Privacy policy

SoberCrew explains what recovery data it collects, how it stores it, and how users stay in control.

This privacy policy covers account information, recovery content, optional analytics, security practices, email communications, and account deletion rights.

Data collection and storage

SoberCrew collects account information such as email address and profile photo through Google and Firebase Authentication.

Recovery data can include sobriety date, home group, bio, journal entries, nightly reviews, gratitude lists, step work, recovery checkpoint reflections, and any optional photos or videos attached to those entries.

Anonymous analytics and privacy-filtered crash reports may also be collected when the user consents, with the stated goal of improving app performance and stability.

Security and storage

SoberCrew states that user data is stored with Google Firebase services and that passwords are handled by Google Identity rather than stored directly by the app.

Optional media uploads such as progress photos, nightly review photos, or videos are stored in Firebase Storage and associated with the user account so they can appear in recovery tools and journal history.

For app stability, SoberCrew also uses privacy-filtered error monitoring and states that passwords, auth tokens, journal content, email addresses, and notification tokens are excluded from crash reports.

Email communications

The policy describes transactional emails such as onboarding reminders, password resets, security alerts, and service-related updates as required account communications.

It also describes limited engagement emails for users who sign up but do not begin using the app, with those reminders stopping automatically once the user becomes active or sets a sobriety date.

Sent email records are described as retained for 30 days for delivery tracking, while reminder logs may be retained longer to avoid duplicate sends.

User rights and account control

Users are told they can access their data within the app, permanently delete their account and associated records, and opt out of analytics cookies through banner settings where applicable.

The policy says that when an account is deleted, associated email records are also permanently removed.

Contact and support

Questions about the policy or personal data handling are directed to the developer through the app support channels.

The public policy page is intended to explain what SoberCrew collects, why it is collected, and how users can stay in control of their information.
