Privacy Policy

Last Updated: February 16, 2026

Overview

TetherBit is developed and operated by TetherBit. We're committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights.

By using TetherBit, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

What Data We Collect

Data Stored Locally on Your Device

All of your personal goal, habit, and routine data is stored locally on your iPhone. This includes:

  • Goals you create
  • Habits you track
  • Routines you build
  • Your streak data
  • Any notes or details you add

This data never leaves your device unless you opt out of data sharing (see "Your Rights" below), in which case it's deleted from your device but anonymous usage data already collected is retained.

Anonymous Usage Data (Beta Program Only)

During the beta testing period, we collect anonymous usage data to improve the app. This data is:

  • Generated daily (at midnight or when you next open the app)
  • Sent automatically via webhook to Google Forms when you open the app for the first time each day
  • Completely anonymous—no personal information is included
  • Stored in Google Forms and exported to Google Sheets for analysis

The daily summary includes: anonymous device ID (hashed), date, number of goals created, habits completed, routines started and completed, current streak length, character state, and whether the app was opened that day.

What we don't collect: your name, email, phone number, any personal identifiers, the actual content of your goals or habits, your location, or photos and contacts.

How We Use Your Data

The anonymous usage data is used solely to understand how beta testers are using the app, identify bugs and friction points, improve app features, and track overall beta program engagement. We do not sell, rent, or share this data with any third parties.

Third-Party Services

Google Forms and Google Sheets

Anonymous usage data is sent via webhook to Google Forms and stored in Google Sheets for analysis. This data is subject to Google's privacy policies. Currently, only the developer has access to this data.

Discord (Beta Feedback)

If you choose to join our Discord community for beta feedback, you'll be subject to Discord's privacy policy. Any information you share in Discord is voluntary.

Website Analytics

Our website uses Google Analytics 4 and Google Search Console to understand website traffic. This data is not linked to the app or your app usage.

iOS

TetherBit is built for iOS. Standard iOS system functions may be used, but no data is sent to Apple beyond what's required for the App Store.

Future Payment Processing

The beta version of TetherBit is free. In the future, we may introduce in-app purchases or subscriptions via services like Superwall. We will not directly handle or store your payment details.

Data Security

Your goal and habit data stays on your device, protected by iOS security features. The anonymous usage data is transmitted via secure webhook to Google Forms and stored in Google Sheets, accessible only to authorized TetherBit personnel. No method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure.

Your Rights

  • Opt out of data sharing: You can opt out in the app's settings at any time. Opting out will delete all local data from your device and reset the app. Anonymous usage data already collected cannot be deleted, as there is no way to match the anonymous device ID to your identity.
  • Delete local data: Delete the TetherBit app from your device to permanently remove all local data.
  • Request information: Contact us at tetherbit@surge-funnels.com with questions about data we've collected.

Beta Program Consent

When you apply for beta testing, we collect your email address and application form information solely to review your application and communicate with you about it. Submitting an application does not guarantee acceptance.

By participating in the beta program, you explicitly agree to allow TetherBit to collect anonymous usage data as described above, including automatic daily transmission via webhook to Google Forms.

Children's Privacy

TetherBit beta is restricted to users 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy as the app evolves. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date.
