Privacy Policy

Last updated 4 August 2026 · Neon Frenchie LLC

Pouch Tax is a nicotine-pouch quit tracker published by Neon Frenchie LLC. This policy explains what the app stores, why, and how you get it back or delete it.

Pouch Tax is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice. Savings and nicotine totals are estimates calculated from figures you enter. Speak with a qualified healthcare professional for personalised help with nicotine withdrawal or cessation medication.

Who we are

Neon Frenchie LLC is the data controller for information processed by Pouch Tax. Contact: chris@neonfrenchie.com.

SlipsWhen it happened, how many pouches, any note, and whether it started a new streak

Settings and device

Notification preferences, quiet hours, theme, and whether you enabled analytics. If you turn on notifications we store a push notification token for each device, along with the platform, app version and timezone, so reminders reach the right device.

How it is stored

Your data is stored in Google Cloud Firestore, operated by Google as our processor, in a United States multi-region. Access is enforced by server-side security rules: each signed-in user can read and write only their own records, and nobody else's. The app keeps a local cache on your device so it works without a connection.

What we do not do

Analytics and diagnostics

If analytics are enabled, we collect aggregate usage and crash diagnostics to find bugs and understand which features are used. These reports are designed to exclude the sensitive specifics — your exact money amounts, pouch counts, nicotine strength, brand, notes, and email address are not sent as analytics parameters. You can turn analytics off in Settings.

Your rights and choices

Depending on where you live — for example under GDPR in the UK and EEA, or under state privacy laws in the United States — you may have additional rights to access, correct, port, or erase your data, and to object to processing. Write to chris@neonfrenchie.com and we will respond within the timeframe your law requires.

Retention

We keep your data until you delete it. Deleting your account removes your account record, quit profile, settings, cravings, slips, rewards, milestones and device tokens, and deletes your authentication identity. Deletion is immediate and cannot be undone. Backups and logs may retain residual copies for a short period before being overwritten in the ordinary course.

Children

Pouch Tax is intended for adults who use or have used nicotine pouches. It is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect data from anyone under the age required to purchase nicotine products where they live.

Changes

If this policy changes materially we will update this page and the date above, and where appropriate notify you in the app.
