Last Updated: April 1, 2026

1. Who We Are

WinWithFred.com ("we," "us," or "our") is a personal development and self-help website operated by Freddy Owen. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website and use our services.

If you have questions about this policy, contact us at [email protected].

2. Information We Collect

Information you provide directly:

  • Account information: When you register, we collect your email address, display name, and password (stored securely through Google Firebase Authentication — we never see your raw password).
  • User-generated content: Goal entries, habit tracking data, journal entries, quiz results, and other content you create within the Site's tools.
  • Google Sign-In: If you sign in with Google, we receive your name, email address, and profile picture from Google.

Information collected automatically:

  • Usage data: Google Firebase may collect technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, and time spent on pages for analytics and security purposes.
  • Cookies: Firebase uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to maintain your authentication session.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide, operate, and maintain the Site and its tools
  • Create and manage your user account
  • Save and retrieve your personal data (goals, habits, journal entries) across devices
  • Respond to your comments, questions, and requests
  • Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and security incidents
  • Comply with legal obligations

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We do not use your data for targeted advertising.

4. How We Store and Protect Your Information

Your data is stored on Google Firebase (Firestore database and Firebase Authentication), which is a Google Cloud service. Firebase employs industry-standard security measures including encryption in transit (TLS/HTTPS) and encryption at rest.

Access to your personal data is restricted by Firebase Security Rules, which means only you (as an authenticated user) can access your own data. We implement authentication to prevent unauthorized access.

Despite these measures, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

5. Third-Party Service Providers

We use the following third-party services that may process your data:

6. Data Retention

We retain your account and user-generated content for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will delete your personal data from our systems within a reasonable time, subject to any legal obligations to retain certain records.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

  • Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
  • Correction: Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
  • Deletion: Request deletion of your personal data ("right to be forgotten").
  • Portability: Request your data in a portable format.
  • Objection: Object to certain types of processing.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days.

8. Children's Privacy

This Site is not directed at children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a child under 13, please contact us immediately and we will take steps to delete that information.

9. California Privacy Rights (CCPA)

If you are a California resident, you have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to know what personal information we collect, the right to delete your personal information, and the right to opt-out of the sale of personal information. We do not sell personal information. To exercise your CCPA rights, contact us at [email protected].

10. International Visitors

This Site is operated in the United States. If you are accessing the Site from outside the United States, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States where our servers are located. By using the Site, you consent to this transfer.

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), our legal basis for processing your personal data is your consent (for optional features) and our legitimate interest in providing and improving the Site.

11. 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 of this page. Your continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
