Privacy policy for The Good Habits iOS app

August 24, 2026 / Viorel Petrea / Leave a comment

Last updated: August 24, 2026

The Good Habits (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is built and operated by Viorel Petrea. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, and how we protect it when you use The Good Habits iOS app.

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

1. Information We Collect

Account Information

We use Sign in with Apple for authentication. When you sign in, Apple shares:

A unique, stable Apple User ID (used only to identify your account)
Your name — only on the first sign-in; we store it so your profile has a default display name
An email address or Apple’s private relay address (only if you choose to share it)

Your Apple credentials are stored securely in your device’s Keychain. We never store your Apple ID password.

Habit & Check-In Data

When you create and track habits, we store:

Habit name, emoji, summary, start and end dates
Allowed and not-allowed rules you define
Daily check-in records (date, optional text note, optional photo)
Missed-day records and notes
Streak and consistency statistics derived from your check-ins

Profile Information

Display name and initials you set during onboarding
Profile color you choose
Optional tagline
Optional profile photo

Social & Friends Data

Your unique friend code (e.g. “ALEX42”) — visible only to people you share it with
Friend connections you establish by exchanging codes
Friend requests (sent and received)
Habit membership — which of your habits you share with which friends

Wall Posts

When you post to a shared habit’s wall:

Your display name, initials, and color are shown alongside the post
Post text and optional photo are stored
Reactions (fire, muscle, heart, party) and counts are stored

Subscription Status

We record whether you have an active Premium subscription. This is verified in real time through Apple’s StoreKit framework. We never see or store your payment card details — all billing is handled entirely by Apple.

Device & Technical Data

To protect our backend from unauthorized access we use Firebase App Check, which generates a device attestation token. This token confirms that requests come from a legitimate copy of the app. It contains no personal information and is not used for advertising or tracking.

2. Information We Do NOT Collect

Location data — we never request or access your device location
Contacts — we use a manual friend-code system; we never scan your address book
Advertising identifiers (IDFA) — we run no ads and do no ad tracking
Analytics — we do not use Firebase Analytics or any other behavioral analytics SDK
Microphone or audio data

3. How We Use Your Information

Provide the service — sync your habits, check-ins, and social features across devices
Display your profile — show your name and avatar to friends inside shared habits
Enable social features — connect you with friends, show the wall, and deliver reactions
Verify your subscription — unlock Premium features if you subscribe
Secure the backend — block unauthorized API access via App Check

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for advertising or marketing purposes.

4. Third-Party Services

Apple (Sign in with Apple & StoreKit)

Authentication and all payment processing are handled by Apple. Apple’s Privacy Policy applies: apple.com/legal/privacy

Google Firebase (Firestore & App Check)

Your habit, social, and wall data is stored in Cloud Firestore, a Google Firebase service. Firebase App Check is used to verify device integrity. Google’s Privacy Policy applies: policies.google.com/privacy

Firebase data is stored in Google’s US data centers. If you are located in the EU/EEA, this constitutes a transfer of data to the United States under Google’s Standard Contractual Clauses.

Apple CloudKit

Profile photos and check-in photos are stored in Apple CloudKit, which is tied to your Apple ID and subject to Apple’s iCloud Terms and Privacy Policy.

5. Photos & Camera Access

The app requests access to your photo library or camera only when you explicitly tap to attach a photo to a check-in or set a profile photo. Photos are stored in CloudKit (profile) or Firebase Firestore / CloudKit (check-in photos) and are visible only to members of the habit you posted them in.

You can revoke photo access at any time in iOS Settings → The Good Habits → Photos.

6. Data Retention

We retain your data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, your habits, check-ins, posts, and profile are permanently deleted from our servers within 30 days. Keychain credentials are removed immediately on device.

Subscription records are maintained by Apple and governed by their policies.

7. Children’s Privacy

The Good Habits is not directed at children under 13 (or under 16 in the EU). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

8. Your Rights

Depending on where you live you may have the right to:

Access the personal data we hold about you
Correct inaccurate data
Request deletion of your data (“right to be forgotten”)
Object to or restrict processing
Data portability

To exercise any of these rights, or to request account deletion, contact us at the address below. We will respond within 30 days.

9. Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data, including:

All data in transit is encrypted via HTTPS/TLS
Firestore security rules restrict access so users can only read data they are authorized to see
Firebase App Check blocks non-app clients from accessing our backend
Sensitive credentials are stored in the iOS Keychain, not in plain storage

No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top. For significant changes we will notify you inside the app. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

⸻

1. Information We Collect

Data Stored Locally on Your Device

Astrobit saves the following data directly on your device using Apple’s standard UserDefaults system. This data never leaves your device and is not accessible to us:

• Best score and best bit count from your runs

• Total bits collected across all sessions

• Number of times your player has died (used to decide when to show an ad)

• Your game settings and preferences

Data Collected Automatically via Third-Party SDKs

The App uses the following third-party services that may collect data independently:

Google AdMob (Advertising)

Astrobit displays banner and interstitial advertisements provided by Google AdMob. AdMob may collect:

• Advertising identifiers (IDFA/GAID)

• IP address

• Device information (model, OS version)

• General location (country/region derived from IP)

• Ad interaction data (impressions, clicks)

This data is used to serve relevant advertisements. You may limit ad tracking through your device’s privacy settings (Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking).

Firebase Analytics

The App uses Firebase Analytics to understand how players interact with the game. The following in-game event is logged:

• player_death — recorded each time your character dies, along with a running death count

Firebase Analytics collects standard analytics data including device identifiers, app version, and session information.

⸻

2. Advertising and Tracking

Astrobit contains advertising and uses tracking technologies operated by Google. Depending on your region, you may be shown a consent prompt (via Google’s User Messaging Platform) before any personalized advertising or tracking begins. You can withdraw or change your consent at any time through the in-app settings.

If you opt out of personalized ads, you will still see ads, but they will not be tailored to your interests.

Astrobit – Run. Jump. Outrun the Void.

July 8, 2026July 20, 2026 / Viorel Petrea / Leave a comment

Astrobit — Update Live

Astrobit Just Got Bigger. The Void Didn’t.

ORBIT is back — and this time, space has more ways to end you. The latest update to Astrobit is the biggest yet, adding three new game modes, a full Story Mode, and a universe that changes the longer you survive. The endless runner you knew is still here. It just has a lot more teeth now.

Four Ways to Run

Endless is still the classic — no clock, no lives, just you and the Void. But now you can choose your fight:

Endless

No clock, no lives. The original fight, unchanged — just you and the Void, for as long as you can last.

Survival

Three lives. Each time the Void catches you, it gets permanently faster. Lose all three and the run is over. Every close call has weight.

Time Attack

90 seconds, and the clock is merciless. Combo chains add time back. Getting caught costs you some. Play greedy or play safe — neither is comfortable.

Story Mode

An eight-chapter journey from the NEBULA to the heart of the VOID REALM. Each chapter has an objective — survive 60 seconds, chain three combos, reach a new zone — and earns up to three stars. It’s structured. It’s brutal. It’s the best way to actually learn what this game can do.

The Void Has Moods Now

The Void lurks. The Void hungers. The Void is furious.

The Void now shifts between three behavioral states. When it’s lurking, it’s patient — almost lulling. When it’s furious, it surges faster than you expect. Watch the color of the glow. It tells you everything.

Lurking — patient, slow, almost lulling.
Hungering — picking up pace, the gap starts to close.
Furious — surges faster than you expect. This is where runs end.

The Universe Changes Around You

Score climbs, the world shifts. Each zone looks different, plays different, and demands more.

Zone	Unlocks at	What changes
Nebula	Start	Deep space, purple dark, familiar enough.
Asteroid Belt	1,000 pts	Platforms crumble faster.
Solar Core	2,500 pts	Hazards multiply, the sky burns gold.
Void Realm	5,000 pts	No nebula, no color — just you and something that wants you gone.

Still One Tap. Still Ruthless.

Everything that made the original addictive is still here — the new modes and zones layer on top of a core that already worked:

Short hop on a quick release
Combos that push the Void back
Crumbling platforms
Escalating speed

You can jump in for a 90-second Time Attack run or spend an hour chasing three-star story clears. Either way, the Void is waiting.

Flying Zuzzi Rebuild v2

June 19, 2026June 23, 2026 / Viorel Petrea / Leave a comment

Hello everyone,

Back in 2015, I released my very first mobile game: Flying Zuzzi.

It was a small project, built with passion, curiosity, and a desire to learn game development. Like many first projects, it wasn’t perfect, but it represented something important: the joy of creating something from nothing.

More than a decade later, I’m excited to announce Flying Zuzzi Rebuild v2.

This is not just a remake. It’s a complete rebuild of the original game using modern tools, new ideas, and the help of AI-assisted development. Most importantly, it’s a return to something I genuinely enjoy: building apps and games.

This time, I’m committed to telling the complete story and releasing all planned episodes of Flying Zuzzi.

The Story

In a small kingdom filled with fluffy and colorful animals, King Zantinii ruled peacefully with his twin children, Princess Zuzzi and Prince Zantos.

Because Zuzzi was born first, she was the rightful heir to the throne. However, her brother never accepted this. Jealous and ambitious, Zantos spent years plotting against his sister.

When King Zantinii passed away, Zantos seized control of the kingdom. He abandoned Zuzzi in the High Gardens of the Rocky Mountains and claimed the throne for himself.

Alone and far from home, Zuzzi begins a journey that will test her courage, lead her to new friends, and ultimately determine the fate of the kingdom.

Episode I: The Beginning of an Adventure

The adventure starts with Zuzzi’s escape.

Players must guide Zuzzi through forests, avoid obstacles, and fly as far as possible while making their way toward freedom.

Simple to play, but challenging to master, Episode I lays the foundation for the adventures ahead.

Episode II: Friends Join the Adventure

No hero succeeds alone.

In Episode II, Zuzzi is joined by her loyal friend Coco. Together they will face new challenges, discover new locations, and continue their quest back to the kingdom.

Episode III: Battle for the Throne

The journey leads to its inevitable conclusion.

Zuzzi must confront Zantos and fight for her rightful place as ruler of the kingdom.

The details remain secret for now, but this chapter will bring the story full circle.

Why Rebuild Flying Zuzzi?

The original Flying Zuzzi was my first step into game development.

Flying Zuzzi Rebuild v2 is about revisiting that idea with years of experience, better technology, and a renewed passion for creating software. AI has helped accelerate development, but the heart of the project remains the same: building fun games and bringing a childhood-inspired story to life.

Support

If you encounter any issues, have suggestions, or simply want to share feedback, please use the support information provided on this page.

Your feedback helps make Flying Zuzzi better and supports the development of future episodes.

What’s Next?

This rebuild is only the beginning.

Development updates, screenshots, behind-the-scenes posts, and future episode announcements will be shared here as the project evolves.

Thank you for being part of the journey.

See you in the skies,

Sitecore-page-001

PowerShell ISE in Sitecore to populate data in your meta tags

January 11, 2017 / Viorel Petrea / Leave a comment

Hello guys,

Today I wrote my first PowerShell script and it felt amazing. The power of this module in Sitecore is pure genius. It lets you handle large bulk updates in the matter of seconds.

One of our requirements was to complete the Meta Tags of the entire website.

If you can imagine to go page by page it could take a day or more for one person and the risk of doing something wrong increases with the page number.

Luckily we have PowerShell ISE and it works like a charm.

<$homeItem = Get-Item -Path 'master:\content\home' $allPagesThatHaveMetaTags = $homeItem | Get-ChildItem -recurse | Where-Object {$_.MetaDescription -ne $null }

In the allPagesThatHaveMetaTags we have all items that contain the field the MetaDescription.

Now it a foreach we can go item by item and update the MetaDescription field:

$allPagesThatHaveMetaTags | ForEach-Object {
$pageDescription = 'default meta tag description in case of no article body' $metaDescriptionItem = 'default text' if($_["Text"] -ne $null -and $_["Text"] -ne '') { $pageDescription = $_["Text"]; $metaDescriptionItem = 'Text field on the same item'; }
$_.Editing.BeginEdit() $_["MetaDescription"] = $pageDescription $_.Editing.EndEdit()
Write-Host 'Item with name ' + $_.Name + 'and ID' + $_.ID + 'has been updated with metadescription from ' + $metaDescriptionItem
}

Whith the &metaDescriptionItem I am creating a log list so I can know which items have default description and which have from the TEXT field.

Regards,

Future publish in Sitecore Part 2

November 28, 2016November 28, 2016 / Viorel Petrea / Leave a comment

Hello,

This is Part 2 of the sitecore auto publish feature. Check out Part 1 here.

In this part I will show you how to create multiple versions of the same item, add publishing restrictions and then add the ids in the scheduler for Auto Publish.

Select your item navigate to Publish -> Change under restriction

Once you are here just add date times for each version. Like the image below.
