Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 23, 2026

Summary

Lazy Panda is a mindful habit tracker with journaling, insights, optional mood and energy logging, The Path progression system, and weekly summaries. Your data is stored on your device by default. No account is required to use the app, and we do not operate a cloud database of your habits, journal entries, or personal information.

You may optionally enable cloud sync (via iCloud or Google Drive) to keep your data in sync across your own devices. When enabled, your data is sent directly to your personal cloud storage — not to our servers. Cloud sync is off by default.

This policy describes what information the app processes, when it leaves your device, and your choices. Questions: support@weblabsconsulting.org.

Who this applies to

This policy covers the Lazy Panda mobile application (iOS and Android) published by WebLabs Consulting Inc., and our marketing website. The same privacy principles apply across both platforms.

Local-first: information stored on your device

Lazy Panda is designed to be local-first and privacy-first. All information you enter or generate is stored on your phone or tablet using durable on-device storage (SQLite-backed key–value storage). We cannot browse, access, or search your device data. Examples include:

  • Profile and preferences: display name, appearance (light/dark/system), notification choices, and similar settings.
  • Habits: names, icons, schedules, completion dates, XP, mastery levels, streaks, and related progress.
  • The Path: mastery rank, XP ledger, weekly reset records, power habit history, Panda Paws balance and usage, active stacks and ritual session logs, active quests and quest progress.
  • Journal entries and notes tied to habits or days.
  • Optional mood and energy logs and before/after completion inputs you save.
  • Insights views derived from the above — computed locally from your stored data.
  • Weekly reports: generated snapshots stored after they are created.
  • Backups you export: a JSON backup file is created only when you use the export feature; you choose where to keep it.

No account required

Lazy Panda requires no registration, no email address, and no user account. You can use every feature of the app without providing any personal identifying information to us. Your on-device identity (display name, avatar) stays on your device.

Offline operation

The app functions fully without an internet connection. Habit tracking, The Path, journaling, insights, and all core features work offline. Network access is only used in the following situations: restoring a prior in-app purchase (to verify entitlement with Apple or Google), and uploading or downloading your data when you have cloud sync enabled.

Optional cloud sync

Lazy Panda offers an optional cloud sync feature that lets you keep your data in sync across your own devices. Cloud sync is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled in Settings → Data & Sync.

When you enable cloud sync, your app data is packaged as an encrypted snapshot and sent directly to your personal cloud storage — either iCloud (iOS) or Google Drive — depending on which provider you choose. We do not receive, store, or have any access to this data.

  • iCloud sync: your data is stored in your personal iCloud account under an app-specific container. Apple processes and stores it according to their privacy policy. Only your Apple ID has access.
  • Google Drive sync: your data is stored in the hidden app data folder of your personal Google Drive account (using the drive.appdata scope). This folder is not visible in your Drive and is only accessible to Lazy Panda. Google processes and stores it according to their privacy policy.
  • Connecting Google Drive requires signing in with your Google account. We receive your Google account email address solely to display which account is connected. We do not retain it on our servers.
  • You can disconnect cloud sync or delete your cloud backup at any time from Settings → Data & Sync. Disconnecting stops all future sync; your data on your device is not affected.
  • If you do not enable cloud sync, no data ever leaves your device through this feature.

Data export and backup

You can export a complete, portable JSON backup of all your data at any time via Settings → Data & Sync → Manual backup. This file includes your habits, completions, Path data, journal entries, mood logs, weekly reports, and preferences. You can import this backup on any device to restore your full history. We do not have access to your backup files.

Information sent to third parties

Lazy Panda is designed so that ordinary use does not require sending your data to any server. Third-party interactions are limited to the following:

  • Subscriptions and lifetime access (RevenueCat): When you purchase or restore Lazy Panda Pro or a lifetime subscription, Apple or Google processes payment. RevenueCat validates entitlements with those stores. RevenueCat may receive purchase identifiers, product IDs, app user identifiers they assign, and related transaction metadata — not your habit, journal, or Path data.
  • Cloud sync (optional): If you enable iCloud or Google Drive sync, your data is sent directly to your personal cloud storage account. Apple and Google process this data under their own privacy policies. We do not receive it.
  • Google Sign-In (optional, Google Drive sync only): When connecting Google Drive, Google's authentication flow runs. We receive only your Google email address to display in the app. We do not store it on our servers.
  • Push notifications: Your device's operating system delivers reminders you enable. We do not need your habit list on a server to show a local notification.
  • We do not sell your personal information. We do not use your data for advertising profiles.

Website

If you visit our marketing site, normal web logs (such as IP address, browser type, and pages viewed) may be processed by our hosting or analytics providers according to their policies. The site does not access data inside the Lazy Panda app on your phone.

How we use information

On-device data is used solely to render the app, compute insights you ask for, generate weekly reports, track Path progression, and remember your settings. None of this data is sent to our servers.

If you enable cloud sync, your data is transmitted directly to your personal cloud storage. We do not access or process it.

Purchase data is used only to unlock Pro features or lifetime access you bought.

Your Google email address (if you connect Google Drive) is displayed in the app to confirm which account is connected. It is not stored on our servers or used for any other purpose.

Retention and deletion

Data on your device remains until you delete it in the app, erase app storage, or uninstall Lazy Panda. Exported backups remain until you delete the files yourself.

If you enabled cloud sync, your backup file remains in your iCloud or Google Drive until you delete it from Settings → Data & Sync, or delete it directly from your cloud storage account. We cannot delete it on your behalf.

Because we do not store your data on our servers, there is no Lazy Panda server data to request deletion of. To exercise rights related to purchase history, contact Apple or Google as appropriate.

Security

We rely on platform security (iOS and Android) and careful app design. Data transmitted during cloud sync is sent over encrypted connections to Apple or Google infrastructure. No method of storage or transmission is perfectly secure. Protect your device with a passcode and ensure your iCloud or Google account uses a strong password and two-factor authentication.

Your choices and rights

Because core data is on your device, you can export (Settings → Data & Sync → Manual backup), delete items in-app, or uninstall the app to remove local data. If you enabled cloud sync, you can disconnect it or delete your cloud backup from Settings → Data & Sync at any time.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data held by third parties such as Apple, Google, or RevenueCat.

For privacy questions or requests regarding WebLabs Consulting Inc.'s handling of information, email support@weblabsconsulting.org.

Children

Lazy Panda is intended for users age 13 and older and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information in a way that requires action, contact us at the email above.

International users

If you use Lazy Panda from outside your home country, purchase-related information may be processed in the United States or other regions where Apple, Google, or RevenueCat operate. If you enable cloud sync, your data is stored in your iCloud or Google Drive account, which may be hosted in data centres outside your country according to Apple's or Google's policies. Your on-device data does not leave your device unless you explicitly enable cloud sync or export a backup.

Changes

We may update this policy when features or legal requirements change. We will post the new date at the top of this policy. Continued use of the app or site after changes means you accept the updated policy unless applicable law requires other consent.
