Privacy Policy

Last updated: 14 June 2026

Template notice. This document is a draft template for the Snusfri team to review (ideally with a lawyer) before launch. Items shown like placeholder are placeholders that must be replaced with real values.

Norwegian translation recommended. Snusfri is launched first in Norway and Sweden. We recommend publishing an official Norwegian translation of this Privacy Policy (and ideally Swedish) for users in those markets. This English version is the working reference text.

1. Introduction

Snusfri ("Snusfri", "we", "us", or "our") is a recovery support app that helps people quit snus and nicotine pouches, as well as cigarettes and alcohol, through motivation and progress tracking. Snusfri is a support and tracking tool only — it is not medical treatment, medical advice, or a healthcare service.

This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect when you use the Snusfri iOS app, why we collect it, how we store and protect it, and the rights you have over it. Snusfri is provided by an individual developer; in this policy we refer to the provider as "the Snusfri team".

By using Snusfri, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the app.

2. What data we collect and why

We collect only the data needed to run your account, track your progress, and operate the community. We do not require your real name. The data we collect is:

Account information

Email address and password — used to create and secure your account and to sign you in. Passwords are handled by our authentication provider and are not stored by us in readable form.
Username (handle) — a pseudonymous, user-chosen display name. This is not your real name and is shown to other users on your community content.

Onboarding answers

Which substance you want to quit (snus / nicotine pouches, cigarettes, or alcohol), your typical daily usage amount, your approximate weekly spend, how long you have used the substance, and your reasons for quitting.
We use these answers to personalize your experience, calculate your stats and savings, and tailor motivational content.

Progress data

Streaks and statistics based on your quit progress.
Craving logs, including an optional self-reported trigger you may add.
Savings goals, including a goal name, target amount, and an optional photo you choose to upload.
We use this data to show you your progress, motivate you, and provide the core features of the app.

Community content

Content you choose to create — posts, comments, reactions, and optional images — is user-generated and visible to other signed-in Snusfri users. It is displayed together with your pseudonymous username and your current streak.
Please do not include real-name or sensitive personal information in community content, since it is visible to other users.

Push notification token

If, and only if, you turn on notifications, we store a device push token (via Expo) so we can send you reminders and motivational notifications. If you do not enable notifications, no push token is collected.

3. Legal basis for processing (GDPR)

If you are in the European Economic Area (EEA), including Norway and Sweden, we rely on the following legal bases under the EU/EEA General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):

Data / purpose	Legal basis
Account creation, sign-in, and providing the app's core features (account, onboarding answers, progress data, community content)	Performance of a contract (our Terms with you)
Optional uploaded photos and push notifications	Consent (you choose to upload or to enable notifications; you can withdraw at any time)
Keeping the service secure, preventing abuse, and content moderation (reports, blocking, auto-hiding)	Legitimate interests in operating a safe community

Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time (for example, by turning off notifications or deleting an uploaded photo). Withdrawing consent does not affect processing carried out before withdrawal.

4. Where your data is stored and the processors we use

Your data is stored in Supabase, hosted in the European Union (Stockholm region, eu-north-1). We use a small number of service providers ("processors") that handle data only on our behalf and under our instructions:

Processor	Purpose	Location
Supabase	Database (PostgreSQL), authentication, and file storage	EU (Stockholm)
Expo	Delivery of push notifications (only if you enable notifications)	Service provider
Apple	App distribution via the App Store; in-app subscription billing if/when paid plans go live	Service provider

Note: Real payment processing is not active yet. Paid subscriptions (via RevenueCat, billed through Apple) are planned for a future update. This policy will be updated before any paid plans launch.

5. Data retention

We keep your personal data for as long as your account is active and you continue to use Snusfri. When you delete your account, your account and all associated personal data are permanently deleted (see Section 8). We may retain limited information for a short period where required to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce our Terms, after which it is deleted.

6. We do not sell your data or use third-party tracking

We do not sell your personal data.
We do not share your data with advertisers, and we do not show third-party ads.
We do not use any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking SDKs.
We do not collect your precise location.

7. Data security

We protect your data using Row Level Security (RLS) in our database. This means each user can access only their own private data (such as account details, onboarding answers, and progress). Community content is shared only among signed-in Snusfri users. Access is controlled by authentication, and data is transmitted over encrypted connections. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, but we take reasonable measures to safeguard your information.

8. Your rights and how to access or delete your data

If you are in the EEA, you have the following rights under the GDPR:

Access — request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
Correction — ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
Deletion — ask us to delete your personal data.
Restriction and objection — ask us to limit or stop certain processing.
Withdraw consent — where processing is based on consent (for example, notifications or uploaded photos).
Lodge a complaint — with your local data protection authority (for example, Datatilsynet in Norway or Integritetsskyddsmyndigheten (IMY) in Sweden).

Deleting your account in-app: You can permanently delete your account at any time directly in the app. Go to Profile → Delete account. This permanently deletes your account and all associated data, including onboarding answers, progress data, savings goals, uploaded photos, and your community content (cascade deletion). This action cannot be undone.

You can also edit much of your information directly in the app. For any other request relating to your rights, contact us at the address in Section 12.

9. Children

Snusfri is intended for adults (17+) because it references nicotine and alcohol. It is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can remove it.

10. International users

Snusfri is operated from and hosted in the EU, with a primary focus on users in Norway and Sweden. If you access the app from outside the EU/EEA, please be aware that your data is stored and processed on servers located in the European Union. By using Snusfri, you understand that your information will be handled as described in this policy.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, for example when we add features such as paid subscriptions. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top and, where appropriate, notify you in the app. Please review this policy periodically.
