Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 31, 2026

Hibern ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use the Hibern mobile application (the "App"). Please read this policy carefully. By using Hibern, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

1. Information We Collect

Information You Provide

When you use Hibern, we may collect the following information that you voluntarily provide:

  • Account information (email address, display name) if you create an account
  • Alarm settings, preferences, and configurations
  • Mission completion data and wake-up session records
  • Feedback, support requests, or other communications you send us

Information Collected Automatically

When you use the App, we may automatically collect certain information:

  • Device information (device model, operating system version, unique device identifiers)
  • App usage data (features used, session duration, crash logs)
  • Performance data to help us improve the App experience

Camera & Photo Data

Hibern accesses your device's camera solely to complete wake-up missions (e.g., scanning QR codes, taking proof photos). Photos taken for mission verification are processed locally on your device and are not uploaded to our servers unless you explicitly choose to share them. We do not store, analyze, or transmit your photos to third parties.

Motion & Fitness Data

For movement-based missions (shake phone, squats, walk to door), Hibern accesses your device's motion sensors. This data is used exclusively to verify mission completion and is processed locally on your device. We do not collect, store, or share raw motion data.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide, maintain, and improve the Hibern App
  • Process and track your alarm schedules, missions, and streaks
  • Calculate and display your progress statistics
  • Send you alarm notifications at your scheduled times
  • Manage your account and subscription (Hibern Plus)
  • Respond to your support requests and feedback
  • Analyze app performance and fix bugs
  • Develop new features and improve existing ones

3. Data Storage & Security

Your alarm data, mission records, and progress statistics are primarily stored locally on your device. If you enable iCloud sync, certain data may be stored in your personal iCloud account, governed by Apple's privacy policies.

We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure.

4. Data Sharing & Third Parties

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share information only in the following circumstances:

  • Service Providers: We may engage trusted third-party services (e.g., analytics, crash reporting) that help us operate and improve the App. These providers are contractually obligated to protect your information.
  • Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, regulation, or legal process, or if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others.
  • Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of the transaction.

5. Subscription & Payment Data

Hibern Plus subscriptions are processed through Apple's App Store. We do not directly collect, process, or store your payment information (credit card numbers, billing addresses). All payment processing is handled by Apple in accordance with their privacy policies.

6. Children's Privacy

Hibern is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

7. Your Rights & Choices

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights:

  • Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
  • Correction: Request that we correct inaccurate or incomplete data
  • Deletion: Request that we delete your personal data
  • Portability: Request a copy of your data in a portable format
  • Withdraw Consent: Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at privacy@hibern.app.

Notification & Camera Permissions

You can revoke camera, motion, or notification permissions at any time through your iOS Settings. Please note that revoking certain permissions may affect the functionality of specific missions.

8. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with services. If you delete your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law.

9. International Data Transfers

If you use Hibern outside of France or the European Economic Area, your information may be transferred to and processed in countries where data protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place for such transfers.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the updated policy in the App and updating the "Last updated" date above. Your continued use of Hibern after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
