Firmhold collects only what it needs to function:
Firmhold is intended for adults 18 and older, consistent with our Terms of Service. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If we learn an account belongs to someone under 18, we will delete it.
We do not sell your data. We do not share it with third parties except as described below.
The optional Firmhold Companion browser extension checks your open tabs, including ones in the background rather than just the one you're viewing, to notice when a site you've personally chosen to monitor is open. It never reads page content, page titles, or your general browsing history, and matching happens locally in the extension itself. When it detects a session on a monitored site, only the domain, a duration, and a timestamp are sent to Firmhold's servers, never the full URL and never anything from tabs that don't match your list. Nothing is auto-logged: a detected session appears as a card in your dashboard for you to confirm as a relapse, an urge survived, or a false positive. You can edit or clear your monitored-domain list at any time from Settings, and pause or disconnect the extension whenever you want.
Your data is retained as long as your account is active. You can delete your account at any time from the Settings page. Account deletion permanently removes all log entries, patterns, and profile data. Payment records are retained by Polar per their legal obligations.
All data is transmitted over HTTPS. Row-level security ensures users can only access their own data. Passwords are hashed and never stored in plain text. Pattern analysis runs on our servers. Your data is never sent to a third-party AI service.
