User Privacy Policy
This is the short version, written for you, not lawyers. It covers what stays on your phone, what you can opt into, and how to delete everything.
Last updated Sep 7, 2026
In short
Despo is built so your habits stay yours. You do not create a Despo login. We do not keep a copy of your streaks, notes, or checkmarks. There is no Despo cloud for habit data.
On your device
Habits, checkmarks, streaks, themes, and reminders live on the phone. Uninstalling the app removes them from that device.
No Despo account
There is no email/password account with us. Optional backup uses your Google account (Android) or Apple ID (iCloud).
Your cloud, if you want it
Android can back up CSV files to your Google Drive. iPhone can sync habits with iCloud. We do not host those files.
You can leave cleanly
Export a CSV anytime. Delete Drive or iCloud copies from those apps, or email us and we will help.
What we never see
We do not receive or store:
- Your habit names, notes, or checkmark history
- A Despo username or password (there isn’t one)
- Raw Apple Health samples, workouts, or heart-rate series (we only keep derived daily totals on-device if you link Health)
- The contents of your Google Drive or iCloud
- Any Health or habit history on a Despo server (there isn’t one)
The one thing we do receive is a feature request, if you choose to send one — see below.
What you can turn on
None of these are required to track habits.
- Google Drive (Android): backup and restore CSV files in a Despo folder in your Drive. How backups work
- iCloud (iPhone): keep habits in step across devices on the same Apple ID.
- Apple Health: optional on iOS. HealthKit is read on-device; derived daily totals and checkmarks are cached in the local habit database. How Apple Health works
- Privacy Vault: an on-device lock. We cannot recover a forgotten PIN.
Purchases & analytics
Despo shows no ads and does not use your device’s advertising identifier. Nothing here follows you into other companies’ apps or websites.
If you buy Despo Pro, Apple or Google handle payment. RevenueCat only sees purchase/restore info, not your habits.
Anonymous usage counts (for example “a habit was created”) may go to analytics. Crash reports can be turned off in Settings. Neither includes your habit names. These are tied to a random id for your installation of the app — not to your name, email, or any account.
Feedback you send
One thing does reach us: the optional feature request form in the app. Whatever you type there lands in a database we run, together with your app version, whether you are on Despo Pro, and the random id above so we can reply and judge how much a request matters.
Your habits are not part of it. Want a submission deleted? Email support@chaudhariapps.com with roughly what you wrote and when.
Your controls
- Export or import a CSV in Settings → Data whenever you want a personal copy.
- Disconnect Drive or iCloud in Settings, then delete leftover files in Google Drive or iCloud. Step-by-step: Account deletion.
- Uninstall the app to clear local data on that device.
- Email support@chaudhariapps.com if you want help or want us to confirm we do not hold extra copies.

This page is a summary. The complete terms of how data is handled are in the Privacy Policy. If anything here disagrees with that document, the Privacy Policy wins.
