Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 1, 2026
1. Overview
8 and Change (“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information about you when you use our mobile application and related services. We are committed to transparency and your right to control your personal data.
2. Information We Collect
We collect information you provide directly (name, email, account credentials), information generated by your use of the Service (streak data, XP, reading progress, circle memberships), and technical information (device type, OS version, crash logs). We do not collect sensitive personal information beyond what is necessary to operate the Service.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use your information to: provide and improve the Service; personalize your experience; send relevant notifications and updates; process subscriptions; respond to support requests; and conduct internal analytics to understand how the Service is used. We do not sell your personal information.
5. 8 and Change Community Features
When you join or create a 8 and Change, certain information (your display name, streak, and progress) is visible to members of that circle. You control who can see your activity by managing your circle memberships in the app settings.
6. Data Retention
We retain your account data for as long as your account remains active. If you delete your account, we will delete your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law.
7. Security
We implement industry-standard security measures including encryption in transit (TLS) and at rest. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security, but we are committed to protecting your data.
8. Children’s Privacy
The Service is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn we have collected such information, we will delete it promptly.
9. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or export your personal data. To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@8andchange.app. We will respond within 30 days.
10. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. We will notify you of significant changes through the app or via email. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy.
