Privacy Policy

Effective date: July 9, 2026

Acta (“the app”, “we”, “us”) is operated by West-East Forte. Acta is a private, group-based habit tracker: you form invite-only “squads”, set stakes on your habits, and hold each other accountable. This policy explains what we collect, who processes it, and how you can remove it. It applies to the Acta mobile app and this website.

1. Data we collect

Account: your email address and a hashed credential, used to sign you in. We do not collect your real name or a profile photo.
Content you create: squads, stakes (challenges), check-in text logs, proof photos you attach, chat messages, votes, and the optional note you send when requesting to join a squad.
Safety and moderation: the list of users you block, and any report you submit about another user's content (what you reported and why).
Purchase status: if you subscribe to Premium, our subscription partner RevenueCat processes the store receipt and we store a yes/no premium flag. We never see your card or bank details - payment is handled entirely by the Apple App Store or Google Play.

We do not collect precise geolocation, your contacts, your browsing history in other apps, videos, or advertising identifiers.

2. How your content is shared

Squads are private and invite-only. Your stakes, check-ins, chat messages, and votes are visible only to the members of the squad you posted them in. They are never listed publicly, never aggregated into a public feed, and never sold or shared with third parties for their own purposes.

One exception you should know about: proof photos. They are stored as files whose web address contains a long random identifier that cannot be guessed. The app shows them only to your squad, but anyone who obtains that exact address - for example, if you forward it - can open the image without signing in. Treat proof photos as unlisted rather than strictly secret.

3. How your content is verified

Completion is confirmed by your squad-mates, by peer vote. A simple majority of the other members counts. We do not run automated or AI analysis over your proof photos, check-ins, or chat messages, and your content is never used to train any model.

4. Processors

Your data is stored on Supabase (Postgres database, Authentication, and file Storage) in the Northeast Asia (Seoul, ap-northeast-2) region. Subscriptions are managed by RevenueCat, and payments are processed by the Apple App Store or Google Play. These providers process data on our behalf. This website is served as static files by Vercel, which stores no user data.

5. No ads, no tracking

Acta runs on an optional subscription, not on advertising. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with advertisers, we embed no third-party ad or analytics SDKs in the app, and we do not build advertising profiles. This website sets no cookies and runs no analytics.

6. Retention and deletion

We keep your data for as long as your account exists. You can delete your account and all associated data at any time from Account → Delete account inside the app, or by following the steps on our account deletion page. Deletion removes your account, the squads you own (including their stakes and chats), your check-ins, votes, and proof photos. Your messages in other people's squads are kept but anonymized, so the conversation still makes sense to the remaining members. Deletion is immediate and permanent.

7. Children

Acta is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from them. If you believe a child has given us data, contact us and we will delete it.

8. Your rights

You may access, correct, export, or delete your data. The fastest route is in-app account deletion; for anything else, email us and we will respond within 30 days.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy. Material changes will be reflected in the effective date above and, where required, notified in the app.
