1. Introduction
Invested is an effort and accountability tracking app designed to help you measure the focused hours you put toward your most important long-term goals. We are committed to protecting your personal data and being transparent about how we handle it.
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have regarding your data when you use the Invested application and related services.
2. Information We Collect
We collect the following types of information to provide and improve our services:
- Account information — your email address and display name when you create an account.
- Usage data — goals you set, effort logs, session activity, and progress data within the app.
- Device & analytics data — basic device information, app version, and anonymised usage analytics to help us understand how the app is used.
3. How We Use Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide, maintain, and improve the Invested app experience.
- Track your progress and support your accountability journey.
- Communicate with you about updates, new features, or support inquiries.
4. Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal data. Your information is never sold to third parties.
We may share limited data with trusted service providers who help us operate the app — for example, cloud hosting and analytics services. These providers are bound by their own privacy policies and are only given access to the data they need to perform their services.
5. Data Storage & Security
Your data is stored using secure cloud services, including Firebase, which provides industry-standard encryption and security measures.
We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100 % secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
6. Your Rights & Data Control
You have the right to:
- Access and update your personal information at any time within the app.
- Request deletion of your account and all associated data.
To request data removal, please contact us at info@invested.cator.co.za.
7. Children's Privacy
Invested is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected such data, we will take steps to delete it promptly.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you through the app or via email.
