Privacy Policy — Compatible Partner
Effective date: 15 September 2026 · Last updated: 15 September 2026
1. Who we are
Compatible Partner (“the app”) is provided by ashutosh (“we”, “us”).
Contact for any privacy question, including the requests described in section 8: ashutoshrajput0909@gmail.com
2. In one paragraph
Compatible Partner is a private accountability app. You plan tasks, record what distracted you, and compete on a productivity score with up to four other people you have chosen and invited. There is no public feed, no recommendation engine, no advertising, and no analytics tracking. We do not sell your data, and we do not share it with anyone except the infrastructure provider that stores it (Google Firebase) and the people you personally invite into a collaboration.
3. What the app collects, and why
3.1 Account
| Data | Why | Where it lives |
|---|---|---|
| Email address | To sign you in and let you reset your password | Google Firebase Authentication only. It is deliberately never written to our database, so no other user can ever read it |
| Password | To sign you in | Firebase Authentication, hashed by Google. The app never sees or stores it |
3.2 Profile
| Data | Why |
|---|---|
| Display name | So partners know who they are competing with |
| Profile photo (optional) | The same |
| Short bio (optional) | The same |
3.3 What you record in the app
| Data | Why |
|---|---|
| Tasks — title, optional notes, priority, the day and times you planned, when you actually completed them | This is the product. Your productivity score is computed from what you planned against what you did |
| Distractions — how long, and anything you noted | So distraction is measured rather than merely felt. It reduces your score, capped, so that logging honestly stays cheap |
| Daily productivity figures | A per-day summary derived from the two above |
| Collaborations you create or join, and their invite codes | To group the people competing together |
| Challenges, their results, and rankings | The competition record |
| Extra Achievements, and the 1–10 points partners award them | A separate recognition system. These points never affect your productivity score |
| Rewards — what was promised, and whether it was delivered and confirmed | The app records commitments; it never handles money |
3.4 Technical
| Data | Why | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Notification token for your device | To deliver notifications to this installation | Stored privately. No other user can read which devices you own |
| Crash diagnostics | To find and fix crashes | Google Crashlytics. Collected only in released builds, never during development |
3.5 What the app does not collect
No location. No contacts. No microphone or call data. No browsing or app-usage history. No advertising identifier. No biometrics. No health data. No payment or financial data — rewards are recorded as promises between people, and the app never processes a payment.
There is no advertising SDK and no analytics SDK in the application.
4. Who can see what
This is the section worth reading carefully, because the app's whole purpose is showing some of your activity to specific other people.
Visible to the other members of a collaboration you joined (up to four people)
- Your display name, photo and bio.
- The tasks you create in that collaboration, including their titles, and whether and when you completed them.
- Your daily productivity figures for that collaboration.
- The Extra Achievements you post there and the points you were given.
- Every challenge, result, ranking and reward in that group.
Results are permanent by design: once a challenge is scored, the record cannot be edited or deleted by anyone, including us. That is what makes the history trustworthy, and it means a result naming you stays visible to that group.
Private to you
- Everything you create in Personal mode. No one else can read it.
- Your notification inbox.
- The list of devices registered to your account.
- Your email address.
Visible to any signed-in user of the app
- Your display name, photo and bio, if they already know your user ID — which is how a partner's name appears next to their score. The app does not let anyone browse or search the list of users.
Visible to us
We can technically access the data stored in our Firebase project in order to operate and debug the service. We do not read it otherwise.
5. Where your data is stored
Google Firebase, operated by Google LLC:
- Firebase Authentication — email and password.
- Cloud Firestore — everything in section 3.3, in the asia-south1 (Mumbai, India) region.
- Cloud Storage — profile photos.
- Cloud Messaging — notification delivery.
- Crashlytics — crash diagnostics.
If you use the app from outside India, your data is transferred to and stored in India. Google's own privacy policy applies to its processing: policies.google.com/privacy
6. How long we keep it
| Data | Kept |
|---|---|
| Your account and everything in it | Until the account is deleted (section 8) |
| Challenge results | Permanently, and immutably, for as long as the collaboration exists |
| Notifications | About 30 days, then deleted automatically |
| Crash diagnostics | Per Google Crashlytics' retention, currently 90 days |
| Data cached on your phone | Cleared when you sign out, and pruned after about 400 days |
7. Children
The app is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from them. If you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we will delete it.
8. Your choices and your rights
Notifications. You can turn notifications off for a device from the notifications screen inside the app, or in your phone's system settings. The app asks for permission once and never nags.
Editing and deleting individual data. You can change your name, photo and bio at any time from Profile → Edit profile, and delete tasks, distractions and your photo from inside the app. You do not have to delete your account to delete your data — what you can remove, and where.
Leaving a collaboration. You can leave at any time. Your name remains on past results, because a historical record that could be edited afterwards would not be a record.
Access, correction, export and deletion. Depending on where you live you may have a legal right to a copy of your data, to correct it, or to have it erased. Write to ashutoshrajput0909@gmail.com and we will respond within 30 days.
Deleting your account. Two routes, either of which is enough:
- In the app: Profile → Settings → Delete account.
- On the web, if you cannot sign in: compatible-partner.web.app/delete-account
Deleting is immediate and cannot be undone. Before you confirm, the app shows you exactly what happens, because some of it is not obvious:
Deleted immediately
Your profile, name and photo; everything in your Personal workspace; your notifications; your devices' notification registrations; your sign-in details.
Removed from your collaborations
You leave every group, your name on their member list becomes “Former member”, and your tasks there stop appearing. If you own a group it passes to its longest-standing member; if you are its only member, it is archived.
Kept, and this is the part worth reading twice
- Finished challenge results, including the name you had when each was scored. Your partners keep their own history, and a record that could be rewritten afterwards would not be a record. This is the one piece of your data that survives, and it is why the app tells you before you confirm rather than after.
- Extra Achievement points you gave to other people — the recognition belongs to whoever received it.
- Daily score figures inside a collaboration: numbers keyed to an account identifier, with no name attached.
Backups held by our infrastructure provider may retain copies for a short period before being overwritten.
9. Security
- All traffic to Google's servers uses TLS.
- Access is enforced by server-side security rules, not by the app. A modified copy of the app cannot read another person's private data, award itself points, change a result, or add itself to a collaboration.
- Those rules are covered by an automated test suite that runs on every change.
- Your email address is deliberately kept out of the database so that no other user can read it.
No system is perfectly secure, and we do not claim otherwise. Our source repository documents, in plain terms, the weaknesses this version knowingly accepts.
10. Changes to this policy
If we change this policy we will update the date at the top and, where the change is significant, tell you in the app.
