Name, email address, and authentication credentials (including third-party sign-in via Google or Apple)
  • Quit profile: Nicotine product type (cigarette/vape), daily usage, price per pack/pod, quit date, and quit motivations
  • Health and behavior data: Craving logs, trigger patterns, mood check-ins, and progress milestones you record in the app
  • Preferences: Notification settings, language, and feature preferences
  • Communications: Messages you send to our support team

Information collected automatically:

  • Usage data: Features used, session duration, in-app navigation patterns, and interaction logs
  • Device information: Device type, operating system version, unique device identifiers, and app version
  • Crash reports: Error logs and diagnostic data to help us improve stability
  • Purchase data: Subscription status and transaction identifiers (we do not store full payment card details)

Information from third parties:

  • Authentication providers: When you sign in with Google or Apple, we receive your name and email address from those providers
  • Analytics services: Aggregated, anonymized usage statistics from analytics platforms
  • Payment processors: Subscription and entitlement status from Apple App Store and Google Play

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

  • Provide and personalize the Service: Generate your quit plan, calculate savings, display progress, and tailor crisis support to your specific triggers
  • Deliver notifications: Send motivational reminders, milestone celebrations, and craving support alerts (only if you grant notification permission)
  • Maintain and improve the Service: Diagnose technical issues, analyze usage patterns, and develop new features
  • Manage your account and subscription: Process authentication, verify subscription status, and handle support requests
  • Comply with legal obligations: Respond to legal processes and enforce our Terms of Service
  • Aggregate research: Generate anonymized, aggregate insights about quit patterns to improve the effectiveness of our program (your individual data is never shared)

We do not use your health or behavior data to serve you third-party advertising.

4. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share your data only in the following limited circumstances:

  • Service providers: Trusted third-party vendors who process data on our behalf — such as cloud hosting, analytics, push notification delivery, and subscription management (Adapty). These providers are contractually bound to use data only as directed by us.
  • Authentication services: Firebase Authentication handles sign-in processes. Your credentials are never stored directly by NiqOut.
  • Legal compliance: If required by law, court order, or valid legal process, we may disclose information to authorities.
  • Business transfers: If NiqOut is acquired or merges with another company, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you and you will retain the rights described in this Policy.
  • With your consent: In any other circumstance where you have explicitly authorized sharing.

5. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. You may delete your account at any time through the app settings, which will permanently delete your profile and associated health data within 30 days.

We may retain certain anonymized or aggregated data indefinitely for research and analytics purposes. We may also retain information as required by applicable law or for legitimate business purposes such as fraud prevention.

6. Security

We implement industry-standard technical and organizational measures to protect your information — including encrypted data transmission (TLS), secure cloud infrastructure, and access controls that limit who can view your data.

However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security. If you believe your account has been compromised, please contact us immediately at security@niqout.com.

7. Your Rights & Choices

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

  • Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
  • Correction: Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data
  • Deletion: Request deletion of your account and personal data
  • Portability: Request your data in a machine-readable format
  • Opt-out of communications: Unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time; manage push notifications in your device settings
  • Restriction: Request that we restrict certain processing of your data

To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@niqout.com. We will respond within 30 days (or as required by applicable law).

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the UK, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

8. Children's Privacy

NiqOut is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or the applicable minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected data from a child, we will take steps to delete it promptly.

If you believe we have collected data from a child, please contact us at privacy@niqout.com.

9. Third-Party Services

Our Service integrates with third-party platforms whose privacy practices are governed by their own policies. Key integrations include:

  • Google Firebase — authentication and cloud infrastructure (Firebase Privacy)
  • Adapty — subscription and in-app purchase management (Adapty Privacy)
  • Apple App Store / Google Play — payment processing and app distribution

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these services. NiqOut is not responsible for the privacy practices of third parties.

10. International Transfers

Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own. These countries may have different data protection laws. When we transfer data internationally, we implement appropriate safeguards — such as Standard Contractual Clauses — to ensure your data remains protected in accordance with this Policy.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will notify you via the App or by email. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.

Your continued use of NiqOut after any changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the updated Policy.

Questions about your privacy?

We take your privacy seriously and are happy to answer any questions. Contact our privacy team at privacy@niqout.com. For general inquiries, reach us at hello@niqout.com. We aim to respond within 5 business days.
