The short version: Your tasks, lists, notes, and settings live exclusively on your device. We never see them, store them, or access them. The only personal data we ever handle is your email address if you joined our waitlist — and you can have it deleted anytime.
Ebbi is a focus planner built for people with ADHD, developed and published by The Forge Hut, LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Kansas, United States.
For the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable privacy laws, The Forge Hut, LLC acts as the data controller for any personal data we process.
You can reach us at any time at [email protected].
We want to be unambiguous about this: all content you create inside Ebbi — every task, list, project, note, focus session, and any setting or preference — is stored exclusively on your device. It is never transmitted to our servers. We have no technical ability to access it, view it, or recover it. It belongs entirely to you.
We also do not collect:
Ebbi uses Apple's built-in diagnostic frameworks (MetricKit) to receive anonymized crash reports and performance metrics. This data contains no personally identifiable information — no names, email addresses, or task content. It is used solely to improve app stability and is never shared with third parties.
If you submitted your email address to join the Ebbi waitlist, we collected and store that email address. This is entirely voluntary and consent-based. You can withdraw consent and request deletion at any time (see Section 9).
When you purchase an Ebbi subscription or lifetime license through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, the payment transaction is handled entirely by Apple or Google. We receive only a transaction receipt and basic subscription status (e.g., active, expired, cancelled) sufficient to unlock app features. We do not receive or store your payment card details, billing address, or full purchase history. Apple and Google's own privacy policies govern how they handle your payment data.
We use the data we collect for the following purposes only:
We do not use your data for profiling, automated decision-making, targeted advertising, or any purpose not listed above.
If you are in the European Economic Area (EEA) or United Kingdom, we process your personal data under the following legal bases:
Waitlist email communications are managed using email infrastructure that we operate and control directly. Your email address is not shared with any third-party email marketing service.
App distribution and subscription billing for iOS and macOS users is handled by Apple, Inc. Apple's data practices are governed by the Apple Privacy Policy.
App distribution and subscription billing for Android users is handled by Google, LLC. Google's data practices are governed by the Google Privacy Policy.
We do not use third-party analytics platforms, advertising networks, or external crash-reporting services. Crash and performance diagnostics are collected using Apple's built-in frameworks and are never shared with third parties. No third party receives your personal data through your use of Ebbi beyond those described above.
We retain your email address for as long as you remain subscribed to our mailing list or until you request deletion. Once you unsubscribe or submit a deletion request, we will remove your email address from our systems within 30 days.
Subscription status records may be retained for a reasonable period after cancellation as required for accounting, tax compliance, or legal obligations.
All data you create within Ebbi (tasks, lists, settings) exists solely on your device and is not retained by us in any form.
If you are located in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, you have the following rights under the GDPR (or UK GDPR, as applicable). To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days.
If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), grants you the following rights:
You have the right to request disclosure of the categories of personal information we have collected about you, the categories of sources from which it was collected, our business purpose for collecting it, and the categories of third parties with whom we share it. You also have the right to request the specific pieces of personal information we hold about you.
You have the right to request that we delete personal information we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions. We will fulfill verified deletion requests within 45 days.
We do not sell, share, or disclose your personal information to third parties for commercial purposes. We have not sold personal information in the preceding 12 months, and we have no intention of doing so. Accordingly, there is nothing to opt out of — but if this changes, we will update this policy and provide a "Do Not Sell My Personal Information" mechanism.
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Exercising your rights will not result in denial of services, different pricing, or any other adverse treatment.
To exercise your California privacy rights, contact us at [email protected] with "CCPA Request" in the subject line. We will respond to verified requests within 45 days. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling the request.
Deleting the Ebbi app from your device permanently deletes all your tasks, lists, settings, and any other content you created in the app. Because this data never leaves your device, there is nothing on our end to delete. This action is immediate and irreversible.
To have your email address removed from our waitlist, you can:
We will process your request and permanently delete your email address within 30 days. We will confirm deletion by email before removing your address.
Ebbi is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are under 13, please do not use Ebbi or provide us with any personal information.
If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 13, we will take immediate steps to delete that information. If you believe we may have received information from a child under 13, please contact us at [email protected].
Users between the ages of 13 and the age of majority in their jurisdiction may use Ebbi only with parental or guardian consent. See our Terms of Service for eligibility details.
The Forge Hut, LLC is based in the United States. If you are located outside the United States, please be aware that your email address (if you joined our waitlist) may be stored on servers located in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in your country.
If you are in the EEA or UK and we transfer your data outside those regions, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place in compliance with GDPR requirements, including Standard Contractual Clauses where applicable.
By submitting your email address, you acknowledge that your data may be transferred to and processed in the United States.
We take the security of your data seriously. Our email infrastructure is maintained with industry-standard security practices, including:
Because all app data (tasks, lists, settings) is stored only on your device, your focus data is protected by the security features of your operating system (iOS, Android, macOS). We encourage you to use a strong device passcode or biometric lock.
No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. While we work to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security. If you believe your data has been compromised, please contact us immediately at [email protected].
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as our practices evolve or as required by law. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
For material changes — changes that significantly affect your rights or how we handle your data — we will notify waitlist subscribers by email before the changes take effect. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
Your continued use of Ebbi after a policy update constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
