WINTER ARC LITE · ANDROID
Privacy policy
Winter Arc Lite is operated by Nishant Munjal. Contact timepasscoding1994@gmail.com for support or privacy requests. This policy describes the Lite edition available as a direct Android download, plus this website and support email. It does not describe the unreleased full app with accounts and cloud backup.
No account or app cloud backup. Lite keeps your habit records in its local device database. Sign-in and Supabase cloud features are disabled in this edition.
Information saved on your phone
Lite stores the information you enter: your optional preferred name, goals, arc dates and duration, habit names and categories, targets and schedules, reminder preferences, completion amounts, notes, mood check-ins, reflections and saved chapters. Depending on what you write, these records may contain fitness, wellness or other personal information.
These habit records are used on your device to display and manage your progress. Lite does not upload them to a developer-operated account or cloud-backup service. Your device’s operating-system backup and transfer settings may separately include app data; those services are distinct from Lite.
Reminders and device access
If you allow notifications, Lite schedules local habit reminders. A notification may show a habit title on your lock screen. You can change reminders in the app or disable notifications in Android settings.
Lite does not provide features that read your contacts, messages, photos, microphone, camera, calendar or GPS location. Mood and fitness entries are entered by you. Lite does not integrate with Health Connect or wearable sensors.
Advertising and analytics
Lite has no advertising or dedicated analytics SDK in this release. We do not sell your personal information or use your habit entries for advertising. Website traffic and download handling are separate from your local app records.
This website and APK downloads
The website and APK download are hosted through OpenAI Sites and its hosting infrastructure. Visiting the site or downloading the APK involves sending ordinary web-request information, such as an IP address, requested URL and browser information, to the hosting service. Sites records website traffic analytics. This website does not receive your local habit records, and downloading the APK does not create an app account.
Hosting services may process information outside your country. See OpenAI’s privacy policy for information about its services. The website’s request logs and provider records are not erased by clearing data in the Android app.
Support email
If you email us, we receive your email address and the information you choose to send. Messages are processed through Gmail, provided by Google, and used to respond to your question or request. Please do not send passwords, sign-in codes or private journal entries. Google’s privacy policy describes its services.
Support correspondence is retained as needed to handle the request and related follow-up. You can ask us to delete it; if information must be retained for a specific legal obligation or an unresolved request, we will explain that in our response. Hosting-provider records follow the provider’s applicable retention practices rather than the app’s local deletion control.
Storage, security and retention
Your app records remain on the device until you clear them or remove app storage, subject to separate operating-system backups or transfers. The local database is not separately encrypted by Lite. Protect your device with a screen lock; someone who can open the app on your unlocked phone may be able to read its records.
The website and APK download use HTTPS. No storage or transmission method can be guaranteed completely secure.
Delete your data
In Lite, open My Arc → Privacy & data → Clear device progress, type CLEAR, and confirm. This removes the current arc, saved chapters, entries, notes, reflections and any local restore-recovery copy, and removes app reminders. If reminder cleanup reports a problem, reopen the app and check notification settings.
There is no Lite cloud account to delete. We cannot remotely access or erase the local records on your phone. Manage any device-system backups through the relevant backup provider. Read the data-deletion instructions for more detail.
Age suitability
Lite and this website are intended for people aged 13 and up, subject to any higher applicable minimum age of digital consent. They are not directed at children under 13. Lite does not create age-verified accounts. A parent or guardian with a privacy concern can contact timepasscoding1994@gmail.com; please avoid including the child’s private journal contents.
Your rights and policy changes
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete or obtain a copy of personal information, restrict or object to its processing, or raise a complaint with a data-protection authority. Contact us to make a request concerning information we hold, such as support correspondence. We do not have access to guest records stored only on your device.
We will update this page and its effective date when data handling changes. Adding accounts or cloud backup would require updated disclosures before those features are offered.
