Terms & Privacy
Last Updated: May 2026
FirstDownHabits is a tool to help you win your week. We treat your data with respect, we don't sell it, and we don't track you across the web. However, this is a "Beta" service provided "As Is." You are responsible for your own data backups.
1. Beta / Experimental Status
FirstDownHabits is currently offered as an early-stage, "beta" service. That means it may change, pause, or shut down at any time, and it may contain bugs.
Important: Please do not rely on FirstDownHabits for anything mission-critical. Do not use it as the only record for legal, financial, or emergency data.
2. Privacy & Data Use
We respect your privacy and data ownership. Here is strictly how we handle your information:
- Your Identity: We store your email address and a hashed (encrypted) version of your password so you can log in.
- Your Content: We store the tasks, goals, and reflections you create so the app can function.
- No Selling: We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information or task data to third parties/advertisers.
- Logs: Our hosting environment may keep limited technical logs (IP addresses) for security and abuse prevention.
- Location: Data is hosted in the United States.
3. Data Retention & Deletion
We keep your data until you delete it, ask us to delete it, or we retire the service.
You are in control: You may delete your account and all associated data at any time via the Settings page. This action is immediate and permanent. Once deleted, we cannot recover your data.
We provide an Export tool in the Settings area. We strongly recommend downloading your history periodically.
4. Acceptable Use
You agree not to use FirstDownHabits to:
- Post illegal content or solicit illegal acts.
- Harass, threaten, or intentionally harm others.
- Attack, overload, or otherwise misuse the service infrastructure.
We reserve the right to terminate accounts that violate these rules.
5. Free "As Is" Service
FirstDownHabits is provided on a free, "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, express or implied.
We do not guarantee 100% uptime, that data will never be lost due to technical failure, or that emails will always be delivered. You use this service at your own risk.
6. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, FirstDownHabits and its creators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, profits, or revenues, arising from your use of or inability to use the service.
