Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 22, 2026

Soberly (“Soberly”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled when you use the Soberly application.

1. Information We Collect

Soberly may process the following information depending on the features you use:

Information You Provide

If you use Sign in with Apple, we may receive information provided by Apple, such as your name and email address, depending on the options you select.

If you use Sign in with Google, we may receive information provided by Google, such as your name and email address.

Signing in is optional. Soberly works fully without an account; an account exists so your history can be restored on a new device and so a subscription bought on one platform is recognised on the other.

Sober Progress Data

Information you enter into Soberly, such as your sobriety start date, drinking-related goals, milestones, and progress information, may be stored locally on your device to provide the app’s features.

Subscription Information

If you purchase a subscription or other premium feature, payments are processed through Apple’s App Store on iOS and through Google Play on Android. We do not receive or store your payment card or banking information.

Subscription status may be processed through our subscription management service to provide access to premium features.

2. How We Use Information

Information processed by Soberly may be used to:

We do not sell your personal information.

3. Data Storage

Soberly is designed to keep your personal progress information private. Every screen in the app is answered from storage on your device; opening the app reads nothing from our servers.

If you are signed out, nothing you write leaves your device.

If you sign in, Soberly keeps a copy of your data in Google Firebase (Cloud Firestore) so it can be restored on a new device. What is copied is the same information the app stores locally: your profile and drinking habits, settings, streak and relapse history, your reasons for stopping, milestones, achievements, rewards, journal entries, craving records, breathing sessions, letters you have written to yourself, and your habit list and its daily log.

That copy is readable only by your own account. You can stop it at any time by signing out, and you can delete it from inside the app.

4. Sign in with Apple or Google

If you choose to use Sign in with Apple, authentication is provided by Apple.

Apple may provide Soberly with information associated with your Apple account according to the choices you make during sign-in. You may also choose to hide your personal email address by using Apple’s private relay email feature.

For more information about Apple’s privacy practices, please refer to Apple’s privacy policy.

If you choose to use Sign in with Google, authentication is provided by Google, and Google may provide Soberly with information associated with your Google account, such as your name and email address. For more information about Google’s privacy practices, please refer to Google’s privacy policy.

Authentication itself is handled by Google Firebase Authentication, which issues the account identifier Soberly uses to find your data.

5. Payments and Subscriptions

Purchases made through Soberly are processed by Apple through the App Store on iOS, and by Google through Google Play on Android.

Soberly does not collect or store your credit card, debit card, or other payment information.

Subscription information may be processed by our subscription management provider solely to verify purchases and provide access to premium features.

6. Third-Party Services

Soberly may use third-party services necessary to provide specific functionality, such as authentication and subscription management.

These services may process limited information according to their own privacy policies.

We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties.

7. Notifications and Widgets

If you enable notifications, Soberly may use information stored on your device to schedule and display reminders or progress notifications.

Notifications are scheduled on your device, not sent from a server. Soberly does not use push messaging and does not collect a device or messaging token for this purpose.

Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets are an iOS feature. Widget information is generated from data already available to the app and is displayed on your device according to your iOS settings. There are no widgets in the Android version.

8. Data Retention and Deletion

Information stored locally by Soberly can generally be removed by deleting the application or using available deletion options within the app.

Deleting your account and data. If you have signed in, open Settings → Delete my data inside Soberly. This removes the copy held in Cloud Firestore, deletes the authentication account itself, and clears the data stored on the device. The action cannot be undone.

If you can no longer open the app, you may contact us through the support page and request deletion of information associated with your account.

9. Children’s Privacy

Soberly is not intended for children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

10. Security

We take reasonable measures to protect information processed through Soberly. However, no method of electronic storage or transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated “Last updated” date.

12. Contact Us

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or how Soberly handles information, please contact us through the support information provided in the app.
