Hang Habit

Privacy Policy

Hang Habit is provided by Alliterate Labs LLC. This policy explains local workout data, optional app analytics, feedback and website services.

Your history and Apple Health

Hang Habit stores hang history, records and settings on your devices. Your paired iPhone and Apple Watch exchange session information. Your device backup may contain app data according to your Apple settings.

With your permission, supported Watch and AirPods workout features use Apple Health to save workouts and access workout energy and heart-rate information. Manual iPhone timing saves local history in Hang Habit and does not create an Apple Health workout. Motion sensors on supported Watch and AirPods devices help time exercises.

Optional app analytics

Starting with version 2.1 build 83, two independent choices in Settings → Analytics Sharing are off by default, including when upgrading. Declining either choice preserves every workout feature. Apple Health permission does not enable analytics.

App diagnostics: if enabled, the iPhone sends reviewed feature-use and reliability events, including save/sync errors, to Alliterate Labs through TelemetryDeck.

Exercise tracking: if enabled, the iPhone sends hang durations, grip types, personal-record and streak information, session counts, progress and limited motion measurements from rejected hangs. We use these to improve Hang Habit's exercise timing and progress tracking. This can include summaries of Watch and AirPods workouts received by the phone. We do not include heart-rate readings, calories, shoulder-pain answers, physiological recovery triggers or friend-timer workouts in these analytics.

Shared events include app/build version, device model, operating system, platform, language/locale, distribution context, event time and a generated identifier processed through TelemetryDeck's hashing system. We do not use this data for advertising. TelemetryDeck states that it applies an additional server-side hash and does not store IP addresses in its analytics service.

These choices control uploads from this iPhone. The updated Watch no longer uploads analytics directly. Older app and Watch versions can retain their previous automatic analytics behavior until updated; update both devices.

Turn a choice off in Settings to stop future collection for that category and cancel pending uploads. The switch cannot recall information already received by the provider or delete it. Events queued before consent, and events left from earlier app launches, are not uploaded by the new version.

Feedback and support

When you choose Send, the note you write, optional rating/experiment, app/build and operating-system information, distribution channel and request time are sent to our Cloudflare-hosted feedback endpoint and forwarded to our Slack workspace for review. No name, email address or analytics identifier is automatically attached. A note can still contain identifying information you choose to type; avoid including sensitive information.

Feedback is accessible to authorized workspace members and connected apps with access to the feedback channel. It is not a public internet post. A local copy of the most recent 50 submitted notes is retained on your device. Feedback submission is independent of the optional analytics choices.

Website and earlier app versions

The hanghabit.com website has separate analytics from the iPhone app. Outside the privacy and support pages, the website uses TelemetryDeck for page visits, link interactions and web-timer usage, including timer durations. The website stores a generated identifier in your browser’s local storage. The iPhone Analytics Sharing switches do not control website analytics.

Those website pages also use Microsoft Clarity to understand page interaction through session playback and heatmaps. Clarity can process interaction, device/browser and identifier information. Microsoft describes ordinary playback retention as 30 days and click/heatmap data and labeled or favorited sessions as 9 months. See Microsoft’s privacy statement and Clarity retention documentation for its processing. The privacy and support pages do not initialize either analytics service. Web pages load fonts from Google; font requests also reach Google’s servers.

The original App Store version 1.5 automatically sends session duration, grip and record information, available Watch workout calorie values, feature-use events and error diagnostics through TelemetryDeck. The optional analytics controls and calorie exclusion described above apply starting with version 2.1 build 83; they do not change older installed apps.

Earlier app and TestFlight versions used automatic analytics, and some earlier TestFlight versions included Microsoft Clarity. Build 83 does not include the Clarity SDK. Updating stops that SDK’s collection from the updated app; it does not erase information previously received by providers. We have not independently confirmed the contents of all historical recordings or arranged their deletion. Contact us about historical-data questions or requests.

Retention and data requests

  • Local app history and settings: remain on your devices until removed through available app/device controls. Apple Health records and device backups are managed separately through Apple settings.
  • Local feedback history: the app keeps the most recent 50 submitted notes; this local copy is separate from Slack's copy.
  • Slack feedback: our current free Slack plan keeps messages for up to one year. Only the most recent 90 days may be visible/searchable; that viewing limit does not mean deletion. We may delete individual feedback earlier when no longer needed or in response to a request.
  • TelemetryDeck analytics: we have not established an automatic deletion schedule. TelemetryDeck's query-retention window does not mean deletion; older events may remain in cold storage until deletion is arranged with the provider. Turning off sharing affects future collection, not previously received events.
  • Hosting: Cloudflare processes request/network information to deliver and secure the website and feedback endpoint. Cloudflare Web Analytics also measures page views and website performance, including on the privacy and support pages. These website measurements are separate from the app analytics switches. Its processing and retention are described in its privacy policy. The feedback function does not maintain its own feedback database.

For questions or deletion requests, contact Alliterate Labs LLC at [email protected]. Describe the feedback and approximate submission date if requesting removal of a note. We will review what we can identify and remove; we cannot promise to locate analytics events from a name or email because those are not sent with analytics.
